If you have a problem with that headline, all I can say is that Anne started it. But if you don’t understand what I’m talking about, we should probably get on to the news. Here’s what happened today.
Meet Hammond the space hamster
After all of yesterday’s unexpected excitement, today really has been a quiet day. There isn’t even any Overwatch League to watch, which is making the evening feel a little empty, too. (Sure, HCT and HGC have events this weekend, but after an action-packed season of OWL, that doesn’t feel like...

Another Tuesday where absolutely nothing has happened, where I can just kick back, do some farming, level some professions... Er, wait. You're telling me something did happen? Lots of somethings? Well, we'd better talk about that, then.

Finally, Anne has answered my most important Battle for Azeroth question: which adorable animals can I pet in-game? The answer, of course, is not enough. But still, it's an important question and I'm glad we finally have it answered. So let's take a look at that and t...

There wasn't much in the way of news today, but there is a lot going on in our favorite games this weekend (by which I mean Warcraft, obviously). So let's talk the news and then take a look at our weekend to-do list.
We're ready for new Diablo
It's been a while since I've raided Ahn'Qiraj (or done the opening event), so I can look back at it (and its dumb achievements) with nostalgia. But if the event comes back around in WoW Classic, you can bet I will be back on the hate train.
And, yes, this is all to set up an obscure joke that is p...

When Legion was announced at Gamescom, minds were blown. Every spec for every class would gain an immensely powerful Artifact, the ultimate weapon for our battle against the Burning Legion. Some included the most famous weapons in the 2018-06-21 23:04:08 +0000 UTC View Post

World of Warcraft isn’t an epic fantasy game about fighting demons and monsters and sometimes each other. It’s about looking good. Sure, sometimes you want to look good while you’re fighting demons and monsters, but you also want to look good when you’re AFK in Dalaran or chilling o...

Whew, we’ve all survived another Monday. Farewell, Monday! You will not be missed. (Especially since next Monday will come around all too soon.)
But with Monday rapidly coming to a close, let’s talk games, and the playing and not playing of them. Okay, of course we’re going to play ...

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe dive right into a pretty lengthy discussion about Christie Golden’s newest novel, Before the Storm. What do the events of the novel mean for both Alliance and Horde, and how does it lead in to Battle for Azeroth? Please note: Events in the no...

It’s the last week of the last stage of Overwatch League, and everyone’s playing for keeps. It’s probably too late to expect a win by my favorites, the Shanghai Dragons, but I live in hope (even though they’ve just lost pretty convincingly against the Gladiators).

Who’s ready for a roundup? I hope you are, because it is roundup time. Roundup!
… yeah, okay, I don’t know where I was going with that. Let’s get to the news.
Before the Storm is out today
Except for all of that noise about E3, which, for some reason, a lot of you are super hyped about. But in the world of Blizzard, things are pretty peaceful... at least for now. There's a lore-centric Warcraft E3 panel on Wedne...

A lot has happened this week, and it’s not even over yet. So instead of wasting time with an introduction that you probably don’t care about, let’s jump in to the juicy stuff: the news.

Apparently it is Tuesday and I'm not really sure how that happened. If you tune in regularly, you've probably noticed a time-related theme to these roundups because my relationship with time is tenuous at best. The passage of time is mysterious and complicated and I'm pretty sure that I will never u...

I don't know how it's the end of the day, much less the end of the week. But somehow it is, and so we're going to take a look at today's news as well as a look back on the week.
It's a tough grind to get 100 exalted reputations
June has arrived, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how. But it’s here and there’s no escaping it: we simply have to deal with the horrors of summer. Ugh.
What? You’re saying summer is good? Well, gentlefolk, we will have to agree to disagree on that one, because it is hot...

I'm already getting reports that it is not, in fact, Monday. It just feels like Monday. A really long Monday. Anyway. Let's move beyond the weirdness of time and space to talk about what's been happening in the world of Blizzard.
