This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe take a look at Warbringers: Jaina, and Jaina’s life in general – which dovetails nicely into WoW’s pre-expansion War of the Thorns event, and the actions of Sylvanas Windrunner. It’s an explorat...

If you've been reading these silly things for long, you know how much I like to wax poetic about my favorite underdog Overwatch League team, the Shanghai Dragons. Since the regular season — and the Dragons' matches — came to a close, I haven't ha...

In the Boomsday Project trailer, poor Peter Whalen was turned into a chicken and I don't think anyone is sufficiently worried about that. Even in the most recent card reveal stream, Brian Kibler seemed pretty chill with his chicken co-host.&...

Jaina. The word is definitely Jaina. And if you try to tell me that Jaina is a name, not a word, I will counter that it can be both. Today, we got a whisper of Jaina's story, and it was beautiful and terrifying. Let's take a look at it ...

It's patch day in World of Warcraft, and the servers are back up and running patch 8.0.1. Mostly. As with any patch day, there's been some small, itsy bitsy amount of instability. (I'm starting to think I really should have made a "maybe" im...

Ah, the day before the day. In the morning the WoW servers will go down and patch 8.0 will start rolling out. It's the end of a lot of things, but it's also a new beginning. Battle for Azeroth is just around the corner.

These days, Blizzard has enough games to make Tuesday always patch day. Which is to say that even though World of Warcraft didn't get 8.0, we still had two patches roll out today. (Mathematically, that's a lot. Trust me on this.)

Another day over, another day closer to Battle for Azeroth. But maybe not that close (yet) because we probably won’t have a pre-patch this week. (I got to break out our fab Illidan no GIF and everything 2018-07-10 03:15:00 +0000 UTC View Post
