Forget the Fourth of July -- this weekend is all about the fifth of July, because it's time for another Summer Games Done Quick!

It’s Friday! The weekend is here, and hopefully that means you’ve all got lots of time to be lazy, and productive, and then lazy again. Laziness is an important part of many good weekends, as long as you’re not forgetting to pick someone up from the airport. Maybe you’ll go to a market and buy some fresh produce, or take in a movie. You should check out your local indie movie theater, maybe they have some fun stuff on offer. A couple of weeks ago, I saw Blazing Saddles in honor of Mel Brooks’ 100th birthday at my local indie theater, and it was a great time! We didn’t even plan on doing it, just noticed a flyer and were nearby with time to spare. It was fate.

While I try to figure out what to do with this weekend, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

We are jumping right in to Turbulent Timeways this week, which have returned until August.

Summer is well upon us, and with it a heat wave that has me staying well out of the sunshine. But the Ice Stone is still here, and still needs melting, so once again I queue up to kill Frost Lord Ahune for summertime festivity (and transmog).

Fortunately I can do this while staying indoors, because I really want all of the new Midsummer Fire Festival transmog.

But for now, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my best to answer your definitely video game related questions. Let’s get to it.

Every week the Epic Games Store gives away a game or two for free.

Turbulent Timeways has returned during World of Warcraft's patch 12.0.7, starting June 30 and running through August 11.

Hearthstone's next expansion, Escape From Violet Hold launches July 7, and we're getting a pre-release Tavern Brawl where, as usual, we can open the new expansion packs in advance!

Here are some things to keep in mind about whether or not we have to start having memorials to Suchomimus, the Spinosaurid that has recently been in the Dinosaur loving news because a recent paper indicated that Cristatusaurus and Suchomimus may in fact have been the same animal. Why does that matter? Because if they are, then Suchomimus — the animal with more complete fossils — would become Cristatusaurus because it was named first and in taxonomy the first described specimen has naming priority.

 

The Loa of death Bwonsamdi is the first topic in this week's Lore Watch Podcast.

With the Lord of Hatred expansion, I think it's fair to say that Diablo 4 finally has a story that feels complete.
