We're officially in back to school mode in our neck of the woods, which means that in addition to our regular activities, there's also a ton of additional orientation activities, plus summer wrap up parties, and shopping, and cleaning.

Cory joined us for this week's show, and by coincidence there was also a Heroes of the Storm patch the day they recorded.

The Epic Games Store is giving away two games this week, one of which is brand new on the platform.

This week's Lore Watch Podcast featured three different listener questions, answered by our intrepid hosts Matt and Joe.

No wait, strike that, reverse it. I’m late!

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll answer quickly. We gotta run, man.

It started this week when Cory mentioned opera in his Queue, so of course I had to immediately go watch Diana Damrau sing the Queen of the Night aria -- and down the rabbit hole I went, listening to both analysis of the performance and even more opera I enjoy.

If you're dipping your feet into the newly released Mists of Pandaria Classic you probably have some time to listen to us chat about it -- though it seems like the bottlenecks of spawns from the starting experience back in the day have been hotfixed.

The Epic Games Store is giving away Legion TD 2 this week, a title which many Warcraft RTS fans may find a little familiar.

This week's podcast features three different reader questions shoved into one podcast trenchcoat.

Sometimes, even with the power of Spirit City life is inherently distracting. It doesn’t help when someone accidentally activates your trap card and all of a sudden you’re forced to watch Diana Damrau sing the Queen of the Night Aria from The Magic Flute. See, the music itself is stellar and obviously a lofty goal for any soprano, but the performance itself is what truly elevates the piece. The music is sweet and light, and full of technical runs, but the words — as bolstered by the staging and costuming and acting — show an absolutely unhinged woman laughing at the thought of forcing her daughter to murder a priest. The daughter is beside herself, weeping, clutching a dagger, while this woman swears vengeance, claims she is wronged, and giggles. It’s goosebumps inducing.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll get back to the answer part soon we swear.
