This week we take a deep dive — pun obviously intended — into the lore and psychology of Azshara, the ruler of the Naga on Azeroth.

I have jury duty this week, so please think of me as you enjoy your life out in the world, as I sit on an uncomfortable chair in the most liminal space you can experience that still has people in it. I have a granola bar, and they provide coffee but it was too hot and I burned my entire esophagus. Here’s hoping my phone battery holds.

This is The Queue, our daily column where I hope you have a lot of Qs so I have something to do while I wait through the beigest of hells.

If you thought the purplest expansion couldn't get purpler, patch 12.0.7 of World of Warcraft proves us all wrong with yet another Void-themed event.

We start off Lore Watch this week wishing Mephisto a Happy Father's Day -- but are there any other fathers among the evils of Diablo?

It’s that time of year, when the humidity and heat conspire, and there is a predictable, yet unpredictable, 15 minute thunderstorm almost every afternoon. Comes on suddenly, pours, then stops and the sun comes out immediately, the pavement smoking as the rain evaporates. It’s a pretty wild phenomenon I haven’t really seen in many other places, and it means the dog days of summer are truly upon us.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we have an umbrella just in case.

We start off this week's podcast talking about a few upcoming things we've already sort of discussed -- WoW patch 12.0.7 is coming next week, as is the next season of Overwatch.

It’s funny how often I’ve had to go back and visit old content because of stuff they’ve discussed on the podcast. This past week, it was trying to remember exactly where and when Rendle pops up. I knew he was in Revendreth, but didn’t remember if he was accessible outside the raid to players who completed the storyline but didn’t join the faction. What was the next set of zones he was in. Undermine? No, that’s not right, but it sort of feels right in terms of his character, you know?

Anyway, it was quite the detour, and wow does Castle Nathria take forever to complete these days.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we don’t remember where to turn in all this anima we suddenly have, so we’ll get to you in a minute.

Because of the Blizzard Watch Site Curse, the day after we recorded the podcast, the release date for patch 12.0.7 was announced, because that's just how that works.
