Torghast, Tower of the Damned is one of the most anticipated features of World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion, Shadowlands.

It’s finally over. I’ve done everything on Mechagon island required of me to get the keys to the shiny Monocycle. I am Mecha-Done. I really liked Mechagon when it first came out in 8.2. After the struggles to get the last things necessary for the achievement — I like it a little less.

It was a lot. But it’s over now and it’s time for — the Queue.

One of the biggest questions that arose when Blizzard announced the leveling squish in Shadowlands was "How is flying going to work?" And now that the Shadowlands alpha is out, we finally have an answer.

What's that up in the sky?

Like a bolt from above, the Gods have arrived in Heroes of the Storm -- and Cassia and Tracer have never looked better.

If both Mitch and Liz get to post pictures of their pets — I get to post mine right?

This is Bacardi, and he’s an ornery lil fella, and he has torn up more than one couch in his lifetime — but he’s my ornery lil jerk.

I've spent a lot of time in Torghast since it came to the Shadowlands alpha.

Another boss down! Hivemind has fallen and we’re moving further into Mythic Ny’alotha. I’m a little sad to see it go, partly because I love the massive amounts of targets in the Hivemind encounter — having a giant Twilight Devastation rip through a huge pile of bugs will always be super satisfying — and partly because my team is getting into the tougher bosses now. I’ve come to really appreciate how much I dislike the soccer mechanics on Dark Inquisitor Xanesh. They were already really unforgiving on Heroic, but when you jump up to Mythic they are a binary pass/fail. Either your soccer players get their goal or the raid wipes. No second chances, no get out of jail free cards — just splat. Mistakes happen! We’re only human, but man is it rough when you’re having a great pull, and then you blink and everyone is dead.

It also made me appreciate just how lucky I am to be sharing tanking duties with a guy I enjoy playing with. We’d gotten halfway through our night and realized that we weren’t on the same page for the tank swaps. It’s probably because we’d spent the first part of raid comparing the various qualities of rum and whiskey. I’ve had good co-tanks and not so good co-tanks and man is it nice to know that I’ve got a partner who isn’t taking everything too seriously.  It’s a little thing, that can help make the raid wipes just fly by.

But enough about Xanesh. It’s time for — the Queue.

Revendreth has just been added to the Shadowlands alpha, so come explore all of the spooky corners of it with us!

Flight enthusiasts rejoice!
