Dragonflight implemented a major rework of professions for players, adding quality tiers to materials and crafted goods, profession knowledge trees, and crafting orders.

My wife has been listening to the Jack Reacher series via audiobooks and last week was a tough one for her: the titular character was enduring the heat of Texas while we were sweating through a 90 degree heat wave.

Guild Wars 2 had their first beta for the Janthir Wilds expansion this weekend, a limited-time opportunity to test all the new abilities coming alongside the Spear for the game's professions.

Another weekend, another chance to play some games!

It's Steam Summer Sale time again!

Last week Elden Ring released its first expansion Shadow of the Erdtree to glowing reviews -- although there are apparently some framerate issues on PC that hopefully will be addressed quickly.

After all the excitement of Summer Game Fest and Steam NextFest the last couple weeks it's nice to have a weekend where you can relax and catch up on games.

It’s time for the Midsummer Fire Festival in World of Warcraft and your Dragonriding Skyriding mount is ready to enjoy the festivities with their own special Midsummer Fire Festival Armor.

Tavern Talk comes out tomorrow. A fantasy version of one of my favorite games Coffee Talk (which was an inspiration for it), Tavern Talk looks like a fun opportunity to be an innkeeper, sending adventurers on quests and changing their fates via the drinks you serve. I played the demo when it was first released (still available if you want to give the game a whirl beforehand) and every character I’ve met so far is a delight. Based on what I’ve seen I’m hopeful that the full game will fulfill the promise of its demo and inspirations, and if not well I always have Coffee Talk to play again.

So while I impatiently wait for the game to release let’s answer some questions!

The solstice isn't until tomorrow but if you live in the United States you're already dealing with a ridiculous heat wave; our neighbors on the other side of the world aren't much luckier, as Australia is dealing with really cold temperatures as its winter commences.
