Janthir Wilds is the second expansion for Guild Wars 2 since they replaced their "Living Season" content release model with an annual expansion followed by three quarterly updates.

The Nebula Awards are one of the most prestigious for the genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy, and in 2019 they added a new award for Best Game Writing.

I'll be 100% honest: I thought BlizzCon was dead.

After you've successfully completed the Liberation of Undermine raid in any difficulty (including Story Mode) a series of epilogue quests become available dealing with the aftermath of your victory.

With this week's opening of the "Story Mode" of the Liberation of Undermine raid players who have not had the opportunity to defeat Chrome King Gallywix in the raid at Normal or higher difficulty (the fight doesn't open for LFR for another two weeks) now have the opportunity to complete the campaign and see all the story that patch 11.1 has to offer.

BlizzCon 2026 is happening and I couldn’t be more excited! Well, that’s not true — I’d be a lot more excited if we were getting BlizzCon 2025. That said after BlizzCon 2024 was cancelled I wasn’t sure if we’d ever have another one again so it’s welcome news that the event isn’t dead yet.

As for whether or not I’ll try to attend I’m actually leaning towards it; I’ve yet to go to a BlizzCon so it’d be a new experience. The only concern is flying out there — I’d rather drive but Carolina to California may be too much of a haul. Of course it’s not just planes that give me anxiety as I’m not fond of large crowds anymore either. Now that I think about it I’ll probably be happier staying home and watching it on screen instead of in person. I guess I have 18 months to make up my mind.

Whether or not I go though I’m curious what’s going to be announced. If Midnight is out early next year as expected it seems a little too soon to be talking about The Last Titan (although the Northrend visual in the trailer suggests that could be the case). It’s definitely too early to talk about what’s after the Worldsoul Saga, right? Maybe it’s spinoff time!

While I dream about a Heroes of the Storm revival, let’s answer some questions!

The new world boss in The War Within patch 11.1 is the Gobfather.

Janthir Wilds is the second expansion for Guild Wars 2 since they moved to an annual release cadence for new content.

Ok, that is admittedly a poor quality header image, but do you know how hard it is to take screenshots in the middle of digging through trash? Anyhow, sing it with me!

I am a Dwarf and I’m digging through trash
Diggy diggy trash
Diggy diggy trash
I am a Dwarf and I’m digging through trash

Digging through trash

I said this already earlier this week but I’ll repeat it here in case you missed it: the aesthetic of Undermine does nothing for me but the vibe is fantastic. I don’t plan on sticking around after the patch, mind you, but it’s kind of a nice break from the usual rigmarole our characters go through on a daily basis.

Anyhow Liz was not able to do the queue today so I’m taking a break from shoveling through trash for Empty Kaja’Cola Cans to answer your questions! Let’s get to it!

This week is the Steam Visual Novel Fest, the gaming provider's annual celebration of the popular combination game and book genre.
