It’s dark out when I get home after work now, so when we walk Marshmallow we’re sure to wear reflective vests, pay attention to cars that aren’t likely paying attention to us, and being sure to keep light around us at all times so that the Grue doesn’t get us. We’ve been lucky so far, but I’m starting to run low on torches and the Solstice is still more than a month away. Some might say I should walk Marshmallow at lunch instead of after work; others might point out there’s no such thing as a Grue.

Still, I’m not taking any chances.

So while I break off chair legs and douse them in gasoline for easy ignition, let’s answer some questions!

The Janthir Wilds has been out for three months now and that means it's time for the first free quarterly post-expansion release.

The War Within Season 1 continues and we’ve made another full circuit of all the World Bosses with the return this week of Orta the Broken Mountain in Azj-Kahet.

This is the tenth year of The Game Awards and Geoff Keighley's baby has grown into an entire industry like the Oscars and Grammys.

The next expansion in the World of Warcraft Worldsoul Saga is Midnight and with 2025's roadmap published we can attempt to predict when it might arrive.

As they have done for the past few years, the World of Warcraft development team has released a roadmap for the upcoming year.

World of Warcraft is maintaining an aggressive content schedule through the end of 2024, with patch 11.0.7 launching earlier than we expected: the WoW patch 11.0.7 release date is December 17, 2024.

Today is the Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct stream and with BlizzCon normally scheduled for this time of year there's a lot of excitement building around the 45-minute showcase as all the announcements typically revealed at the Anaheim Convention Center are likely to get their spotlight here instead.

Final Fantasy 14's latest expansion Dawntrail arrived in early July and it's time for the first major patch of the expansion, titled Crossroads.

The newest weekly quest from High Speaker Brinthe to collect 100 titan disc fragments had a very interesting revelation that I’m not going to get into because it wouldn’t be fair as many people haven’t had a chance to complete it yet. But I recommend doing so as they’re dropping some ginormous hints about what the ultimate culmination plot of the Worldsoul Saga will be.

What I particularly like is that while the gears in my head were turning they were turning in Dagran’s head too. All too often we see major NPCs hold tight to the idiot stick when there’s a lore reveal that holds major implications, but it seems at least one major character won’t be dumbfounded when this new tidbit pays off in The Last Titan.

Of course, that’s two expansions and a few years from now, but there may be a quiz in a fortnight so pay attention! While we all sharpen our #2 pencils, let’s answer some questions about the here and now!
