Sharp-eyed readers may notice that today’s header image is one I tacked to the end of my last queue — if so I commend you for your observational skills and/or stalking behavior.

I saw a lot of gulls last week on my annual summer trip to North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Like most of the rest of the country it was pretty hot but not unbearably so; I was still able to do my normal resting and recreationing even if I read a lot more books than typical.

Of course all things good or bad must come to an end, so I’m back in the grind of things (the annual temptation to send in my work resignation from a beach chair was once again suppressed). While I sit here and ponder my next trip let’s answer some questions!

The War Within pre-patch 11.0.1 is now live, and with it we've gotten Warbands, Skyriding for most mounts, and the ability to unlock all sorts of new transmog.

Next week brings The War Within pre-patch aka patch 11.0.1 and while there's a lot arriving with the patch it's also bringing one of the most anticipated features in Warcraft history: Warbands.

The War Within is World of Warcraft's next expansion, and as always there will be a pre-patch that updates the game with new systems and expanded features.

Mitch may not be currently writing the queue, but his spirit lives on!

Let’s answer some questions before a fight erupts over the title!

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!
