We exist on the very cusp of Friday, which itself is on the very cusp of the weekend. Myself and many others in the northern side of the country are currently attempting to make through a haze of wildfire smoke coming down from Canada, but… well, after looking out the window at the yellow-gray haze of the sky, I’ll just say it’ll be fine. We can do this. Nothing to worry about. Let’s play video games instead.

And now, this is our daily Q&A column in which we answer your questions about video games (and just about anything else). Let’s get to it.

It's a quick Tuesday maintenance for all World of Warcraft realms, with just an hour of maintenance scheduled for modern and classic realms.

The latest World of Warcraft Twitch Drop is a new color variant of the murloc plushie decor we've seen a few times before: the Cuddly Cotton Candy Grrgle, a bright pink and blue option on this cute Player Housing Decor item.

Last week was a quiet one in Blizzard games, save for the disheartening news of layoffs on the Xbox team, even though they're said not to be hitting Blizzard (so far).

What’s going on with all the raccoon talk in the last Queue? I asked Cory, and he told me “It’s a total mystery and nothing I did for sure.” So I have to take him at his word for it and assume it’s everyone else who is being weird. Why would a raccoon wear an eye patch, anyway? So I’m watching all of you is what I’m saying.

This the Queue, our daily Q&A column which I am currently using as an excuse to post this picture of Moo Deng, which is going to make all of our days better. Let’s get to it.

Leveling professions in Midnight can be an expensive, tedious process, so we're happy to report that the Darkmoon Faire is in town to award you with easy profession points right as the expansion launches.

I'm having a tough time working up the enthusiasm to tackle a new Diablo 4 season when I was just getting my character where I wanted it in the last Diablo 4 season.

Summer is well upon us, and with it a heat wave that has me staying well out of the sunshine. But the Ice Stone is still here, and still needs melting, so once again I queue up to kill Frost Lord Ahune for summertime festivity (and transmog).

Fortunately I can do this while staying indoors, because I really want all of the new Midsummer Fire Festival transmog.

But for now, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my best to answer your definitely video game related questions. Let’s get to it.

Everything has been coming up Warcraft recently, as WoW patch 12.0.7's launch led directly to WoW patch 12.1's announcement, but this week is about Diablo.

Diablo 4 went hard on RNG in the expansion, and it isn’t backing down. But it’s long since hit the point where I’m exhausted of fighting it and getting the “right” piece of gear for my build. And yet the RNG perseveres, when I do not. There is no defeating it; it will always loom over us, in every hour of every day of every game. We are slaves to this torment.

But while I continue to mourn my loot chances, let’s answer some questions. This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I make an attempt to answer your questions.
