World of Warcraft patch 10.0.7 and the continuing Diablo 4 beta have been vying for our attention this week...

We've made it through another week, which means we have another week's news backlog to get through.

It's been a big week World of Warcraft news, including a patch 10.0.7 release date, a preview of patch 10.1, and patch 10.1 going live on the PTR.

It is just so satisfying to swoop through the air on a dragon, barely clearing mountains just to pick up speed going back down, barely dodging trees, crashing down into the ground right on top of the rare you mean to kill.

Okay. That’s a lie, because I almost never manage to dodge trees. But there’s still something viscerally satisfying about Dragonriding, and I’m looking forward to doing more of it, in a place where there are no trees to hit in patch 10.1.

Let’s Queue.

We've had a bunch of busy weeks lately, but this week was actually pretty quiet.

It can’t possibly be Friday (again). I must be imagining it. I’m just filling in on the Queue for…. someone. Probably. Because it’s definitely not Friday.

Despite this week's Diablo buzz, it's been relatively quiet for us Blizzard Watchers...

If Friday is a state of mind, then it is always Friday and it is never Friday. All week we hope for Friday, and when Friday comes we wait for five o’clock when we can go off to our exciting weekend plans, and then the weekend zooms by and it’s Monday again. That Friday feeling is fleeting, ephemeral, and always out of reach — either in a too distant future or drifting into the past, but never the present.

But for this brief moment in time, it is Friday. Let us enjoy our Friday together for the brief time it lasts. Let’s Queue.

It's been a busy week for Diablo fans, with a new Ladder Season in Diablo 2: Resurrected, the imminent release of Diablo 3 Season 28, and the possible announcement of the Diablo 4 open beta this weekend.

My very first day in Dragonflight I found an item in the Waking Shores that, when clicked spawned butterflies around me. The butterflies kept spawning around me, in multiple colors, fluttering around, for a half hour. I’ve never found the item again — it isn’t where I originally saw it. It was one of those small, delightful surprises that seems to permeate the Dragon Isles.

Dragonflight feels like a whole new game.

Let’s talk about it.
