Some days you can really empathize with these skeletons is all I’m saying.

My guild has been working (without much success) on Herald of the Titans, and really I blame myself because I made the terrible mistake to play a Paladin. Not that there’s anything wrong with Paladins. I have played with some very excellent Paladins. I’m just not one of them.

But enough about me. How are you today?

Don’t we all? But instead of pondering our many regrets, let’s answer some questions.

Sometimes I play through quests and imagine them narrated, nature documentary style, by David Attenborough.

Now watch as the Old God examines its prey…

I am the antelope in this documentary, and things never go well for the antelope.

And now you have! Aren’t you happy about that?

As I finish writing this at around eight in the morning, I find myself utterly unable to come up with a unique or clever way to introduce the day’s column. Today, cleverness is DIY.

It's all been leading up to this.

Sure, sure, patch 8.2 has two massive new zones, two megadungeons, more of the war campaign (what's going to happen to my buddy Baine?!), and a raid where we finally get to confront Azshara.

I am really not feeling welcome here, you guys.
