It's another Monday in This Crazy World We All Apparently Live In Now, so let's distract ourselves with some cute duckies.

With a whole void-blasted planet full of new things to do when The War Within patch 11.2 launches in a few weeks, it's crunch time for accomplishing all of your Season 2 goals.

With Player Housing now live in World of Warcraft, we are able to finally see how much gold we'll need to save up to fully enjoy the new feature.

We've all had those moments of remorse as video game enthusiasts -- you sit out a season that ends up being top-notch, you make a big hardware purchase only to end up unimpressed after you unbox it, you lend your copy of Mega Man 4 to your best friend at the time and never see it again.

In the past few months we have seen a steady stream of updates on the imminent launch of Player Housing in World of Warcraft, with the latest answering many of the most commonly asked questions about Neighborhoods.

While Player Housing early access is now in full swing, we won't be able to experience the month-long collaborative block party of Endeavors until Midnight launches next year.

Now that we are starting to get major details about the grand finale of The War Within, the time is ripe to begin speculating on who will serve as the main antagonists for the next expansion, Midnight, as well as the finale of the three-part Worldsoul Saga, The Last Titan.

The War Within's upcoming patch 11.2 brings us the second major batch of content added to the expansion, with the only truly consequential bit being the ability to acquire my very own demonic rodent of unusual size.

Now that we're well into July, we've had a chance to see the Collector's Bounty buff in action within old raids and dungeons.

This year's Greedy Emissary crossover features hourly Treasure Goblins being pummeled into submission in order to acquire their loot -- "hellish" recolors of WoW's beloved Tier 2 armor sets.
