A new season is about to start for Hearthstone Battlegrounds: Cataclysm Calls will be here April 14, and it promises to shake things up a little more than usual with two new keywords, Fodder for Demons, and Chromadrake for Dragons.

It’s almost Noblegarden, the annual holiday where the Great Goblin in the Noble Garden puts on his bunny costume, finds a nice spot to crouch down, [REDACTED], and we get a lot of chocolate eggs. Nature on Azeroth is beautiful.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where all the lore is made up, and the points don’t matter. But the questions do matter, so let’s get to them!

We've got ourselves a brand-new Hearthstone Tavern Brawl this week!

I take a lot of screenshots, no matter which game I’m playing, and WoW is, of course, no exception. I have an excessive amount of screenshots of various games saved on my drives. I guess taking cool screenshots is the main reason I do transmog.

It’s even better when weird stuff like graphical glitches happen (even if they’re minor, like your transmog showing both your 2H and dual wielding weapons at the same time). That’s the kind of stuff that’s fun to post about the moment it happens, and also fun to remember later.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we encourage everyone to make their toons look good and find the perfect angle.

One of the simplest, most classic variations of Tavern Brawl Hearthstone has ever seen is back this week.

Yes, I know WoW has a new expansion and everyone is excited about it. Xal’atath is great, yadda yadda. Did you know that the Cataclysm expansion has just been released as well?! (For Hearthstone.)

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we play other Blizzard games too! (But we also play a lot of WoW, and we are super excited about it as well, so you’ll get that too, of course.)

Let’s open with a Hearthstone question.

Once again, it's a new Hearthstone expansion, Cataclysm, and we get a new "recipe" Brawl.

Year of the Scarab is now live in Hearthstone with the launch of the Cataclysm expansion, which starts things out with a real bang.

Would you believe it’s already Friday the 13th again!? It was Friday the 13th just a month ago! I admit that I hadn’t had enough time to recharge my spook batteries yet! So this is gonna be a considerably less spooky affair than last time.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where the witches are tired, man. They’re sleeping. Do witches sleep? I think witches sleep, but I’m honestly not sure.

A new Hearthstone expansion looms in the horizon: Cataclysm is launching on March 17, and as is tradition, we're getting a pre-release Tavern Brawl where we can open packs in advance and test out those new cards.
