Sometimes life boops you off the edge of the map, and there’s nothing you can do. Other times it rains justice from above or drops the hammer down on you, and you’re not able to escape unscathed, but you do escape — and in those situations, it’s fair that you cry out that you need healing.

This is The Queue. I need healing, but the match ain’t over ’til the payload is delivered!

One of the new keywords in the newest Hearthstone expansion, Showdown in the Badlands, is Quickdraw, and it works by giving cards an extra effect if they're played on the same turn as they enter a player's hand.

The Excavate keyword in Hearthstone's newest expansion, Showdown in the Badlands, allows you to dig for treasure cards; and the more you do it, the stronger those treasures become.

BlizzCon 2023 just ended about a week ago, and as we're in the tail end of our hype for it, it's the perfect opportunity for another special edition of WRUP.

If you've ever wanted your World of Warcraft characters to have their hair displaying under their helmets (instead of mysteriously vanishing), you might be in luck: there's a chance we're getting exactly that at some point in the future.

BlizzCon 2023 took place this weekend, and considering that you're visiting this site and reading this article, you're most likely well aware.

Our own Cory Taylor had the opportunity to have an exclusive chat with World of Warcraft Game Director Ion Hazzikostas at BlizzCon 2023, and he shared some of his thoughts on the upcoming WoW expansion, The War Within -- especially about one of its most promising new features, Warbands.

Hearthstone will soon introduce a strong new way for players to catch up with the times: Catch-Up Packs are a new type of Hearthstone pack that can have between five and 50 cards in them.

The famous “Sakeru Gummy vs. Long Sakeru Gummy” series of commercials — more popularly known as the “Long Long Man” commercials — are some of the greatest commercials ever made. So much that they actually won the top prize (the Silver Lion) at the 2018 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, among other awards.

I’m reminded of that commercial because last night I asked for Queue questions, and you guys delivered (I love you all): I got so many of them that this Queue grew incredibly long. So long that the very first draft already went over the unknown limit where the ghosts in the machine get fed up with our crap and decide to erase the whole thing. So I had to cut some questions, which is really sad.

Alas, much like our hero Tooru-san, This Queue will forever be envious of a longer Queue — the kind of Queue that would make his beloved Chi-chan swoon — but that it’ll never be.

It's Friday, which means that we're exactly seven days away from the return of BlizzCon!
