“Knight to C3,” commanded Peggy Sparklewrench. The gnome was determined to beat Medivh this time.

Medivh cheated. The black Knight burst into flames.

Having lost the game, Peggy said “screw this” and headed to the hot tub that had been set up on the Nightbane balcony, to take a dip with her new friends (a murloc, a cow, and Reno Jackson).

We've all known, since it first appeared as decoration in the Undermine zone, that this Shu'halo Perspective painting (an original Moocasso!) is the greatest piece of art that's ever been created in World of Warcraft.

Today's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl lets you make a finely curated deck of only a few cards and almost guarantee you'll get the cards you need on each turn.

Looking at the new Silvermoon, and Eversong Woods in general is, in many ways, almost like looking at a “WoW 2.” Or, perhaps, a remastered version of WoW. It’s a bigger, better-looking, improved on nearly every aspect version of the same zones we first saw in Burning Crusade, 19 years ago. Familiar places, locations, NPCs, looking shiny and new and breathtaking.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we have a constant sense of awe finding out how that gate or that tunnel or that spire looks just like it does in our memories, but better.

I decided to hasten my original plans and get a Nintendo Switch 2 now rather than wait until May. I’m now the proud owner of this new console, and I’m ready to… delve into my backlog of Switch 1 games.

Welcome to The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we buy things now just to be safe, we change our plans at a moment’s notice, and in the meantime, we answer questions.

Last time we talked about Hearthstone pets, they cost $158, which we thought was egregiously high.

I don’t believe in witches, but if they fly, they fly.

This is an extra-spooky Friday the 13th edition of The Queue, our daily Q&A where you ask us scary questions and we give you frightening answers. Hopefully. Probably. Look, scaring people is hard.

BOO!

So you're browsing the internet in search of a deck to play in Hearthstone, and you stumble upon a deck code.

Blizzard, you had better add this absolute work of art — perhaps the best prop item your artists have ever conceived — to Player Housing as a decor option. That will be all. I will not be taking questions at this time.

…except I will be taking questions at this time because this is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where the Q stands for — you guessed it — Questions! And Answer them we shall, right after I stop writing this intro.

There’s a lot going on in WoW right now, so it’s no surprise that we got a lot of questions about things that are currently going on in the game. Welcome back weekend! Housing! More housing! Midnight questing! Midnight catch up event!

This our daily Q&A column, and it’s called The Queue. You ask the questions, we provide the answers. Let’s boogie, players.
