Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 14: Dark Gifts of Dalaran is probably one of the biggest patches this game mode has ever gotten.

If you ask a WoW player, Bloodmage Thalnos (or Thalnos the Soulrender) is just a barely-remembered boss in the Scarlet Monastery, not particularly noteworthy. Ask a Hearthstone player, though, and you might just get a declaration of love for one of the most iconic cards that have ever graced the game, and possibly the only card to remain unchanged, and still playable, since the game’s inception.

Fishing is the favorite activity for void creatures, as well as non-void creatures who decide to dabble in the void, like Void Elves, Shadow Priests, or Devourer Demon Hunters. It is said that the things that lurk in the bottom are constantly calling out to like-minded individuals, attempting to lure them closer, to pull them in. Somewhere in the depths, the Fish of N’Zoth watches and waits.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is The Weeknd.

What do I have in common with him? We both started our Persona 5 playthroughs intending to date Takemi (aka Punk-rock Woman), but ended up not dating Takemi.

A new Hearthstone expansion, Escape from Violet Hold, has just been released, and as is tradition, it's time for a new Tavern Brawl offering players a taste of the new deck recipes.

Hearthstone is currently undergoing some big changes — communication, balance, bigger patches than usual — but one thing remains unchanged: their Darkmoon Faire gacha-style roulette game, the only current way to obtain pets, is still egregiously expensive and awful.

Hearthstone has a new expansion, Escape from Violet Hold, and this time VanVan — that's Vanessa VanCleef for you uninitiated — is commanding a daring prison break from the Violet Hold, now guarded by none other than Maiev Shadowsong.

Hearthstone's next expansion, Escape From Violet Hold launches July 7, and we're getting a pre-release Tavern Brawl where, as usual, we can open the new expansion packs in advance!

Ah, the cactus. Truly the most tsundere of plants. Dangerous on the outside, but secretly surviving on minimal amounts of affection. Touch it wrong? It retaliates. Neglect it completely, leaving it abandoned in some forlorn corner of a convention hall? Somehow, it thrives.

This is The Queue, your daily Q&A column where I’m not Cory, and I’m writing two Queues in a row. It happens sometimes. Just like love for a spiky plant, adeptly captured in a liminal picture.

If you were imprisoned in Dalaran’s maximum security prison for beings from all across the cosmos, Violet Hold, what would you do? Would you attempt a daring escape, or would you just accept your fate and wait for the heroes to inevitably come in, beat you up just for being there, and probably loot your pants on the way out? Look, I don’t know what you did but I ain’t no snitch.

This is The Queue, our daily column where we’re here to answer Qs and bribe some guards, and we’re all out of guards.
