We have an official release date for Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8: the new Season, called Trinkets & Travels and including a new "Trinkets" mechanic, comes August 20.

The War Within is expanding the concept of Dragonriding in World of Warcraft to work with most flying mounts in the game, and letting players toggle between flying styles at any moment.

One of the major features in World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion The War Within is the Warband, which is meant to make almost everything in the game account-wide — and that includes bank access for items, gold, and crafting.

I like humans in fantasy games. I know I’m the exception here: people are all about elves and dwarves, orcs and minotaurs, vampires and werewolves, demons and angels. And I like those too! But for some reason, I always tend to gravitate towards good old, boring, predictable, vanilla, run-of-the-mill humans. Their stories speak more to me.

When it comes to other races, the truth is that, although there are exceptions, they can often be very stereotypical. Elves are long-lived, pretty, magically-inclined, nature-loving, and a bit arrogant. Orcs are brash, hot-headed, and warlike. Dwarves dig and drink. Humans, on the other hand, are more of a blank slate — and for that reason, they don’t have a predetermined set of stories already written for them. I just find that the intricacies of political drama on human kingdoms and the pains and woes of human drama are not only easier to relate to, but they usually scrape a little deeper as well.

And with my defense of what is often called “the most boring race someone could choose to play as in a fantasy game” — I disagree — it’s time to Queue.

Tavern Spells are here to stay: moving forward, they're going to be a part of Hearthstone Battlegrounds just as much as minions, so it's important to really know them — and which ones to buy.
