The fate of the Primus may be revealed in patch 9.1
The Primus, wayward leader of the Necrolords of Maldraxxus, got a new model in patch 9.1, and in addition to that snazzy update, we also now find out what happened to him when he vanished -- both where he was going, and why.
The Queue: Return of the Shoulders
In honor of the patch 9.1 separate shoulder transmog option, this Queue will be answered by me, with help from Rossi’s Rosin-Soaked Shoulderplates, since we’re friends now.
They are my favorites. They will be your favorites too.
How do you approach datamined spoilers?
With patch 9.1 now on the PTR, we're facing a deluge of potential spoilers including new models, details about new zones, and much more.
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for — we finally get separate shoulder transmogs in patch 9.1
It's not entirely bug free as of the moment I tested it, but at last, the option to transmog your shoulder armor independently is coming in patch 9.1, and I couldn't be happier.

If you were born after 2000, first off, congratulations on making me feel like a shriveled animated corpse driven from its tomb, but also, congratulations on being younger than Diablo 2.

Should WoW Classic be a remastered version of original World of Warcraft?
I have argued exactly the opposite of this on several occasions, and I might do so again, but sitting here at 5 am the day after I got my eye injections I find myself thinking that the new Chronoboon Displacer -- while it is something that never existed in vanilla WoW -- is a good sign for the future of WoW Classic.
Diablo 2: Resurrected is Diablo 2, which is good, because that’s what we were all hoping it would be.
After spending several hours playing Diablo 2: Resurrected on a Barbarian and an Amazon, I can report that my first impression of the game is that it is indeed Diablo 2, just prettier.
What makes the perfect remastered game?
Let's compare the not yet released Diablo 2: Resurrected with last year's Warcraft 3 Reforged -- why is the latter game seen as less than a successful remaster while the former has everyone abuzz with excitement?
