The Queue: I can’t wait for my BC clownsuit
What you are looking at in the header image is an accurate recreation of what a leveling Warrior (or Paladin) would likely have been wearing by about level 67 or so during The Burning Crusade.
Most of it is quest gear, although the weapon is a dungeon drop. And yes, it really did look that bad.
What would you most like to add to your favorite Blizzard game?
I have wanted Barbarians in World of Warcraft forever.
Which consoles can run Diablo 4?
When Diablo 4 was announced in 2019, the big consoles were Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and the game was going to support both of them.
Warchief Gaming reveals their first project, and it’s a D&D campaign setting
I can't pretend I'm surprised that Chris Metzen's Warchief Gaming announced today that they're making a campaign setting for Dungeons and Dragons' 5e ruleset.
When will Diablo 3 Season 23 start? April 2!

The Queue: Spacing out
I’ve now done all of the Cyberpunk 2077 endings. My canon one for my V is the one with the Aldecaldos, but I like them all, except the really sad one. You’ll know which one if you’ve played it. Anyway, here’s V in space.
So, what’re y’all up to?
How should open-world questing deal with lots of players?
I've been thinking about those Blazing Ingots again.
Even after a spawn rate hotfix The Maw’s Blazing Ingots daily quest item can still only be looted by one player, and makes me deeply unhappy
In case you didn't know -- and I say this because I didn't -- there's been a change to the Blazing Ingot daily quest in the Maw that makes an already tedious experience painful to the point of futility.
