I’ve lived with an anxiety disorder for years, and one of the ways I’ve dealt with it is by isolating myself as much as possible from other people. Going to BlizzCon last year was a massive effort, and while I was very glad I got to go, I was also very tense and even afraid the whole time. Coming home was sad, because BlizzCon was so amazing, but it was also a huge relief to not be around so many people, and to be with my wife and our little family again.

So it’s strange. In a way, all this self-isolation we’re all doing now is just how I live all the time, so I’m seeing everyone having a hard time coping and I have no idea how to help. I hope you’re all holding up okay.

This is the Queue. We can hang out here.

Blizzard surprised us all this week by announcing changes to Corruption and Echoes of Ny'alotha, as well as to how quickly you could level up your Legendary Cloak, and then almost immediately hotfixing some of those changes live.

Starting this week, you'll be able to buy specific types of Corruption to apply to gear, removing the randomness from the system — and making it a lot easier for new 120s to gear up.

To this day, I love the moment in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls where you discover that the King of Westmarch has been deposed and murdered by one of his noblemen during the Reaper invasion of the city.

Sometimes I am convinced that Ion Hazzikostas, World of Warcraft's Game Director, says things just to see our heads explode.

With the opening of Diablo's patch 2.6.9 PTR, we're looking at the beginning of the end for Season 20 — and the beginning of Season 21 and its new theme, Trials of the Tempests.

Warcraft 3: Reforged did not work out the way Blizzard had wanted.

Playtest content in Dungeons and Dragons — or Unearthed Arcana — is a lot of fun because it provides new options for everybody to explore and gives you a peek into what's coming out for D&D before it gets a book release.

Update: The game is over, but you can catch the replay on Twitch and it will be up on Soundcloud for podcast listeners soon.

I own Diablo 3 on the Playstation 4, the Xbox One, and PC.
