All of the characters in Diablo 4 (so far)
When thinking about a Diablo game, it's inevitable that we'll focus on the characters we see. Diablo 3 is dominated in great part by characters like Deckard Cain, Tyrael, Leah, Adria, Belial, Azmodan, and Imperius, as well as Diablo and Malthael, the big two whose villainy drives the plot forward.

The Queue: Tomorrow is my birthday
My birthday is December 7th.
There’s lots of stuff going on in my life right now, I won’t bring it up, but it really brought home to me how fleeting life can be and how you never know what’s going to happen. Treasure the experiences you get, the people you love, the experiences that make your life what it is.
This is the Queue. Let’s get to those questions.

How is Shadowlands going to handle solo farming old content?
One of my favorite things in playing World of Warcraft is what I call transmog farming, even though it isn't always for transmog items -- sometimes I'll go tear my way through Black Temple or Hellfire Citadel just because it's fun for me to blow up old content.
Could Diablo 4 be a more enduring game without Diablo?
Reading this interview with Diablo 4's Game Director Luis Barriga and John Mueller the game's Art Director, I keep thinking about what it all means -- where we're going and what it means for the future of Diablo 4 and the Diablo franchise as a whole.
The Queue: Vulpes Astra
I’ve never played a single game Star Fox appeared in, but I love this song.
It’s the Queue after Thanksgiving, or as we call it up here in Canada, Thursday. I had a very nice day with my wife, and nobody else, and I didn’t eat a huge meal or worry about dealing with people I don’t interact with. I just spent the night with the person I love most and that was pretty great.
