Since Alex used The Queue to recommend a fantasy novel series, I’ll do so as well.

The Gormenghast series. Three books by Mervyn Peake. If nothing else, try Titus Groan first, see if you like it.

I could recommend more — a lot more, really — but I’m here to answer your questions about Blizzard games, not just recommend books all day. (Mother London by Michael Moorcock, get it.)

 

Spoiler Warning -- this article discusses the Hellfire Citadel raid.

We already knew Blizzard was going to be at Gamescom this year -- but now we know they have something they'd like to tell us about.

There's a lot of Warrior gear in Hellfire Citadel.

Part of it seems to be just general bugginess.

If you've been baffled recently by limits to your ability to purchase a WoW Token, Blizzard has posted with clarifications to those limits.

Here’s my issue with Gul’dan’s plan this time around — I can’t tell what it is.

See, hear me out. He obviously intends to get as many orcs as he can hopped up on that ol’ demon juice, summon as many demons as possible (including his Archimondeness himself) and then to rebuild the Dark Portal and take a jaunt to Azeroth. But then I started paying attention to things he says and does, and well… I don’t think he has a plan.

Okay, so he figures he’ll get the Cipher of Damnation and… destroy the world? As in, the one he’s standing on? So I foil him, and he immediately says it’s just a setback and he’s still totally going to destroy Draenor. Which is where he lives. So is he not planning on rebuilding the Dark Portal and attacking Azeroth at all? Is destroying Draenor his actual plan now? To what end? I get that’s what the Legion wants, but why does Gul’dan want it?

So far it’s starting to feel less like I’m fighting Gul’dan and more like I’m fighting Kefka.

Back in June, we covered a recreation of Elwynn Forest created by Danie Luchau in the Unreal Engine.

A tournament where people don't even try to win their matches?

The folks at Nerdist.com just posted this interview with the Duncan Jones, director of the Warcraft movie, and the cast of the movie.
