Breakfast Topic: Sometimes I like to be alone
World of Warcraft is by definition a game that demands a certain level of socialization to get certain content - if you want to run dungeons or raid, you're going to need to be able to get along with groups of people. Even LFR or random battlegrounds, you queue alone, but you play with people. So for me, this expansion, I've done a lot more alt leveling than I ever did before, because there are times that I just want to be alone
Breakfast Topic: The community still surprises me
I've met people via World of Warcraft that I consider my friends, even years after we played together. People who I've shared with and had them share with me, because that's the secret of WoW - it's the people. It's always been, and will always be, the people you meet and play with that make the game worth playing - all the content in the world won't make you happy without people to play through it with.

Breakfast Topic: Every new beginning
When I left my progression raiding guild and settled down into my current 'raid when I can get to it' guild, I realized things had changed for me and World of Warcraft. It's not that I love the game any less -- after eleven years I think it's safe to say that WoW and I are officially a thing -- but I just finally lost my taste for what it takes to raid content at the highest level the game offers.

Know Your Lore: Bul-Kathos and Diablo’s Barbarians
The barbarians of Sanctuary are called this by those who do not understand them or their ancient culture, which was a casualty of the schemes of Baal and the actions of Tyrael. In destroying the Worldstone, they destroyed Mount Arreat and with it the very vigil that the barbarians maintained for countless eons.
The Queue: My favorite Diablo legendary
Today’s Queue is brought to you by our very own Megan O’Neill, who asked me a question I wanted to answer. Since this was a right helpful thing for her to have done, I will now do the answering.
Breakfast Topic: Irrational hatreds
I'm always surprised at how some things are almost traditions in World of Warcraft, and the most surprising (to me) is the Mage vs. Warlock hate. Even more so than the Alliance/Horde rivalry and that one's pretty weird, if you think about it -- how deep the divide between players of a video game based entirely on what color the background for their faction is, ultimately.
