Do you ever read a word so many times that it ceases to look like a real word? Lately, for me, that’s been “Void.” We’ve been combating the forces of the Void for years now. We fought a Voidlord. We’ve visited their home turf in Voidstorm. We’ve empowered Voidforges to get Voidshards we can make into a Voidcore, and then there’s the other Voidcore that’s a bonus roll. We’ve got Void Invasions, Void Assaults, and Void Rituals in ritual sites. Now we’re off for a Void Showdown on other planets.

I guess if there’s one thing you can say for the Void, it’s got consistent branding.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and the answers, like your Voidwalker used to complain, are void where prohibited.

The latest World of Warcraft patch is now live: WoW patch 12.0.7 launched on June 16, 2026.

One of the discussions around the current state of affairs in World of Warcraft centers around repair costs -- namely, how expensive they're getting.

The cap on upgrade crests has been removed from Midnight Season 1, earlier than we expected.

If you played WoW during early 2026's Legion Remix, you may remember that one of the many features of that particular remix was Heroic World Tier.

On the Tavern Watch Podcast, we don't like to just talk about tabletop RPGs: we like to play them, too.

In Tavern Watch's finale of our three-part run of See You Space Cowboy, our tenacious bounty hunters have tracked the NFTHound and his remaining cronies to an unmarked warehouse, full of cheaply-paid goons and a bunch of impressionable youth that the villain is trying to sway to the side of his sleazy world of electronic currency and extremely expensive digital pictures of ugly apes.

One of the longstanding traditions in the Diablo franchise has been the Secret Cow Level -- or, to use its proper name in Diablo 2, the Moo Moo Farm.
