Why do (or don’t) you play tabletop RPGs?
One of the reasons I can't quit tabletop role-playing games, even with all the video games I play, is because I can't get past the human factor that occurs in said tabletop games.
What mechanic or gameplay element makes a game less attractive to you?
I have played a mountain of video games, especially role playing games like the Baldur's Gate series -- the old-school, isometric style of gameplay where the map is static and combat is turn based.
How many games is too many games?
Have you ever encountered the term Tsundoku?
What makes you prefer single-player over multiplayer, or vice versa?
Right now, the two games battling for supremacy atop my personal heap of video games I'm trying to play are Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3, while I've sort of taken a break from World of Warcraft for a while (although that gets harder every passing day).
What do you wish your favorite games stole from each other?
I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3 and Diablo 4 and, man, if you'd told me around 25 years ago that the two biggest games of 2023 would be a Baldur's Gate game and a Diablo game, I probably would have actually believe you -- which isn't something that could be said of most series.
What WoW zone do you always make sure to level a new character through, no matter what?
I've fallen back into World of Warcraft Classic thanks to the announcement of Hardcore realms coming on August 24, but instead of rolling a character on the PTR to give Hardcore a try, I decided to roll another Night Elf Druid and start from scratch.
How do you keep track of all of WoW’s unique bosses and encounters?
Dragonflight is World of Warcraft's ninth expansion, and later this year will be the 19th year since the game released.
What would it take for you to join up with the Old Gods?
The Old Gods appear all throughout World of Warcraft. They've been some of the most memorable bosses and have twisted the very landscape around them to be more in line with their vision for the world, and it seems like no matter what, they always have legions of devoted followers.
If Demon Hunters got a third spec, what do you think it should be?
As you're likely aware by now, the Evoker class in World of Warcraft got a third spec, Augmentation, in Dragonflight patch 10.1.5 — leaving Demon Hunters behind as the only class in the game with no more than two specs, despite having been added years earlier.
How is the first season of Diablo 4 treating you?
The Season of the Malignant is well underway in Diablo 4, and with lots of folks trying out new classes -- as well as the much-discussed Patch 1.1.0 hitting right beforehand -- it seems like a fine time to ask: How the season is treating you?
