We're right around the corner from World of Warcraft's patch 6.1, which Blizzard just announced will launch next week. And with patch day right around the corner, there's only one question to ask: what are you most looking forward to in this patch?

Tis the season for holiday cheer: in World of Warcraft, we've just jumped from Love Is in the Air directly to the Lunar Festival. Combine that with Blackrock Foundry LFR opening this week, and players will find no shortage of tasks for their virtual to-do lists.

All of Blizzard Entertainment's current IPs are, at their heart, multiplayer games.

Blackrock Foundry normal and heroic modes have been live since early this month, and mythic opened just this week — so now that many players have had a chance to jump in, let's talk about our raiding success (or lack thereof).

Season 2 has arrived in Diablo 3, which means it's time to roll a brand-new character and get to leveling so you can climb the seasonal leaderboards. If you've been away from the game for a while, seasons are designed to lure you back in, offering a fresh start and a chance to earn for season-specific loot and achievements. Are the new toys of season 2 enough to get you back into the game?

Sure, Love Is in the Air in WoW right now, but it's almost Valentine's Day in the non-virtual world, too. That means flowers, chocolate, and, of course, Valentine's Day wishes. Our favorite Valentines, however, are unapologetically geek and gaming-themed.

It's official: Twitter is coming to the World of Warcraft in patch 6.1. But will we all be using it? After a decade of using World of Warcraft completely Twitter free... we've got to wonder if we really need social media seeping into our favored form of escapism.

I really need a plush Pepe in my life, I've decided.

Blizzard has put out a number of fan-favorite titles over the years, particularly in the Diablo, StarCraft, and Warcraft universes — though most of you are probably here, reading this, because of a fondness for World of Warcraft. But there's more to Blizzard than just one game, or even the few franchises we've mentioned here.

I admit: I'm a Darkmoon Faire slacker. I'm terrible about forgetting when it's in town and it often seems to be something I brush off and say I'll do next month. But what about you?
