Playing World of Warcraft, I am often struck  by how ludicrous it can seem when a piece of gear shows up more often than you'd expect.

Video games provide us a lot -- they act as areas where we discover community over love of a mutual game, they provide us memorable experiences and stories, teach us lessons, and influence our habits.

Blizzard currently has two MMOs -- the venerable World of Warcraft, which has been in operation for 18 years (19 this November, and it's a little terrifying to realize WoW could vote if it were a person) and the more recent mobile MMO, Diablo Immortal. Now, over the years I've come to consider a certain pace of content delivery to be the norm, but in reality many MMOs release content at a much quicker pace than World of Warcraft.

Every time there’s a bug found in a Blizzard games people like to joke about it being a ‘small indie studio’ — but how many people actually play games from small independent studios?

It's no secret that I enjoy the whole 'go back to older content and mess it up hard by myself for transmog gear' aspect of World of Warcraft, because I just do not ever shut up about it.

I am willing to admit that I didn't see it coming when Blizzard announced that Hearthstone Mercenaries was getting shipped off to the internet equivalent of a nice farm upstate named Maintenance Mode.

Everyone has a piece of loot they set their sights on.

Dragonflight's big feature in patch 10.0.5 is the Trading Post, a new monthly system where being subbed and playing the game gives you the opportunity to pick up some cool cosmetic items.

I was in the Deadly Boss Mods Discord server recently, and the channel was talking about bugs and how they are often ‘in the wild’ for multiple versions of an addon before being reported.

Lately I’ve been playing a lot of It Takes Two and it has made me reflect on the types of game mechanics that I really enjoy.
