Discussion

In online games with a multitude of players, one great feature is to meet other people in an open discussion, talk about the game you are playing, and learn from one another.

When we last saw Azshara back in patch 8.3, we had freed her from Dark Inquisitor Xanesh and in payment she gave us Xal'atath as means of defeating N'Zoth.

The subtitle to this post could just be and why is it Arcane because Arcane is one of, if not the, best video game tie-in stories I've ever seen Yes, even better than The Last Guardian, my previous favorite. The Last Guardian is one of the best novels ever set in a game world, which may not be a surprise as it features characters like Medivh and Khadgar and is written by Jeff Grubb, longtime AD&D designer and author of the Azure Bonds tie-in novel, which introduced Dragonbait the Saurial and yes I admit it I loved that book because it made dinosaur people canon in D&D.

It's the dawn of a new year, a time of renewed perspectives and expectations.

Sometimes our games -- the ones we play, that become part of our lives -- can actually get under our skin.

It's a Beholder, isn't it?

It's been a rough year.

The holidays are nearly over, and for gamers that means one thing -- playing all the games we received.

Why do I love Illidan as the bad guy of The Burning Crusade more than almost any other villain in World of Warcraft?

I know that's assuming you picked any up -- I actually didn't, myself, but I have been playing a lot of games this Holiday season.
