I admit it, I still prefer getting gear to drop in a dungeon or raid.

I'm not specifically speaking about World of Warcraft lore here -- it can be any game, from Deckard Cain's last act in Diablo 3 to the fate of Phoibe in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, from Ethan discovering the truth in Resident Evil Village to the final confrontation with Adam Smasher in Cyberpunk 2077.

Of course, I have been playing World of Warcraft since 2004.

I was speaking with a friend who played Warcraft I, II, and III, but never played World of Warcraft, or even read up on any of the lore.

First of all: ignore how you personally feel about Sylvanas Windrunner for a moment.

We're getting ever closer to the launch of Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which was the first time a game's story, characters, and sense of drama came together in such a powerful way that I cried.

I keep thinking about the mounts you can get for the Deluxe Edition of Burning Crusade Classic and how those mounts are basically a cross promotion between WoW and WoW Classic.

I finally did it -- after over four years of putting it off for one reason or another, I collected all the Falcosaur mounts, along with the associated pets and toys you get along the way.

Honestly, the Mythic+ revolution that we saw start in Legion has by and large passed me by.

As I've gotten older -- seriously, so old, ice forms on my north side -- I simply have a hard time devoting the same kind of time to a video game as I used to.
