It's a busy week in Blizzard games — and in games in general.

Happy Friday, Watchers, and welcome to our pre-expansion edition of "what to play this weekend." Not all of us dove directly into World of Warcraft: The War Within when early access opened.

A new expansion means a new set of Pet Battle Master Trainers and a whole new set of battle pet achievements, and The War Within's slate includes Battle on Khaz Algar, Khaz Algar Safari, and a new set of Family Familiar achievements.

Rawr!

It’s almost a little rude Liz, bears say other things than rar and rawr. Like Fozzie, he tells jokes!

For example, what do you call a cow that just gave birth?

Decalfinnated!

While I give you a moment to recover from your side-splitting laughter, it’s time for — The Queue!

Join us as we discuss the launch of The War Within early access, the new Alleria animated short, the end of our beloved WoW: Remix (for now), the mercenaries coming to Diablo 4, and the release date of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Every new season of Hearthstone Battlegrounds brings us a ton of new hero skins, and the beach-themed season 8 is no exception -- but as much as we applaud the imagination, some of these skins are a little bit unbelievable.

By the time you read this, people will have already started leveling in The War Within, there will probably be multiple people at level 80 already.

Now that early access for The War Within has launched, you doubtless want to get to Khaz Algar as quickly as you can.

World of Warcraft's latest chapter, The War Within, had our attention from the announcement, but not all of that attention was positive -- for the first time, Epic Edition purchases come with an early access period to the live expansion a few days prior to the expansion release.

It's official!
