It's Hearthstone's 10th birthday, but you don't have to play Hearthstone to enjoy some neat in-game rewards.

Friday keeps sneaking up on me, leaving me with a worrying pile of things still on my to do list. But it’s Friday, and that means it’s time for a family meeting: let’s talk about what’s been going on this week and, most especially, patch 10.2.6.

Join us as we discuss the idea of Diablo 4 making more cosmetics attainable through in-game activities, the Hearthstone 10th anniversary event in WoW along with all the limited-time shinies that it drops, the confusing dungeon difficulty changes coming to Dragonflight Season 4, the irony of the upcoming launch of WoW Cataclysm Classic, and the on-going mystery around WoW patch 10.2.6.

This week World of Warcraft launched a new in-game event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hearthstone, and it's packed with Hearthstone-themed rewards.

World of Warcraft is getting a mysterious patch 10.2.6, which launches March 19, 2024.

It’s okay to not be good at something you enjoy doing.

Get ready to test just your memory of the names of the Hearthstone minions in the Say My Name Tavern Brawl.

There are a lot of achievements in World of Warcraft, and across all of gaming, a lot of them are really great!

Dragonflight patch 10.2.6 did not arrive this week despite the eight-hour downtime yesterday, which means next week is a prime candidate for its arrival. Which wouldn’t normally be a problem, except this is the list of everything else happening in the video game world next week:

• Hearthstone is releasing their next expansion Whizbang’s Workshop
• Hi-Fi Rush and Rise of the Ronin are arriving on the PS5
• Princess Peach: Showtime! is arriving for the Nintendo Switch
• Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition is releasing for PC
• Alone in the Dark and Dragon’s Dogma 2 are coming out on all next-gen platforms (sorry, Switch owners) and PC
• And for sports fans it’s time for MLB The Show ’24 on all consoles

That’s an insane number of major titles to come out in the same week, especially in March. Perhaps everyone is afraid to release against South Park: Snow Day the following week?

While I ponder whether these game releases are the true March Madness, let’s answer some questions!

Join us this week as we explore an alternate version of Azeroth’s history where Sargeras didn’t betray the Pantheon, but instead became a champion of the Light.
