Hearthstone patch 25.0.4 brought about the end of an era (and we're not overselling it): Prince Renathal has been nerfed.

It’s the third day of Christmas, and honestly, what am I going to do with all these French chickens?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we– what do you mean there are more of them coming?

Everyone loves a good holiday party.

Is it a day for boxing? For putting things in boxes? For taking things out of boxes? For thinking outside of the box? Who knows anymore, I just know there’s good deals on things at stores and it’s actually not too cold here anymore.

While I only put on two extra layers to go outside, it’s time for — The Queue!

Echo has defeated Mythic Raszageth after 265 pulls to earn World First in the first raid of Dragonflight. For the third Race to World First in a row, Echo has proven that they're the best raiding guild out there, despite strong competition.

I regret to inform you that as of the time of this writing, Mythic Raszageth has not died… but she is wearing a Santa hat and carrying a candy cane. So let’s go on and celebrate this strange season with our new festive dinobird frenemy… and maybe get a world first second kill so we can get our own stylish Santa hat and candy cane transmog.

But while we wait, we can hang out and talk about dragons, because in Dragonflight it’s all about the dragons. Let’s Queue.

This week, we discuss the 10.0.5 patch on the WoW PTR that includes the new Trading Post as an alternate way of earning cosmetics (and more!), our take on how the new crafting system is playing out since launch, and a deep dive into the highlights and challenges of the still in-progress Race to World First.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the quests I undertake while playing World of Warcraft, and how my character would feel and how they would act in those situations.

So I’m kind of watching Superfuse, an upcoming ARPG that kind of feels like a fusion of Strikeforce: Morituri, Bioshock and Diablo 2, and so far I’m pretty interested in the game. It’s got a kind of dystopia with superpowers feel and you can customize your character’s powers with things called fuses that drop as you mow your way through waves of enemies which is somewhat reminiscent of plasmids, but the gameplay is very much an over the top ARPG gorefest that reminds me of games like Darksiders Genesis or the various Warhammer games.

It’s coming to early access in January and I’ll be trying to get in so I’ll report back to y’all when I get a chance to play it. The videos I’ve watched about it so far seem promising, but I always prefer to get to play a game first before I gush too hard about it.

Anyway, that’s something I though some of you — the Diablo liking folks — might find interesting. Now, let’s do that thing where we chat about stuff.

I have run a few Mythic+, and I've collected a chunk of Valor, which can be used to upgrade gear in Dragonflight.
