Watchers, in honor of today’s (U.S.) holiday, we're celebrating another birth announcement from the nation’s capital.

The Lunar Festival is back in World of Warcraft!

In this economy?

I’ve finally gotten around to playing the latest Dragon Age game, and it’s pretty good so far. I’ve made the first big choice (which city to defend from dragon attack) that I regretted about an hour after making it — so that’s a typical BioWare experience. I try really hard not to look up guides and playthroughs for the story beats of these games; I want all of my messiness to be fully earned. That one hurt, though, as I was left with a character I liked being sidelined and devastated by the destruction in their city, and another I didn’t have strong feelings for sticking around all happy-go-lucky. Still, I’ve come too far, and this just gives me the extra layer of reality, as there is no reloading a save in real life.

Still, my Necro mage is having a good time bopping around between planes of existence and trying to flirt with anything that has a pulse.

While I spend too long trying to figure out the path to that chest I can see just on the edge of that ledge over there, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

Roadmap season is officially over for Blizzard games, as this year's 2026 plans for Hearthstone and Diablo both rolled out last week.

Blizzard has come out of the gate strong with the first two Player Housing decor items available for purchase with real money from the in-game shop: an adorable plush lion and wolf.

I don’t believe in witches, but if they fly, they fly.

This is an extra-spooky Friday the 13th edition of The Queue, our daily Q&A where you ask us scary questions and we give you frightening answers. Hopefully. Probably. Look, scaring people is hard.

…

BOO!

This week we have a lot to say about the Overwatch (not two!) yearly overview.

If you like tracking down baddies in games, you're in luck, because the Epic Games Store is giving us a duo of detective games for free this week.

While you're zipping about the Twilight Highlands hunting for rares and completing World Quests for the Midnight pre-patch event, why not spend some time gathering lumber in order to craft decor to add to your Player Housing home's aesthetic?

The butterfly I’m interested in is unfortunately not in a book. If it were in a book I could just check it out at the local library (btw support your local library). But instead it’s a rare drop World of Warcraft mount, which is in every way worse.

Still, we persevere, holiday after holiday and kill after kill. Eventually this butterfly will be mine. Maybe.
