World of Warcraft's current expansion The War Within has been out since August 26 (with early access beginning on August 22), and due to the published 2024 roadmap we already know that the first post-release update will be patch 11.0.5.

This sounds like the title of a Beatles album.

Anyway, the Darkmoon Faire is in town, and if you aren’t aware, you can talk to one of the helpful Darkmoon Faire Mystic Mages to get teleported directly to the Faire grounds in either Elwynn Forest or Mulgore, depending on your faction, for the absolutely outrageous price of twenty-five copper.

In the meantime, let’s do the Queue thing again!

Now that crafted gear in World of Warcraft can potentially keep up with Mythic and even high-level PVP loot, professions are once again relevant beyond their value for achievements, transmogs, and novelty items.

In an unusual turn of events, today's World of Warcraft maintenance is scheduled to be its typical one-hour downtime.

There's a peculiar note in the new Diablo 4 patch notes that says A new key-binding has been added to change from run to walk.

While previous Diablo games have typically had a single expansion a year or two after the initial launch of the game, Diablo 4 promises annual expansions, the first of which is Vessel of Hatred.

Diablo 4's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, was due to launch today, October 7, at 4pm pacific alongside Season 6, but Adam Fletcher (otherwise known as PezRadar, Diablo's Global Director of Community) says the launch is delayed due to a "small technical issue." Frankly, it wouldn't be a Diablo 4 launch without some kind of technical problem, but we seem to be in for a fairly long downtime tonight.

Long-time Diablo fans probably remember Runewords from Diablo 2, in which you collected Runes to socket into your gear and combine to create Runewords, which were similar to affixes on Diablo 4 Legendary gear.

The next Diablo 4 expansion is Vessel of Hatred, where we'll journey to Torajan Jungles (known to the locals as Nahantu) chasing after Neyrelle in a continuation of the game's story.

We’re into October and I’ve had many many pumpkin spiced beverages now. I can’t believe there was a time in my life when I stuck up my nose at them and refused to indulge. They’re so great!

Pumpkin makes everything around fall so much better! Pumpkin pie? Pumpkin spiced treats? Those tiny pumpkin candies that are like candy corn but pumpkin-shaped? All super delicious! Somehow even pumpkin-shaped Reese’s Peanut Butter cups taste better!

It’s very rude of the headless horseman to just wear a pumpkin as a hat, that pumpkin could’ve been pie!

While I try and add pumpkin to more things, it’s time for — The Queue!
