Rawr!

Still a bear over here. Amazingly that hasn’t changed in the few days since we last saw each other. Look if Warcraft wanted me to be something else than they shouldn’t have made bear an option. Laying waste to my enemies with the raw power of 600 pounds of bear fury just is so much better than any of the other options. Warlocks and Hunters don’t even do most of their own fighting! They’re just delivery vectors for their pets.

Bear wins!

While I put another best class trophy up on my mantle, it’s time for — The Queue!

As is traditional in World of Warcraft, the pre-patch prior to The War Within expansion came with a limited-time event with gear and collectibles: Radiant Echoes.

In World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, we got used to accessing our Dragonriding — now Skyriding — talents from an easy-to-spot button on the minimap, where we also found our reputation panes for all of the expansion's factions.

With a new expansion comes some returning favorite bosses, now as tameable pets!

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.
