In the last two weeks, World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery just launched its third phase and Wrath Classic received the first of two Cataclysm Classic pre-patch events but these two releases are the calm before the storm, so to speak.

Noblegarden has come and (almost) gone again in WoW, which leaves the game with far fewer ducks.

Happy Friday, Watchers!

During BlizzCon 2023, the Hearthstone team shared a brand-new game mode called Battlegrounds Duos, which will allow you to play Battlegrounds as a tag team with another player — and this new game mode is now live!

How definitive are we? Well, that’s up to debate, but I’m pretty sure we’re pretty definitive.

Join us as we discuss the new adorable duck reward from this year’s Noblegarden event, Diablo 4’s first PTR, what we’d like to see in the future for WoW Classic’s Season of Discovery, how Overwatch introduced a new hero but without all the extra stories usually surrounding the launch of a character, and we end on a deep discussion about Pirate Stitches and shark guns.

I've started playing Stardew Valley again thanks to a new patch with a lot of changes.

The second phase of WoW Classic Season of Discovery has come and gone and with the arrival of the spring season (at least in North America), Season of Discovery Phase 3 is now live!

Nightmare Incursions are a zone PVE world event that was added to WoW Classic Season of Discovery in Phase 3.

In case you were unaware that I am as ancient and hoary as a sinister black sword that drinks souls, let me introduce y’all to White Plume Mountain, the module that contains throwaway references to stuff that ended up becoming iconic Dungeons and Dragons villains and items. I mean, it’s heavily implied by the art in this module that Elric’s famous black sword Stormbringer ended up in this mountain under the name Blackrazor.

When I was a wee sprog of around 10, my fighter got his hands on that thing, and let me tell you, it was as bad an idea to let me have a sentient evil soul devouring greatsword as it would be for, say, the Prince of Lordaeron. But man, I can still remember the chant we all came up with for places we wanted to go after we were done inside the volcano of weird giant crabs and evil Efreets. Dragotha Dragotha Dragotha.

This is the Queue. We never actually did get to fight Dragotha.
