The Season of the Malignant is well underway in Diablo 4, and with lots of folks trying out new classes -- as well as the much-discussed Patch 1.1.0 hitting right beforehand -- it seems like a fine time to ask: How the season is treating you?

Happy Friday, Watchers!

One of the most interesting new features in Diablo 4 is Strongholds, areas overrun with enemies that you can conquer to discover new dungeons, towns, waypoints or just areas slightly less overrun with monsters.

I mean I am definitely here, but this feels early… And if I’m here, where’s Liz?

These time streams are all sorts of messed up!

While I try to sort that out, it’s time for — The Queue!

Join us as we discuss how WoW’s faction conflict could be replaced with more interesting, less divisive storytelling mechanics, the WoW lore contribution of the new Hearthstone Titans expansion coming out in August, and our impressions of Diablo 4’s Season 1.

You may not think much about using emotes in a video game, but they play a surprisingly big role in Diablo 4.

World of Warcraft's latest patch, 10.1.5, followed a tradition now dating back to Legion by introducing a "mega-dungeon" to the game.

Diablo 4 Season 2 continues but we're already looking forward to next year's expansion Vessel of Hatred as it continues the story of our characters similar to how Reaper of Souls added an entire Act to Diablo 3.

Just listening to music and writing the Queue, y’all. How’re you all doing?

Join us this week as we tinfoil hat our way through an exploration of not only why the Titans in World of Warcraft chose our particular troubled timeline to tinker with, but what other tideways could be out there.
