This week, we discuss the 10.0.5 patch on the WoW PTR that includes the new Trading Post as an alternate way of earning cosmetics (and more!), our take on how the new crafting system is playing out since launch, and a deep dive into the highlights and challenges of the still in-progress Race to World First.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the quests I undertake while playing World of Warcraft, and how my character would feel and how they would act in those situations.

So I’m kind of watching Superfuse, an upcoming ARPG that kind of feels like a fusion of Strikeforce: Morituri, Bioshock and Diablo 2, and so far I’m pretty interested in the game. It’s got a kind of dystopia with superpowers feel and you can customize your character’s powers with things called fuses that drop as you mow your way through waves of enemies which is somewhat reminiscent of plasmids, but the gameplay is very much an over the top ARPG gorefest that reminds me of games like Darksiders Genesis or the various Warhammer games.

It’s coming to early access in January and I’ll be trying to get in so I’ll report back to y’all when I get a chance to play it. The videos I’ve watched about it so far seem promising, but I always prefer to get to play a game first before I gush too hard about it.

Anyway, that’s something I though some of you — the Diablo liking folks — might find interesting. Now, let’s do that thing where we chat about stuff.

I have run a few Mythic+, and I've collected a chunk of Valor, which can be used to upgrade gear in Dragonflight.

It's going to be a busy 2023 for World of Warcraft, with six content patches rolling out through the year.

The World of Warcraft Dragonflight team is coming out swinging in 2023 with an ambitious plan for six patches.

The World of Warcraft development team today unveiled their plans for Dragonflight during 2023 and it is quite ambitious: six content patches, two more seasons of Mythic+ and PVP, two raids, a megadungeon, new heritage armor quest chains, and not one but two updates to holidays.

Yes, folks, it’s that time of year — the time of year when we get our most site traffic ever, as confused and windowless souls seek an answer to, “blizard watch right now?”

…Okay, that may not be entirely true, but it IS the fun time of year when our site name becomes a little more confusing for the world. But that’s neither here nor there. What IS here and there is this:
