Hearthstone Mercenaries arrives in two weeks, and while we now have more information about what the game mode is going to be about, there's still some lingering questions about the monetization model for this ostensibly free-to-play mode.

Let's explore the streets of this peaceful Italian town before we blow each other up in them.

A long time ago, in another life -- well, sort of, it was back before 2015 so it feels like another life -- I wrote a post entitled The danger of assuming personal experience is universal, and I would have used that headline again except it's a bit of a mouthful and it feels detached.

…planets.

Surprising no one, I went back to No Man’s Sky for the Frontiers update. I like it in theory, especially the builds menus, but in practice I really wish I could become the Overseer for more than one Settlement at a time. I get that it’s probably a tech limitation more than a gameplay philosophy restriction, but I’d much rather have Preston Garvey constantly hassling me to go open new ones than have to resign my successful settlement on a garbage planet in order to manage a new one on a different garbage planet.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions, and we hopefully give the right answer, because if not the Sentinels will probably attack again.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is the latest adventure for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition to be published by Wizards of the Coast, and if you're a fan of tales set in a faerie realm then this one is for you.

One thing is clear -- a shared stash is crucial for a Diablo game, and Diablo 4 needs to have one.

First off, if you're coming to Diablo 2: Resurrected from Diablo 3, you may be a little confused about the Identify mechanic.

On Thursday Planet Zoo announced that their latest expansion pack featuring North American animals will be arriving on October 4th, and front and center in the announcement was the beaver.

Ahead of the Curve!

My guild finally got our first Sylvanas kill! If you’ve been keeping score at home, that’s three Mythic bosses before a full Heroic clear. Difficulty curves are weird.

For some reason, she decided that she’d much rather be a Banshee at the end rather than change back into her more Elvish form. So rather than an unconscious body — we got this Banshee just staring ominously at us while we looted her giant treasure chest.

I really enjoyed this fight. It was super fun to tank since there was almost always something that I needed to be doing. I even liked the chains phase — I think it helped the fight to feel big and epic in a way that the Spine of Deathwing fight tried to be, but didn’t quite nail. I don’t doubt that there’s a parallel dimension where Blizzard split up the chains and final platform phase of Sylvanas into two distinct fights, and I think we would’ve been poorer for it.

We even recovered from my co-tank disconnecting in the middle of the final phase to clinch our victory. So I’m feeling like an extra invincible bear right now.

While I try and remember I am mortal, it’s time for — the Queue!

During this weekend's D&D Celebration, the festivities ended with a Future of D&D panel -- a panel hosted by Elle Osili-Wood, who spoke to Chris Perkins, Liz Schuh, Ray Winninger, and Jeremy Crawford about what you'd expect in a Future of D&D panel: the distant past of the Precambrian period and how it set the stage for the development of our modern ecosystem.
