When Diablo 4 was announced in 2019, the big consoles were Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and the game was going to support both of them.

I can't pretend I'm surprised that Chris Metzen's Warchief Gaming announced today that they're making a campaign setting for Dungeons and Dragons' 5e ruleset.

In a look behind the curtain, one thing I learned very early on making content — even as far back as actual writing school — is to never lead with a question which could be answered with a simple yes or no, because that’s all you’ll get, and you’ll have to work to get the person you’re questioning to elaborate further with follow-ups. We do this every day with our Discussion Topic. You’ll also see this in action on social media with questions that go viral. It’s never, “did you like Catcher in the Rye,” it’s always, “what was the worst book you had to read in school?” Which, by the way, it was Catcher in the Rye.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we definitely aren’t jerks about answering them.

Forged in the Barrens, the latest expansion for Hearthstone, is coming out next week. Burning Crusade Classic should be launching the beta any day now, and Diablo 2: Resurrection should be starting its technical alpha in the next few weeks if it looks to meet the promised 2021 release.

Diamonds are a Hearthstone player's best friend, so it's a given that Diamond cards would be super cool rewards, isn't it?

Spell Schools are coming to Hearthstone, and based on the card reveals from the Forged in the Barrens set, we can see how this new mechanic could change the game, even before we take our new cards for a spin.

It's official: Diablo 3 Season 23 will start on April 2, just five days after Season 22 ends on March 28. While a rapid turnaround, this falls in line with how the Diablo team has handled longer seasons — like Season 22 — by leaving a very short gap between Seasons. I'd predicted either April 2 or April 9 launch for Season 23, and while I though we'd get the full 12 day break between Seasons, it turned out that Blizzard wants to get the Season to us sooner.

It’s more than just a rock on a stick. It’s a shiny rock on a stick! That’s where the real power comes from.

On a side note, it’s tough to build a purple and crystally themed set of leather armor in World of Warcraft. There’s plenty of purples, but very little crystal stuff out there. Kyrian’s have a set that would work, but then I’d have to go join up with them, and no way am I turning my back on my buddies in Revendreth.

While I keep searching my bags for the perfect gear, it’s time for — The Queue.

As I was reading the card reveals for the upcoming Hearthstone expansion, Forged in the Barrens, I stumbled across this super intriguing background for a new Draenei Priestess called Xyrella: On the Night of Falling Stars, Xyrella had a vision of a shattered Naaru.

There's a solid chance we'll see the first build of Burning Crusade Classic's beta test go live this week, and that's gotten me thinking about what exactly people are going to want to test and learn from it all.
