Right now, a good deal of World of Warcraft's gameplay loop is about Anima.

In advance of BlizzConline, Blizzard has still been hard at work on patch 9.0.5.

My group finally downed Mythic Hungering Destroyer! Don’t ask me how Blackhand got there though. Someone must’ve been messing with some wacky time streams. Who knew that he was the hero that we needed all along?

We wound up using four tanks to kill Destroyer and it ended up trivializing the extra debuff mechanic pretty much, it just took a long time for people to stop running the big deadly laser beams on top of each other.

While we get ready to save the soul of the Sun-King, I take you now to — The Queue.

Brussels sprouts, the dreaded green that kids the world over find yucky.

We all have those spells, don't we?

As things stand right now, while it's certainly quite doable to gather 1000 Anima a week for the Renown and all your Anima needs -- like gear upgrades, improving your Covenant HQ, or just to pick up rare mounts or other cool items -- it can be a trifle of a chore and it often feels like you're running the same errands.

One thing I didn't predict, but should have, was that the economies on high population WoW Classic servers are bad.

So bright that we will all have to wear our Rhinestone Sunglasses next week when we can finally transmog them.

Note: Rhinestone Sunglasses not pictured here because I don’t have any. But you, dear readers, should wear you sunglasses proudly, even when you’re inside.

This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez discuss the news of how class balance will be addressed when The Burning Crusade Classic servers launch, the Diablo 3 patch 2.7.0 Follower changes, and the missing pieces of the Covenant campaigns.

If at all possible, I prefer to play Diablo with a controller.
