Castle Nathria just opened for raiding and we've already got good news for players looking to get their hands on their legendary effects from it -- they seem to be a guaranteed drop.

I knew I hadn’t done a ton of PVP toward the end of BFA — but I didn’t realize I’d done so few that I’d completely missed the updated Deepwind Gorge map. It looks absolutely gorgeous, but I’m a little torn on it shifting to an Arathi Basin style BG. That’s not to say I loved the old style, though. I just kinda miss having a bit more variety in my BG types. (I also miss Strand of the Ancients, though, and I think that’s not a widely held opinion.)

Anyhow, enough about me not knowing things I should know. Let’s Queue.

Is there any joy quite like when you uncover an in-game secret?

Okay, seriously, I love this little squirrel.

A brand-new expansion, and with it, a brand-new opportunity for other players to ruin your day!

With Naxx cleared and the Scourge Invasion ending by December 31, that's it for WoW Classic and new content.

In between leveling various characters in Shadowlands, I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, my second favorite AC game (and a close close second at that) wherein I do things like conquer parts of England and also yell at squirrels. Well, I get into flyting contests with squirrels, which is a kind of Viking argument where we take turns insulting each other in rhyme. This is me as Odin up against Ratatosk the Squirrel god.

Yes, this really happens.

I want more rap battles with squirrels in WoW, I think. Considering that one of my favorite NPC’s this expansion is a squirrel, or at least a ghost that now looks like one, I feel like this should be doable.

This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez explore the lore implications for future patches in the Shadowlands expansion, the possible connection between the Ethereals and the brokers in Oribos, and the Indiana Jones/Babylon 5 references discovered in the game.

There's a case to be made that Castle Nathria isn't launching all that early.

For some players, getting to 60 was the most important part of Shadowlands, but by now they've achieved that and they're focusing on other things.
