So in my gaming life, I’m choosing between Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, where I run around snowy Norway, and World of Warcraft, where I run around frigid Icecrown. In real life, it’s -15c outside, which is 7 degrees F. So basically everything is cold whether it’s in real life of in my gaming and that’s why I’m transmog farming in Firelands even though I’ve got literally nothing left to collect in there.

Anything to feel warm is what I’m saying.

It’s the Queue. Couldn’t the undead invade somewhere nice for once?

The Shadowlands pre-expansion event, Death Rising, is now live, complete with a new World Boss: Nathanos Blightcaller.

So, now that we've had a bit of time with the pre-expansion event bridging Battle for Azeroth with Shadowlands, what do we think?

Let's be real -- after the two weeks of the pre-patch Scourge event, when we hit Shadowlands on November 23, we'll be champing at the bit to get into the new content.

The Shadowlands pre-patch has brought us so many new looks for our beloved characters.

The current Death's Rising event that serves as a bridge between Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands has a lot going on.

So far, I’ve run around killing a bunch of stuff that was already dead. Just like old times.

This is the Queue. Since it’s Wednesday and the EU should have been in the new content for several hours by the time this goes live, I’m assuming any content that’s a World Quest isn’t spoiler territory at this point. Just as a head’s up, I mention a specific character and his death in today’s Queue.

Yes, I saw the Warrior buffs. Yes, I like them. Yes, I think Fury got more than Arms, and Arms needs some work — not necessarily more damage, but more something. A new ability that’s as cool and fun to use as Rampage would be nice. Rampage feels very Fury — it’s like an explosion of attacks, your Warrior just goes berserk and starts swinging wildly. Arms could use an attack that feels like the Warrior is just dismantling someone with a precise chain of strikes. That’s just my opinion, anyway.

Let’s Queue this. Yes, it’s a dad joke. I have cats.

This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez explore how lore can inform your transmog choices, whether Death Knights have warm skin, and the viability of Dragons as a playable race.

If you work closely with an IT department, you've probably been hearing a lot about ransomware lately.

Ah, to be the prince of hell, casually battling my way toward the surface with a magic gun and the favor of the gods.

This is The Queue, where we have a whole lot going on so just be chill for a sec while we answer some questions, ok man?
