Two Souls-like games release in the same week and you thought I wasn't going to talk about at least one of them?

It’s a big dangerous world out there, but it does look a little bit bigger when you’re encountering it from gnome height. But if we were intimidated by every robot dinosaur and giant ape duo we saw, we would never get out of bed.

But for now, we can take a break between pulls to answer a few (a very few) questions.

Hearthstone's new expansion Into the Emerald Dream was our lead story this week, as the two sides don't seem all that well balanced between good and morally gray, let's say.

In addition to the promised D.R.I.V.E.

Both are technically groups of Dinosaurs.

And yes, I’m listening to Space Age Love Song on repeat.

This week's Epic Games Store free offering is two games, both of which involve a ton of action, a send-up of a popular genre, and a cat protagonist.

WoW Classic Season of Discovery Phase 8 revolves mainly around the Scarlet Enclave, which is both the name of the new raid and a zone players can explore and quest in now that the phase is live.

Hi, it’s Gus Ferrari back again, and we’re rolling out!

I’m a fan of jazz music, but I wouldn’t really consider myself an aficionado — I only recently discovered Bud Powell, for example —  but I really enjoy the vibe that jazz provides as a soundtrack (like in Undermine). Blue Wednesday goes a step further and makes being a jazz artist the central plot point while mixing elements of Visual Novels, Walking Sims and Rhythm Games. It’s a little on the short side, and it’s too easy to miss some important things on the first day of the game while you’re still getting the hang of it but the atmosphere and vibe are fantastic so I heartily recommend it.

While I finalize plans to visit the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City this September, let’s groove to some questions.
