We’re almost at the end of January 2025 -- no, it really isn’t the 1,432nd of March 2020… sorry Liz P.

The Hearthstone Lunar Blessings Tavern Brawl would like to wish you a very happy Lunar New Year!

Among other additions, Blizzard has introduced AI-controlled bots in Overwatch 2's Quick Play to create a smoother experience for brand-new players.

The Lunar Festival has begun so it’s time for my annual gripe: where the heck are the Elders of Pandaria? The Pandaren literally have spirits of their ancestors as regular residents on the island and yet none of them give us lucky red envelopes. This oversight still bugs me, and seeing that Khaz Algar was getting Elders kinda angered me.

Fortunately they did a fantastic job with the new Elders. They recognized the fact that actual spirit Elders of the three NPC races made no sense and instead turned it into a way of instructing residents of the past — one of the Earthen Archivists was even pretending to be an Elder for immersion. Kudos to the development team for not just mindlessly adding spirit Elders to the zones but finding a way to expand on the holiday. Now if they could just turn their attention to the southern continent …

While I cruise around everywhere but Pandaria collecting Coins of Ancestry for the cool new mount let’s answer some questions!

This week Matt and Joe discuss how history seems to keep repeating itself in Diablo's Sanctuary.

There have been lots of changes to the Mythic+ experience already in The War Within, many of which are responses to direct feedback from prior seasons as Blizzard continues working on smoothing out Mythic+ as a full-fledged endgame pillar.

It's official, the final phase of WoW Classic Season of Discovery, Phase 7, is now live!

The Overwatch Champion Series (OWCS) returns in 2025 with exciting updates designed to enhance the competitive scene and viewing experience.

The Year of the Snake is upon us, and while I do feel bad for people who aren’t all about the reptiles, I tend to enjoy them. It’s funny though, because I’d joined a few snake ID groups on Reddit just for my own backyard. I find most North American venomous snakes are extremely threatening looking — all spikes and glares and triangular heads and rattles. But the thing is, Reddit is international, so I’ve been learning about snakes from all around the world, and while the Russel’s viper and puff adders and cobras are much the same in terms of being clearly somebody to not screw with, I would absolutely be that idiot trying to handle the cute little Australian venomous guys. They call one of them — a cute little smooth stripey guy — the bandy bandy! But he’s crazy venomous!

Both modern WoW and Cataclysm Classic servers are back online after Tuesday maintenance — fortunately most WoW players just had a quick one two one and a half hour maintenance window this morning (after maintenance was extended an extra hour).
