Tactics? Ha! Everyone’s got them. The Jinyu contemplate things like it’s some kind of staring contest. The Shado-Pan meditate before battle like they’re heading out for tea time. Me? I dance through the chaos, and the chaos dances for me.

The key to ‘tactics’ is this: be what they don’t expect. When they guard high, strike low! When they chase you, lead them off a cliff! When they think they’ve won, you’re already three steps ahead, stealing their luckydos and trading ’em to the grummles for a rampaging yak!

Sometimes a clever trick beats a thousand blades. Sometimes a banana peel wins a war.

This week our writer Nick Marino joined the lineup to talk about WoW Classic -- several iterations of it.

We've seen a staggered release of content throughout The War Within patch 11.1.5, the last bit of which is now live this week with the Dastardly Duos event.

This week the Epic Games Store is giving away two games for free again: the stellar and innovative Deathloop, and a cute little adventure game, Ogu and the Secret Forest.

It’s the Queue and while I regress down the Fallout 4 construction vortex, let’s talk about some stuff you mentioned.

On day one of Dastardly Duos going live in patch 11.1.5 -- finally -- a lot of players were finding that, in addition to the usual methods of maximizing your score against these deep cut bosses, there was another way to make the event even more fun: legendaries.

N'Zoth sure has done a number on Stormwind, hasn't he?

It's time for Mimirons' Faceoff, a Hearthstone Tavern Brawl where two versions of Mimiron face off (see what I did there?) to destroy the their double.

The idea of the summer beach read and the song of the summer is an established one in pop culture, so we figured -- why not summer gaming picks?

My health is a loss: I’m just trying to hang on to my sanity, so it’s all mana potions for mental energy over here. It’s a survival strategy (and it’s usually a Red Bull). Mm, delicious, refreshing energy.

But now that we are all energized, let’s Queue.
