It's a lightning fast World of Warcraft maintenance this morning, or at least we hope it is.

February may be getting ready to end but Winter sure keeps on coming.

For various hockey-related reasons, I had to wake up before 6 am on Sunday. Then I had to watch a whole hockey game and a little bit of overtime. Then I had to be sad for the rest of the day.

Needless to say, I’m pretty tired now. I drank a lot of coffee today.

While I get ready for a nice big nap, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

A group of strangers gather in a dimly lit bar in the mechanical megalopolis of Striving at the behest of one Tier-99-Professor, who promised them some incredible news.

After a busy few weeks of roadmaps and big reveals, this last week has been a little quieter for news about Blizzard games as we wait for all of those reveals to turn into real, playable games.

We know that the heroes of Azeroth won't be using the magical floating city of Dalaran as a base of operations for our return to Northrend (as it is currently scattered across the coast of the Isle of Dorn), so just where are we going to call home during The Last Titan?

I decided to hasten my original plans and get a Nintendo Switch 2 now rather than wait until May. I’m now the proud owner of this new console, and I’m ready to… delve into my backlog of Switch 1 games.

Until Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave is launched, at least. Though I did get the new Mario Kart, and I’ve heard good things about Donkey Kong Bonanza. We’ll see how it goes.

Welcome to The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we buy things now just to be safe, we change our plans at a moment’s notice, and in the meantime, we answer questions.

There's always a lot of news to discuss, but this week there was specifically a lot of news to discuss for all the very best Diablo games: Diablo 2, Diablo 4, Diablo Immortal, end of list, apparently.

Every February, publishers both accomplished and new take to their favorite crowdfunding platforms to release their newest zines as part of (the event formerly known just as) Zine Quest.

Last week, we got to take a look at the origins (maybe) of Midnight's baddie supreme, Xal'atath, in "Supremacy." This week, we got a look at the past of another important figure in World of Warcraft, and one who's on our side this time: Lady Liadrin, the iconic Blood Elf Paladin, in "All That Is Sacred." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoJgQA4Uhks We also get to see someone new in this animation: High Priest Vandellor, Liadrin's adoptive father who took her in after her parents were slain by Amani trolls, and who first inspired her faith and awe for the light -- in fact, she would eventually follow in his path as High Priestess Liadrin (which you get to see if you're a Blood Elf pursuing your heritage armor, or during the Lorewalking chapter on Elves).
