So you've been persuaded to try Diablo 3 (maybe you read about the basics). You've loaded into the game, and now you're faced with the question of what game mode to play. There are many modes of play in Diablo 3 and some of the modes refer to what content you're playing rather than what difficulty.

Story creation for a brand new character can be one of the most entertaining parts of roleplaying -- deciding what you want to play, and who you want that character to be.

This week’s WoW leveling stream ended on a slightly perturbing note for me — I’d played through Stonetalon Mountains plenty of times on Horde characters, and always enjoyed the zone for its big climactic conclusion and subsequent bout of orc-tossing. But I’d never seen it on Alliance side. And Alliance side is awful. I felt horrible after finishing it, and what you didn’t hear on the stream was another full five minutes or so of exclamations about it. You can catch the leveling stream on Youtube now, if you’re interested. Anyway, on to your questions!

"I really enjoy invasions," writes submitter Gimmlette of Spectacular Death on Llane (US-A).

Will they announce a new Diablo III expansion at gamescom, at PAX, or even at BlizzCon? Are they working on one? What will it be? Will it have a new class and if so, what should it be? (My argument on this week's podcast was that it should be some variation on the Diablo II druid.) But the more I think about a Diablo III expansion, the more I wonder if what we really, ultimately want, is Diablo IV or perhaps even something else entirely set in the Diablo universe.

Come on down to the Blizzard Watch Twitch channel for some Hearthstone action! The Hidden Laboratory is the final wing of Blackrock Mountain adventure, and along with a second crack at Nefarian, we'll go head to head against the Omnotron Defense System, Maloriak, and Atramedes!

I’ve been wanting to discuss our level 100 hunter talents for a while now, but I wasn’t sure what format the post should take. That is, until I saw Scott’s report card for level 100 rogue talents from a couple of weeks ago. I will happily steal his idea. As a pickpocketing rogue, I’m sure he’ll understand. We've had 6 months to play with the level hunter 100 talents and now it's time to see if they live up to the hype.

It's not just Grommash's character we're looking at here -- it's the entire state of the Horde as we know it. Did the Horde need Garrosh Hellscream? Yes, it absolutely did, and now that he's gone, there's a void left behind that could be filled, oddly enough, by his father from another reality. But before you get me wrong here, I don't mean Grommash should fill that villain role. Far from it.

The fourteenth official season of Hearthstone ranked play has arrived!

What can I tell you? I like Diablo III’s barbarian class.
