Last week Elden Ring released its first expansion Shadow of the Erdtree to glowing reviews -- although there are apparently some framerate issues on PC that hopefully will be addressed quickly.

The original Pink Mercy skin raised 12.7 million dollars, so BCRF is teaming up with Overwatch 2 to try to capture lightning in a bottle to fund breast cancer research once again.

I’m not sure what it is about summer that always makes me want to fire up Pokemon Go again. It’s not like I enjoy spending time out there — I’m firmly a cool, crisp autumn girly. Part of it is that I’m looking for something for my veal-calf-like children to do, and Pokemon Go is basically a cheat code for fun little outings in the nearest half mile or so. Libraries, parks, even silly little statues outside restaurants are all charted out for me. The other part is that I’m always looking for iced coffee, and thanks to a marketing tie-in, every single Starbucks is marked as a Pokestop. Sometimes capitalism is good, actually? Mm, let me think on that one for a sec.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we provide the answers, just let me catch this Ekans first. Darn. Darn. …Darn.

While writing our less-than-serious guide to choosing a character for WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria, I went back and forth over the Demon Hunter entry a lot.

In a twist, part of Cataclysm Classic Phase 3 launched early, on September 17, 2024 while the rest of the phase's launch happens over time on October 29 and November 7.  Originally, Phase 3 was scheduled to arrive in October 2024 and we haven't seen a Classic phase release earlier than intended before, so a part of the phase being moved up is a bit surprising.

Now that we're at the end of Dragonflight, a transmog fancier's thoughts naturally turn to fancies of obtaining tier sets from earlier in the expansion.

Today is the day, the final game of the Stanley Cup playoffs. It’s been a grueling postseason to get to this point, but the Edmonton Oilers have the chance to win it all and bring the Cup home to Canada for the first time in 30 years.

We’re all a little excited around the city, to say the least. There have been free concerts downtown, and I’m sure a record number of people calling in sick to work so that they can watch the game. Not only because we like it when our team wins, but because if they win tonight they’ll pull off a reverse sweep in the finals. Winning their 4/7 games after the Florida Panthers had already gotten three wins. Each game was do-or-die, and somehow they managed to get their stuff together and bring us to game 7. If the Oilers win tonight, they’ll be only the second team to win the Stanley Cup in a reverse sweep — the first was the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942, 82 years ago!

It’s going to be a wild night!

I guess I can talk about video games until then though, it’s time for — The Queue!

It's a big, open world out there.

After all the excitement of Summer Game Fest and Steam NextFest the last couple weeks it's nice to have a weekend where you can relax and catch up on games.

It’s time for the Midsummer Fire Festival in World of Warcraft and your Dragonriding Skyriding mount is ready to enjoy the festivities with their own special Midsummer Fire Festival Armor.
