After a couple of seasons off, I’m back in Diablo-land. There have been a couple of system changes since the last time I played. Things are mostly how I remember them, but also some things are different, and I’m not sure how I feel about the new defensive stat allocation. As always, defensive stats feel the least fun to actually chase after — I just wanna blow demons up faster, don’t make me protect myself at the same time!

I’m still not sure how I’m going to build my Spiritborn this time around; that’s a problem for later. I’ve never done the crazy always be evading build, but also I’m not playing with a mouse wheel, and I don’t want to do weird evade cooldown math. My other options seem to be big Gorilla fun times or lots of exploding lightning feathers.

While I try and choose between a giant eagle and a giant gorilla, it’s time for — The Queue!

Welcome to Brindlewood Bay, a peaceful New England village on the sea with picturesque views, cozy bookshops, and quaint B&Bs.

It's a new week and I remain paralyzed by indecision about what to do with my new home in World of Warcraft, but in the meanwhile Diablo 4 announced some big news with a new expansion pack.

Diablo 4 Season 11, Season of Divine Intervention, has started...

Ok the title is a joke, because as expected Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 absolutely cleaned up at the Game Awards last night taking home Game of the Year and eight other trophies. The one trophy it didn’t take home though? Best Audio Design, which went to Battlefield 6. It’s kind of an odd exclusion because E33 won Best Score and Music, so I’m really curious what Battlefield 6 was able to do in their audio that earned them the reward. I mean not curious enough to actually play it, but still.

So while I mentally recover from all the times I saw “2027” in the show, let’s answer some questions starting with a couple about wood!

This week we're still immersed in Player Housing, but just a little bit of the shine has worn off, mostly as we've tried to chop down enough trees to decorate the houses of our dreams.

Player housing has joined the World of Warcraft universe to much fanfare and excitement as people join their communities in developing (and decorating) in-game homes.

Diablo 4 developers told us to watch The Game Awards and we were not disappointed -- their next expansion, Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, continues our (rather expected) fight against Mephisto.

Diablo 4 players finally get the sword-and-board holy warrior they've been hoping for with the newly announced Paladin class.

With the release of player housing, we have been given hundreds of items to design our perfect homes, but certain races seemed to have received the short end of the stick, including Gnomes, who have perhaps the shortest stick of all.
