This weekend I bring you a remake of a popular Sonic title (with the edgiest hedgehog, Shadow), an MMO turned co-op title, an alternate timeline to Lord of the Rings, and a spy thriller deck-building title!

Yes, that’s it exactly, we are working, working very hard to accomplish things and definitely not sitting here watching a countdown to the next Dragon Age game. Nope, not me. I am way more responsible than that.

So let’s talk about Warcraft and its many microtransaction-related follies of the past day. This is the Queue.

Almost 10 years ago we rolled out episode 1 of the Blizzard Watch podcast when we launched the site and here we are now with our 500th recording.

The World of Warcraft 20th Anniversary Event is now in full swing, with a whole slew of new rewards for you to be working towards.

Diablo 4 added a new feature in Season 4 that has since become a core part of the game, but it's easy to miss if you're not informed about its importance: I'm talking about Tempering, the ability to ask your friendly local Blacksmith to add extra affixes to your gear.

While we've been admiring the Startouched Furline (12-month subscription mount) and the Coldflame Tempest (anniversary mount), Blizzard has rolled out another shiny new mount in World of Warcraft (retail): the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur.

Where can I find a Fauxhawk like that, I want Karlach’s hair.

The War Within patch 11.0.5 rolled out this week, and while I've been enjoying the anniversary the launch has been a bit rocky.

Diablo 3 Season 32 brought back the Ethereal Memories theme, empowering players with powerful weapons crafted initially to honor the launch of Diablo 2 Resurrected.

Tomorrow sees the release of Slay the Princess — Pristine Cut, an updated version of the game (included for free if you already own it!) that expands the original with both “new” princesses and more fleshed-out paths for other princesses. It will also be releasing on consoles for the first time, now available on Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox. This was my “Game of the Year” for 2023 and I’m super-excited to have a chance to Slay — or Save — the Princess again.

It’s kind of hard to really describe the game without getting into spoilers but if you’re a fan of spooky games that tend to be on the psychological side then Slay the Princess is most likely right up your alley. There are numerous choices you can make that can radically alter the game, and once you finish you’ll want to play it again (and again) to see what other fates there are to experience.

While we spend hours agonizing over whether we should bring the knife down with us to the basement, let’s answer some questions!
