After an exhausting change of households earlier in the month — who knew so many boxes of books and board games could exist in a world with so many stairs to carry them up?

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

Unless you’re not celebrating anything today, then I hope you have a great Monday.

By the time you’re reading this hopefully you’re several presents deep and gotten just what you were hoping for — and maybe some things you didn’t know you needed. I also hope that you’ve eaten far too many cookies, drank too much eggnog or eggnog-flavored coffee, and had an otherwise relaxing wonderful morning.

While I pour myself another tasty holiday spirit, it’s time for — The Queue!

It’s the holidays, but it really doesn’t feel like the holidays.

Join us as we discuss the newly released 2024 content roadmaps for WoW and WoW Classic from Blizzard.

Diablo 4 Season 2 is well underway, but you still have plenty of time to complete the Season Journey.

Even if you don’t practice the Christian religion, the yule period is a frequent time for gift exchanges, from friends, family, and sometimes even from yourself to yourself.

World of Warcraft's annual Feast of Winter Veil holiday event began on December 16, 2023 and runs through January 2, 2024.

It’s surprising to me how little I’ve talked about Phantom Liberty on the site considering the sheer amount of discussion of Cyberpunk 2077 I’ve engaged in since late 2020.

It was pretty wild when the World of Warcraft developer team managed to plan out and execute the ambitious 2023 roadmap.

The 2024 World of Warcraft development roadmap was released yesterday for Retail and for Classic and I love how forthcoming the development team has gotten in the past year with these and other updates. That said, I want to talk about something more important: the term “roadmap.”

We all pretty much know what a roadmap is, but speaking as someone of an advanced age they used to be ubiquitous and necessary just for normal everyday driving in your neighborhood. But in this era of in-car navigation and GPS applications on your phones they’re kind of a relic from a bygone time. While not completely obsolete I’m certain that the number sold annually has plummeted dramatically in the past twenty years. Pretty soon a “roadmap” will only exist as a curiosity, and like the Save File icon the term will be a reference to something that’s no longer around.

Well enough of that, let me navigate out of this intro and answer some questions!
