I think I still love World of Warcraft because I love the way Azeroth looks.

I’m not sure there’s ever a great time to come down with a chest cold and fever, but the week after you’ve had surgery, so coughing is excruciating and even kind of dangerous, is a particularly bad one. Bonus points if it’s the week before holiday break, and you still need to make sure Santa has everything stowed on his sleigh!

This is The Queue, the daily column where you ask us questions, and… yes, this auth key is still valid, please just let me answer these. Pass the Dayquil.

Hark how the bells deck the halls for (supposedly) the best time of the year.

Over the weekend I had some time to go and do a quick tour around raids that still have mounts I need from their bosses. Unsurprisingly, I still don’t have Invincible. It’s not like I’m trying super duper hard to get it — but I have been trying!

It’s gotten bad enough that I’ve been saying some unkind words to the holders of those mounts! If you think what I said to Arthas is bad, you should see what I said to Gul’dan!

While I go wash my mouth out with soap, it’s time for — The Queue!

The Game Awards were last week and while they were their standard celebration of the year's best video games and creators (congratulations again to Baldur's Gate 3 on winning Game of the Year), there was a lot of criticism afterwards.

Hello my patient friends! There were not many questions today, so I’m working with what I’ve got as an excuse to talk about transmog and Jurassic Park. Let’s go!

Join us as we discuss the roll out of, deep breath, Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 6, Overwatch 2 Season 8 with Mauga, Diablo 4’s Abattoir of Zir, Diablo 3’s Season 30 PTR, and WoW Dragonflight’s Amirdrassil LFR Wing 4 next week as well as Warcraft Rumble Season 2.

It's been a big week for gaming, with The Game Awards airing Thursday night (congratulations to Baldur's Gate 3 on winning Game of the Year) and with Day of the Devs and Wholesome Games showing off games on Wednesday.

Warcraft Rumble, Blizzard's latest foray into mobile gaming, features its own unique leveling system with dozens of Minis to level up individually.

I gotta tell you, if you happen to have been born on the 30th anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day? People will think it’s the height of hilarity to use that line from FDR’s speech to describe it. I heard that line so many times growing up it’s practically engraved on my brain.

Anyway, it’s my Birthday so expect a Queue where I go off in random directions. Yes, I know that’s pretty much every Queue I write.

That header was made by Rades, and I think about him frequently whenever I see it.
