There aren't a lot of game franchises with fan bases as dedicated as the Diablo player base was come Diablo 4 launch day in 2023.

My raid ran into the toughest boss last night, the attendance boss, so we called an audible and cleared all of the Glory of the Dream Raider achievements. There was a good batch this time, nothing that was really all on one person to execute flawlessly, and certainly, nothing that involved us getting bounced up into the air and having to collect an orb before it landed. Larodar and the Council both even gave us an extra pet for our trouble!

I will say that I’m a little sad the mount for the achievement isn’t flashier. I guess there’s something to be said for that a giant saber-toothed cat with glowy purple energy coming off of it isn’t flashy, but if it really wanted me to be super excited it should’ve had a pair of wings! I mean that’s what my dream mount would have, so why can’t this one?!

While I dream a little bigger, it’s time for — The Queue!

World of Warcraft Classic Season of Discovery continues to add new things to Classic Azeroth, and there's one new item in particular that every player should acquire: the Cozy Sleeping Bag, which was just added in Phase 2.

I’m not sure what game I’ll get around to buying next.

While big-name tabletop RPGs aiming to compete with Dungeons & Dragons (or at least try to fill a similar niche) garner a lot of attention -- for example, Matt Colville's "tactical heroic cinematic fantasy" MCDM RPG, which raised over $4 million dollars --  there are a lot of cool and innovative games offering unique experiences that are also out there competing for your attention (and pledge of support).

Hell is finally coming to the Xbox Game Pass when Diablo 4 becomes the first Activision Blizzard game to join the service beginning March 28.

Showtime as in “write the Queue” time.

Join us as we discuss the new “no trading/no auction house” mechanic coming to WoW Classic Hardcore, Hearthstone’s 10th anniversary along with its just announced Whizbang’s Workshop expansion, and why all the race/class restrictions should be lifted from WoW.

If you watched the last D&D Direct all the way to the very end, you would have seen a tantalizing hint in amongst the upcoming books for 2023 and 2024 -- Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins couldn't help but mention the return of Vecna, one of the D&D franchise's most iconic villains.

Maybe it's cold Midwest weather that has me thinking about cozy couch games, maybe it's the recent sense that Love is in the Air -- whatever the case, I've recently been musing on how few solid couch co-op games currently exist (at least in mainstream gaming).
