Now that we've all had a chance to absorb the results of January's Open Gaming License controversy, Wizards of the Coast has released a new round of playtest material for the upcoming One D&D.

If Friday is a state of mind, then it is always Friday and it is never Friday. All week we hope for Friday, and when Friday comes we wait for five o’clock when we can go off to our exciting weekend plans, and then the weekend zooms by and it’s Monday again. That Friday feeling is fleeting, ephemeral, and always out of reach — either in a too distant future or drifting into the past, but never the present.

But for this brief moment in time, it is Friday. Let us enjoy our Friday together for the brief time it lasts. Let’s Queue.

This week we discuss the two announced beta weekends for Diablo 4 coming up in March, the new talent system in Diablo 3 Season 28, and the Diablo Immortal patch that finally adds what the game has been missing all along: fishing.

Looking at my roster of characters in World of Warcraft and Diablo 3, I have almost exclusively chosen to create characters with female-presenting avatars.

Thanks to patch 10.0.5 and the ability to transmog white-quality items, you too can finally look like you're just taking a break from performing with a mariachi band to do some questing on the Dragon Isles.

Without bumming people out with too much real life stuff, the past week has been nightmarishly stressful and I’ve been using Tetris Effect on my Xbox — thanks again, Game Pass — to get through it. I’ve found that it’s surprisingly helpful when I’m panicking about things I can’t possibly change to just zone out and play Tetris for an hour or so. Or more. A lot more, really.

 

Today is the Hatching of the Hippogryphs micro-holiday, a cute little event that only comes around one day a year and thus gets missed by most players.

The Midnight alpha test is now live, and the beta test is starting on November 11.

I’ll be heading out of town for a concert this weekend and, suffice it to say, I’m pretty excited. Frankly, I’m expecting tears at some point or another.

But that’s this weekend and right now is right now. And right now is…

The Queue.
