While Diablo 4 is the game we've all been waiting for since its announcement at BlizzCon 2019, it's fair to say that Diablo 2 is the game that truly put the Diablo franchise on the map.

I’ve spent much of the past two weekends playing Diablo 4. (Spoiler: I really enjoy it.) But this weekend there’s no Diablo 4 to be seen, and I’m not quite sure what to do with myself. I suppose I’ll have to continue working through patch 10.0.7, finish my Hearthstone battle pass, and perhaps keep reading up on Diablo lore as I ponder where D4 might go after Act 1. (Hopefully somewhere.)

But I suppose I can answer some questions, too. Let’s Queue.

Join us as we discuss our experiences playing through the delightful new Zskera Vaults zone in WoW’s patch 10.0.7, our thoughts on the new Turbulent Timeways event which offers six weeks of Timewalking challenges with Heroic level rewards, and our additional impressions of Diablo 4 after participating in the open beta weekend.

Diablo 4 releases in just a few months, and the Open Beta weekends gave the players a small look at what they're in for.

I think it's fair to say that Diablo 2 defined the Action Role Playing Game genre  in a way no other game in that genre can claim.

The next Hearthstone expansion will be Festival of Legends, and it promises to turn things up to eleven!

I mean, not all ladybugs are great — the Mexican Bean Beetle, for example, is kind of a hazard to agriculture cause it’s herbivorous and eats all the crops — but in general, ladybugs/ladybirds/ladybird beetles are a friend to humanity and cute as a button on top of it.

I suppose I should admit that the part where they catch aphids and lay their eggs inside them is less awww, so adorable and more I have torn nature’s mask and found it woven of horrors, but I’m sure they’re probably grossed out by us too sometimes.

The past weeks have been devilishly entertaining as Blizzard rolled out major portions of the long-expected Diablo 4 for public feedback.

Diablo's world of Sanctuary is a grim, unfriendly place full of wolves (also werewolves), demons, cultists, undead and the occasional blizzard to watch out for.

After the Diablo 4 early access and open beta weekends, I keep thinking about the way that the action RPG juggernaut has translated open world gameplay into its isometric oeuvre and I realized that the game has a very similar feeling to games like the original Fallout or its modern incarnations.
