Pizza is so great, I love pizza.

Is it the perfect food? Possibly. As long as you’re not gluten or lactose-intolerant, that is. I would put it up against any other food in a March Madness-style bracket any day and expect a top-four finish at least. The other things at the top are likely burritos, bread, and French fries. I’m willing to hear arguments about what you think is more deserving of a top slot, but they’d have to be Atticus Finch levels of convincing for me to change anything there in the final brackets.

While I eat another slice, it’s time for — The Queue!

This week we're wrapping up our game of Rebel Scum, a game of anti-fascist space opera that seems a lot like Star Wars -- so of course we just used it to play in the Star Wars universe!

What a race!

Yesterday I thought we were heading towards a late night photo finish, but Dimensius is one tough void being and the Manaforge Omega Race to World First continues into day 12.

It's been a long day of prog on Mythic Dimensius in the Manaforge Omega Race to World First, and still no one has come out ahead.

This week was dominated by the Midnight infodump from gamescom.

It's Friday again and that usually means it's New Video Game Time with Chris.

When Phase Diving was first announced for patch 11.2 I figured it was going to be a sort of “Maw lite” with harder challenges and trickier navigation (no flying? in 2025?!?) but it turns out that Phase Diving not only isn’t that hard to deal with, it actually makes getting around K’aresh faster and easier. Don’t want to be phased anymore? Just click off the buff that puts in you the phase — even if you’re being dogpiled by elite mobs. Want to quickly get from Tavazesh to the Oasis? Dive into the phase and teleport over. Have a challenging treasure to get? Fly to it in normal space and quaff an Untethered Xy’bucha and you may even get an achievement for your “hard” work recovering it.

It’s like the dev team got through 90% of phase diving development and remembered that the vast majority of the playerbase hated the Maw and scrambled to remove the worst roadblocks. I’m not complaining, mind you, as the Forge knows I have precious little time to play as it is. There’s just a dissonance between the challenge that phase diving wants to be and the fact that it actually provides some quality of life benefits.

I do look good in translucent sparkly pink, at least. Speaking of phase diving …

If you thought this week's show would be entirely about the new Midnight trailer and the information we're getting out of gamescom, you would be right.

There will be 11 new Delves in World of Warcraft Midnight to explore across the expansions first four zones.
