If you thought we were going to talk about something other than changes coming to WoW in Midnight this week, you must be new, so hi, welcome to the podcast.

In November, a bounty of new items will arrive at the World of Warcraft Trading Post for players to gobble up in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Dornogal.

Sometimes I get smug because I don’t have a ton of unplayed games on Steam, because I can be thoughtlessly hypocritical. So now I’m suffering for my thoughtlessness, as GOG had a big sale on games which meant that I could pick up Neverwinter Nights and a ton of DLC for it for under $10 Canadian.

Did I need to buy it? No. I’m not even playing it — The Outer Worlds 2 is out on Game Pass, and I have to justify that $30 price tag. But getting the entire Enhanced Edition for ten bucks? Even though I’ve got like 37 games I don’t play and in fact don’t even have installed, it felt impossible to pass it up.

Yeah, I know. I’m a sucker.

Epic Games Store is giving away two fan favorite horror video games with retro styling for free, to celebrate Halloween.

When Midnight launches, players will be able to participate in a lineup of brand new World Activities -- but which ones will be at the top of you weekly to-do list for the entire expansion, and which will you completely ignore each weekly reset?

By now it's becoming a tradition: a new Hearthstone expansion is about to be released — this time, Across the Timeways, on November 4 — and we're getting a pre-release Tavern Brawl to test the cards in advance.

October has been a pretty fruitful month for new Indie games with titles like Dispatch, RV There Yet?

But you can’t nap while waiting in the queue, because you might miss it. So let’s get to the questions… we can take the perfect cat nap later.

In the first of three questions we answered this week, a listener wanted to know some of the influences our hosts Joe and Matt see in WoW from literature, movies, and myth, and they talked about a slew of varied media, from 60s sci-fi (no, not that one, though yes, that one) through comics.

The light crackling of a fire, far off chimes which shift closer and further, slightly left and then right channel in your headphones, and the quiet whispering in Italian that feels like it's murmuring between your shoulderblades -- you know a horror game has the juice when you get full body frisson chills just from the sound design in the main menu.
