The World of Warcraft Shadowlands patch 9.2.5 release candidate from a few days ago is apparently the release candidate, because Blizzard has posted to their official site that we're getting patch 9.2.5 next week, on May 31.

My wife has been playing this mobile game, and last night, she texted me a series of pictures of the art and characters from this game. To put it mildly, they are reminiscent of other games. Like, that header image? I had to crop it to fit, so you’re not really getting the full picture. But trust me, these guys are not even trying to hide it. The Orcs in the game are even worse, but they are far from the worst offenders.

This is the Queue. I’m legitimately fascinated by this game.

Some people are what's called eternal DMs -- they got into Dungeons and Dragons or other TTRPGs and started running games at some point, and it became almost all they ever do.

I just returned to Azeroth after a few months off and I'm trying to figure out which of my characters to focus on and get through into Zerethh Mortis, and I realized that Shadowlands is the first World of Warcraft expansion where I stopped playing for an extended period of time.

There’s one in every show, so since Cory was talking so much about placeholders, this is a pretty good spot to put this one.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’ll take a minute to answer before getting back to vocal warm ups.

Hearthstone's Interim Game Director August Dean Ayala (aka Iksar) made a simple tweet where he shared his wish to work on several exciting features for the game — and each of them would be absolutely massive.

World of Warcraft has added quite a few accessibility options over the years, from improved color blind modes to click and mouseover casting -- but that doesn't mean I can't think of a few additional changes that would be very helpful.

Video games and accessibility have been at the front of my mind for the past few years.

[Definitely remember to write something better than this block of placeholder text, maybe something about ducks? People seem to really like ducks]

In the new Season 4 of Mythic+ Dungeons coming in Patch 9.2.5 of Shadowlands, players will no longer run the same set of dungeons they have been all expansion long, but the new list of dungeons aren't new dungeons at all.
