Hearthstone's latest expansion pack Fractured in Alterac Valley is coming next Tuesday, but the team behind it is already trying to build hype by giving out two free card packs on Thursday and Friday to players who watch Hearthstone streams on YouTube (follow the link to find eligible channels) or Twitch, and have connected their Battle.net account to the platforms.

At first glance the Hearthstone December card back reward for winning five games in ranked play seems seasonal and innocuous — some snow, a red scarf, and the glowing warmth of the inn fire through the window.

It’s my debut writing this column, and I’m so lucky to have all sorts of good stuff to cover today. Television, favorite mounts, and even The Beatles.

There will be an answer — it’s The Queue.

Next week is replete with expansions, with Tuesday seeing the release of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker (those who purchase early access can start playing this Friday), Everquest taking us back to Luclin, and Hearthstone visiting Alterac Valley.

I love my glowstick weapons.

It’s the Queue let’s gooooooo.

This week we explore the connection between Titans and Azeroth, the nature of the Eternal Ones, and if Dragon Isles could be the focus of a future WoW expansion.

I think we all experience at least a touch of overload every December.

If you've played any computer games, you've probably played one or more RPGs without really thinking about it.

You ever see promo art of a character and it resonates with you really deeply? That’s me with AF Kay.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’ll get around to answering them by turn three, probably. If you bring us a drink in a coconut, that might speed things along.

There's been an absence of new content lately for World of Warcraft players.
