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.

Guild Wars 2's sixth expansion, Visions of Eternity, is now live!

It is almost Halloween and as such, I am in disguise. I am pretending to be a responsible adult and parent when really all I want to do is play video games. Alas.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we are responsible and answer in a timely fashion instead of playing the new Pacific Drive DLC.

(dang it).

Tuesday is coming for us with another long World of Warcraft maintenance (for some players).

Friends, it’s essential to enjoy your seasonal favorites as the days grow shorter and the weather grows colder.
