Patch 11.1.7 of World of Warcraft is now live, which means it's time to put on your insulated safety gloves and dive into some Overcharged Delves.

Going over this Queue, a few paltry hours from yet another doctor’s appointment (one in which my foot will have chunks of callouses carved off, and no, that’s not a joke) and I’m realizing that I’m trying as hard as I can to give short answers because every time I get excited and write a long one the CMS crashes.

Like that sentence above. That’ll probably kill this Queue. I’m literally shaking right now imagining it.

Investigation game The Operator was released last year on other platforms, but it first appears on the Epic Games Store today.

Yesterday's big news came in the form of a bonafide void-tinged cornucopia, as we learned that the next major content patch of The War Within will be the Ghosts of K'aresh update in patch 11.2.

Shifty things are afoot in this week's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl, Shiftcon West.

I’m off on a trip this week, so I won’t be joining you to chat below (I have a lot of driving to do as I head off to meet up with my guild, several states away) — but I’ll check in later tonight to say hello. Where traveling is concerned, it’s about the destination, not the journey, and driving is quite in the way of arriving. (Still, it’s better than flying.)

But while I’m on the road, here are some questions to discuss. Please talk amongst yourselves.

For most of WoW patch 11.1's run, the question on the minds of many World of Warcraft players has been: where do we go next?

This week Lore Watch takes a deep dive into the character of Faerin Lothar, based on the recent short story "Faith and Flame," as well as the release of patch 11.1.7, which sends us questing back into the Arathi Highlands.

Date Everything!

One of the most anticipated features of The War Within's upcoming patch 11.1.7 update is the addition of Lorewalking, which allows players to experience some of the most important and influential story arcs in the history of Azeroth in-game.
