We're a week into exploring the tattered purple remains of K'aresh, so naturally it's time to bring along your army of alts without having to repeat the same series of quests a dozen times in a row.

The Wholesome Games Celebration sale is back on Steam, running from August 7 to 14 and inviting the community to "experience a carefully curated selection of games that inspire hope, joy, and introspection." And what inspires both hope and joy more than cute things, huh?

Cory is off doing awesome things this week, so I’ll be your Queue Keeper on this fine Monday afternoon. I’m excited to be here! I’m excited to be careening around K’aresh in the newest Ethereal threads. I’m excited that I got to talk to Matt and Joe about Jurassic Park for an extended period of time. I’m excited about some of the projects that I’ve been working on. I hope you’re excited too!

This week we're playing a game of Rebel Scum, a game of anti-fascist space opera that seems a lot like Star Wars -- so of course we just used it to play in the Star Wars universe!

July is in our rear-view mirrors as we set our sights on the purple deserts of K'aresh, which means we can take a well-earned breather from chain-farming old raids with the Collector's Bounty buff.

Hamilton turns ten this week, and Lin-Manuel Miranda announced that it would be coming to theaters in September, so I'm having a Hamilicious week.

Rod Fergusson has been the General Manager of the Diablo franchise for five years, overseeing the launch of Diablo 4 and its expansion, Diablo 2 Resurrected, and Diablo Immortal, as well as Diablo 3's descent into maintenance mode — but now he's leaving Blizzard, and we don't know who will hold the reins next.

That image up there?

Finally. After years of NPCs taunting us with their casual leaning against walls and other structures, with patch 11.2 we finally have the ability to /lean! While slouching against a wall is cool and all SJHawk pointed out in yesterday’s queue comments that it works without a wall, effectively making players mimes! Hopefully this is not the last mime-able emote as /pullrope and /againstthewind — cue Bob Seger — would allow us to further perform mimeish (mime-like? mime-style?) feats.

It’s been a week but it’s Friday so let’s answer some fun and have some questions!

The War Within patch 11.2 is finally here, and we're already into the swing of things even before Season 3 officially launches next week.
