The Hearthstone Too Many Portals Tavern Brawl would like for you to stop for a moment and remember those dedicated Mages who make your life on Azeroth a little easier.

In World of Warcraft, we've come across several shattered worlds, in varying degrees of obliteration.

Introduced with patch 12.0.5, Decor Duels brought the idea of "prop hunt" gameplay to World of Warcraft -- the game, ostensibly an old training exercise revived by the newly-united elves, had players split into teams of hiders and seekers; the hiders would assume the form of ordinary inanimate objects, while the seekers would have to find the disguised players.

Turbulent Timeways has returned during World of Warcraft's patch 12.0.7, and is live through August 11.

Ah, to be a tiny red dinosaur, snuggled into a plush bed for a nap.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’re gonna be real quiet so this little baby can have a nap.

We have an unusually long WoW maintenance day, with four hours of downtime scheduled for Midnight realms and a full eight hours of downtime scheduled for core Classic realms.

In the final episode of our Legend in the Mist actual play, the Inkwell Club has managed to calm down the frenzied (and cursed) Spring Renewal Festival, only to see that several townsfolk are still caught in the thrall of something sinister and being led down the narrow switchback paths to the bottom of Skunk Glen Ravine.

I’ve always wanted to go to space, but actual space flight seems… complicated. So this slingshot ride behind me seems like the next best thing.

I would totally ride it, but here’s the problem — it costs $50 to touch the sky. Which feels like just slightly too much money. If it was only 25 bucks, I would’ve already gone up, maybe multiple times over the last few years. If it was 40, I could grumble about it, but suck it up and take the launch of a lifetime. Fifty though?! That’s too much money to just go by myself.

I’ve been trying to see if any of the other Blizzard Watch staff want to sponsor me to take that launch. Maybe Anna really wants to finally be rid of me, and this is the most expedient way. Maybe Liz needs someone to be able to come on the podcast and talk about the experience. Either way, I’ve been a good Blizzard Watcher, and I would like to ride the slingshot. I’ve even written a haiku about it.

Oh giant slingshot
Launch me skyward to the sun
Mostly screams of joy

If that doesn’t get me a free slingshot ride, I don’t know what will.

While I come up with more ideas to prove how much I deserve to be sent to space, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

I've got to admit, I'm a little more excited for this week's Bethesda news than anything in Blizzard games...

After almost two weeks of silence and speculation following the most recent Microsoft layoffs, Bethesda released a statement reassuring us that they are still working on The Elder Scrolls and Fallout (and also Starfield).
