Summer is well upon us, and with it a heat wave that has me staying well out of the sunshine. But the Ice Stone is still here, and still needs melting, so once again I queue up to kill Frost Lord Ahune for summertime festivity (and transmog).

Fortunately I can do this while staying indoors, because I really want all of the new Midsummer Fire Festival transmog.

But for now, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my best to answer your definitely video game related questions. Let’s get to it.

Turbulent Timeways has returned during World of Warcraft's patch 12.0.7, starting June 30 and running through August 11.

The Loa of death Bwonsamdi is the first topic in this week's Lore Watch Podcast.

With the Lord of Hatred expansion, I think it's fair to say that Diablo 4 finally has a story that feels complete.

Diablo 4 Season 14: Season of Death Awakening is now live, adding your standard seasonal invasion of Sanctuary, featuring throngs of enemies and a new Big Bad to thwart, with a Pandemonium theme.

It’s too frickin hot for cogent thought, apologies.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’ll answer — if you can find us!

It's been nearly a year, but the World of Warcraft secret finding community on Discord has finally located a dimension-traveling Purrkin that has eluded them since it was first revealed during our trip to K'aresh.
