The fight for the timeways in Hearthstone rages on, and it's time to take it to Murozond on the new miniset, Echoes of the Infinite.

The rain worked the window like it had a grudge. I sat at my desk in a cramped office, coat still on, lamp buzzing, the city outside dripping neon and regret. Cold crept in through the walls, settling in my bones like it planned to stay awhile. I was nursing a bad cup of coffee and worse thoughts when I remembered—quiet never lasts in this town. It just waits for the door to open.

Yesterday Google told me that, despite “free unlimited backups for photos taken with this phone on Drive” being a whole selling point of the phone, I was now over my limit, somehow. So they immediately removed my ability to save any documents in Drive — which is kind of crucial for a writer! — or backup photos to the cloud, and told me they’re going to shut off the email address I’ve had for 20 years unless I start deleting stuff off the cloud. Should I blow away videos of my kids to be able to save the novel I’ve been working on for almost 2 years now? They do have a solution though — I could pay them a subscription for extra backup space. It’s a trifle, really.

So, of course, I’ve spent the last 24 hours converting everything I possibly can and burning everything google to the ground. Ente photos, Proton Mail, LibreOffice, and Scrivener all have my business now. As an added bonus, Scrivener’s corkboard system will likely replace a lot of what I use Notion for, which I’ve been trying to replace since they went so all-in on AI they told me I should make Dante’s Divine Comedy into an escape room.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’ll answer. We’re kind of busy though, and the answers will likely be petty and spiteful.

The Midnight pre-patch is almost upon us, and with it will come the long discussed "addon apocalypse," where changes to the back end have either made it impossible to maintain certain addons, or made the task of updating them too daunting for some developers to want to continue.

Today's maintenance is completely average for players on The War Within and Mists of Pandaria Classic servers, with just a quick hour of downtime scheduled for both.

WoW Classic anniversary realms can now look forward to the The Burning Crusade Classic pre-patch officially launching on January 13, 2026 at 3 pm pacific time.

It took me three years, but I did it; I read every book and short story anthology in the Warhammer Horus Heresy and Siege of Terra series. All 67 of them, and boy, are my eyes tired.

First off, shout out to my local library and its ereader app for letting me read all of the books legally and for free. That really helped on the wallet front. Second, I’m going to miss the series. I’ve been reading it for so long that now it’s going to be weird reading anything else. Maybe I’ll ease myself back into non-Warhammer stuff by making a stopover in the Alien novels.

I’m glad I was able to stick with it and read all of them. I’d tried to get through the series as they were first coming out, but having to wait a long time between novels was tough. I love the big over-the-top shooty sci-fi of it all, and getting so many books to watch characters grow and evolve was a fun time. I liked knowing the gist of the ending and seeing how everything lined up to get there, especially at the end, as so many narrative throughlines started getting their payoffs, or their set-ups for Warhammer 40,000 stuff.

While I go sit on a golden throne couch and think about everything that brought me to this point, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

Is there any D&D 5E class more flexible without a single multiclass level than the Artificer?

We're all still waking up from our holiday season slumber, with Blizzard starting to dole out new announcements for the new year.

While the vast majority of Player Housing decor can be obtained without relying on random chance, there are a few pieces so far in early access that require some good ol' luck to acquire.
