We've gotten our first look at the upcoming World of Warcraft Midnight patch 12.1, the Curse of Ula'tek, which will include new raids, dungeons, and more content for Midnight Season 2.

Why did we come have to come back here? Didn’t we do enough of these otherworldly invasions during Legion? That we now have to come back and do them again, just fighting the Void instead of the Burning Legion?

Apparently not, because now we’re teleporting off to Void “showdowns” in those same places, but at least this one is cool (as in temperature) and will give us a break from the Midsummer Fire Festival (starting this weekend). But still, I could have skipped this. (But I won’t, because there’s new transmog.)

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where we do our very best to answer your questions, but our best varies depending on the day. Let’s get to it.

Every week the Epic Games Store gives away a game or two for free.

While sports fans of Earth are cheering on their home nations in the ongoing World Cup (go sportsball!), players of World of Warcraft have a chance to practice some footie and earn some unique cosmetic rewards.

Another one of Hearthstone's oldest Tavern Brawls return this week after a very long absence.

Do you ever read a word so many times that it ceases to look like a real word? Lately, for me, that’s been “Void.” We’ve been combating the forces of the Void for years now. We fought a Voidlord. We’ve visited their home turf in Voidstorm. We’ve empowered Voidforges to get Voidshards we can make into a Voidcore, and then there’s the other Voidcore that’s a bonus roll. We’ve got Void Invasions, Void Assaults, and Void Rituals in ritual sites. Now we’re off for a Void Showdown on other planets.

I guess if there’s one thing you can say for the Void, it’s got consistent branding.

We start off Lore Watch this week wishing Mephisto a Happy Father's Day -- but are there any other fathers among the evils of Diablo?

It’s that time of year, when the humidity and heat conspire, and there is a predictable, yet unpredictable, 15 minute thunderstorm almost every afternoon. Comes on suddenly, pours, then stops and the sun comes out immediately, the pavement smoking as the rain evaporates. It’s a pretty wild phenomenon I haven’t really seen in many other places, and it means the dog days of summer are truly upon us.
