We exist on the very cusp of Friday, which itself is on the very cusp of the weekend. Myself and many others in the northern side of the country are currently attempting to make through a haze of wildfire smoke coming down from Canada, but… well, after looking out the window at the yellow-gray haze of the sky, I’ll just say it’ll be fine. We can do this. Nothing to worry about. Let’s play video games instead.

And now, this is our daily Q&A column in which we answer your questions about video games (and just about anything else). Let’s get to it.

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

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

Overwatch Summer Games, a favorite limited-time event even for the most casual of followers, is back from July 15 through July 31 2026.

Jesters, dreamers, and thieves are out this week in the Valeera’s Bag of Burgled Spells Tavern Brawl.

Before you get worried, I do not have fatal insomnia — I do sleep for between two to four hours a night. Most nights closer to two, admittedly. It means I spend a lot of time in the middle of the night playing video games, and I have been for a long time now. I played the original Diablo on PlayStation, Xenogears, several of the Silent Hill games, the various Doom games. Even the Dino Crisis games. In a real way, if I could sleep normal hours, the past 20 years of my life wouldn’t have looked anything like it has.

I still wish I could sleep more than I do.

Lore Watch kicks off with a discussion from Diablo 4 this week, which breaks the seal on the Lord of Hatred spoilers.

The Season of Horror is in full swing in the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse, capstoned by the recent release of Ravenloft: The Horrors Within.

When Pepe was originally introduced in Warlords of Draenor, this adorable orange avian companion was an interactable object in your Garrison, who got easier to reach as your Garrison was upgraded, so it make perfect sense that he's coming to visit our Player Housing house, too.

If you imagine
a quiet gong after
each Q, I thank you.
