In this Diablo 4 spoiler-laden lorefest, Joe and Matt discuss the end of the campaign from Lord of Hatred and where it may lead next.

Hearthstone has a new upcoming expansion, Escape from Violet Hold, and this time VanVan — that's Vanessa VanCleef for you uninitiated — is commanding a daring prison break from the Violet Hold, now guarded by none other than Maiev Shadowsong.

It’s Pride Month, which has increasingly been co-opted by companies trotting out the same ol graphic year after year to celebrate. As tiresome and disingenuous as that may be, it does make me a little hopeful, in that if it weren’t profitable for them to puke rainbows, they wouldn’t do it.  And conversely, for some, the message of being unrepentantly visible about supporting Pride will outweigh any consequence.

When I say that you matter, that you deserve the right to not only exist but thrive, and I’m happy you’re here, I truly mean that.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and we don’t really have any answers but we’re still showing up anyway.

Game showcase summer has begun: these early weeks of June fill the void of E3 with video game announcements, capping off with Summer Game Fest 2026 itself on Friday.

Most World of Warcraft players have a light Tuesday maintenance ahead of them, with just an hour of downtime for Midnight, Classic, and The Burning Crusade servers.

Grab your rod and reel because it's time to go fish up a murloc — not in World of Warcraft, but in Diablo 4.

This week on the Tavern Watch Podcast, we discuss some exciting news for fans of all things that go bump in the night: a new Vampire: the Masquerade project was teased for GenCon 2026, including a commitment to "human-created" art, as opposed to AI slop.

I went and saw one of my favorite bands last week, Alestorm!

They put on one heck of a great show. The standout is, of course, this giant inflatable duck, but they also had a singing parrot and a rapping shark come out for a couple of songs, so it was a pretty wild time. There was crowd surfing, and a mosh pit, and at one point the mosh pit sat on the floor and all rowed in unison with the singer, and a whole bunch of songs about drinking rum! What’s not to love?

I’m a little sad that they didn’t do their cover of The Last Saskatchewan Pirate, written by a local band, but I can understand not changing the tour setlist for just one stop.

While I dive deep into the pirate metal rabbit hole, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

Grab your mushroom-chopping axe, because we're headed to Harandar for the first mid-season World of Warcraft raid in several expansions.

Summer Game Fest is coming on Friday, and we're pretty excited — not so much for the big corporate showcase, but for all of the fantastic smaller showcases that are going on all week.
