Oh, fine, you all convinced me. I’ll try out the fancy new Elves in Warcraft: Forever. 

Of course, the first step is coming up with a good name, and after I couldn’t be Tobias Fünke, Ursus Ursus, or Trucka Saurus, I had to settle on Lookout Itsabear. I’ve only just gotten to the second hub in their starting area, but it’s already such a weird mix of familiar and new. It’s been so long since I leveled a character without immediately covering it in heirlooms and spending money that it’s been a fun throwback.

Will I start up another Skyborne Elf when the game comes out? I don’t know, but until then I’ll keep poking around the Azeroth of old.

While I sit and drink some of this sparkling water to get my mana back, again, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

Against all odds, the Dungeons & Dragons Warcraft crossover book seems like it might actually be good.

It was another quiet week as we continue to binge on the WoW: Forever beta, but big things are on the horizon!

It’s been a hectic week for me. So many games to play, so little time to play them! But, at last, the weekend has arrived.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we feel like a draenei runner delivering stolen black market crystals to an underground crime gang. It’s just the way things are sometimes.

Fresh off a triumphant return last week, Cory is back to discuss Heroes of the Storm again.

A bevvy of new items including mounts, pets, and transmogs, most notably the addition of Hallow's End style masks are available at the World of Warcraft Trading Post throughout October.

It’s October: the trees are changing colors, the ghosts are coming out to play. Time to sit under the stars as the nights get cold and see who comes out to play. (Probably a bear.)

But let’s not dwell too much while we wait. This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I will do my best to answer your questions and then we’ll all hang out in the comments section.

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

We have another super old Tavern Brawl returning in Hearthstone this week: A Dark Recipe gives players pre-made decks that summon the power of the Old Gods — at least, the way they did about 10 years ago.

S, T, U and V sold separately.

I’m not going to explain the Godzilla header.
