How are you liking Midnight so far? Among the staff we have a lot of varied opinions, but one thing we're unanimous on is, we would absolutely commit a crime if Luma asked us to. πŸ’™ Jaywalking, cosmetology without a license, anything for this short queen.

Turnip Boy isn't just back, he's also free on Epic this week. It's like if Pretty Boy Floyd was starchy and fibrous and had a glock.

screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Eversong Forest zone. A runestone glows pink, with a teal glowing rune. A tree with pink leaves dominates the center, with small fireflies and pink mana wyrms flying around it. Smaller pink flowers grow around it, and also closer to the camera. In the distance is a Blood Elf building, white stone with a red roof and gold detailing. The trees closer to the building are orange and yellow.

Upcoming Diablo 4 novel takes us to Skovos leading into the Lord of Hatred expansion A new Diablo novel is coming soon: The Lost Horadrim by Matthew J. Kirby (also available as an audiobook read by Ralph Ineson, who plays Lorath) is due out

A new Diablo 4 novel sees Lorath journeying toward Skovos prior to the events of the upcoming expansion Lord of Hatred. If we know anything about Lorath, the novel's title "The Lost Horadrim" probably means he got drunk and took a wrong turn at Kyovashad.

Most World of Warcraft realms are back online, including Midnight, so you can get back to farming those Skyshards. Mists of Pandaria Classic realms remain offline, but that's probably not the WoW most of us were waiting for.

WoW Classic (Era, Seasonal, Hardcore) realms are back online, but maintenance has been extended for everybody else. Soon(tm)?

Midnight arrives with a surprisingly short scheduled WoW maintenance The Midnight expansion just dropped in World of Warcraft, which makes this week's one-hour maintenance seem optimistic to me, but that's why I'm not a game

It is a very short maintenance today for all eras of WoW, so we're knocking wood because we just said that out loud.
