This is Bubbles. (The one standing next to her is some weird fish mage whose name doesn’t matter right now.)

Bubbles took a sabbatical for a couple years, but she’s back to fulfill her job of lobbing balls of water at fools with deadly force to help her master. Dutiful and unquestioning. Water Elementals are known for harmoniously agreeing with those who summoned them, rather than entering nebulous “contracts” or being employed against their wills (which usually leads to constantly plotting revenge, and that’s antithetical to good water flow).

We’re in The Queue, a daily Q&A column that delivers answers to questions day after day, with consistency and a dash of spunk.

This week our hosts mostly focused on everything that's coming soon in WoW and a few other games.

With the opening chapter of Midnight concluded, we are left still pondering some of the most intriguing mysteries in the Worldsoul Saga.

The Burning Crusade Classic Phase 2, styled the Overlords of Outland, launches worldwide on WoW Classic Anniversary realms on May 14, 2026 at 3pm pacific time. This phase continues our adventures in Outland with new content for everyone to experience, let's take a look at everything that will come to TBC Classic anniversary realms on May 14!

Fish are always up to something, and while Warcraft has several talking fish, I’m extremely concerned about the addition of fishing to Diablo 4 in the upcoming expansion. What kind of fish will we find in Sanctuary? What will they whisper in our ears? Will we replace the Cow Level with a Fish Level?

I have so many concerns.

But for now, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I answer your questions and we all get to hang out in the comments and chat. Let’s get to it.

The Epic Games Store is giving away the weirdly gorgeous stealth game The Stone of Madness for free this week.

One of the new features coming in WoW patch 12.0.5 on April 21 is something new called the Voidforge.

Sadly, this week's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl is the Heroic Brawliseum Standard.

I’ve always been a bit of a contrarian.

Is Midnight the Elf-centric team-up expansion of our dreams, or what?
