The fight for the timeways in Hearthstone rages on, and it's time to take it to Murozond on the new miniset, Echoes of the Infinite.

Congratulate yourself, because you’ve made it half-way through a challenging post-holiday week. It is the first Wednesday of the year (my dudes), so hang in there and we can all make it through the weekend together.

But for now, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where we can all hang out and chat instead of doing anything productive. Let’s get to it.

World of Warcraft Classic anniversary realms will take the first step to becoming The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary realms when the TBC Classic pre-patch rolls out on January 13, 2026 and players will have about 3 weeks to prepare themselves before the actual TBC Classic expansion to launches on February 5, 2026!

It's back to the randomness in this week's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl, Cloneball!

This week Joe and Matt are answering another listener question, this time concerning Paladins, and how they serve as an intersection between the divine Light, and the Titans who shaped Azeroth.

If you've been frustrated by the slow pace of gathering lumber in The War Within in order to craft player housing decor with your professions, then good news -- new achievements have been added to the Midnight beta that allow for mounted lumberjacking.

The prayers of the player base have finally been answered and Paladins have finally arrived as a new class in Diablo 4!

Since today is the twelfth day of Christmas, tonight is the twelfth night. I plan to celebrate by watching the new Great Performances version of the play, featuring Sandra Oh, Lupita Nyong’o, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Peter Dinklage as Malvolio.

We’ve had PBS Passport since 2022, and it’s well worth the price, even though our local has increased from $5 per month to $7 per month this year. And come on, Lupita and her actual brother as Viola and Sebastian? Amazing.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll answer but only if we can wear our yellow stockings and go cross-gartered while we do. And a paaartri-idge in a pear treeeee.

It's another speedy WoW maintenance this week, as all World of Warcraft servers scheduled to be offline for an hour this morning.

The first Monday of 2026 is already shaping up to be one heck of an example of its species, but instead of trudging your way into the day, might I recommend instead embodying the spicy attitude of a freshly examined -- yet adorable -- cheetah cub?
