This is so terrible. We just found out he was sick a month ago, after a long period of silence. AtG's importance can't be understated and it never would have been what it was without his voice. RIP Tompa.

Pretty good lil' holiday weekend in WoW

We posted a couple of Week 5 AotCs this expansion, which was the fastest we had ever done. Week 3 AotC is a whole other story. Awesome fight, team crushed it. Onto Mythic next week.

Generally I wouldn't buy a wrestling tee with just a fed's logo on it but sometimes exceptions must be made.

Great job not mentioning the artist of the piece or the significance of having him do it. Easier to just right-click copy the image from the Blizz press site, paste it into an article, and rake in the clicks. Zero editorial or educational value. Wowhead!

Just realized the mighty Glenn Rane did the Midnight key art. SCREAMING. CRYING. THROWING UP.

I love fighting games (obviously, I was born in '81), I never really play them these days, I am in no way a part of the FGC... but man I can never turn Evo off once I get started watching it. MvC 2 last night was absurd. Too bad I gotta wait until 11 PM EDT for SF6.

This will change nothing but it still feels good to let 'em know. chng.it/7HkWWxh2Hc

This is the best day on the internet in a couple months.

If you play like a dickhead in a TW dungeon, I WILL initiate a vote kick and it will probably pass, because people generally don't like having their leisure time wasted. Shocking, I know.

A Tauren-only guild called <For the Herd>

Donkey Kong Bananza is sheer joy distilled into video game form and playing it with the kids via Game Share to their Switch Lites feels kinda magical.
