If you were wondering why World of Warcraft wasn't adding a new class with its upcoming Shadowlands expansion, you are definitely not alone. After...

All right, I guess we're doing this now. Yes, this column isn't just about how Blizzard screws up so badly that a lot of...

Let me write about the day that the Cataclysm arrived. I wasn't going home. I just happened to be in Elwynn Forest, really, visiting an old trainer and introducing him to my boyfriend at the time. We were sharing a glass of wine, he was laughing about the way that an early exercise had me toppling into the water in the freezing cold of early winter.

It's hard to find a whole lot to say about World of Warcraft: Classic at this point. Not in a bad sense, mind you;...

So it was just last week when I did a whole column asking whether Blizzard does, in fact, have a plan when it comes...

One of the recurring jokes I use in this column's comment section is the statement that it'd just be sad to think that fans...

As much as there's a moment of schadenfreude in the people compiling lists specifying that no, World of Warcraft: Classic being classic is not...

There's a game I like to play - wait, no, that's a lie. There's a game I do play called "Oh, I Made Myself Sad."...
