I maintain that, of all World of Warcraft's myriad expansions, Mists of Pandaria is the best. The vistas. The storyline. The addition of Monk. It'll always be my favorite expansion, and I'll never forget the first time I saw the Temple of the Jade Serpent. Reliving those memories with WoW Classic has been an absolute blast; a nostalgia-filled romp through my childhood. Now, however, the Siege of Orgrimmar has arrived; Garrosh Hellscream needs dealing with, and the Mists of Pandaria chapter needs closing.

Hackers are using YouTube to spread the software, logging over 116,000 infections since the start of 2026, and use it to steal passwords, hijack accounts, record every key typed, and take over victims' screens and webcams.

June 2, 2026: We added the latest information about the third Minecraft drop set to arrive later this fall. Ever since Minecraft launched over a decade ago, it has constantly evolved with each passing year, adding more content, features, and functionality to the core experience. In 2024, Mojang, the game's developers, announced a radical change to bring more frequent updates to Minecraft called 'drops,' set to arrive every few months to ensure the game remains fresh. The current Minecraft update is Tiny Takeover, adding baby mobs, name tags for pets, and a golden dandelion that stops your critters from growing up. The next Minecraft update in the pipeline is Chaos Cubed, introducing Sulfur Cubes which open up brand-new minigames to play after a hard day of surviving the wilderness. We also got our first look at the 26.3 update during Minecraft Live, showing off the Dappled Forest biome for the first time.

Armor trims and smithing templates were added to Minecraft in the Trails and Tales update back in June 2023, and if you haven't been paying close attention, you may not know there's a host of personalization options at your fingertips. Join us as we break down all the Minecraft armor trims in the survival game, including how to find smithing templates, what to do with them, and more.

It’s Pride month, and that means those of us in the Alphabet Gang are suddenly marketable again! Facetiousness aside, it’s a time when lots of MMOs, MMORPGs, and multiplayer titles highlight and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community within their playerbases, so obviously we’re going to raise a glass and raise awareness. Wizard101 and Pirate101 have both […]
What is it about WoW Classic that hits the spot for some players – including me? It’s a surprisingly difficult question to answer, mostly because I think that a lot of it comes down to nebulous feelings rather than hard, data-driven facts. There’s something about the feel of this legacy MMO that strongly resonates in […]
In the wake of Destiny 2’s imminent collapse, MOP’s Chris and I were musing on which games would benefit most from the exodus of players who will eventually leave when given no fresh content or even seasons on a loop (a bizarre choice, but Sony clearly enjoys leaving money on the table or we wouldn’t […]
I think we all have at least one non-MMO that we’ve sunk an unholy number of hours into, and for me, that game is definitely Rimworld. Rimworld is my jam, a colony simulator that’s technically a real-time strategy game but is actually a “story generator” that’s designed to tell a huge tale of struggle, triumph, and tragedy […]
I’m not going to bury the lede on this one: MMORPGs need to be balanced. Every game, in fact, needs to be balanced. Balance is a continually moving target that needs to forever be re-evaluated and it’s hard to do, but on a very conceptual level, balance is important. If you do not accept that […]
Atomcraft is a pixel physics sandbox game where every element exists as a chemically reactive particle you can manipulate, creating a planet sized laboratory for experimentation and mechanical engineering.
In Atomcraft you’ll drill progressively deeper into alien terrain searching for rare materials while upgrading your equipment to access harder layers. Each element from the periodic table exists somewhere below, but extraction demands creative thinking as … Read More

Star Trek Online’s Chimerans prove to be more adaptive foes after this past week’s patch: “You will now see them gaining resistance to all damage types, once per damage type they receive.” Yeah, good luck with that you non-adapting space captains! And this is just the beginning of the rest of the news! Read on for a […]
The authorities have made the same demand to the owners of Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox. They appealed to them directly.
