World of Warcraft is celebrating its 20-year anniversary today, November 23, 2024. Below, we talk with key developers about the journey to make the game what it is today, and the future ahead.

Two decades ago, World of Warcraft burst onto the scene and changed gaming forever. The once-niche MMORPG genre became mainstream overnight. Blizzard took ideas that came before in games like Everquest and refined, polished, and further elaborated on them until what was left would appeal to the gaming masses. The result was “WoW” becoming a household name and a cultural phenomenon in a way most video game creators can only dream of, with millions and millions of players willing to pay a $15-a-month subscription to this day for the privilege of continuing their digital adventures in the fantasy world of Azeroth.

It’s hardly a surprise the WoW that first launched 20 years ago on November 23, 2004, while technically still the same game, is vastly different to the current version of the MMO players play today. Its most recent expansion alone, The War Within, added account-wide progression and a new endgame activity for solo players, two ideas …

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was one of the best games of 2023. Its sprawling world is filled with secrets–and if you’re looking to uncover everything Hyrule has to offer, you’ll want to pick up the official Tears of the Kingdom strategy guide. And if you typically buy books from Amazon, you will definitely want to choose the hardcover collector’s edition version.

The collector’s edition is available for $27 (was $45), but the standard edition paperback is currently listed for $43. This is rather peculiar considering Amazon had the standard edition for around $20 at various points last year. What’s even stranger is that the standard edition launched with a $30 MSRP. And yet, the price at Amazon for the standard edition has been climbing for several months–and this $43 listing is indeed shipped and sold by Amazon. But you can still grab the standard edition guide for a great price, as Target has it for $18.79. Target also has the collector’s edition for $27.

This all could be a bizarre fluke, but if you haven’t picked up the guide and have any interest at all, the potential price increase, if the collector’s edition follows suit, is worth keepi…

The fourth season of The Boys came to a close today, but with a major warning and reworked episode name. Amazon and Sony Pictures Television issued a statement condemning political violence as well as letting people know the Prime Video show was filmed last year. Come from online casino bangladesh

In the absence of any official news about the Switch 2, rumors and reports about it are popping up all over the place, including at the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas. The latest rumor stems from peripheral company Genki, which is showing off accessories for the Switch 2 at CES and even reportedly telling one journalist that the system will launch in April.

Accessory manufacturers like Genki might get advance notice of upcoming hardware announcements, but there is no indication here that it’s the case. Genki is also displaying what it claims to be a genuine replica of the Switch 2. The company apparently created a mock-up of the Switch 2 as a stand-in to show how Genki’s accessories, including a docking station and case, will work for it.

The report from Numerama (via VGC) also states that the Switch 2’s new Joy-Cons have an optical sensor and a “C” button, the purpose of which is unknown. Again, all of this information should be taken with a grain of salt.

Genki also has a website set up for “NS2 Accessories.” The page states: “The Next Evolution in Gaming is Coming… We’re working on something extraordinary for the next handheld.” Come fro…

When the original version of The Office debuted in the United Kingdom in 2001, few could have predicted that it would launch 12 adaptations around the world including an American version of The Office that ran for nine seasons. Next month, Australia is getting the 13th version of The Office. And if the first trailer is any indication, a lot of the old character archetypes are back with new performers in some very familiar roles.

At first glance, this version of The Office has the same mockumentary style as the others. The biggest change is that Felicity Ward–who was recently seen in Apple TV+’s Time Bandits–is the first female boss in the franchise. Ward is playing Hannah Howard, the managing director of a packaging company called Finley Craddick.

Hannah is more of a Michael Scott than a David Brent, and she’s a firm believer in her own abilities as a boss. This show is set post-COVID, and Finley Craddick has decided that everyone can work remotely. That terrifies Hannah, because in her own way, she loves her employees. Unfortunately, that love is expressed by forcing her workers to keep coming into the office even when they would rather be anywhere else.…
