Earlier this year we talked about the current leveling problem in World of Warcraft and Blizzard's vague promise to fix it. Go ahead and give the article a read so you're up to speed. You didn't, did you? To sum things up the powers th...

World of Warcraft has overshadowed Destiny 2 and FFXIV as my most-played "free time" game at the moment. Despite the qualms some players have with the recent Battle for Azeroth expansion I'm having a great time experiencing the six new...
