September 2026 will mark the 35th anniversary of Blizzard Entertainment. World of Warcraft was launched in 2004, and the author initially avoided it due to social reservations. In 2024, the author embraced the game during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event. World of Warcraft features a fast-paced Tab-Target combat system and epic Raid dungeons with challenging bosses. The Mists of Pandaria Remix event allowed players to revisit past expansions, leading to the introduction of the Legion Remix event. The game offers a diverse range of playable Races and Classes, and recent updates have increased solo-friendly content, such as Delves in The War Within. Endgame content includes cosmetic hunting, gear customization, and various activities. The author is involved with the Tree of Hope Guild, enhancing their multiplayer experience. World of Warcraft: Midnight is set to release on March 3, 2026.

From the Top is a top-battling roguelike game that was released on Steam last month. Players select battle tops and navigate a path similar to Slay the Spire, engaging in battles against enemy tops. Each top consists of three components that affect movement, collision force, and spin stamina, and features an active ability for dynamic combat. Players can discover unique combinations, such as a top that generates clones or one that can become intangible. The game includes various enemy types and challenging bosses with unique abilities. It is priced modestly and aims to evoke nostalgia for the Beyblade craze of the early 2000s, offering a safe alternative to physical Beyblade battles.
