Watching Blizzard: Happy weekend! (Patreon)

Or, depending on your time zone, happy almost weekend. Either way, I hope you’re having a good day/night/morning or whatever time frame you happen to be existing in presently.

Now let’s get to the news.

Ready to hunt some monsters?

• Hearthstone’s single-player Monster Hunt is now live and we’ve been having a lot of fun with it. Here are our tips on winning with all four heroes.

What we know about Lady Mara Fordragon?

• Not much, but then again we don’t know much about the entire Fordragon line.

It’s pet levelin’ time!

• By which we mean battle pet leveling. Though I suppose you could always be taking your actual pets for agility lessons or the like. At any rate, it’s double pet XP this week and Squirt, the king of battle pet XP, will be in your garrison on Sunday.  Here’s how to get your pets leveled.

Strand of the Ancients will soon be no more

• As millennial Mitch says, “press F to pay respects.”

So we’re all the way at the bottom of the post and you may be wondering just who that fabulous Gnome in the header image is. That would be Toki, whom you may know as one of the new Legendaries in Hearthstone. Or you may know her as one of the heroes in the new Monster Hunt mode. But that, my friend, is Infinite Toki, who is a future version of Toki who realizes you rampage through time must be stopped. She’s a final boss in Monster Hunter mode, and if you fight her with Toki you can have some excellent conversations with yourself.

Has this happened before?
This is the third time we’ve fought. Give up!

While there’s no guarantee you will meet Infinite Toki in Monster Hunter, the game mode is a lot of fun. As is Toki.

But that’s all for the news (and Gnome gossip) today. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here on Monday. Until then, this is Liz, signing out.
