Their joke this year is that they are making a console version of Molten Core. The controls are so responsive, you can go in 8 separate directions! It even has sound!

I thought both were excellent jokes.

Not funny was when my monthly gem bag from the Consortium had two deep peridots and a golden draenite. And I’m revered.
