What we’re playing
Amanda – I’m all on that Diablo 4 train baby! Toot toot! I’m nearly level 60 on my necro and doing Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide, and The Whispering Tree.
Stacey – I’ve been playing It Takes Two with my daughter and it was a fun experience. Even at 5, she picked it up fast— a great 2-player experience. But I’ve relapsed into the World of Warcraft train – it’s the best Blizzard title, there I said it.
