CORE - Core Gaming for Core Gamers

Our Blizzcon 2017 dev Interview!

BLIZZCON BE NIGH! Hopefully we get there and back before that pesky siege Hero knocks our houses down! We talk what we're doing at BlizzCon, what we hope to see, and lament how Heroes got left out of gifting in the Blizzard Battle.Net Launcher™. All that, your emails, our Virtual Ticket giveaway, and more, on CORE!

EVERYTHING IS COMING UP EXPLODEY! Jamison Fawkes, aka JUNKRAT, explodes into the Nexus and Scott couldn't be explodier! Hallow's End hitting next week and tons of cool new skins! We say yes to axe and the new Zul'Jin rework! We say "ahm komin threw" to Muradin's changes! Tons of tweaks to Heroes in the latest Balance Patch! Your poorly typed emails, Kylo Ren, and more, on this explody explosion-filled episode of CORE!

This week play Nerf, Buff, Change! Debrief our Ana-est impressions playing with new Hero, Ana! We run down the HGC Blizzcon Finalists, and then run down the Heroes-related contact for the newly announced Blizzcon Show Schedule! Bug fixes, D.Va the Destroyer, your e-mails, and more, on this dark-sided episode of CORE!

This week we ask: Should new maps be available in ranked? Volskaya seems awesome but still--should we be doing this right from launch? Also, it's Patch Day, and we discuss the impact that new heroes and hero reworks is having on our favorites. Some orange patch notes that didn't make it into the PTR notes! On this week's Core Concepts we ask: to suppression pulse, or not to suppression pulse! Jon's new Ana Lore trivia game! Your emails, calls, tweets and more, on this taz'dingoey episode of Core!

Ana! Junkrat! D.Va the Destroyer! D. Haka! An Invisible Horse! AND A NEW MAP: VOLSKAYA FOUNDRY! The Heroes team dropped a ton of new content and balance changes on us last Friday and we break it all down, CORE-Style!

Hey guys! Here is your new episode! Before delving into a deep discussion on why folks we know and play with seem to overwhelmingly shy away from playing tanking characters, we talk gaming apps and extensions we love to see for our favorite game! Jon's review of Vertical Man is in, Scott debriefs the team on Lt. Morales, and Beau becomes second ranger to Tyrande! All that, the Tank's Pledge, your emails and more, and this sturdy episode of CORE! This week's CORE is brought to you by Nature's Path: Help your digestion with a small dab of Nature's Path, available at your local confectionary! Find your path, Nature's Path, today! Thank you Nature's Path!

IT'S FINALLY PATCH DAY! Kel'Thuzad has arrived as well as his call! KT also heralds the close of a season, and we take a moment to look back on our Heroes experience over the past few months, go deep on how questing talents and abilities are affecting our gameplay experience, and discuss some possible new characters. All this, and more, on CORE!

If Wishes were Dishes We'd All Have a D! We look far and wide at the new KT on the PTR, along with some pretty major character reworks coming! What it takes to make a good trait in a character, and so much more!
