After the recent deluge of 10.2 news, this week's GG WoW video has decided to focus on the Season 3 dungeon pool! Dratnos and Tettles go dungeon by dungeon and discuss the first things that came to mind upon learning the dungeon pool.
For anyone who missed it, that dungeon rotation is:
They were both surprised to not see more Dragonflight dungeons in the list, and wonder if that means an all-Dragonflight season 4 or 5 is on the way.
Tettles worries Darkheart Thicket may end up being the Underrot/Court of Stars/Shadowmoon Burial Grounds of the season, as the biggest one-shotty bosses have already been nerfed when the dungeon returned for Legion timewalking.
Black Rook Hold and Waycrest Manor both were annoying Sanguine dungeons — in BRH's case that dungeon was painful even with the weaker Legion Sanguine!
Atal'Dazar was a common favorite dungeon for many from BFA, though there are several problematic enemies in there that were often avoided or mitigated with snapping, which both Dratnos and Tettles expect will be updated to effectively nerf the strategy when the dungeon returns.
Everbloom and Throne of the Tides are both old enough that memories have faded on their specifics, and of course Throne of the Tides never existed even as a CM dungeon, so it will hopefully be receiving a fresh coat of paint to make sure it works in today's game.
What do you think about the dungeon pool? Let us know in the comments!

Larian have released a new Baldur's Gate 3 update which - in news that will surely lead to V-Day-style mass celebrations throughout the forts and dungeons of Faerûn - removes the loathed shared stash system introduced by Patch 3, which caused companions to dump their entire inventories on you when dismissed. The new patch reverts companion behaviour to their pre-Patch 3 behaviour, for a less frustrating RPG experience. In even more momentous tidings, it re-shaves that cat everybody loves. Ah, videogames.
I've been looking forward to more Talos Principle ever since I wrapped up the original way back in 2014 (man, has it really been almost 10 years?) and soon, I will finally get some. The Talos Principle 2, a game about robots trying to figure out the meaning of life in a post-human world filled with puzzles and metaphysical ramblings, is set to arrive on November 2.

Season 3 is fast approaching in New World . Along with the release of the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion next week, there is a whole new season pass about to start. Amazon has released all of the details on reward tracks and what we can expect from both free and premium tiers.
We now have a FFXIV 6.5 release date and a look at everything we can expect from the Growing Light update, courtesy of the latest letter from the producer. FFXIV Live Letter 79 just took place at the Tokyo Game Show, and as always game director Naoki Yoshida and community producer Toshio Murouchi held their light-hearted, laid-back look at everything coming in the next big Final Fantasy 14 patch. We’ve got all the details below, including a promise of math with Thaliak, a glimpse at the Zeromus fight, Stormblood joining the free trial, and the much-touted FFXIV KFC collab.
UPDATE: Digital Foundry has just completed its review of Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 on PC, with a strong focus on the new ray tracing innovations added to the game in the form of DLSS 3.5 ray reconstruction. This new technology aims to drastically improve denoising. With current forms of RT, rays are traced — but they are limited in number compared to reality, producing a 'noisy' image that requires processing to increase coherency. Different effects may require different denoisers and all of them are tuned by human input. Ray reconstruction aims to take that task out of the hands of the developers, relying on machine learning to do a better and faster job.
We’re almost there, folks. October is right around the corner.
It was bound to happen—there's another dungeon crawling PvP extraction game in the works for those of us who prefer to get our competitive kicks with swords and spells rather than guns.

From leaked court documents we now know that Microsoft dreamed up a «cloud hybrid» games console. One that would harness both the power of a local AMD Zen 6 or ARM CPU, a Navi 5 semi-custom GPU, and a cloud gaming platform to deliver «new levels of performance beyond the capabilities of the client hardware alone.»
