Last Week on Blizzard Watch: Keeping busy

This last week has been a busy one here at Blizzard Watch. In addition to our coverage of all of the latest news and features for World of Warcraft and Blizzard’s other titles, Blizzard Watch recently announced the sale of our first t-shirt, our off-topic section The Tavern, and our participation in the BlizzCon pre-party, Con Before the Storm. If that isn’t enough, we’re also looking to hire a pair of new columnists. Check out all of the above — and everything else we’ve done this past week!
