About

Blizzard Watch was founded in February 2015 to cover the games of Blizzard Entertainment. Our site thrives thanks to the passionate community we have developed over the past decade. Within six hours of launching the site the business was completely funded via its Patreon.

Since its inception Blizzard Watch has covered the latest World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, Diablo, and StarCraft news while giving the critical community-leading opinion that its authors have been known for.

Feel free to contact us if you’d like to get in touch.

Site Leadership

Elizabeth Harper

In the real world, Elizabeth Harper started her writing career with a gig for WoW Insider in 2006. Now, she's spent the past 10 years writing and editing online content for tech, gaming, and entertainment. In the virtual world, she's been playing Warcraft since its earliest days and dabbles in Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and Diablo.

Anna Bell

Anna Bell -- and yes that is her real name -- has 2 kids, a degree in English literature, and has been playing video games as long as she can remember. In addition to Blizzard's game she's also into Farm Simulator esports, and romanced Alistair in Dragon Age.

Dan O'Halloran

Dan O'Halloran loves his video games, fantasy books, superhero TV, and daily injections of caffeine a little too much. Father of two, husband of one, player of every video game he can squeeze into his day. And a few that he can't.

Authors

Allison Robert

Allison will eventually think of something interesting to write here. You can reach her at @AllisonRobert on Twitter.

Chris Chesno

Cybersecurity specialist in the streets, Paladin in the sheets. Chris has been playing World of Warcraft since Vanilla, dropping Judgement on foes and then bubble hearthing when things go sideways. Loves Star Wars, roleplaying games, and driving Liz Patt nuts.

Cory Taylor

Cory comes from the Land of Ice and Snow, an avid Blizzard fan he's been hooked since Warcraft 2. He spends his time in Warcraft as a Guardian Druid, and out of Warcraft wishing he could spend 6 months out of the year hibernating.

Eric O'Dea

Eric is a space nerd from Boston who has been playing video games since before he could read. His time in World of Warcraft stretches back to 2006, although most of his characters currently reside at the bottom of the Lakkari Tar Pits.

Joe Perez

Joe Perez has been playing World of Warcraft from launch and a Podcast Co-Host of Fore The Lore, a podcast devoted to story driven games of all genres. In his spare time, when he's not throwing lightning or slinging chain heals, he paints Mini War Gaming figures professionally for fun and proffit.

Matt Low

(@matticus) Started as a Warcraft blogger at World of Matticus in 2007. Heals a rag tag group of raiders at Death's Jesters. Matticus has been healing primarily as a Holy Priest since 2005 all the way up to the current expansion and continues to stubbornly do so against the advice of literally everyone. As one of the few Canadians on the team, Matticus is also an ardent supporter of the Oxford comma.

Matthew Rossi

Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.

Max Powers

6K is the GM for the Guild "Finish The Job". The Guild's only activity is collectively jumping up and down on the sword in Silithus.

Phil Xavier

Phil Xavier, also known as Red, began his Blizzard adventure many years ago, with such titles as Rock N' Roll Racing and Blackthorne -- but it was the one-two punch of Warcraft II and Diablo that really took hold of his nerdy heart. He is also deeply interested in other games, especially for the Switch (but without ignoring the PC and PS4), and in discussions about game design (and game-making) in general. There is a place called rcnsk.com where he writes stuff unrelated to Blizzard Watch, but the truth is that there's nothing really in there yet.

Phil Ulrich

Phil Ulrich is a software developer from Cincinnati, an amateur game dev, a former raid leader (and current raider) for a WoW guild full of retired ex-raid-leaders, and sometimes even a writer. His time in World of Warcraft goes back to 2008, and he's really been hooked ever since. Outside of WoW and Diablo, Phil is also an avid console and PC RPG fan, and a tabletop RPG "forever DM."

Rachelle Riddle

Rachelle has been playing a healing Priest since Wrath of the Lich King, and has leveled far too many Priests since then. When she's not letting tanks die during raid, she can be found making fabulous transmog sets or bothering her raid leader by reciting Rhonin's speech.

Rob Flanagan

Rob Flanagan came here to do two things, play Warcraft and bake cookies, and he is all out of baking soda. He comes from a long line of gamers after realizing his grandfather owned one of the early consoles and family style cooks, he spends most of his time in a kitchen pondering video game lore. During the Overwatch League season, his personality turns more gritty.

Sara Hanson

I'm an older dilettante gamer who has been playing Blizzard games since Diablo first launched. I run a World of Warcraft guild that has been around since Vanilla. I am also a long time role player on both sides of the GM screen and boardgamer. I'm an advocate for representation and accessibility in game design. I have cats. They're warm and fluffy.
