Happy Easter Noblegarden, everyone! I hope that you can go out and get all of your new fun transmogs and another year down on the checks notes 6!? year duck transmog journey. Ok, that has to be a typo; nobody would make something that took six years to fully complete in Warcraft.

Three different orphans for Children’s week is fine, but six different duck disguises?! Absurd! Who even knew there were that many flavors of duck?

It doesn’t matter how long it’s been between matches, I can’t start a game of Heroes of the Storm without a polite greeting and a “good luck, have fun.” I could have suffered a concussion and lost an arm, but I’d still do it!

It’s that important!

Ending with a GG and/or a “better luck next game” is also important, but that one can be tougher. Especially if you’ve just gotten run roughshod over and people have been being salty. I still try though, just maybe not super hard sometimes…

Hi friendos! Good luck and have fun, it’s time for — The Queue!

I know that the odds of Heroes of the Storm coming back into full production are pretty low, but that doesn’t stop me from taking a big whiff of Hopium every time we get news about it! Did you know that with Microsoft PC Gamepass you now get a nice pack of 30 Heroes in Heroes to play with? So if you were ever like, how do I even get into it when I don’t want to be relying on just the basic stuff like Jim Raynor. Now’s your opportunity!

Surely this means that Microsoft is looking at ways to build some hype prior to a full-throated re-launch at BlizzCon ’26!

A few weeks ago, I wrote that the Winter freeze had broken and Spring was here. There was a whole week of temperatures above freezing!

Oh boy, I should not have said that.

Arthas must’ve heard me and taken it personally. We got more cold, more snow, and then when that second round of snow went away — we got even more this weekend! There was 25 cm! Close to 10 inches for you non-metric people. Maybe next week spring can start.

Isn’t this a great bear?

Surely Blizzard wouldn’t do something silly like introduce such a great bear, only to have players kill it. Then follow that up by telling players it was doubly dead and could never rejoin the cycle of rebirth that other natural things got in a whole expansion focused around the afterlife and letting several things get that treatment. That would be crazy.

Hey! It’s St. Patrick’s Day today, so I hope you’re using a green transmog. Luckily as a Druid I have no shortage of green things to wear. Not that anyone would dare to pinch a bear for not wearing green.

I guess I’m immune!

Sometimes you just need to look at a picture of three murloc gangsters escaping from a bad situation on a motorcycle.

I have no more context for you. Hearthstone has always been the best for taking all of the best parts of Warcraft’s sandbox and making it into something special and more than the sum of its parts. Which could be ascribing too much to someone’s job that day to paint a trio of Murloc smugglers running away from a bad scene. Who knows! All I know is that I like it.

While I wonder what my life would be like as a smuggler, it’s time for — The Queue!

Last week I was excited for spring, and this week the temperatures have been wonderful! We’ve gotten into the above-freezing area a few times and it has felt so nice.

However, as a Canadian who lives where I do, I know that a second or third winter can always be lurking around the corner. I’m just hoping that Arthas is too busy with his upcoming trip to Warcraft Rumble to freeze everything around me again.

While I optimistically break out the Hawaiian shirts, it’s time for — The Queue!
