Just because it's a holiday for most of us doesn't mean that World of Warcraft's weekly maintenance is canceled — though it is a short one this week, with all iterations of WoW going offline for just an hour.

A game can’t put buttons in front of us and expect us not to press them. Buttons are there for the pressing, and the bigger and redder they are, the more tempting they are to tap. If you don’t want us to press a button, have you considered not having a button? I think that’s a surefire method.

With that out of the way, let’s get to the Queue.

WoW patch 11.0.7 launches today, and even though it's a minor patch we're due for some major maintenance: The War Within servers were slated to be offline from 7am - 3pm pacific, but now they're back up!

WoW patch 11.0.7 is now live, giving us the chance to explore the mysterious Siren Isle.

This week is all about gaming awards shows and showcases, and here at Blizzard Watch we have been soaking up game trailers all week.

Does Geoff Keighley not realize gamers are getting older? That we have bedtimes? Limited attention spans? Four hours of game trailers is just too much. By the end I had forgotten the beginning, the middle was a blur, and I was starting to doze off so I’m not completely sure how it ended. Hopefully someone won!

But I’m being too harsh. The whole show was worth watching just to see Statler and Waldorf call Geoff a sellout. The Outer Worlds 2 trailer was also extremely good, and possibly some other things happened.

But for now, let’s get to the Queue.

Since Warcraft Rumble launched a year ago, we've all been clamoring for a PC version to play.

It's that time again: Tuesday, when the WoW servers do their weekly reset and drop offline for a morning of maintenance.

Because I would never do that. Truly. I would not leave you all to your own devices on a Friday afternoon (it would be dangerous, for one). We need excitement! We need adventure! We need questions!

So let’s get to it.

Not anymore. I have vanquished Thursday and arrived with Friday, as we all wait for the weekend to come. (Or dread the holiday shopping to come.)

In the meanwhile, let’s Queue.
