Phil Xavier

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.


The Queue: Together We Ride

Together, we ride. We go to some ranch and we rent some horses for two hours or something, I don’t know. We’ll figure this out.

This is The Queue, our daily column where if Qs were horses and As were also horses, we’d ride them! Together!


The Queue: God Shattering Star

It’s kinda nice when the main villain in an epic fantasy story is just some human bandit. Strong enough to kill ancient dragons, make legendary weapons out of their bones, and invite his closest friends to drink their magical blood, sure, but still some human bandit!

Who sings his own final boss theme in a tenor voice.

This is The Queue, your daily Q&A column where we really should replay that game for the third time as we wait for the sequel to come out in just over a month.


The Queue: We hunger for vengeance!

If you ask a WoW player, Bloodmage Thalnos (or Thalnos the Soulrender) is just a barely-remembered boss in the Scarlet Monastery, not particularly noteworthy. Ask a Hearthstone player, though, and you might just get a declaration of love for one of the most iconic cards that have ever graced the game, and possibly the only card to remain unchanged, and still playable, since the game’s inception.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we want more! More souls!


The Queue: Fishing and the Void

Fishing is the favorite activity for void creatures, as well as non-void creatures who decide to dabble in the void, like Void Elves, Shadow Priests, or Devourer Demon Hunters. It is said that the things that lurk in the bottom are constantly calling out to like-minded individuals, attempting to lure them closer, to pull them in. Somewhere in the depths, the Fish of N’Zoth watches and waits.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where when we don’t have a clear theme for the week, we just make something up on the spot.
