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: Yogg-Saron, god of pastries

I am the sugary dream…

The muffin in your midnight cravings…

The cake of a thousand layers!

Cower before my buttery form!

BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF PASTRIES!

This is The Queue, a daily Q&A column where we would like to consume the flesh and blood of an ancient godlike being, as long as it tastes like lava cake.


The Queue: Twinkle Girl

I’m fascinated by the first revealed boss in the upcoming Megaman game, Twinkle Girl. First of all, because it’s a breath of fresh air that they’re no longer confined to just “[Something] Man” (EDIT: or “Woman”) anymore. But second, because she just looks so friendly!

Look at her!

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we absolutely can’t believe Twinkle Girl is gonna be just a disposable villain. Come on now! Playable Twinkle Girl adventures or riot!!!


The Queue: Snek 🐍

I hear sneks are all the hiss lately. Everybody’s got sneks on their brains. Sneks are hogging all the sunlight. They’re the flavor of the month, and it tastes like venom. They just keep slithering their way into every conversation.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where snakes are so hot right now (ambient temperature permitting; give them twenty minutes under a warm rock or something).


The Queue: Perfect Bird Time

The fight between Gun Nun and Alucard from Castlevania is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in recent times. Look it up, it’s canon.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where instead of having tea with our potential allies, we’re forced to ask ourselves the important question: “if I were a bird, how would I react to this information?”


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!
