Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — 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.

The Queue: Foxes

by Matthew Rossi on December 14, 2018 at 12:00pm @MatthewWRossi

I think the new fox mount is a touch better than the older one. But, being that I myself am ancient as the dawn, I figure I’ll stick with the older one.

I have no opinion on vegan tacos because I don’t like tacos.

We already covered that players are now able to get both the Home and Away Overwatch League skins and will be able to do so for the new teams as soon as they are available, and that's pretty rad.

Azerite Knowledge will not increase until January 22nd

by Matthew Rossi on December 13, 2018 at 10:00am @MatthewWRossi

If you logged in when patch 8.1 went live and noticed that Artifact Knowledge hadn't gone up like it has since Battle for Azeroth launched, you're not alone --and it's not a bug or a mistake.

Winter Wonderland adds Overwatch League Away skins

by Matthew Rossi on December 12, 2018 at 2:00pm @MatthewWRossi

So, if you love watching the Overwatch League but feel like the Away skins that teams wear when playing on another team's home turf are cleaner and work better -- and I admit, there's something elegant about the white look with the accents of the team colors that I really like -- you'll be pleased to know that they're now available in Overwatch. The new skins have been added to the various team skins already in game, so if you've already bought, as an example, the Boston Uprising skins, you don't have to do anything else.
