This Wednesday, I went in for my eye injections and I had a major panic attack. It was astonishingly debilitating and I’m just now getting back into some sort of semblance of functionality. The constant eye pain didn’t help. So that’s been my week, I hope yours was better.

Ironically, I haven’t gotten to play WoW Classic at all. My wife played some — we only got the one Virtual Ticket this year, due to financial constraints — and then retreated back into current WoW, where Hunters don’t have deadspots anymore. I’m told it seemed pretty faithful to the old game to her.

Let’s talk Blizzard games, shall we?

I'll be up front and admit I am not likely going to play Diablo Immortal.

This BlizzCon, our delightful Dan O'Halloran and malefic Mitch "Mitch" Mitchell sat down with Blizzard's Alex Afrasiabi (World of Warcraft's Senior Creative Director) and Patrick Dawson (Technical Director) and chatted about World of Warcraft.

If you're wondering about WoW Classic as an experience -- specifically, if you're wondering what's changed between then and now, and what will be different in WoW Classic as compared and contrasted to the game as it was when patch 1.12 came out -- the Restoring History: Creating WoW Classic answered a lot of those kind of questions.

Imagine a Diablo game set in a persistent world, with a capital city and actual dungeons for parties of adventurers to explore.

We know that Patch 8.1 is coming out on December 11th, just four days after my birthday.

We've all been waiting for the Zandalari Trolls and Kul Tiran Humans as playable Allied Races since before Battle for Azeroth launched.

During the BlizzCon 2018 opening ceremonies, Pete Stillwell of Blizzard's Classic Games department didn't waste any time in stepping up and delivering a game people have been salivating for and about for years and years.

Speaking during the opening ceremonies of BlizzCon, World of Warcraft's new executive producer John Hight announced several new facts about WoW Classic.

BlizzCon is always one of those moments that kind of erases the normal scheduling in my head, which is why I completely forgot I still have to write the Queue until like just now. Just now is like an hour before it’s supposed to go live.

Anyway, let’s chat. I’m not panicking, you’re panicking.
