Matthew Rossi

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: Me and Mrs. Kul Tiras

by Matthew Rossi on February 23, 2018 at 12:00pm @MatthewWRossi

So yeah, the Battle for Azeroth alpha saw a new build last night. New zones opened up, a new dungeon, you can roll up an Allied Race now — that’s me up there as a Lightforged Draenei, for example — they made some changes to talents including giving Fury Impending Victory as a talent which means you’ll likely never take Storm Bolt again outside of raiding, and so I spent the night mucking about.

I love the design of Kul Tirans.

Let’s do that Queue, everybody.
