With Starcraft Remastered coming out next week, it seemed appropriate to look back at the setting as a whole.

Look, I’m really playing a ton of Diablo 3 right now. I’ll be back in WoW as soon as 7.3 drops, but until it does, I simply do not care about it at all. And I’m fine with that. D3 is absolutely holding my attention and the only reason I’m not Paragon 300 or more on my Seasonal Hero is because I don’t want to pull ahead of my wife who has been too sick to play this week, so I’m leveling some alts. My Crusader and my Monk are getting some love.

But come on, for me it’s always about the Barbarian and her OP for Torment VII Whirlwind build. I’m actually wearing the Immortal King helm, belt and using the Boulder Breaker so I can hit 4 piece IK and 6 piece Wastes (I have a ring that lets me hit a set bonus with 1 less piece, so I can hit those with 3 IK and 5 Wastes pieces) and it is sweet to have my Ancients always around while Whirlwinding for 800% damage and a ton of Fury.

Anyway, let’s talk Blizzard and games.

I am probably pretty unusual in this because I really don't want anything like a new expansion announced at Gamescom.

We're in that part of Legion's life cycle when we begin speculating on what's next, and more importantly, when we'll find out.

Patch 7.3 is chockablock with content, including several huge lore bombs that show players things they've wanted to see in-game forever.

We all play Blizzard's games here -- that's why we're reading (and in my case, writing for) a website about said games.

If you're participating in Heroes of the Storm's ranked Season 2, it's time to start wrapping things up.

If you've been waiting patiently for your chance take out Kil'jaeden, but aren't in a raiding guild, you can now rest easy.

Last week, we talked about Arthas' fall from grace.

I’m still having a lot of fun on my WoW vacation playing Diablo 3. I know as soon as 7.3 drops I’m back to Azeroth, if only to immediately go to Argus, but until them I’m excitedly killing stuff with a big honking weapon and a lot of twirling.

A lot of people tell me that Barb is the weakest class in Diablo 3, and for all I know it may be true. It’s certainly disheartening to see so much talk about it. But with the complete Wrath of the Wastes set, my WW hits for 800% damage and I have enough Life on Hit and Life per Fury Spent to basically twirl my way through just about anything. I don’t have either the Istvan or Bul-Kathos swords yet, but in the meantime my Ancient Legendary is doing pretty solid damage and when I need to generate Fury (which isn’t often because my WW generates Fury for every target it hits) I have Frenzy with the legendary power of activating every single Frenzy rune at once, so yeah, I’m having a ball.

Frankly, I feel like I’m going to be sad when I have to go back to my Warrior after playing this ballerina of death.

Anyway, it’s the Queue. Let’s talk Blizzard.
