Seriously, I’m not saying my Night Elf Warrior is in love with Jarod Shadowsong.

I don’t have to because look at the two of them. I don’t think she could be more obvious if she said “Hiiiiii, Jaaaaarod” every time she saw him. Which she probably does.

Anyway, this is the Queue. I had a pretty hectic week launching the new book. Played some D3, spent some time failing to log into WoW today. What’ve y’all been up to?

Gorillas. In. Space. They'll be coming to Overwatch June 20.

Blizzard is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to, and I'm quoting here, "restore [Starcraft, Warcraft III and Diablo 2] to glory." This is in line with a similar job posting from 2015, and Blizzard has been talking about restoring these games in the same basic language for years.

The facts are simple.

We know from the Reflections comic that Tracer is a lesbian in a relationship with a woman named Emily, which is a pretty awesome step for representation by Blizzard.

Where Light and Void clash, chaos is born: the chaos of the Twisting Nether, birthplace of the Fel.

Jeff from the Overwatch Team (also known as Game Director Jeff Kaplan) has heard your concerns over Mystery Heroes and boldly answered.

The new class mounts tend to work in a certain way: You finish the long campaign to open the Tomb of Sargeras, you are challenged to complete some sort of event, and when you're done you attain a mount.

I just want to make sure you understand that Overwatch's Lead Writer wrote that joke. That's right -- Michael Chu himself, the man, the myth, the mind behind the entire game, just kicked you in the gut with a dad joke on the level of Hi, stunned readers, I'm dad.

Back in the day I raided in AQ 40 when it was the hot new raid and we’d just mastered writing. One of the things that was weird and cool about that raid was, C’thun (the Old God who was the big boss of the raid) would randomly whisper things like Your heart will explode or your friends will abandon you to your raid. Now, my wife Julian used to play in the same room as I did, and as a result often C’thun would whisper to her and then to me within a second or so. As a result, the whispers would get mangled together, and we’d often hear Your heart will abandon you or your friends will explode, which to our mind was both every bit as creepy and also a touch more bizarre as threats go.

Your Heart Will Abandon You sounds like a 70’s country song to me.

Anyway, this is the Queue. My new book is out, if you like weird Lovecraftian monsters making friends explode. Even if you don’t.
