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: Time Lapse

The danger of writing the Queue the night before the event is, by the time this goes live on the site you’ll all be neck deep in BlizzCon, but as I write it the con is still 12 hours away from starting.

I’m listening to Time-Lapse by Kings and Creatures and going through yesterday’s Queue, marveling at how much I like the cut of that ‘Mitch’ fellow’s jib. I went and looked up what ‘cut of his jib’ means and it turns out it’s a reference to a kind of sail. Huh.


A CNET retrospective on Blizzard’s 25th Anniversary

If Blizzard were a person, it would have been able to vote since 2009 and able to drink since 2011 (in its home state of California.) At 25, the company is a juggernaut -- Legion is the most popular World of Warcraft expansion in years, Overwatch debuted to huge acclaim, and Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls was one of the most popular expansions to a major RPG ever released.
