Guys, for this Queue, I’m gonna say have at it, go nuts talking about BlizzCon. Whatever you want. Have fun, speculate, whatever. I’m writing the Sunday one anyway, so no worries. It’s the Queue, BlizzCon is happening, let’s roll.

Well, we didn't get a Diablo 4 announcement, but we did get some news.

If, like me, you're a little sad that Varian Wrynn isn't around in World of Warcraft anymore, well, now you can catch up with the big lug.

It's finally happening -- after months of an ARG and tons of teasers, we finally have our first look at Sombra, courtesy of Infiltration, a new Overwatch trailer.

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.

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.

It’s the Queue. Everybody dance!

So BlizzCon is this Friday and I published my second novel this week. I’m not getting a lot of sleep is what I’m saying.

So, you've been playing WoW for a while, or maybe you just started and Return to Karazhan is your first exposure to good ol' Moroes, the poor guy.

It feels to me like the player base has fractured into two groups.

The Titan-Forged left a huge impact on the history of Azeroth.
