Ever get sad for no real reason?

This is the Queue. We talk about Blizzard games. I’m listening to L7’s Pretend We’re Dead and thinking about the first time I heard it, at a club in Providence named The Living Room. It’s not there anymore. But we’re still here, so let’s do the Queue.

I will never ever get tired of typing that.

A lot of us I saw the Warcraft movie this week.

So last Thursday I had my monthly eye injections, but before that, I had the first of what will likely be three laser treatments. I’m told people don’t want to hear about that, so I’ll just say it was an interesting experience, a lot like having an Exodar Disco inside your eyeballs.

This is the Queue. Nope, still no laser vision. Let’s talk about Blizzard and games and stuff.

It's likely that, due to its runaway success in China, we'll get a Warcraft movie sequel despite it only doing adequate business in the US.

There used to be only one way to get to Stormwind from Darnassus -- take a boat to Menethil, and run across the Wetlands to Dun Morogh and Ironforge.

Finally got to go to Whimsyshire this week — was killing a treasure goblin and boom a portal opened when he died and I ended up turning unicorns into paste. I felt really bad about it until the legendaries started dropping. Then I didn’t feel so bad.

This is The Queue. Let’s talk about Blizzard games.

I played Overwatch during the open beta.

The world of Sanctuary was born out of the desire for renegade demons and angels to find a place where they could be safe from the Eternal Conflict between Heaven and Hell.

Heroes of the Storm is a Blizzard game which is essentially all about crossover between Blizzard's franchises -- you can play Tracer, The Skeleton King, the Lost Vikings, or Jim Raynor and fight Arthas, Thrall, or Tyrael.

The Blade of the Tribes. It’s a pretty awesomely ludicrous weapon. We’re well past the point of plausibility here. I also crafted a War of the Dead, and that’s pretty crazy too. I love Mighty Weapons. I wish WoW had them. Arms Warriors could use them.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk Blizzard. There will be spoilers for Legion here, as well as for World of Warcraft Chronicle.
