So after a weekend of laborious effort, my fourth book and first novel is up on Amazon. It was a long time coming — some of the characters from this book have been appearing in short stories and drafts I’ve been working on since 1994. It’s a bit of a love letter to Rhode Island, to the obsessions of my youth — comic books, Lovecraft, 80’s cartoons — and I’m hopeful at least some of you will enjoy it.

But amazingly enough, we’re not here to talk about me. I know, right? I guess we’ll have to talk about Blizzard and the games said company makes. Overwatch is almost out, guys.

Darwyn Cooke died on May 14th, 2016.

I'm writing this column purely from a Warrior standpoint, and purely as someone who has tanked on a Warrior and Death Knight.

With Legion, we'll be getting Artifact Weapons of untold power and storied histories.

My leveling stream DK’s transmog game is on point and I’m very happy with it. We hit level 90 and started the Tanaan quests and man, I’m just thrilled with how I look. Firelands DK tier, Dragon Soul belt, Ashkandi, it’s a very matching look all told. I’m looking forward to the Wardrobe so that I can access all the 2h weapons in my various Warrior alts bags.

Listening to Narrow Escape by Celldweller. Reading your questions. Trying to answer some. This is the Queue. Let’s rock.

I have a beard! I’m grumpy all the time! I love dinosaurs and Warriors! I pretend to be old video game characters and talk to pixelated swords!

This is the Queue. Let’s all pretend there could really be someone as ridiculous as Matthew Rossi and watch him answer some questions about Blizzard games.

World of Warcraft has a host of characters, some with massive importance to the story of the game, like King Varian Wrynn or Sylvanas Windrunner, Banshee Queen of the Forsaken.

Technically Ashkandi communicates entirely through stabbing, chopping, mashing and otherwise crushing foes beneath its mighty blade. I will be translating for it.

This is the Queue. Ashkandi awaits your questions.

So my wife and I were doing the Diablo 3 as we do, and a set piece dropped while we were fighting what appeared to be every single demon in existence.

So this is the Tavern Queue, which is like The Queue, only not even tangentially about Blizzard games.
