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: I need a new Diablo expansion

Maybe I’m just weird, but I’m very very very serious about wanting another Diablo 3 expansion. I want some of the things left unresolved resolved, Blizzard!

Did Leah’s soul end up trapped in the Burning Hells? If so, when do we get to go save her? What happened to her was the kind of injustice heroes are supposed to do something about, and after both her grandfather and father got screwed over by Diablo, it’s about time someone in that family caught a break.

Anyway, this is The Queue. I want a new expansion, or even news about Diablo 4. Don’t let this franchise wait another 9 years or so like you did between Diablo 2 and 3.

 


The Queue: Therizinosaurus

Also known as Therizinosaurus cheloniformis this species is one of the most fascinating and unique of the known dinosaurs. The name means reaping lizard or scythe lizard and much like the other members of its family, it was likely either a heavily herbivorous omnivore or an outright herbivore. Therizinosaurus was the largest (to date) of its family, and possessed six foot long claws on its forelimbs. It walked upright on two legs like other theropods but presented a more rearing posture in order to make use of those massive claws (they far exceeded its smallish head in size).

This has nothing to do with Blizzard or its games. I just love dinosaurs. Anyway, let’s talk about those games. Or dinosaurs. Hey, Blizz, put a dinosaur into Overwatch. Preferably one with power armor. I also like power armor.
