Hi, welcome to The Queue, where we answer your questions about Blizzard games.

That header image will totally make sense once you get far enough into today’s Queue, I promise.

Let’s rock.

What is the Cowspiracy? They would tell you it's nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing to be concerned about. They hide behind equivocation, telling us not to be concerned. It's nothing, they say. Fanciful nonsense. But read between the lines and the truth soon becomes clear.

When I left my progression raiding guild and settled down into my current 'raid when I can get to it' guild, I realized things had changed for me and World of Warcraft. It's not that I love the game any less -- after eleven years I think it's safe to say that WoW and I are officially a thing -- but I just finally lost my taste for what it takes to raid content at the highest level the game offers.

With Legacy of the Void getting closer, we have a nice preview of the balance changes to the Starcraft II expansion from the folks at Blizzard.

The barbarians of Sanctuary are called this by those who do not understand them or their ancient culture, which was a casualty of the schemes of Baal and the actions of Tyrael. In destroying the Worldstone, they destroyed Mount Arreat and with it the very vigil that the barbarians maintained for countless eons.

Today’s Queue is brought to you by our very own Megan O’Neill, who asked me a question I wanted to answer. Since this was a right helpful thing for her to have done, I will now do the answering.

I'm always surprised at how some things are almost traditions in World of Warcraft, and the most surprising (to me) is the Mage vs. Warlock hate. Even more so than the Alliance/Horde rivalry and that one's pretty weird, if you think about it -- how deep the divide between players of a video game based entirely on what color the background for their faction is, ultimately.

Warcraft's lower levels can be a bit uneven to advance through: I picked up a low-level warrior, kitted her out in heirlooms, and burned through Elwynn and Westfall to get a feel for the Fury spec at low levels.

I’m not going to, because this is The Queue, Blizzard Watch’s own column about the various Blizzard games we all play, and I’m here to talk about those games with you via answering your questions. So far as I know, none of you have asked about Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs, and it’s not a Blizzard game, so I really shouldn’t talk about it here.

But I really, really want to. I want to write 600 words about how the dinosaurs would totally win. But I’m not going to.

But they totally would.

So, I ask you - play any old school Blizzard games? Maybe Blackthorne or Lost Vikings or even The Death and Return of Superman, which was totally a Blizzard game?
