The Queue: Adorable goslings
Welcome back to The Queue, where the staff here at Blizzard Watch answer your questions about Blizzard games, and occasionally show you pictures of adorable baby geese. Did you know that a baby goose is called a gosling? If not, now you do. Come, let us speak of the games of Blizzard.
Know Your Lore: The Burning Hells
From this whirling nightmare, this bloated ruin of the first evil's corpse crawled the demons. The Burning Hells could in a real sense be said to be the blackened corpse of Tathemet itself, and at the center of the Hells lies the Black Abyss, from which rose the Great Evils. Essentially birthed from the seven heads of Tathemet, there were the three Primes -- Mephisto, Baal and Diablo -- and the four Lessers.
Breakfast Topic: Sometimes I like to be alone
World of Warcraft is by definition a game that demands a certain level of socialization to get certain content - if you want to run dungeons or raid, you're going to need to be able to get along with groups of people. Even LFR or random battlegrounds, you queue alone, but you play with people. So for me, this expansion, I've done a lot more alt leveling than I ever did before, because there are times that I just want to be alone
Breakfast Topic: The community still surprises me
I've met people via World of Warcraft that I consider my friends, even years after we played together. People who I've shared with and had them share with me, because that's the secret of WoW - it's the people.

Diablo 3 players fear coming Cowspiracy
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.
Breakfast Topic: Every new beginning
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.

Know Your Lore: Bul-Kathos and Diablo’s Barbarians
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.
