Okay, yeah, I’m not doing any dinosaur related stuff in this Queue either. Look, I’m playing WoW, doing some raiding (hit both heroic Highmaul and normal BRF this week) and also doing some Diablo III. Basically, I’m playing a lot of Blizzard games and I haven’t really had the time to go dig up any new dinosaur facts lately, plus it’s always been more of a personal pleasure than anything you guys really wanted. If I’m wrong, you have this edition of The Queue to make your case for dinosaurs.

I’m also sad about Terry Pratchett.

Enough of this, let’s talk about your questions.

If you're the kind of person who bakes things, why not bake up something Hearthstone related for the game's birthday?

Player-run Armies of Azeroth project seeks to recreate Warcraft III entirely within the Starcraft II engine.

If you're not already excited for the upcoming 'Warcraft' movie (seriously, check out that cast, that's impressive) then maybe Duncan Jones can change your mind. He's talking post production and the film, and especially the work of Daniel Wu as Gul'dan.

All PvP damage has been reduced by 10% via hotfix, according to @WarcraftDevs Twitter.

The 2014 Blizzard Stream Awards are here, and Blizzard wants your help in determining who wins.

One of the biggest (in terms of success) raid guilds in the world has decided to step back. Blood Legion, a US raiding guild on the Illidan server, has decided to scale back their raiding hours.

I run one or two dungeons a day. I used to run more, but once my gear got better than anything in them, it wasn't really worth the effort beyond the dose of garrison resources, and now I'm mostly running that second one out of pure stubbornness.

So far, we seem to be taking part in a weirdly cyclical version of history, where things happen out of place and out of order from the timeline we know. But there's an undercurrent of familiarity, as if time was attempting to reassert itself.

Hi. Welcome to The Queue, where Blizzard Watch answers your questions. Today The Queue is under the control of Matthew Rossi (@matthewwrossi) and here we go.

So last night was my first Blackrock Foundry run, assuming you don’t count LFR (which I’m not) and it was interesting. My DPS went from really bad to sorta okay once I got two Taner’s Terrible Spine‘s off of Gruul. Expect a warrior column about raiding as Single-Minded Fury soon. It’s definitely interesting to gear switch from the days of 25 man heroic raiding to the new normal/heroic flex system – I doubt I’ll even look at mythic this expansion, and I’m fine with that. Getting my alt (who I guess is now my main?) geared up for raiding and getting him into BRF was interesting, it feels a lot like I just started playing WoW after a long break, although I didn’t actually take much of a break.

Anyway, on to your questions.
