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.

Breakfast Topic: I bleed gold

by Matthew Rossi on March 6, 2015 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

When I hit level 100 I had over 50k gold. I know, that's nothing, some of you are gold capped, but for me it was the best nest egg I've ever had going into an expansion. It's all gone now.

Heroes of the Storm isn't even out of beta yet and I can't go a night without someone talking to me about playing it, so it's no surprise that the hype machine for the game is rolling on strong.

The elusive Voidtalon of the Dark Star mount and how to find it

by Matthew Rossi on March 5, 2015 at 2:00pm @MatthewWRossi

So, last week when patch 6.1 dropped, one of the secrets it contained was the mysterious Voidtalon of the Dark Star mount. We were told precious little about this mount - we didn't know where it could be found or what you had to do to find it. Well, as players are wont to do, they rolled up their sleeves and got to exploring Draenor, and reports are starting to trickle in.

Breakfast Topic: Taking a day off from WoW

by Matthew Rossi on March 3, 2015 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi

It's no secret that I've been playing a lot more lately: leveling up a host of warriors, getting geared up, doing some raiding. It's been fun. But one thing I really hate is the feeling of compulsion, that I have to log on to get my followers all set doing missions, clean out my mine, go trap some critters for savage blood, etc.

The Queue: The dress is a lie

by Matthew Rossi on February 27, 2015 at 12:00pm @MatthewWRossi

Guys, I seriously have zero idea what’s going on with this dress thing or why you keep asking me on twitter (@matthewwrossi if you’re curious) about what color it is. I play a warrior. I don’t wear dresses. As far as I’m concerned, they’re all a trick of GlaDOS.
