Look, I'd be lying if I said we here at Blizzard Watch weren't collectively very excited about Horizon Forbidden West.

Hello and happy Thursday, February 17! I once had a college professor who would put an “h” sound in front of “wh” words (so, hwheat). I didn’t find it annoying or anything, but now any time I decided to put an h sound in front of a w, I think of that professor and that class (it was an Anthropology/Archaeology course about early civilizations, for the curious).

Anyhow, it’s an exciting Thursday so we’re diving right in!

Queue Powers ACTIVATE!

Well, well, well, if it isn't my old pal, Friday.

I’m not sure what it is about this week, but pretty much every day has felt like it should already be Thursday, and now that Thursday’s here, I’m beyond ready for it to just be Fri-day night. Maybe it’s because I’m excited for the weekend, maybe it’s because my PTO starts in 8 days. Regardless, this week has felt slow.

But who cares about speed when you have a Queue?!

It's Friday, y'all!

Every Friday here at Blizzard Watch, we like to take a moment and chat about everything that we're up to in the coming days.

The first quarter of 2022 -- and February in particular -- is packed with game releases.

As I write this, it’s about to hit 2:00 a.m. — I can’t sleep, but I’m at least watching one of my all-time favorites and go-to “can’t sleep” movies, Annihilation. If you’ve never seen it, it’s a SciFi Horror film from the same folks who made Devs and Ex Machina. It’s incredibly good and one of those movies I feel went more under the radar than it deserves. If SciFi Horror is even remotely something that interests you, go check it out!

But before you do… let’s have ourselves a Queue!

Of the many conversations and "what ifs" currently being thrown around after the surprise reveal that Microsoft plans to buy Activision Blizzard, the topic of long-forgotten games coming back from the dead has been one of the more fun ones to think about.

Are you ready for the weekend?
