If you somehow read the title and thought this post wouldn't contain spoilers for the end of the War Campaign, I have some bad news for you: This post will contain spoilers for the end of the War Campaign.

Today, after a somewhat surprising announcement Friday evening, patch 8.2.5 hits World of Warcraft servers.

Long sigh.

Here’s a fun one to ponder while y’all read over this: If The Queue were turned into a simulator-style game, what would it look like? I think the characters you could play as would be fairly obvious, but would there be bonus characters? How would one unlock Jovan? And how would you be scored? What a fun concept for everyone to think on!

While you do that, let’s Queue.

A lot of things have changed over World of Warcraft's nearly 15-year history.

I’m just gonna dive right in today.

When it comes to World of Warcraft, it's not uncommon for players to talk about Blizzard scrapping the whole "let's make an expansion" thing in favor of simply releasing a "WoW 2" instead.

Today is Day 12 of having a headache. It gets immeasurably painful when I do any sort of physical activity and turns into a dull, regular headache the rest of the time. It’s been real fun. But hey, the doctors insist I’m not dying, so there is that.

Anyhow, that’s as clever an intro as you’re gonna get from me today. Let’s Queue.

Let me get this out of the way: There is no indication that Blizzard is going to add Nintendo-themed skins to Overwatch, nor do I think it's likely to happen at any point in the future.

Whether you played in vanilla WoW and knew what to expect with WoW Classic or if you simply heard stories from those players and went into WoW Classic with a specific mindset, there's probably some aspect of Classic that's caught you off guard.
