The good boi you see above is Rowie (R”ow”-ie not R”oh”-ie). My family got this cat when I was barely in junior high, and he had his 18th birthday just last December. Even though he was technically our second cat, he was the first one that I really bonded with. He’d been really attached to my sister, so after she passed, it was really humbling to see how much he clearly had missed me every time I was able to come home from college for a few days. He’s kept me company through many a gaming session, and he’s the cat that made me realize just how chatty and personable cats can be.

Unfortunately — and you may have guessed this by now — we just found out we’re going to have to say goodbye to him very soon. I could probably write a whole post on him, but to spare you any further sadness, I’ll just say this: He’s been a very good kitty, and I’m going to really miss him <3

Anyhow, last week’s outlook of “it can only get better” is not holding up too well. Let’s distract ourselves with a Queue.

This weekend marked a momentous occasion, both for the Blizzardverse and gaming in general: Our very first real (public) look at Diablo 4.

We here at Team Blizzard Watch play a nice variety of titles across the Blizzardverse.

Without going into specifics, this has been a very long year already. The upside(?) is that that hopefully means the rest of the year only gets better. I’m going to hold onto that belief and give extra offerings to Yogg to help make that happen.

In the meantime, here’s a Queue.

After much anticipation, the newest King Salmonid has arrived in Splatoon 3. The Horrorboros, as it’s known, is apparently a flying serpent-like boss that I’m sure will wreck face. To celebrate, there’s yet another Big Run happening this weekend! What’s Big Run? It’s basically the Salmon Run (i.e., horde mode) version of a Splatfest. Full weekend long. Unique map. End-of-event rewards.

I am definitely looking forward to it.

Of course, that’s Splatsville. This is The Queue.

I have to admit, when I first read the news that Blizzard was introducing the Trading Post to WoW, my instinct was to fear the worst.

Want to see what Kiriko's Mythic and Legendary skins look like?

While Mercy doesn't have her own Mythic skin (yet), we have you covered with a full gallery of every Mercy Legendary skin in Overwatch 2.

Ah, Friday.

I’ll be heading out of town for a concert this weekend and, suffice it to say, I’m pretty excited. Frankly, I’m expecting tears at some point or another.

But that’s this weekend and right now is right now. And right now is…

The Queue.
