Blizzard Watch

Ever since Blue Prince -- which was included in this week's games post -- came out yesterday I've been feeling a little feverish.

Ironwood Studios pushed a huge update to Pacific Drive earlier this week, so I'm happy to report that Mel's back, baby.

Ah, to be a tiny rabbit made of rice, dunking a cucumber slice into a mug of steaming hot tea in a cozy breakfast nook.

I've been playing my way through the games I bought during the Steam Spring Sale, and one really stands out.

If you're wondering how the site curse is going, this is a photo I took in the moment as my phone started blowing up with notifications from discords that BlizzCon is back in 2026.  I don't announce my vacations publicly -- that's kind of internet safety 101 -- but somehow, Blizzard always knows.

The highlight of my week has been the Race to World First, not because I care about cutting edge raiding, but because Chef Heidi (who you might remember as the chef for the Philly Fusion) is allowing us behind the scenes into her kitchen on Twitch every day of the race.

While I know we're all in on Blizzard Entertainment around here, when Steam Next Fest started I once again went feral.

I'm not sure I've said that a week was "chill" at any point in recent memory -- I know better than to poke the ghost that haunts this website by now -- but this week seemed particularly, somewhat unexpectedly busy.

Valentine's Day was never really my favorite holiday.

This week around the office was mostly dominated by the World of Warcraft team giving us a teeny tidbit of news about Player Housing.
