What a week!

Happy Friday, Watchers!

Friday is a time of eternal flux, eternal complexity. Let us question it.

Join us as we discuss Plunderstorm, the surprise 60-person Battle Royale mode Blizzard just dropped for WoW (but not for WoW, it’s a thing.) We also cover our varying levels of excitement and disappointment over the new Hero specializations revealed for The War Within, wax nostalgic for the new 10th anniversary Hearthstone cards referencing the game’s past, and wrap up with the question we’ve been asking ourselves a lot lately, "Does Overwatch even know what it's trying to be anymore?"

Are you a fan of Taivan, the best boy?

I play a lot of games and I am always hitting moments I completely find compelling or fun or interesting. And then, once I am done playing them — and usually much later, hours or days later — I realize that I should have screenshotted or recorded it. By then, however, I’ve moved way past it, and going back would either be a process of hours of gameplay from an old save, or with games like Diablo 4, literally starting the whole game over again.

So anyway, I had a whole lot of Baldur’s Gate 3 stuff I was gonna talk about, but then I realized I forgot to take the SS of me talking to an angry bird, so here we are.

Diablo 4 is about to upend itemization with a new philosophy that stresses quality over quantity.

This is Gus Ferrari, and I need you riding shotgun as we head to Tasty Town for the Hearthstone A Whizbang Recipe Tavern Brawl.

I am rapidly becoming convinced that I am the most contrary human being to exist, because the more people complain about Diablo 4 Season 3, the more I seem to be loving it.

We're adding a couple of new writers to the Blizzard Watch team and you may be just the person we're looking for!
