Hi there, welcome to the BlizzCon hype train. I would be your conductor, but I’m afraid I need to go drive to an abandoned parking lot and let loose a long scream for about 20 minutes, then drive back to my house, breathless, and try to pretend to be a functional adult before going trick or treating all night in the rain.

I’m not sure who decided to schedule BlizzCon for the day after Halloween this year, but they are not my favorite person right now.

Are you in the lucky pool of people that already received your invitation to the Warcraft 3 Reforged beta?

It's almost time!

Well, I assume Irvine found my blood sweet -- it was sure thirsty enough to get some.

It’s two days to BlizzCon and we’re all on red alert.

Even if you aren't going to BlizzCon, you can still participate and potentially get answers to your burning questions in the WoW Q&A.

In case you hadn't noticed, we're fast approaching the 15th anniversary of World of Warcraft.

So it's more of a metaphor, really, this whole road to BlizzCon.

After a quiet year since the game's announcement (but also a few weeks of some very conspicuous data updates and beta rumors), there's some news for Warcraft 3: Reforged.

No need to adjust your eye holes, dear readers — you really are reading a Tuesday Mitch Queue right now. Why? Because my flight leaves tomorrow morning, and, on top of general exhaustion from that, I didn’t think it would be very smart to write The Queue after an hours-long brewery tour. Sure, it might have been amusing — but it would not have actually been a good idea.

So, with that out of the way and BlizzCon very, very close… let’s Queue.
