Announced at BlizzCon last month, this year's charitable donation pet, Brightpaw the Mana Kitty, is now available for purchase through the Battle.net shop.

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

If that headline piqued your interest … I’m sorry to disappoint. There isn’t much scandal or sleaze in today’s Queue. However, I’m attending the Scandal & Sleaze event at the Milwaukee Public Museum tonight and I’m stoked.

Submitter Heilandcoo writes, "On a rainy evening, members of Spectacular Death on Llane (US-A) and its Horde-side sister guild Deathtacular met at Light's Hope Chapel to share a feast of thanksgiving.

With Legion on its way, I'm putting some serious thought into which alt to level first.

While the Legion alpha is live and the datamining is in full swing, very little is playable yet.

It begins! The alpha client is being delved by intrepid dataminers, each lowered down into the depths of the code in rickety buckets, armed with a pickaxe and a headlamp, so that they can chip away at obfuscation and return with gold nuggets of much anticipated information. This is easily one of the most exciting points in the expansion cycle because the possibilities seem so endless. So far the spell changes and talents have been revealed for Protection Paladins, though not yet the artifact weapon talents. Even without a deeper look at the preliminary benefits attached to our artifact sword and board, there is still a whole lode of information that we can pore over. Let’s jump right in and see what’s in store for us so far.

At BlizzCon last month, Blizzard announced that StarCraft 2 is going to roll out a number of stand alone Covert Ops Mission Packs, the first of which will focus on Nova.

Hearthstone's December card back theme is The Slammin' Shaman.

It's that time of the week again.

Funny true story — I had essentially finished this edition of the Queue when a glitch erased all my work.

Much pirate ghosting was heard.

So let’s try this again.
