If you've been paying attention, the road to WoW Classic has been moving pretty fast -- it's been roughly a week since the August 26/27 release date was announced and the beta test started in earnest a day later.

One of the speculative posts I saw online in the wake of last week's tease by J.

I love movies.

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!

A stroll around Boralus had me stumbling upon an auction that brought back a flood of memories. Who here remembers the original Haunted Memento? Originally introduced during the Scourge Invasion event that heralded the arrival of Naxxramas in patch 1.11, it gave players the Haunted buff, which would cause a Scourge Haunt to follow you around. You could also throw it to other players, which would immediately trigger the /cower animation on them. In patch 6.0, it was nerfed to trigger a random 15 second haunting instead of a constant ghostly companion. Why? Weirdly enough, because the ghost was the number one source of creature spawns in the game, and it was causing server performance degradation.

That’s a powerful ghost. Let’s get to your questions!

I personally love when Diablo 3 does a new Season -- it gives me an excuse to create a new alt and/or rebirth one of my current Barbarians.

Do not read this post or its comments if you don't want spoilers for the Game of Thrones series finale.  It was never going to be easy to end Game of Thrones.

Amazingly, my inner paleontology nerd gets excited about things that aren't dinosaurs.

Riot Games refused to budge in the wake of the employee walkout held earlier this month in protest of toxic work conditions and the company's forced arbitration agreement.

Between the WoW Classic beta (so far, surprisingly bug free) and Diablo 3 starting Season 17 today, it’s a busy day. What do y’all want to talk about?

Also, today we learn that I can apparently talk at length about polearms.

Oh, wow, that’s a really bad pun.

I have in the past been very committed to the idea of Diablo 4.
