The clock is ticking -- we'll soon be in patch 8.0 and then, a month or so later, we'll be playing Battle for Azeroth.

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!

It’s been ten years. Actually, it’s been longer than that — the Avast Ye, Admiral! achievement was added to the game on October 14, 2008, but I beat down a lot of pirates and got a hat somewhere in Burning Crusade. However, I never got around to finishing off the Insane achievement, mostly because I didn’t think I had everything required for it. Last week, I finished polishing off Exalted with Ravenholdt — because I like green bars — and as I did, Insane in the Membrane popped up.

I don’t know if I’ll ever use the title, but I appreciate the sentiment regardless. Let’s get to your questions!

The Alterac Pass battleground released in Heroes of the Storm on June 19 to a generally positive reception.

I have over a million gold. I never thought I'd actually ever type that sentence, as I don't really spend a lot of time playing the Auction House.

You know what day it is. That’s right, it’s Liz Queue day, and that means we’re talking about Gnomes.

I'm just going to say that if you didn't hear that headline in Jack Skellington's voice I am disappointed in you.

Guys, World of Warcraft is a teenager.

In an unlikely and frankly, incredibly impressive feat, three players have managed to take on Antorus and clear it with a 3-man Argus kill that has to be seen to be believed.

I’ve been playing a lot of Fortnite lately, and outside of the general “Flavor of the Month” hype, I’m actually really enjoying the way it expands its universe. Recently, after TVs in the game had a mysterious countdown, a rocket launched into the sky in a one-time only event. After what ended up being more than just a rocket launch, an inter-dimensional (?) crack opened in the sky, and it’s been slowly expanding over the past few days, with weird anomalies appearing all over the map.

One player made a seriously amazing “cinematic” video of the event that’s, in my opinion, worth checking out even if you don’t really play. It’s a cool look at how non-WoW games can use events to tell a story and expand their world. Frankly, taking part in the event itself and trying to figure out what it all means is giving me pre-datamining WoW vibes — and damn if that isn’t a feeling I’ve missed.

Anyhow, enough Fortnite. How about we sit down for a Queue?

Game history, especially the history of the development of a game, is essentially like all history everywhere -- it's the story of people.
