Maybe the polite word is 'borrowing' but whatever, y'all know what I mean.

You know what, I really think things like cosplay and the like are cool.

This week the esports world was mostly dominated by hype for the Intel Extreme Masters tournaments, going on next weekend.

The practice of magic is something that's always been in place in Warcraft.

It’s a very cool find. I’m more excited about the recent news story that Sue, the famed Tyrannosaur fossil, might turn out to have been a male T-Rex because that would have implications for the upper limit on T-Rex size (females were bigger than males in T-Rex, so if Sue’s a male, that means there would almost have to be a bigger T-Rex out there somewhere not yet found). But the tail, with its perfectly preserved feather structure, is likely a member of the Coelurosauria (all dinosaurs more closely related to birds than carnosaurs were in this group) which means it’s a T-Rex relative.

Yes, T-Rex was a Coelurosaur, not a Carnosaur. Carnosaurs were more closely related to Allosaurus than birds, and T-Rex (despite its looks and predatory nature) was pretty darn close to birds. They may not have looked like giant rock doves, but they had a host of birdlike features. And one thing that little fossil tail might end up telling us is exactly how likely it is that they had feathers, at least in adolescence.

None of this is about World of Warcraft in the slightest, but y’all were going to ask me about it anyway. So there you go. Maybe someday I’ll do another dinosaur Queue.

I'm not a serious enough Heroes of the Storm player to understand what's going on when I watch Heroes esports matches.

Welcome to episode 97 of Blizzard Watch's podcast!

In a press release this morning, Blizzard announced the creation of a new book-publishing label.

Today, we don't know what the leveling team will be up to -- but it's Rossi's birthday (or technically, the day after Rossi's birthday), so we're going to let him call the shots.

Today, Heroes of the Storm Game Director Dustin Browder announced he's departing Heroes to join a new project at Blizzard Entertainment.
