The Queue: Game time

Some people have been talking about Overwatch as a fighting game, but clearly, the thing that should get new life as a fighting game is ultra popular Heroes of the Storm! 

It’s even got the first two proof-of-concept screenshots right in the arcades of Overwatch. I can’t think of a better way for Blizzard to enter the modern fighting game sphere than by taking all of their best characters and making them fight each other. The best part is that by not limiting yourself to just Overwatch you can have so many more of those fun characters to play with!

While I practice more of Kael’thas’ mid-range air juggle combos, it’s time for — The Queue!


Blizzard Watch Podcast: Haven’t we seen this WoW story before?

Special guests Cory Taylor and Liz Patt join us as we discuss how the story of the newest War Within cinematic feels a little too familiar, where exactly Warcraft Rumble went wrong, and how the Radiant Echoes pre-patch event feels like we’re all doing the time warp again (spoiler: it’s just a jump to the left.) To prove we aren’t all doom and gloom and actually love games (no really), we also cover the pleasant surprises in Diablo 4 Season 5, the potential of the new dev team dedicated to working on AA games using Blizzard properties, and how Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8 will be giving us the Old God-infused baked goods we didn’t know we needed in our lives.

I’m not good at grief. I’ve lost pets before — in my time writing here I lost both Grim and Aurora. The same stabbing pain, the heartbreak of it, never really gets any easier.

She was my little girl. She played WoW, and even healed a raid once — and did a better job than I did, for that matter. I love her and I’ll miss her. She fought and rode the Roomba, she loved basking in the sunlight, she was brave enough to yell at a cop for daring to come into her house.

Goodbye, little sun shadow.
