Can you believe we’re less than 10 days away from BlizzCon 2023? Can you believe that English doesn’t have a word for a 10-day period (although “decade” has been used for that in the past, it’d be confusing to use nowadays)? Can you believe we still don’t have a schedule for BlizzCon yet*? Can you believe I started off four sentences in a row with “can you believe”?

Anyways, nine days until information overload and my body is ready. And I still think the amount of space dedicated to Overwatch 2 on the BlizzCon map is exorbitant. Could the Upcoming Survival Game be hiding in there? We’ll find out soon enough!

We’re also deep into leak season and even World of Warcraft is getting into the mix posting images that may or may not be meaningful. I personally agree with Wowhead that it’s likely props for the Corridor of Time section, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy speculating.

Anyway, that’s enough text in the intro, let’s answer some questions!

*I’m praying this reverse jinx works

Join us this week as we delve into our obsession with the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty expansion and the lore behind it all.

The Dragonflight incarnation of the Revival Catalyst is one of the more popular features recently added to World of Warcraft, allowing players to convert armor into tier gear for both set bonus and transmog reasons. Patch 10.2 keeps the Catalyst going with the updates from patch 10.1 that removed the clunky charge acquisition mechanic while also changing the start and frequency of the currency acquisition.

Love it or leave it, Diablo 4 is going to grow and has a ton of possibilities for follow-up, and it’s already confirmed that we're getting a Diablo 4 expansion in the next year, likely to be announced in a few weeks at BlizzCon.

If you're playing Diablo 4's Season of Blood, you've no doubt noticed that your 22 new vampiric powers have requirements to power them -- shown simply as symbols -- called Vampiric Pacts.

Halloween is probably my favorite holiday, but as it comes closer, I am quickly hitting an IRL breakpoint. We did take an amazing vacation over fall break a few weeks ago to ride the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, but as we came home, we started looking through the calendar to see what we had coming up. Not even counting recurring things like my daughter’s Saturday art class, that was the last free weekend I’m going to have until literally late January.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’ll answer just as soon as we find a free minute. Currently busy staring into the void, dissociating. You get it.

I'll open by stating that Sire Denathrius had the potential to be an extremely relevant antagonist in World of Warcraft, far beyond just the limited influence he had in the Shadowlands.

Druids may not be getting a new legendary in World of Warcraft patch 10.2, but Druids will be getting some fantastic new shapeshift forms.

It was my birthday! My excellent, wonderful, and extremely special ladyfriend took me out to play arcade games and also to go see a local theater production of Little Shop of Horrors. So y’know it ranks up there in the top three birthdays for sure!

I never knew how different the ending of the stage version was from the movie with Rick Moranis! I gotta say though, there’s something really special about seeing a puppeted plant eat people on stage. That right here is what live theater is about I think — taking something like a man-eating alien plant that can sing and making it feel real for a minute. It didn’t hurt either that the voice actor for the plant absolutely nailed the swings from whiny hungry teenager to an alien menace.

While I keep an extra close eye on all of my plants, it’s time for — The Queue!

Blizzard's next mobile game Warcraft Rumble has been soft-launched in a few countries around the world for a little while now, and having some expert tips in your pocket might help you as you're getting started in the game. I've been lucky enough to live in Canada so I've been playing for about a month now and have learned a few things that may help you in your quest to be the best Rumble-r around when the game officially launches to all eligible Android and iOS devices November 3.
