Everyone runs their game differently, and I don't mean to even try and tell you this is the way to be a game master/DM/whatever term you use for the person who runs the game here.

It had to end. It had to end. I have too many screenshots of my various Warriors I wasn’t going to get to use for a Queue header because of that Chaddius. It had to end. I was getting the shakes from not showing off my latest shirtless transmog!

It had to end, and it has, the only way it could.

This is the Queue. Chaddius has left the building.

This week on the Blizzard Watch Podcast, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez discuss what announcements they expect to see at next month's BlizzConline 2021, if skipping the leveling campaign in WoW Shadowlands for an alt is worth it, and what to do with all of those Blizzard CDs, figurines, and books piling up at home.

In the past, I’ve called the pet battle system the best thing World of Warcraft ever added, because of its completely optional nature.

It seems like the Winter Wonderland only just melted away, but Overwatch is already back in business with a new event.

In the latest Overwatch Developer Update video, a clean-shaven Jeff Kaplan discussed an upcoming feature for Overwatch matchmaking called the Priority Pass.

It feels like Shadowlands has really lost the thread on the idea of all tanks being roughly equivalent.

We are the Chaddius. You will be assimilated. You will be provided with a nice pool to relax at, and a pair of kickin’ sunglasses.

Resistance is futile.

The takeaway I have from playing World of Warcraft and experiencing its story over the past decade -- from Cataclysm to Mists and then the Warlords/Legion/Battle for Azeroth years, and finally exploring the content of Shadowlands -- is that in many ways WoW feels to me much like a season of a streamed TV series like The Witcher or The Boys, not in terms of the story it is telling, but in how that story is told.

I really expected I would approach Shadowlands leveling in a systematic way, using the Threads of Fate system to pop all of my alts to max level as fast as possible, and I was entirely and completely wrong about this.
