I recently realized that if I play World of Warcraft for more than two hours, I start to fade out, and I stop paying super close attention to what I'm doing.

In a way, we have a Blizzard North again.

Two new heroes have joined the Hearthstone Battlegrounds roster!

We can't all be like Chaddius, relaxing by a hot spring, sipping drinks -- some of us are in parts of the world where it is so cold your face hurts just being outside, so a warming bowl of soup that really sticks to your ribs is a way of life.

Shriekwing? More like Death-wing, amirite? Wait…

My raid just got our first Mythic Shriekwing kill and it feels pretty great. We’ve spent maybe a little more time in lower difficulties getting gear than we necessarily needed, but now we’re getting some real progress! After Shriek we went and took a look at the Huntsman and his Dogs, and they wound up taking us for a walk. I think we’ll be able to get it with a bit more practice, but it was nice seeing that it wasn’t a gigantic step up in difficulty from Shriek. The funniest part to me is that both Mythic Shriekwing and Huntsman are supposedly easier than Heroic Denathrius. So we’ve started in on Mythic without putting the final nail in his coffin.

While I read up on some strategies for the next few bosses, it’s time for — The Queue.

Many people would argue that Hearthstone an expensive game.

I'm sorry, but 18 floors of Torghast are just too many floors of Torghast for me.

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.
