So it's more of a metaphor, really, this whole road to BlizzCon.

After a quiet year since the game's announcement (but also a few weeks of some very conspicuous data updates and beta rumors), there's some news for Warcraft 3: Reforged.

No need to adjust your eye holes, dear readers — you really are reading a Tuesday Mitch Queue right now. Why? Because my flight leaves tomorrow morning, and, on top of general exhaustion from that, I didn’t think it would be very smart to write The Queue after an hours-long brewery tour. Sure, it might have been amusing — but it would not have actually been a good idea.

So, with that out of the way and BlizzCon very, very close… let’s Queue.

Since I am now firmly of the opinion that Diablo 4 is going to be announced at this BlizzCon -- and that I am salivating to learn what the story is going to be -- I thought it would be cool if you guys told me what you think.

Every year, I dress up as Rhonin.

I haven't finished The Outer Worlds, and that's because I have a lot of stuff to do before I fly out to California this week and so this is less a full review and more a preview -- for full disclosure I'm up to level 19 or so and stuck in pretty deep into the world Monarch, or Terra 1, after starting out on Terra 2 and the Groundbreaker.

With BlizzCon less than a week away, lots of people from all over the world will be descending on southern California ready to party but may be uneducated on how to do so safely, whether it's making sure they don't take an eye off their drink, or how to obtain less widely-offered substances.

We'd like to think Bolvar is doing fine as the Lich King, but a closer look at the Death Knight campaign reveals some peculiar similarities, and raises some disturbing questions.

Hearthstone's original inspiration came from World of Warcraft.

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Number one, I’m very excited that Deathwing has finally made it to Heroes of the Storm. Number two, can we just talk about those flame-engulfed wings? I feel like if that had come flying at me in Cataclysm, I would’ve been a little more terrified. I mean, he set the zone on fire when he did his flyby and that was terrifying enough, but if it’d been accompanied by literal beating flame that would’ve been really cool.

Or, well, not cool. Hot. You know what I mean. I know what you mean, because I’m here to answer your questions. Let’s get to that!
