I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. This was the first time Katie and I had the pleasure and honor of spending it with Max, our newborn. He came five weeks early and had some initial problems, and I thought the happiest day of my life would be when he was discharged from the NICU. I was mistaken though — it was the day after Christmas (when his grandparents got him an actual dragon mount), and we sat and listened to Puff the Magic Dragon. He calmed, the cat jumped up to snuggle with us, and as I had done 35-years ago, we were transported to the land of Honalee.

Music, imagination, fantasy, and storytelling are such a huge part of our lives for those of us reading these words, I couldn’t help but become awash in emotion as I realized we never really grew up — that we’re all Jackie Paper still keeping Puff’s might roar alive.

Let’s work to keep it that way.

Of all the Titan-Forged Keepers entrusted with the progression of Azeroth following the war with the Black Empire, Mimiron may be the most clever and inventive.

Holidays? Here? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

They're not over yet, but with it being the height of the holiday season it felt like a decent time to ask if you were having a good time with Winter Veil in Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft, or Overwatch's Winter Wonderland.

It's Winter Veil!

In World of Warcraft, plenty of bosses know how to celebrate the holidays -- but some do it better than others.

I’m not a holiday person — not the winter holidays, anyway. But I have a few things I consider “traditions,” and making sure I listen to Tim Minchin’s ‘White Wine in the Sun‘ is one of them. In fact, I was almost going to name this Queue after it, but then I remembered… I already did that last year. Fittingly enough, he even posted a photo of (what I presume to be) the location he sings about in the song.

Anyhow, Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate, and happy holidays to those of you who don’t. Let’s see if I can’t make this an extra special Queue, eh?

Hunters rejoice!
