Maybe your Memorial Day weekend is about getting outdoors for some summer fun. Or maybe, like me, your Memorial Day weekend is about staying indoors where it is pleasantly cool and I am highly unlikely to get sunburned. Or maybe it’s not a holiday at all in your current time-space location.
But whatever you’re up to over t...

Another day has come and gone, which means it's time to look back on the past 24 hours with deep nostalgia.
Okay, maybe not deep nostalgia. But there has to be a little nostalgia at least, right? So let's put on our rose-tinted glasses (or goggles) and dig into the news.

As you may know, we got some news about Artifact appearances today, and it has reminded me that I still do not have the Mage Tower challenge appearance. So here I am, back at the Mage Tower, repeating the same task over and over again while hoping for different results.
In short, I am an idiot.
But about that Ar...

It seems like the whole Blizzard lineup got game updates today. Well. Almost the whole Blizzard lineup, because both StarCraft and Diablo were skipped over. (With apologies to the fans of Blizzard’s least-loved games.) And, I suppose, technically not World of Warcraft, but there is alwa...

Alas, the weekend is gone again. But that does mean we’re back here, talking about video games, which is basically my favorite thing to do. And since you’re here, it must be your favorite thing, too, right? And if it isn’t, there’s an adorable pug in the header of this post, so at least we’ve all got that going for us ...

Later on in the show, the discussion turns to the Mag’har Allied Race option in Battle for Azeroth. Please note: There are spoilers for Battle ...

We’ve managed to make it to yet another weekend, so congratulations, everyone. We’ve tanked (or damaged or healed) our way through another week without needing a rez. (Uh, I may need a rez. Maybe. Anyone?)
But enough about our weekly rl raid strategy: let’s move on to the news.
Oh. My. God.
I've been chittering excitedly about this week would be the Shanghai Dragons' first win... but I was wrong. Our beloved underdogs had no idea what to do with the Fuel's Brigitte comp and it doomed them to a 3/1 loss. Let us have a moment of silence in mourning.

Okay people, I want to wrap up this post fast so I can focus all of my attention on this Overwatch League match between Dallas and Shanghai. (Go Dragons!)

What? Is there something else you lot do on the weekend, because I’m really just planning on running some dungeons. I have a list of quests that I’m hoping not to have before Mon...

Okay, we’re kind of bored. It’s been a kind of quiet week on the Blizzard Watching front. Sure, we learned we’re getting a chihuahua mount in Heroes of the Storm, but we don’t have one yet. Sure, 2018-05-11 04:19:10 +0000 UTC View Post
Here at Blizzard Watch, we are all fans of good doggos. (Except for Matticus, who detests all things cute... and once had an unfortunate encounter with a not so good doggo, so please don't antagonize him over it.) And today all Blizzard-loving fans of good doggos got some great news, because a very good chihuahua doggo is coming...

Another day has come and gone (way gone at this point), which means it’s time for another roundup. Don’t you love roundups? I love roundups. So let’s get to the roundup part of this roundup because that’s where the fun is.

It’s the day before the weekly reset in WoW (or at least when I started writing this), which means I’ve been running some Mythic+. And I have to say, Grievous is the worst affix and I’m going to spend the next month getting fidgety whenever I see someone drop below 90% health. And as soon as I’m over it, Gr...

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe dip into the mailbag to answer your questions!

Yes, that happened.

It's been a roller coaster of a week and somehow it's only Tuesday. I don't know how that happened, but I assume it's because time is mysterious and inexplicable. There's no way to understand how or why it is Tuesday, so we may as well give up.
Instead of trying to understand the passage of time (which is clearly impossible), ...

Another week is upon us and that means it's once again time for us to round up the latest news from the Blizzard universe. So what happened on this fine Monday? (Or not so fine Monday, depending on your point of view.)
But whether it's the best day of the week or the worst day of the week, let's run down the news.
Or, depending on your time zone, happy almost weekend. Either way, I hope you’re having a good day/night/morning or whatever time frame you happen to be existing in presently.
Now let’s get to the news.
