The last week of the year is like the end of a lopsided sports match; nothing really matters, and it just feels like you’re running out the clock. Enough people take vacation time that no real work feels like it can be done, and even if you’re going to work, it is likely going to be slow. Unless you’re working at a mall, in which case, good luck.

This year it has a double meaning for me as I’ve spent the last few days being sick with a fever. I don’t recommend it. At least I seem to be through the worst of it in time for the new year.

While I rest up for a new year of Queues, our daily question and answer column, it’s time for — The Queue!

Blizzard has done it again: a major feature from Diablo Immortal seems to be added to Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred with a single line in a press release.

It's been a quiet one here at Blizzard Watch HQ, and so I have scant news to report for the week.

We’re still in the holiday mood for this week. We’re only shifting gears to “New Year woo!” next week. So I have decided, for no particular reason.

(Well, the reason was all the Christmas-related questions we got, and were still answering.)

Either way, This is The Queue, our daily Q&A slash discussion slash chat column, where you can ask questions (and hopefully get answers), chat with like-minded folks, or just read the words on the screen. You know it, you know it!

Santa Rossi is visiting us this week with player housing-related delights, like the upcoming Night Elf and Blood Elf house exteriors!

I wasn’t trying to get a level 80 Warrior, it just kind of happened. I thought I would get in my Timewalking dungeons on a level 71 Warrior, and before I knew it I was level 80. I’m now the kind of person with a single max level Warrior, a completely normal thing to be. Right? Right. No one here would think that would be weird at all.

This is the Queue, our daily chit-chat Q&A column. Let’s see what’s going on.

Happy Feast of Winter Veil!

Because it's Christmas, and on Christmas you get a little treat, Joe and Matt are discussing all the ways crossovers are used in comics.

Blizzard has announced that Diablo 4's upcoming expansion Lord of Hatred will bring with it — amongst all of the expected changes — loot filters.

If you want to know just how grim it is out there, my grocery store is out of both powdered and brown sugar. Completely out, no more.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll provide the answers — and a cookie! — just as soon as we try two other stores. Do you think Walgreens has powdered sugar?
