This month’s Splatfest was Teleportation vs. Time Travel. I was far too busy on Saturday to participate, sadly… which may explain why the wrong side won. That said, this one was tougher than I initially expected.

Why? The fact that time travel is up against teleportation inherently implies that you can ONLY time travel from your current location. Most versions of time travel I’ve seen in sci-fi have allowed people to teleport as they time travel. If you can’t do that, it’s a little less exciting — but it’s still better.

Oh well. Let’s Queue.

If you've been paying attention, the road to WoW Classic has been moving pretty fast -- it's been roughly a week since the August 26/27 release date was announced and the beta test started in earnest a day later.

One of the speculative posts I saw online in the wake of last week's tease by J.

Dungeons and Dragons is more popular now than it has been in years, if not more popular than it has ever been.

I don't remember at what point it occurred to me that NPCs in World of Warcraft have food sitting out on tables, ready to eat.

I love movies.

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!

A stroll around Boralus had me stumbling upon an auction that brought back a flood of memories. Who here remembers the original Haunted Memento? Originally introduced during the Scourge Invasion event that heralded the arrival of Naxxramas in patch 1.11, it gave players the Haunted buff, which would cause a Scourge Haunt to follow you around. You could also throw it to other players, which would immediately trigger the /cower animation on them. In patch 6.0, it was nerfed to trigger a random 15 second haunting instead of a constant ghostly companion. Why? Weirdly enough, because the ghost was the number one source of creature spawns in the game, and it was causing server performance degradation.

That’s a powerful ghost. Let’s get to your questions!

Back in the day -- "the day" being late 2004 to early 2007, when World of Warcraft didn't have any expansions yet -- the choice of what race to play was a lot simpler and also a ton more complicated.

I personally love when Diablo 3 does a new Season -- it gives me an excuse to create a new alt and/or rebirth one of my current Barbarians.

Do not read this post or its comments if you don't want spoilers for the Game of Thrones series finale.  It was never going to be easy to end Game of Thrones.
