Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

I can’t believe it’s real, it’s really real! And to kick off BlizzCon with it? Outstanding. Heroes will never die!

IT'S NOT HOPIUM IF IT'S REALLY HAPPENING! Xal'atath is coming to Heroes of the Storm, the game's first major content addition since it was put in maintenance mode in 2022.

Today on the Lore Watch Podcast, we're talking about the forces that power Azeroth, from mana to anima to the song you will get stuck in your head if you try to say that three times fast. Not that I'm trying to sidetrack you from important lore discussions. The full episode is now live.

Pick one WoW expansion, replace the characters with muppets except one. Which expansion, and which character do you keep in their current form? My thought was "MofP, keep Garrosh" but with pandas and klaxxi, we're halfway there. Anduin getting smushed by a bell would be fine if he were made of felt.

I’ve known Dan for literally more than a decade and his painting has only gotten better and better over that time. Don’t miss this if you’re near Edmonton!

I’m very proud of this stupid joke

There's only one thing we care about in World of Warcraft, and his name his Roofus. This and more of our possibly mis-set priorities in this week's Blizzard Watch Podcast, which is now live.

We're looking to add some writers to our team, plus an artist to do some merch designs for us! If you're interested, please send in an app! I like to think we are pretty fun to work with, but I may also be biased.

Did you ever wonder why Cory is still lighting a candle for Heroes of the Storm every time there's a patch or new cosmetic? Here's his take on why HotS still has his heart after 3 years of Maintenance Mode.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

We just want to note as we head into this weekend that, despite the website name we are not an account to follow for weather-related news. In fact the one place we could reliably predict snow for had its uh, climate patterns slightly altered. Stay warm, stay safe.

Ran into one of my least favourite gaming tropes today. I don’t enjoy the bits where you’re walking (staggering) a very wounded character around. It feels like it could be a cutscene. Why do I need to push forward for a minute of shuffling? Maybe one of my dev pals can explain why they do this.

You know when you have a character who usually wears a hat, and they’ve had a bad guy take it away from them and wear it. Only for the good guy to take it back in the middle of the fight and put it back on before finishing the fight. It’s a silly trope, but one I like very much. Thanks Fallout s2!

The Oilers heard that Midnight was the 12th expansion and are trying to score that many goals for it
