Liz hosted the Blizzard Watch podcast this week, with Joe and occasional guest host Phil Ulrich, and there is so much to talk about going on all at the same time. Slap together several concurrent holidays in WoW, holidays in Diablo 4, and a battle pass for Hearthstone Battlegrounds, and everyone is just a little overwhelmed. Luckily for you, we're here to help you navigate it all. Even the upcoming content patch, with three different Goblin cartels to back. And Delve changes. And Diablo 4 changes. And then, the questions from our listeners!Yep, you can trust us. Everything under control over here. Also, which of our recurring podcast guest hosts are you rooting for in the Beyblade Arena?We also take this opportunity to reminisce a bit, since Blizzard Watch turned 10 years old this week. No, seriously. It's been a full decade since a few nutty kids decided to band together and keep bringing the news and views. We couldn't have done it, much less for as long as we have, without the support of our Patrons, our community, and a dash of plucky optimism. We thank you now for showing us we can do this, as we have every day since February 2015.Thank you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
