Watching Blizzard: Now welcoming to the Hearthstone lineup… (Patreon)

Wondering about that header image? Not sure who it is? Thinking it might be a Demon Hunter from Diablo 3? Well, you would be thinking wrong, because this is Tess Greymane, the newest crazy card to join Hearthstone’s Witchwood lineup.

But more on that later. Let’s run through the news, most of which is actually not about Hearthstone.

The end is coming!

• And before it — by which we mean the launch of Battle for Azoerth — does come, here are the things you’ll want to do in-game.

All of the latest Battle for Azeroth news

• You may have noticed that Blizzard released a lot of expansion news this week. And if you didn’t… well… Blizzard released a lot of expansion news this week!
• Here’s a rundown of everything around the internet.
• And here’s a rundown of all of our coverage.

Don’t forget about Anne’s alpha adventures!

• Anne has been adventuring through the alpha all week. If you’ve missed it, she’s worked her way through a lot of Stormsong Valley, including…
• Millstone Hamlet
• Fort Daelin and Thresher’s Wharf
• Dire Hills, Drowned Lands, and Deadwash
• Fogtide Assembly and Sagehold
• Brennadam and Briarback Kraul
• Yeah, Battle for Azeroth’s zones are just that massive.

Rossi goes tinfoil hat on us

• This week’s Know Your Lore talks about Azeroth’s countdown to chaos.

Mione does it again

• This time, our favorite Demon Hunter (apologies to all other Demon Hunters) has solo’d +15 Mythic Cathedral of Eternal Night… and beat the timer. I haven’t even managed that in a five-player group.

Want to hang out and play Overwatch? Blizzard has an event for you!

• Much like Hearthstone’s Fireside Gatherings, Overwatch’s Flash Ops offer in-person gaming excitement. Kind of like a LAN party. Does anyone here remember LAN parties? If not, they were like this.

Have an extra $175?

• Then do we have a deal for you! You can pre-order this gorgeous Mercy figurine, which is expected to ship before the end of the year.

The Hearthstone hype train keeps rolling along

• Choo choo! Here are the latest expansion cards, including Tess Greymane. Tess Greymane!
• While we might see a few more cards over the weekend, any remaining cards will be revealed on Monday at 11 a.m. PDT. Tune in to Twitch to see Ben Brode and Day[9] zoom through the rest of the cards… right now we have 53 to go.

And that’s all for now. Everyone have a great weekend and I’ll be back here with you on Monday, when I will probably be drowning in a pile of Hearthstone cards… which actually isn’t much different than any other day lately. This is Liz, signing out.
