Blizzcon: A much better apology

I said yesterday that my next post would be about happy things, such as Pandas or Monks. It IS a happy post. As an update to yesterday’s post, it seems something has finally filtered though. I appreciate the apology, it’s worlds apart from what I actually expected to get from Blizzard at this stage. Thank you Mike Morhaime, I will be optimistic and hope that this is a sign of continued improvement on Blizzard’s track record when it comes to their record on handling QUILTBAG issues, sexism, and hate speech in general.

Next week we hope to have spinks of Spinksville on the show to discuss more Eurogamer Expo nuggets of goodness. We also plan to have a roundtable on the fantastic...

Moving on

July 7, 2011

Some of you may be aware that my posting over at WoW Insider has been sporadic, both in frequency and dare I say it: quality. The trouble is that when I accepted the position I had quite a lot of free time, and very little notion of that changing any time soon. I was looking forward to Cataclysm, and all the joys of raiding new content. Fast forward to now, and I’ve had to move twice since then. My partner has moved back to Holland, where the job market is better. I’ve had to move in with my parents...
