@RebeccaLee_VO I'm writing a quick story for PC Gamer that calls out Naleidea Rivergleam's voice lines. DM me? I'd love to steal - with your permission - your combo image of her/yourself.

[Heather Newman @Gbitses]

@DanShoeHsu Nuuu! Dammit. Let me know if I can be helpful in any way, as you have been for me in the past.

[Heather Newman @Gbitses]

@cynthpark I'm so sorry to hear this! You did terrific work.

.@SamwiseDidier (best gaming name ever) just announced he's retiring from Blizzard. I had the good fortune to profile him a few years back. He's an original, our own Frank Frazetta, and his impact on this industry has been absolutely enormous.

[Heather Newman @Gbitses]

@MrGMYT If only someone had posted that in a story in national media yesterday. https://t.co/yY7lclFWQN
