The Queue: It’s… it’s beautiful

First of all, happy Thursday and I hope everyone is having a great week so far! Second, thank to everyone who tagged or thought of me as soon as the above Tier lookalike was datamined. Y’all know me so well 💜

With that in mind, I think it’s a good time for us to have a Queue.

I love them, and the face on the shoulders reminds me of Sylvanas with this color scheme. And if they happen to be related to a new incarnation of the Mage Tower, I’ll be even happier. I admit, I’m that curmudgeon who doesn’t want the Legion Artifact appearances to return*, so this is a great compromise for those who want the challenge back and those who want the old rewards to remain exclusive.

I will note, I’d still love to see the black/silver Tier 6 look that Soulbinder Nyami is using.

*I may not want them to return, but I also won’t fault anyone who does want them to return. We all play how we play, and if Blizzard said they’re bringing those looks back tomorrow, I wouldn’t rally against it. (I might be silently grumpy though.)

Ummm… either of the fishy folk. No particular reason why, but they get my vote.

I’ll be honest, I don’t envy the writers who need to come up with ways for NPCs to agnostically address players of all types. I mean, yeah, it’s one word. But wouldn’t it be cool if NPCs could be more dynamic in how they address us?

For now, though, I’ll stick with your headcanon because it’s funny.

I don’t actually know a ton of Weird Al songs, but there are a couple that really stick out to me:

• Hardware Store, purely because of this machinima
• White & Nerdy, because of this machinima

I do wish I knew more of his work, but I also don’t think I’ve ever disliked a song of his when I’ve heard it.

Is it possible? Absolutely! And, in both the past and present, horror has been used to express larger concerns about society. Granted, rooting for a monster in a film and a monster in real life are two very different things. But I definitely understand the urge to want a fresh start for humanity, and monster/horror movies sometimes offer that in ways real life doesn’t.

Well, I have good news and bad news: The good news is that we know for certain we’re getting new travel forms — in patch 9.1.5, in fact! The bad news is that there’s no sign of new Shaman Ghost Wolf forms, which is a shame. We’re in the land of the dead and it has “ghost” in the name. But I get that there are only so many devs and only so much time to make things.

For me, I think it would depend on if the Hunter were a main or alt. I’m certainly prone to not naming pets on my alt Hunter(s), but it’s not because I don’t want to. I usually just don’t have a name in mind at the time and then get distracted by other things before I can come up with one.

If I could name my Priest’s Shadowfiend, though, I totally would, because I have a stronger connection to that character and that ability.

That’s the Mitch Queue for this week! May your days be lovely and your nights full of whispers.
