The Queue: This is me now

Daylight savings time has done me in. All that’s left is a shambling husk of a person crawling out of a shallow grave.

Maybe some day I’ll get to go back to that grave. That’d be nice, I could use a good nap.

While I try and find the cool side of my pillow, it’s time for — The Queue!


KALCHEUS DID ONE MILLION STUPID THINGS

Q4tQ Have you read the Murderbot Diaries?

That’s a fun name for a book, but no I haven’t read those. There are so many books out there, how am I supposed to keep up with them all?! I feel like nobody wants to pay me a living wage to just sit and read books all day — even if my day job sometimes is slow enough to let me do just that.

You were right about Gideon the Ninth though, so I guess I’ll look into it.


GLOWING METEOR CARROT SAID ONE BILLION FOOLISH THINGS

How many gnomes do you think could fit underneath the average male night elf’s shoulder armor?

I’d say two Gnomes per shoulder if they have to be able to walk away from the experience. But once again if the goo-ify option on the blender is a possibility we could fit way more Gnome per shoulder!

Woodchippers are an option, but I prefer the fine control that can only come from a dedicated blender.


ROXXII THE BELOVED GOT A BASEBALL BAT BESIDE THEIR BED TO FIGHT OFF WHAT INSIDE THEIR HEAD

Q4TQ: Will they bother announcing 10.2.6 tomorrow or just drop it Tuesday?

At this point, I’d say the only notice we’ll get is a flurry of pirate flag gifs on social media just as the servers go down. It’s been a while since Blizzard has given us a complete surprise patch so I bet that anything we do get will just be a small thing. No external testing means that it’d have to occupy a pretty small part of the world.

Although it would be pretty on-brand for pirates to show up and cause a big mess.


JALAMENOS THE BLUE BARON YOU’RE NOT A MONSTER, JUST A HUMAN

Prime Video comes with a 14-day free trial of MGM, started when you watch the first MGM show.
Stargate SG-1 is on there – do you think I could watch all 214 episodes before the 14-day trial is up? :P

Oh for sure, that’s less than 10,000 minutes of Stargate right there. All you’d have to do is watch about 11 hours of it a day and you’d be able to finish it all.

Would you be the same person that went in? That I couldn’t tell you. It’s possible that your brain will have melted into a soupy sludge comprised of solely of filmed in Canada genre television.

That’s also not counting either of the spin-offs, and there’s some good stuff in those too! You’d miss out on a young Jason Momoa, and the promising if flawed start that Universe gave us.

If you decided to pay for a full month of service though you’d be able to get your daily watch time down to a much more reasonable five to six hours a day. That’s way better for you, and your sanity!


RED YOU’RE NOT GRUESOME, JUST HUMAN

Q4TQ: if we had the Blizzard Watch Awards, what would they be like? What categories would be in it?

It’s probably more fun to do an award show for the posters instead of the writers. We already pat ourselves on the back a lot… at least I do anyway! I mean I’m still pretty proud of myself for last week’s Deathwing Queue, so I don’t feel like we the writers need as much recognition.

That being said the categories are tough to pull out. Best Comment and Best Commenter might both be options, but how could we possibly hope to narrow it down to just one person!

The Best use of Meme response would be two categories for gif and picture. Best picture of the Blizzard Watch Merch in the Wild might be another one, of course, the odds of winning that go up as you have more merch so it’s a bit pay to win.

Best in-game accomplishment would be good, but again how do you compare getting something rare like Invincible to something that’s skill-based like getting 3,000 dungeon points.

Maybe it’s better to have a tight-hour program where each writer puts forward their favorite moments from the year and there’s no ranking. Everyone can get their Watchie and enjoy an evening of fun retrospection and high fashion!

Today’s Bacardi is patiently waiting for you to walk past him on your way to where the treats are kept. Or is he waiting to attack your foot as you go by in a bid to be the sole ruler of the house? It could go either way, all I know is that I’m sure whatever happens your Great Vault will be greater!

Today’s Anna Earworm™: It’s Alright

Have a great start to your week everyone, I hope that you weren’t knocked on your butt too much by losing an hour of sleep! Help Anna recover from her Daylight saving time by leaving her lots of questions for tomorrow!
