The Queue: Things are getting weird around here

I’ve been visiting a whole bunch of breweries this weekend trying the weirdest beers they’ve had. Not just regular weird, but wyrd weird. The local craft beer people throw a little wyrd festival thing in January to stretch their creative muscles, and oh boy have they been weird(wyrd)!

Thanks to my favorite person ever noticing this was going on, we’ve made a whole weekend of it and we’re only halfway through the list! She’s really the bee’s knees, and it’s not just all the beer making me say that.

So far the standouts have been a ham and pineapple beer and an out-of-this-world hypnotic purple one called Unicorn Blood that tastes like taro and bubble tea. Have all of the beers worked? Mostly! Would I get another pint of the salted mushroom porter? Unlikely! There’s still way more to taste though, and I can’t wait to find out what else is out there!

While I sober up a bit, it’s time for — The Queue!

Sodalicious! Life without it just feels flat. I loved these vaguely pop-tasting gummies and was always super happy to get them in my lunch at school.

I’d also take gushers back, which may or may not still be a thing. I liked the extra juice in the middle of my gummy. I also liked giving the local ants some of the sugar juice. They always seemed to dig it!

I’ve only seen the one-handed version of it so far. He is a big guy, but he’s also holding it in just one hand! So it makes sense that it’s only a one-hander.

It is odd that it’s the most common unique item that most people seem to find. I wonder if the extra drops are because it’s such a stand-out weapon from one of the main baddies? For a while, the Butcher was the most dangerous thing in Sanctuary! I’m sure that the Diablo developers have a list of the total people killed by the Butcher that would surprise us at how long it is. So it makes sense that they want players to have that moment of victory and taking the Butcher’s toy to use in their travels.

That’s easy — Goro!

I’m just doing the math and more arms = more punching, and more punching seems to be the number one way of winning Mortal Kombat.

I also remember being a wee lad and playing on an arcade cabinet and getting just absolutely rocked by Goro, so with that bit of formative logic it makes sense that he’d stand out as a favorite. He was so strong he could beat me! Not that I was very good when I was a wee lad, but you get the point.

Otherwise, I guess Reptile is fine.

Season of the Witch!

Some goobers stole a bunch of heads from my favorite tree and it’s up to me to get them back. Also, Piranahdo is back and I must have it.

I’ve been playing a Minion Necromancer to level and I’ve just been throwing skeletons at my problems until I don’t have those problems anymore. But it looks like when I get to 60 and some gear under my belt I’m going to be going all in on surfing giant waves of blood.

I’ve subdued the mighty beast with an offering of Unicorn Blood. He may be named for a rum, but Bacardi doesn’t mind a beer every once in a while. Maybe in his drunken stupor, you’ll be able to convince him for better loot!
