The Queue: Let them fight!

I still think this was my best movie recreation I ever did in Warcraft. 

I didn’t do many, maybe it’s my only one! However, I’m still proud of finding a tiny city to stage my Godzilla vs Kong moment.

While I stomp on Tokyo, it’s time for — The Queue!


WITH A PURPOSEFUL GRIMACE AND A TERRIBLE SOUND KRALD PULLS THE SPITTING HIGH TENSION WIRES DOWN

Looks like the Oilers are Canada’s last chance at the cup this year

Poor Toronto, having not one but two(!) games on home ice that are 6-1 against you is a rough way to end your playoff run.

Still, the Oilers have a good chance this year! At least if we can keep our players from getting injured… We got through the Kings and Golden Knights pretty handily. Dallas might be a tougher fight, but we beat them last year. There’s nothing saying we can’t do it again!

Looking further ahead to the final round — either team that wins the Eastern Conference this year is one that ended the Oilers’ Stanley Cup dreams in a thrilling game 7, so either way, we’re going to get our revenge!

And it will be sweet.


HELPLESS PEOPLE ON A SUBWAY TRAIN SCREAM BUG-EYED AS KALCHEUS LOOKS IN ON THEM

Q4tQ The Mysterious Satchels are going away on Tuesday too, right?

They wouldn’t be very mysterious if they made it easy for you to figure out the answer to that question!

It does look like they will be going away, but any of the extra special XP potions you’ve gotten will stick around. So all is not lost, at least you’ll still be able to give your next character a little boost on their way to max.


RED PICKS UP A BUS AND HE THROWS IT BACK DOWN AS HE WADES THROUGH THE BUILDINGS TOWARD THE CENTER OF TOWN

yo dawg I heard you like foxes so I put a fox on your fox and a fox on your fox on your fox and a fox on your fox on your fox on your fox so you can fox while you fox while you fox while you fox

Yeah, but what does the Fox say?


OH NO, THEY SAY, ARTHONOS’ GOT TO GO

Q4tQ: Blizz is planning on housing to be this evergreen system that players return to time and time again, and want players to get attached to their neighbors, but life happens and people stop playing. Do you think they are setting themselves for headaches down the road when players end up as the only active player in an abandoned neighborhood, and then have to weigh the decision of demolishing their house to move to a more populated neighborhood?

I think that could go one of two ways: either players will absolutely never move a house once it’s set up, or we’ll see players tear it down to the studs and rebuild it weekly. How many players do we have in this very Queue who are already swapping up their transmogs that often? And I know that building an entire house is more work than mix and matching your armor, but for the true enthusiasts who want that communal feeling and love the system, there’s no way they won’t relish the opportunity.

It’s also possible that all of this will be moot and Blizzard will provide players with either a way to save housing layouts in-game, much like you can save favorite sets of armor — or an export code like sharing your custom UI setups.


HIGH DENSITY WAFFLE SHOWS AGAIN AND AGAIN HOW NATURE POINTS OUT THE FOLLY OF FALLANGER

High Density Waffle: But neat fact, french toast predates France. Someone has lied to us

Fallanger: french fries as well

It’s true. The first French fries weren’t cooked in France; they were actually cooked in Greece.


OH NO, THERE GOES TOKYO GO GO MOVEWOW, YEAH

Happy Friday Everyone!

Q4TQ: It’s just me and the dogs at home tonight. When it’s just you what’s your favorite game and food to have together for a mindless night of fun?

There are so many great games to choose from, but I think it’s anything that can provide some satisfyingly over-the-top moments. Diablo‘s speed of thousands of demons slain per minute, Heroes of the Storm team kills, Fallguys clutch dives or cheeky grabs, Doom’s ripping and tearing — the list could go on! It’s just gotta have some sense of momentum, I think, too many loading screens make it easy to get distracted by things around you.

Foodwise, I’m not picky. I do like a nice sushi combo platter from a local Asian supermarket, and if I wait to get it late enough, it’s two-for-one! I’d also accept pizza, ramen, tacos, burgers, pasta, or a nice big sandwich.

Bacardi is stuck, and if you were to offer him some assistance to escape the giant monster who’s been tormenting him, he’d surely reward you. I’d help, but it feels like a conflict of interest. Then I’d lose my furry little space heater!

Today’s Anna Earworm™: Godzilla 

Have a monstrously good week, everyone! You can stop yourself from being the superfluous humans in a giant monster movie by leaving Anna lots of questions for her Queue tomorrow! 7
