The Queue: I’m with the Peon
Happy Labor Day to you all!
I hope that you’re being treated well and have a minimum amount of bootarangs being thrown at you today, and all days.
While I go invest in some fresh bootarang insurance, it’s time for — The Queue!
What is the worst advice you can give to gamers?
- Sometimes fire/acid/lightning/poison doesn’t hurt you, make sure to jump in every fire/acid vat/sparking wire/viper den you can.
- Large potions aren’t worth using over weak potions; think of all that bag space you’ll save by not carting around a bunch of large items in it.
- Falling is the main point in a game called Fall Guys. You should spend as much time as possible falling off the map, ignoring everything else.
- Money is the root of all evil, so never pick up any gold or cash in games to stop from becoming an evil character.
- Mario is actually allergic to mushrooms.
- Driving games are tied to your actual driver’s insurance. Make sure to never speed or get into accidents.
Q4tQ: what game do you play to cheer yourself up or something like that? Asking because maybe playing five hours straight of a game where nobody is having a good time wasn’t the best thing to do today. >_<
Anything mindless that I’m really good at — or at least ok at. Looter shooters like Destiny, Borderlands, The Division , or Diablo-style games. Let me just woodchipper my way through demons and faceless badguys galore while getting shiny loot out the wazoo. That’s always good to put a smile on my face!
q4tq: how many pandas
Somewhere between one and a billion of them. What do we even call a group of pandas? Is it a rolling? A kung fu? A tumbling of pandas? It’s gotta be one of those.
A few days ago I got the Dawn of War itch (after the DoW IV reveal at Gamescom), so I downloaded Soulstorm and started playing it.
But it’s a 20 year old game and doesn’t run well on newer systems, and after the third crash I decided to just abandon the idea to play it.
Then my brother mentioned that there is a remaster. Instant buy.
Ultrawide resolution.
Upscaled sound fidelity.
A more modern UI.
At least 5 more pixels:
I also have this now! I put many many hours into the original Dawn of War and its various expansions, so I’m so glad that I can give it a few more. So far, I’ve gotten far enough to beat up a big ol Ork Warboss and his giant Squiggoth, which is also surprisingly good at breaking my poor lil Dreadnoughts! They always seem so invincible until they don’t.
I really do hope that Dawn of War 4 winds up being a proper return to form for the series in a way that the third one didn’t quite hit.
That question was intended as looking for inspiration outside the Alliance/Horde races. XD Of course want Draenei/Tauren/Pandaren/Dracthyr/etc housing styles. But apart from those… let me just live in a tree or a damp hole in the ground. WoW has some nice caves that I’d be fine in.
Let me get some Gnoll camp aesthetics! Some really rustic hides and sticks tied together.
I would also accept Murloc/Naga for the fishy huts and tiki vibes. Sure, I’d never have a home that didn’t make everything in it slightly damp, but it’d be colorful!
As always, give me housing plots based on the Shadowlands factions and the Old Gods. Some nice and gooey Maldraxxi stuff alongside an eyeball-covered throne that can destroy your sanity if you sit in it too long.
I think the last boss of Midnight should be a complete surprise, like, say, Ann Wilson from Heart. My reasons:
1. She’s a badass, she beat cancer and did a full tour with a broken elbow
2. Her vocal prowess are certainly strong enough to destroy the world if she wanted to.
I was at one of those concerts she did with the broken elbow! She is a singer with a voice capable of splitting the planet in two, but I don’t think she’s a villain that would actually do it. Maybe a china shop or two, but not the whole planet. If you want a singer who is both capable of destroying the planet, and has the urge — you’re probably looking for a Joan Jett or Lizzy Hale.

Today’s Bacardi is another drawing by my favoritest person! She really captured his love of snoozing, no matter the location. You also get a bonus St. Bernard! Two noses to boop must mean twice the luck, right?
