The Queue: In which Fox communes with nature

I had the sheer joy of a Fox Van Allen visit earlier this week when he drove through my town during his lengthy cross-country road trip, and of course I couldn’t pass up the chance to introduce him to some of Colorado’s friendlier wildlife. No ground squirrels were harmed in the taking of this photo — but they did receive a nice pick-me-up for the day and a substantial pile of critter-friendly food to stash away for those cold winter months.


The Queue: What do the barrels say

I love the new models. I love them to pieces — it’s great seeing the variety of emotions and expressions you can get now, and it’s such a gigantic improvement from the original vanilla models. More importantly, I love how human males at work now look like they’re simultaneously clasping their hands and listening intently, like they’re trying to come up with the perfect manufactured flatulence sound instead of doing whatever it is they should be doing.


The Queue: Who are these angry men?

Look, I generally think I have a pretty good handle on Warcraft lore. But I don’t think I know who these two angry dudes are on WoW‘s map pane. One of them is sort of Illidan-y satyr-ish, the other is wielding lightning in a very Thor-in-a-wizard-robe kind of way.  I’m assuming they’re constellations of some sort, given the stars haphazardly placed on both of them, but they don’t look Titan or Sargeras enough to really fit either one. One of these days I’m going to have to find a definitive answer for that one. Until then, I’ll settle for answering the questions you guys have thrown my way.
