It’s the most money I’ve ever spent at once!

Now I’m the proud owner of a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe, and it has all sorts of decadent features like remote start and a heated steering wheel — which is just the most absurd thing that I assume I’ll never be able to live without now.

I hope to have many good years of driving with my new car. It’ll need a name, of course, but I figured I’d give it a week and see what comes to mind.

While I noodle on a name, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

The first season of World of Warcraft: Midnight  is less than a week away, and with it the return of The Race to World First.

I love it when two of my interests come crashing together like a pair of hockey players slamming each other into the boards! Once again, World of Warcraft sponsored an Edmonton Oilers game, and they were exceedingly kind in inviting me along for the ride! The Blood Elves came back to support the Oilers, and there were prizes, pizzas being parachuted down from the ceiling, and a cool limited edition t-shirt of the Oilers mascot, Hunter the Lynx, glowing all void-y with the Warcraft W on his chest.

Last time they had us up in the special fancy box to watch the game, this time we were rinkside, and what an experience that was. I’ve never been so close to a professional hockey game! The puck was amazingly loud; you felt every slapshot that hit the boards viscerally. It was also super cool to hear it skitter along the glass as they passed it around the end of the rink. To say nothing of watching the aforementioned body checks up close and personal. It gives you a whole new appreciation of the things hockey players put their bodies through.

Sadly, the Oilers didn’t win, so congrats to Kalcheus and every other Carolina fan that night. I was really hoping that the Oilers would be heroes in the storm of Carolina. Still, it was a really close game (until it wasn’t) and I hope they decide to sponsor some Oilers playoff hockey…

Hey, guess what!

Chicken butt.

Guess what else, I’m back again. Like Kael’thas, you just can’t get rid of me. You thought you’d had your fill of me on Monday, but jokes on you — I’m helping cover Liz’s Queue this week, and you’re stuck with me again.

While I try to remember what day of the week it is, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

So I’ve been looking at getting a new (used) car, and a lot of what shows up in my criteria has been the Kia Soul. Today, while my most favoritest person and I went to a local farmers’ market, we saw at least five different Souls parked there. I don’t know how closely overlapped the Venn diagram is between Kia Soul owners and Farmers’ Markets are but it’s gotta be overlapped pretty heavily.

I do appreciate that they all seem to be nice and colorful. Most cars I’ve seen are white, grey, or black. When did they all get so boring?!

While I lament the changing automotive trends, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

For various hockey-related reasons, I had to wake up before 6 am on Sunday. Then I had to watch a whole hockey game and a little bit of overtime. Then I had to be sad for the rest of the day.

Needless to say, I’m pretty tired now. I drank a lot of coffee today.

While I get ready for a nice big nap, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

It's been three years since Heroes of the Storm officially entered maintenance mode -- meaning only small updates, and that there would be nothing new added to the game.

In this economy?

I’ve finally gotten around to playing the latest Dragon Age game, and it’s pretty good so far. I’ve made the first big choice (which city to defend from dragon attack) that I regretted about an hour after making it — so that’s a typical BioWare experience. I try really hard not to look up guides and playthroughs for the story beats of these games; I want all of my messiness to be fully earned. That one hurt, though, as I was left with a character I liked being sidelined and devastated by the destruction in their city, and another I didn’t have strong feelings for sticking around all happy-go-lucky. Still, I’ve come too far, and this just gives me the extra layer of reality, as there is no reloading a save in real life.

Still, my Necro mage is having a good time bopping around between planes of existence and trying to flirt with anything that has a pulse.

While I spend too long trying to figure out the path to that chest I can see just on the edge of that ledge over there, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

Last week, somebody said that the way I abbreviated renovation to reno made them think of a different event entirely. So here are two tickets to the Reno gun show, just for you, half-remembered and definitely real commentator.

While I decide if I’m going to return to this joke for a third time next week, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

I went to a home renovation tradeshow over the weekend, and it hit me after that it would’ve been the perfect place to sneak a little Warcraft housing booth into! There could be a huge market for people who want to use it for basic housing design work. It certainly wouldn’t be any more out of place than the candy booth(s), or the free caricaturist.

I’m sure that there would be a few confused people, but imagine the joy on some kids faces as they got something fun to do while their parents go and learn about drywall repair!
