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!

While I take my ideas straight to the top of the Blizzard marketing division, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

I’ve just come from a big tour of the local craft brewery scene, and boy, are my arms tired! For my second year in a row, and fourth overall, the local brewers have put on a celebration of the weirdest beers that they can make. I’ve drank cricket beer, ice cream beer, and ice cream float beer, donut beer, chicken wing beer, and even an absinthe barleywine! One of them was garnished with a scorpion! Unfortunately, I wasn’t one of the first 100 people to show up for prizes, so I didn’t get a cool medal — but I think I made the right choice to not stand outside longer in -20 °C weather for that. It was a long, strange, and strangely delicious trip. Nothing was truly awful, and the ice cream beers were really good, although I could do without crickets floating in my drink. I can’t wait to see what they get up to next year!

While I take a much-needed drink of water, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

I have the sneaking suspicion that something important is happening this week. I can’t quite put my finger on it, though. I’m pretty sure that we’ve hit the major holidays already, and I’m not forgetting Christmas 2: And This Time it’s Personal. I’m also pretty sure I remembered to feed the cat and take the garbage out.

Whatever it is, I’m sure that it can’t be that important, or I’d remember it. Guess it’s just a regular week.

While I go about my business as usual, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

It took me three years, but I did it; I read every book and short story anthology in the Warhammer Horus Heresy and Siege of Terra series. All 67 of them, and boy, are my eyes tired.

First off, shout out to my local library and its ereader app for letting me read all of the books legally and for free. That really helped on the wallet front. Second, I’m going to miss the series. I’ve been reading it for so long that now it’s going to be weird reading anything else. Maybe I’ll ease myself back into non-Warhammer stuff by making a stopover in the Alien novels.

I’m glad I was able to stick with it and read all of them. I’d tried to get through the series as they were first coming out, but having to wait a long time between novels was tough. I love the big over-the-top shooty sci-fi of it all, and getting so many books to watch characters grow and evolve was a fun time. I liked knowing the gist of the ending and seeing how everything lined up to get there, especially at the end, as so many narrative throughlines started getting their payoffs, or their set-ups for Warhammer 40,000 stuff.

While I go sit on a golden throne couch and think about everything that brought me to this point, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!
