I told Mitch in our staff chat that if the new Legendary wasn’t something bears could use I would riot — and here we are!

The patch is literally called Guardians of the Dream and they can’t throw bears a bone!? How dare they! Calling it Dream Render is right, consider my dreams well and truly rent.

It’s fine. I’m fine.

I’m sure they’ll give us some more updated models and I’d be surprised if we don’t get to use the new stony Furbolg bear form that we’ve seen. So I guess I’m getting something that lasts longer than a raid tier, but still! No better time to give us Druids a cool weapon than when we’re hanging out in the Emerald Dream.

Oh to be a bear sitting on a beach in the shade of a palm tree.

Unfortunately for me, the person behind the bear, some of us have to work on Monday.

There was much rejoicing in Cory-land last night as my guild and I finally put the nail in the coffin for the Failed Experiments. It took many many many more pulls than I thought it would, but we finally got the hang of it and proved why Neltharion was right to abandon these early prototype Dracthyr.

The problem now is that every Mythic boss after this point is harder than the last. Well except for Magmorax, he’s apparently a pretty big pushover — comparatively. Still though, as long as we get Rashok down consistently and I can snag my extra fancy polearm, I’ll consider this raid a success.

Just as long as I don’t have to go uphill while wearing ice skates…

Outland is as close to Mars as I think exists in the Azeroth universe. Some of it’s even red!

I’d bet at least five BlizzardWatch Bux™ that there’s even a quest in Burning Crusade that references David Bowie.

He’s back, and I wish it was in pog form!

I just got my first-ever Mythic N’zoth kill and let me tell you, even two expansions later that’s one tough cookie! Almost like he’s a god or something…

Those clever designers at Blizzard made him go nearly invulnerable at certain health thresholds, so even bringing an almost full raid of people who still remember where they left their Wrathion cloaks — we still had to deal with the sanity mechanics in the fight! Once that runs out you’re gone, no matter how much health you have.

All in all, it was a little much for a fight two expansions out. At this point, I think there should be some considerations put in place for fights like that, Mythic Jaina and Mythic Kil’jaeden where the brute force option isn’t a possibility.

While I try and figure out what that entails, it’s time for — The Queue!

With a few too many key people out for our Mythic raid, it was time for our once-a-tier achievement run — yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

There was a good batch of achievements this time, including making our own baby Shadowflame elemental, which we promptly killed, and feeding a bunch of snails to a hungry chimera… which we also promptly killed. Hmm, I’m sensing a pattern here. At least we didn’t kill the neutral Dracthyr named Nutraal! Although we tried to get his brothers in the Forgotten Experiments to try their best at killing him, I don’t know if that’s much better.

Best achievement this time around is We’ll Never See That Again, Surely simply for the probable set-up for an achievement next expansion called “Who could’ve seen this coming? Not us, surely!”.

Now while I apply some burn cream to my legs after riding this lava manta ray, it’s time for — The Queue!

The Old Gods appear all throughout World of Warcraft. They've been some of the most memorable bosses and have twisted the very landscape around them to be more in line with their vision for the world, and it seems like no matter what, they always have legions of devoted followers.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled writer for the Queue.

No more weird out-of-place writers, writers who were supposed to be there not showing up, or writers who are alternate-universe versions of themselves.

Nope, just the person that’s supposed to be where they are when they are.

At least for today.

Now before I go play in the open portal to all of time and space, it’s time for — The Queue.

I mean I am definitely here, but this feels early… And if I’m here, where’s Liz?

These time streams are all sorts of messed up!

While I try to sort that out, it’s time for — The Queue!

Sure I was supposed to be here last week, but there’s nothing sinister going on! Liz certainly hasn’t taken a trip up to Canada to kidnap me and lock me in a basement somewhere to write articles or anything…
