With Aberrus, The Shadowed Crucible now live, the Aberrus Race to World First is on!

Sometimes you just gotta do things quickly right?

While I wait for my Dash cooldown to finish, it’s time for — The Queue!

It’s gonna be… something. Shoot.

It was just on the tip of my tongue! I know that April showers bring… something… Oh well, I’m sure it’ll come to me.

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

He’s ground beef! Get it?!

We have our Mythic Kurogg kill and with that, we’ve gotten 5/8 of Vault down on Mythic!! This was a tough one to finally crack. We couldn’t lose two people before the final elemental phase, or we’d not have the damage to get through it. There were four or five sub-five percent wipes tonight; each one could’ve been a kill if not for avoidable mistakes in that final burn. Still, we have him down now and there was much rejoicing!

We’re unlikely to move to try and kill Mythic Dathea as even Cutting Edge guilds have said that they dread reclearing her — especially with only a pair of raid nights left in this patch. But I consider this a great success for my scrappy little two-night-a-week team!

While I pat all of my raiders on the back again for our excellent, totally clean, and certainly not both tanks dead for the last 2% kill, it’s time for — The Queue!

Waiting is the worst!

I just want to do the things I want to do right now without having to wait for them. Is that so much to ask for? When will then be now!

While I figure that out, it’s time for — The Queue!

We did it!

It was even a mostly clean kill with the bulk of the raid making it up to the final platform — who knew that’s what made it easier to win?! With Sennarth dead there were two more bosses for us to choose from before Broodkeeper Diurna. We could go get blown around by Dathea, or take on a really angry elemental cow.

Of course, we’ve chosen the cow. Dathea is supposedly one of the most awkward and annoying fights out of the whole tier with even Cutting Edge guilds stumbling on her during their re-clears. Kurogg hasn’t even been that bad either. We’ve gotten him to about 30% with just an add phase and a final burn in the cold zone standing between us and 5/8 Mythic. Amazingly the Mythic strategy for him doesn’t even have you splitting the main phase between the elemental zones. You just let him sit and rain all sorts of fiery damage down on your heads while your healers cry. It’s the best kind of Mythic strategy nonsense where you can cut out an entire section of the fight because it’s just not worth it to learn the actual mechanics if you can throw brute force at the problem.

While I try and talk some engineers into making an elemental grounding rod that works for all elements and not just lighting, it’s time for — The Queue!

Midst is a podcast that has already aired a pair of seasons, but thanks to the storytellers at Critical Role the Midst podcast is getting a fancy new re-release!

April Fool’s have come and gone and the thing that has stuck with me the most is of course the Diablo accounts proposed classes for the upcoming Diablo 12. How dare they dangle the thing I want most in all video games in front of me like that! All I want to do is be a giant bear making a mess of things in anything I play!

Fighting game? Bear! Racing game? Bear! Quaint housing sim? You better bear-lieve me that it’s a bear!

I hope this is one of those situations like we always saw with the ThinkGeek products where a week later they’re announced as actually being produced.

While I sell someones soul to Diablo to make this happen, it’s time for — The Queue!

Literally!

However, the spider has still proven to be too much for my rag-tag band of misfits to be able to overcome. Maybe if more people have the new rings next week we’ll be able to apply a little more brute force to overcome our mechanical difficulties.

While I wonder once again why the Ice-Climbers Cleats don’t prevent the icy patches in the fight from working on me, it’s time for — The Queue!

I’ve played my way through the Diablo 4 beta and gotten the achievement so I can have my very own sleepy puppy accessory once the game launches. Those clever jerks knew just what would get me to spend more time in the beta past the first few levels, and it’s apparently cute wolf-themed apparel. Good thing they didn’t have some sort of bear-themed things or I would’ve had to call in sick to work this weekend.

Before I jump back into the beta and do just a few more side quests, it’s time for — The Queue!
