Hey, that’s me! Well not in the picture, but I do like spooky skins in my games. But I am a big fan of Fall, and I’m a guy…

Bonus points if you can guess which of these is my favorite!

We’re officially into the Autumn season and the best month of the year!

Seriously October has all of the best things: it’s cool enough to wear all my nice sweaters again, hot drinks like cider and pumpkin-spiced coffees, cold pumpkin-flavored beers, Canadian Thanksgiving, my birthday, and best of all — Halloween!

While I indulge in all of the above a little too much, it’s time for — The Queue!

It’s back, in pog form!

Wait, have I made this joke before…

Anyway, this is the first time in a long time that I’ve actually done anything at Brewfest. Usually, I just run a single Coren Direbrew to see if I get obnoxiously lucky and collect a mount I already have. Otherwise, there hasn’t been enough of an update in so long that I haven’t felt the need — which is a shame! I like the whole vibe that it has, but I spent far too much time working on it back in the day to get the original Racing Ram. However this year with the Brewfest-themed saddle and it being an easy source of Trading Post Tender I’ve been back a few times to run some barrels around — and just like riding a bike, I remembered the route.

I do like getting to fly a spaceship. The freedom to just point at a star and say I wanna go there! Firing deadly laser beams at pirates! Blowing up asteroids for shiny rocks!

Thankfully Starfield has scratched that itch pretty well. I do wish that there was a little more to do out in space in Starfield though. Maybe that’s coming in the future.

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!
