The Queue: Spiders from Outland
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.
While I try and remember all of the quests from 2007, it’s time for — The Queue!
The Queue: Remember N’zoth?
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!
The Queue: Aberrus is glorious!
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!
What would it take for you to join up with the Old Gods?
The Queue: Everything’s back to normal
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.
The Queue: Wait, am I supposed to be here today?
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!
The Queue: Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
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…
While I learn how to hide secret messages in my posts, it’s time for — The Queue!
The Queue: Yoink!
Oh to be a small fox stealing a sausage off of a plate in a tavern. That truly is the dream.
While I wistfully imagine a simpler life, it’s time for — The Queue!
The Queue: Plague
We’re in the midst of the long weekend and instead of being out and about enjoying it I have the plague. So, I’m going to write a very strongly worded letter to whoever’s fault this is and go back to my blanket cocoon in a moment.
While I drink more medicated tea, it’s time for — The Queue!
The Queue: Progress!
We did it! After a couple of long nights getting blasted to teensy pieces in hellish fires, we’ve finally started our journey into Mythic Aberrus.
The kill didn’t even really seem that bad and even without the nerfs — I think it would’ve been the one that got her. We finally had all of our members working in sync and calling out things properly to ensure the fires didn’t overlap. It was beautiful.
After dousing Kezzara we moved on to the Zaqali assault, and let them blast us into teensy pieces for a while. We got into the final door phase a few times, but the damage there was more significant than we were expecting, and each time we were left strewn about the area in smoldering piles.
While I see about putting myself back together, it’s time for — The Queue!
