Look, I’m totally down with you feeling however you feel about World of Warcraft‘s story. But for the love of all that’s holy, don’t make death threats. Seriously, if this site didn’t strive for PG-13 style clean language I would be barfing expletives all over this Queue. The negativity in the WoW discourse has gotten way out of hand.

I straight up do not understand how I ended up even having to type a sentence like Don’t threaten to kill people because you don’t like the story of a video game but here we are.

Okay, so if you're the kind of person who cares about seeing the cinematics in the game, and thus wanted to avoid finding out how the Sylvanas fight in Sanctum of Domination ends until you got to clearing it yourself, how did you avoid those spoilers?

It's often tempting to forget that MMOs are full of other people.

Just in case you didn't think that Tazavesh, the upcoming megadungeon in patch 9.1, was going to be hard enough, worry not -- you'll be able to make it even harder with a questline that will allow you to activate Hard Mode for all fights in the dungeon, giving you another way to increase the item level of the gear that drops besides simply doing a higher key.

If you've done any raiding in Castle Nathria, you probably know who Rendle is, and there's such a thing as rubbing it in, Blizzard.

Went in to the eye doctor yesterday, which is why Anna had to cover my Queue for me, now I’m here doing Mitch’s Queue and despite double injections and having my retinas lasered, I still do not have eye based superpowers of any kind. No heat vision, no fel beams, no Cyclops style optic blasts of pure concussive force, nada.

This is the Queue. I’m starting to think I’m not going to get superpowers at all.

Let's get right down to it -- if Blizzard said okay, let's just go nuts, play anything you want what would you do?

Did you head over to Korthia and start on the exploration?

Game developers are human beings with feelings.

It is hot in Edmonton, gang, and it’s only gonna get hotter all week. I am sweating so much I feel exhausted while I’m sleeping.

Anna and I traded Queues this week because Wednesday is my eye injection day. So I’m going to be going out, getting jabbed in both eyes and then coming home to a 40 degree Celsius hotbox, where I will be simultaneously sweating, bleeding and wincing for the better part of a day. So thank you to Anna for letting me at least not worry about the Queue.

I suspect I will be talking a lot about Hyenas today. Possibly also giant enemy crabs.
