Matthew Rossi @MatthewWRossi — Matthew Rossi is a synapsid, perhaps descended from Cynognathus. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and grew up there before leaving to see the world and be mistaken for a sasquatch and/or minor singing celebrity in various locales. He currently lives and writes in Edmonton alongside his amazing and beautiful wife and their cats. He’s written three collections of speculative fiction, Things That Never Were, Bottled Demon and At Last, Atlantis. He loves playing warriors in World of Warcraft, barbarians in Diablo III, and he’s beginning to notice a pattern here.

I kind of hope Argus doesn’t go away but I’m pretty sure it will after Legion ends, and that makes me sad. It’s pretty awesome looking.

This is the Queue, where we talk about Blizzard and their games. Let us begin.

Good news! WoW’s Allied Races will unlock account wide

The Queue: Ten thousand fish in my hair

by Matthew Rossi on December 29, 2017 at 11:59am @MatthewWRossi

You ever mishear a song and then, even after you know the song’s lyrics, the misheard lyrics stick in your head? That’s me all the time. Ten thousand fish in my haaaaaaaair. I also mishear Big Ol’ Jet Airliner as Bingo Jed Catalina for some reason.

Also, thanks for the raptor picture, Eno.
