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.


The Queue: Does Free Will exist?

Y’all talked a lot about free will and predestination and forced corruption in the Warcraft cosmology yesterday. I ended up exercising my free will and am not talking about it at all in this Tuesday’s Queue.

I will say that one of the things I liked about Warcraft III is that Arthas damns himself. Every step of the way, he makes choices, and they lead him step by step to his ultimate fate. Even taking up Frostmourne is a choice he made after being repeatedly warned not to do it. To my mind that’s a lot more interesting than getting shot with a magic red dart that might be a Tear of Elune and turning bad just because.


The Queue: Catching Up

Hey everyone. How’s every little thing?

I’m playing catch up in WoW lately, I’ve been sick and stressed and had a lot of real life stuff that made playing hard. But now I’m working on getting back to it, and that means a lot of World Quests and such. I definitely noticed that chance to WQ’s in 7.1 when I hit 110 on my DK and suddenly, there they were, I didn’t have to go unlock them again. That was pretty cool.

Anyway, here’s the Queue. Since Mitch wrote yesterdays, y’all probably won’t have asked any questions.
