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: At least we’ll both be numb

Yes, occasionally I like a nice pop song. I started writing this Queue on my birthday, but it’ll go live the day after, so you don’t have to get me a present. Of course, if you chose to do me a solid anyway, I wouldn’t say no.

Let’s talk about those Blizzard games, shall we? As always, we’ll likely end up talking about Legion so there will be spoilers. I’ll try to keep that to a minimum, but it is a site covering Blizzard games and we have to talk about it somewhat.


The Queue: Lady Mara Fordragon

This is an image of the statue of Lady Mara Fordragon in the Paladin Class Hall underneath Light’s Hope.  We don’t really know that much about Lady Mara, save that she was High Clerist of Stormwind during the evacuation after Orcs set the city on fire during the end of the First War. She helped the refugees escape and served as their patron, and she’s probably dead now. She may have been related to (perhaps even mother to) Bolvar Fordragon, aka ‘Captain Toastybuns McDeadpants of Evil Snowcone Mountain’.

I’ve always liked that characters like her exist, heroes we don’t know all that much about, and I think the statue is pretty cool. So there it is.

This is the Queue. We’ll likely talk about Legion today, so be warned and on the lookout for spoilers.


The Queue: Artifactastic

So yeah, I’ve gotten the first stage of the Artifacts for Fury Warriors, Retribution Paladins, and Frost Death Knights so far. I won’t spoil anything if I can possibly help it, but still, spoiler warning — we’re going to likely talk a lot about the Legion alpha test in here.

This is the Queue. We talk about Blizzard games. Again, there may be spoilers for Legion, so proceed with caution if you don’t want spoilers.
