Guys, I know I’m kind of a dinosaur nut. But you can stop tweeting to me about Brontosaurus. For starters, the debate has just been started, not settled. It may well be years before we have a definitive consensus from the paleontologists of the world on whether Brontosaurus is a legitimate species. The study is very interesting, but it just opens the door on the discussion, and more work will be needed. Besides, let’s be honest – you’re all gonna keep calling it Brontosaurus no matter what.

It’s late so I’m sitting here listening to Ministry and writing The Queue.

I can heard someone accusing me of hating fun even as I type this, and its true. I hate fun. From my black basalt throne, I drink a goblet of pain and despair and my ebon wings unfold, blotting out the sun as I plot the destruction of fun. That's why I play video games, my ceaseless and unabated hatred of fun.

Warlords of Draenor plays with time and space in ways that aren't as obvious as the initial step through the Dark Portal. One of these includes the means by which we recruit Archmage Vargoth to be our follower. One of the strangest is the Cowled Ranger, because while she appears to be a simple night elf on a mission, things get complicated once she reveals what that mission is - the Cowled Ranger is attempting to answer a question players have asked since The Burning Crusade came out.

I spent last night thinking about humans. We’re terrifying if you really stop and think about us. We can eat things that are toxic to most other species. We can survive broken bones, gunshot wounds, all manner of injuries that would incapacitate or even kill most other species on Earth. Humans used to hunt by simply walking after our prey until it fell down dead from exhaustion. Then we figured out how to make things get dead even more efficiently. Spears, spear-throwers, slings, bows… we’re a terrifying bunch.

If you've been playing WoW for a while, you've probably been to Outland. Shattered world, formerly known as Draenor, you've heard of it. Every since we started exploring Draenor in Warlords I've been wondering about Outland.

Gladiator's Resolve is probably the best level 100 talent for Protection Warriors whether or not they intend to use Gladiator Stance.

Look, someone asked. It’s totally in bounds.

I'm not asking if leveling is too easy, I'm asking if it's too divorced from what we're expected to do at max level. One of the things that limits console RPG's from getting too much ability bloat is the limitation of the control interface, but MMO's like WoW pack on the abilities - even after the pretty significant trim that we saw in Warlords of Draenor a max level characters interface can have upwards of twenty regularly used buttons on it.

If you're a college student and you'd like to play Heroes of the Storm on ESPN for a chance to win college tuition, you should register now. How soon are we talking? By March 26th registration closes, so that soon.

I decided I wanted to get my Sha'tar Defense reputation up as fast as I could, because I'm a transmog junkie and I main a draenei, so I wanted to get that sweet Sha'tar Defense Plate set for him.
