The Queue

It feels like I’ve been here before. Like I’ve done this before.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I’m sure something’s different.

Hm. Well. While I think on that let’s get to some questions.

Where’s Mitch? Who knows!

What I do know is that y’all get a double dose of me this week! But in Mitch’s honor, I put on all of my corruption gear to make myself look as shadowy as possible. I think it worked a little too well because I keep hearing strange whispers… They promise such power, and sharing their truth with all of my friends does sound like a good thing to do. I mean, who doesn’t want to know how things really work in the universe?

I take you now — to the Queue.

Trust me, it’ll make sense someday.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk stuff.

Don’t mind us, we’re just farming a few raids for pets and transmog before the ol weekly reset tomorrow and– what do you mean it’s today? Ugh, why didn’t you warn me?

This is The Queue, and while I get my bearings we’ll answer a few questions.

Last week I finally achieved my goal and got Anna with one of the catchy songs. I admit it was cheating a little bit to use Hamilton. Who could possibly resist that, and I knew that she loved it already.

But no resting on one’s laurels here. I’ve done it once, I’m sure I can do it again! It has kind of been backfiring though, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t getting these all stuck in my head too.

Still! The show must go on — let’s Queue this!

Where’s a gnome to have a peaceful snack these days, huh? It doesn’t matter where you go in Ny’alotha: there are always eyes watching at you. And when there aren’t eyes, there are tentacles.

How’s an innocent player to get their food buff when someone (something?) is always staring at you? Is my hair messed up? Is there blood on my face? Why are you staring??

Let’s hop right into it today, shall we?

Well, they’re pretty, at least. And they put me in mind of a song.

This is the Queue. I’m not sure what a ‘Love Rocket’ is, but you guys REALLY want one.

Cory’s been trying to earworm me since he got the Queue gig, and he finally hit my secret weakness: musical theater. Now I’m trying to slap together a coherent Queue after singing karaoke for three hours. The neighbor’s dogs are howling. My family is awake. In the distance, sirens. I’m definitely not allowed in that Applebees’ ever again.

Worth it.

We’ve hit the start of the Love is in the Air event, and every year this event rolls around I get my rocket out and am just so very happy that I don’t have to get it anymore. I wasn’t tracking how many characters I was taking through each day, but it was a lot. Since back when I got it, you could still earn the mount on any character who could queue into the dungeon.

According to World of Wargraphs, the Big Love Rocket has only been collected by 1.9% of the player base in World of Warcraft. That’s a full 1.1% higher than the Felblaze Infernal that drops from Gul’dan in Nighthold, and you can farm him year-round!

So don’t give up hope! I believe in you and I’m rooting for you all! By this time in three weeks, I bet that above 2% of the player base will have their Love Rockets!

But until then — let’s Queue!
