The Queue

We’ve killed the Remnant of Ner’zhul once, and hopefully twice by the end of my raid night tonight. I’m always so surprised when it dies and there’s practically nothing left. It made it really hard to get a good picture of myself in the aftermath.

Even Soulrender who is up next (and stubbornly refusing to die) will just be a pile of ash when we’re done with him. The Jailer should’ve invested in some more durable minions!

While I go deaf from Garrosh screaming next to me all night, it’s time for — The Queue.

Yeah, we’re going to be doing the last session for my Riatan campaign next week, so I’m working on things like the stats for the machine gun that Mischief our Rogue picked up. Just as an aside, yes, it’s the Revenant from Mass Effect 2, and yes, it really does 4d20 damage per attack.

Anyway, it’s Friday, I’m covering the Queue, let’s get our Queue on shall we?

Let’s be real — this Queue goes live right as the 9.2 developer preview video does, and that’s probably all anyone will be talking about. So I’m just gonna dive right in.

QUEUE!!!

It’s still the best Assassin’s Creed game, and one of the best single player RPG experiences of the past ten years. So yeah, I started a new playthrough. In 2021. In late 2021. Gotta say, the plague scenes in Athens hit differently now.

Ah, my least favorite Jeopardy category. It’s always a smattering of off-topic nonsense. If one question teaches you a new little factoid you’re not going to retain it, because the next question is definitely not about that, so you won’t remember anything.

This is The Queue where we just answer whatever smattering of questions y’all ask us.

What a weird factory mixup in your regular Queue production — this one seems to be all Falrinn…

While I try and figure out which machine broke to give us this mess, it’s time for — The Queue.

I think I’ve integrated nicely. No one suspects there’s a Kyrian in their midst.

It’s not that I never have fun in November — I have a lot of fun things planned for this month already! — but I still don’t like November. To me, it’s always signaled the end of fall and the start of winter, and winter is something I absolutely cannot stand. It’s cold, it gets dark way too early, and oftentimes, driving is a nightmare because of snow.

So I say “No thanks!” to November and kindly ask that it be October again. I think that’s reasonable, right? Regardless, we’re not here to discuss blizzards — we’re here to discuss Blizzard.

Let’s have ourselves a Queue.

Waiting for a word
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in its blinding twilight

It’s the Queue.

With the Mercenaries release, and Red’s incredibly apt description of Hearthstone being “ten games in a trenchcoat,” I started playing again, and it would appear that I’m getting pretty good at it, actually. I found the initial release mode kind of frustrating, because I found in-game cash generation too slow, and was frustrated by how I’d be super close to interesting synergies, but it took forever to get a few specific cards to really execute them. Playing modes where that’s never an issue — Battlegrounds, specifically — has really piqued my interest. Unfortunately though, I’m at the point where I now know just enough to start getting frustrated again. That’s… good, right?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’ll answer right after this round is over we promise.
