The Queue

I have conquered the mighty Tarragrue! My guild got our first kill in Mythic Sanctum last night and it feels good. I just wish that every Tarragrue victory didn’t involve me being dead on the floor. I can actually survive a couple of hits on Normal difficulty, but it’s just too strong on Heroic and Mythic. That last 10% enrage it gets winds up killing me almost instantly– even through my cheat death trinket from Kael’thas, and that guy knows a thing or two about cheating death!

We still haven’t gotten to the last bosses on Heroic though. Mythic Tarragrue wound up taking us fewer pulls than Heroic Fatescribe did! By the time we finished it off tonight, there was no raid left to go introduce ourselves to Kel’Thuzad. I’ve got a good feeling about next week though…

While I spend the next few raid nights killing Kel’Thuzad over and over and over again and watching him still keep coming back, it’s time for — The Queue.

Hello? Is this thing on? HELLO? Is anybody out there? Hellooooo?

My 2021 journey through the Soulsborne series is inching closer to its completion. The other day, I beat the final (non-DLC) boss of Dark Souls 2, which leaves just the DLC and then Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro left on my list of “to finish” Soulsborne games. For the unfamiliar, the games typically have a “choose your own ending” element to them — not surprisingly, I favor the endings that lead the world into an age of Dark.

Anyhow, I’ll talk more about my Soulsborne obsessions tomorrow — for today, we Queue.

Just a mellow Queue where I answered various questions. No real theme. It was actually kind of nice, really, sort of relaxing.

Hey guys! I’ve been on vacation for the first time in two years! Anything big happen in the past two weeks?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we answer them by cracking a joke or two because we’re deeply upset and cope with gallows humor because otherwise we probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed.

It’s my three-year anniversary of writing for Blizzard Watch!!! Well, it was on Saturday, but we’ll not get that up in arms over being a day or two late. My first article was this piece about how Blizzard translated Daughter of the Sea into other languages for the different regions — which immediately sent me down a spiral of finding all the different covers I could of it on Youtube. It’s been a shanty-filled weekend, to say the least.

I’m still so thankful to all of the people involved in the decision to hire me for getting me the job. Considering that before I got the offer from Blizzard Watch I’d basically never written professionally before — I think it’s been going fairly well! I’ve written an uncountable number of words for the site, and have over 350 articles to my name! Here’s to the next year!

While I try and figure out if I get a sword at five years, it’s time for — the Queue.

I said I was going to talk about comic books today. But honestly, I kind of don’t really want to? I mean, if we have any good questions in the Queue about them, sure, but I don’t really have much on my mind right now. Just kind of floating, wishing I could get more sleep.

Oh, I spent like two days just messing around with various looks for my latest V in Cyberpunk 2077, in news that will surprise literally no one ever. Rossi trying to create an exact look for a character? Inconceivable! 

This is my bunny Grimalkin. I wrote a Queue about her two years ago. I’m very much missing her today. She was a very, very good bunny.

This is the Queue. It’s been a week, huh? Yeah. Anyway, here’s some questions and answers. I think tomorrow’s Queue — I’m doing that one too — will be about comic books.

That’s Makoto Nijima, codename “Queen,” from Persona 5. She’s one of my favorite videogame characters of all time.

I wanted to say that, and I have some other things to say:

Edwin VanCleef did nothing wrong.

Elune is a giant Moonkin.

Stay tuned for more nuggets of truth!

Alright, let’s talk about it.
