The Queue: Back to the Burning Crusade

I lost interest in WoW Classic pretty early on. I’ve been there and I’ve done that and I decided I didn’t feel I needed to put myself through it again. But Burning Crusade Classic? I had so many good times back then. I loved Karazhan. I thoroughly enjoyed the design of Holy Paladins, who weren’t good at a lot of things, but were excellent single-target healers who never ran out of mana and basically could not be killed. (Today healers are very homogenized and it doesn’t feel like anyone is tremendously good at anything.) My main right now is the same main I had in TBC.

A couple of days ago I went into some TBC raids to grab some screenshots for an article, and I wound up getting the last key pieces of what used to be the gear set I wore in TBC. I sold that gear well before transmog came around, so the appearances had been lost to time. I rushed to the transmog vendor and I put on that appearance and the wave of delight that washed over me is hard to explain.

Now I’m thinking that even though I didn’t have time for Classic, I might have time for TBC Classic. Or I might have to find the time.

Wow, that was a long intro. Let’s Queue, people.


The Queue: Yep, still playing Cyberpunk

I’ve done two of the five (or six? I hear conflicting things) endings so far and I’m working on a third, just to get to see them, before going back to completing the entire world, which is going to take me a very long time. I just found Johnny’s old car, which was fun.

Anyway, it’s the Queue, and I’m wondering if Diablo 2: Resurrected will be out by my birthday. Since that’s in December, I hope so.


The Queue: Look at that view

A few weeks ago, No Man’s Sky released a free patch containing companion animals (including a whole slew of mechanics like breeding) and I’ve never been more glad I’ve put off buying a game in my life. After the initial buzz was wildly, wildly negative, I was really wary, but the exploration aspects alone are incredible. This screenshot was taken on a world which was labelled as “rapidly disintegrating,” signified on the ground by a lot of volcanic activity and high temperatures. I spent a lot of time here mining and trying to save wildlife, bringing them back to my base on a Paradise planet. The ones that adapted to the volcanic activity aren’t happy about it.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions, and the WoW servers are down for extended maintenance so we may as well answer.


The Queue: Spring forward

The Bronze Dragons are at it again! Stealing time from us and causing untold mischief across the land. Maybe someday we’ll figure out a way to truly save daylight once and for all, but until then we’ll just have to put up with their chronal shenanigans. At least the time on my microwave is finally correct again.

Wait, didn’t I say this last year? I’m getting the strangest sense of deja Queue…


The Queue: Downtime

I heard we all get a chance to relax for a minute today. No responsibilities, no appointments, just downtime. See you next week!

Oh, that’s…not what “downtime” means? Oh. …oh.

This is The Queue, where as long as you have questions to ask we definitely don’t get a break from answering. Nor would we want one — probably.


The Queue: Wrong turn in Albuquerque

My group finally downed Mythic Hungering Destroyer! Don’t ask me how Blackhand got there though. Someone must’ve been messing with some wacky time streams. Who knew that he was the hero that we needed all along?

We wound up using four tanks to kill Destroyer and it ended up trivializing the extra debuff mechanic pretty much, it just took a long time for people to stop running the big deadly laser beams on top of each other.

While we get ready to save the soul of the Sun-King, I take you now to — The Queue.
