The Queue

What a great show!

Watching Hamilton was definitely the highlight of my weekend even more so than getting to 9/12 mythic in Ny’alotha. I loved the soundtrack, but had given up on ever actually seeing the live production, so I’m very happy they added the filmed version to Disney+. The cast was amazing, the songs electric, the staging and choreography were fantastic, Phillipa Soo broke my heart with Burn like I knew she was going to, but there was one huge standout — Daveed Diggs. He was a joy to watch every time he was on screen. So much so that it almost felt like all of the other characters should be asking “Where is Thomas Jefferson/Lafayette” whenever he wasn’t around.

But enough about amazingly produced live theater. It’s time for — The Queue.

This, like everything else in 2020, is going just fine.

Just wanted y’all to feel comfortable.

This is the Queue. They sleep, but do not dream, and cannot die.

Illidan Stormrage never stopped being evil.

He sacrificed other mages during the War of the Ancients. He willingly used the souls of others as fuel for a ritual when he was in Outland. He absolutely would have killed anyone if it had achieved his goals. He was and is an interesting character, and the fact that he was so utterly, ruthlessly pragmatic is part of why he’s interesting. Characters like Illidan make things happen.

It’s the Queue. Let’s chat.

I tend to intentionally consume content that revolves around being cold — or even just definitely not hot — during the summer months. I read a lot of gothic horror, and I play games that revolve around not freezing to death. Unsurprisingly, summer’s when I usually find time to grind Wintersaber rep and the like, too. Coincidence, I’m sure.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we answer — after chugging some maple syrup, eh.

Has anyone found this frog and pig that are hanging out together in Nazmir? I wonder what’s up with them, and the totally random guitar. It could be something that we’ll just never be able to figure out. Sometimes Blizzard is just too good at these subtle references.

While we all put our heads together to puzzle this one out. I think that it’s time for — The Queue.

Life is hard, and the least we can do is be kind to each other, to the best of our abilities. Do good, be kind.

Some weeks, I can write an intro that’s fun and about a specific topic without feeling like I’m being disingenuous. Other weeks, the world seems like it’s so on fire that trying to pretend otherwise feels wrong. There’s been a lot of upsetting (yet important-to-bring-to-light) news in the gaming world this past week or so, and that makes this week one of the latter weeks.

So I’ll just say this: Be good. To each other, to yourself, and just in general.

Now then, let’s Queue.

Title pretty much says it all.

This is the Queue. I still have blood junk in my eye. It’s starting to improve a bit. I’m watching The Iron Giant and making myself cry over and over again.

What’re y’all doing?

Since my daughter started school, I moved from using a year-to-year day planner to a school year planner, so it rolls over at the end of June instead of in January. As such, I need to get a new one, and I’m just floored by how simultaneously optimistic and useless that seems. Day planner. Right.

This is The Queue, and I’ve penciled you in to ask questions we’ll answer.
