The Queue

Well, I haven’t frozen solid, but I am running dangerously low on food. Luckily our cold snap seems to be coming to an end. We now resume our regularly scheduled programming.

Nothing big or potentially world-ending happened while I was hibernating, right?

Let me just take a big sip of water…

Yeah, my new best friend is a rat, what’s it to you?

A couple hours ago, I said I was going to bed. Almost immediately after, I got a second wind and can’t sleep. At least I got The Queue done before bed?

Anyhow, let’s snooze Queue.

I read all the tie in novels. I watch all the movies and cinematics. I pick up all the Chronicles, and I not only owned World of Warcraft The Roleplaying Game (it is, in fact, on a shelf in my office right now) but I bought Warcraft The Roleplaying Game back in 2003, a year before World of Warcraft even existed. I’m the guy who told everyone to buy Wolfheart and Stormrage. I own the Warcraft movie.

So when I say that I believe that you should be able to get all the lore you need to understand World of Warcraft by playing it, I’m speaking as someone who has made a concerted effort to pursue lore sources outside of that game. Absolutely none of that should be necessary. Blizzard has made strides, but they aren’t there yet, and I think they really need to be.

Anyway, it’s the Queue. I miss talking about prehistoric animals.

My favorite part about this patch isn’t the new raids or Assaults or anything like that. No, with the Auction House revamp, I might finally clean out my bank to a useable state! Sayonara to all those mats from the Garrison. Buh-bye, lowbie transmog gear. Hasta la vista, Pandaria veggies.

This is The Queue, where you give us questions, and we answer them. We promise we won’t hoard them in our reagent bank for five years. Oh, and while we’re here don’t forget to update your addons.

How cold is it you ask? It’s so cold that I heard Bolvar was setting up a new base of operations in the Firelands.

But seriously we’re looking at -35 Celsius temperatures over the next week, and all I want to do is hibernate. I mean I always want to hibernate — bears have the right idea — but more than usual I want to. I’m drinking a giant mug of hot tea, have put on my thickest socks, and have cocooned myself in a giant blanket all so I could be here. The only thing keeping me going is the thought of spending some time in the deserts of Uldum soon. Maybe answering your questions will make me warm.

Let’s Queue!

So I had almost enough questions, and then I asked for questions and suddenly had what is probably too many questions, but I felt bad for asking for them if I didn’t use them so… yeah, I tried to answer a lot of questions.

To mixed results.

So enjoy that!

No, it doesn’t stand for “Blizzard Watch.”

Anyhow, let’s Queueueueueueueueueuuuuuu!

Hi. I just woke up. Let’s do this.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head since I started writing this Queue and now you all have to suffer with me. Blame Cory, then toss a question to your Matt Rossi, your Watcher for tomorrow’s Queue.

I hope you’re all freakin happy.
