The Queue

Let’s hop right into it today, shall we?

Well, they’re pretty, at least. And they put me in mind of a song.

This is the Queue. I’m not sure what a ‘Love Rocket’ is, but you guys REALLY want one.

Cory’s been trying to earworm me since he got the Queue gig, and he finally hit my secret weakness: musical theater. Now I’m trying to slap together a coherent Queue after singing karaoke for three hours. The neighbor’s dogs are howling. My family is awake. In the distance, sirens. I’m definitely not allowed in that Applebees’ ever again.

Worth it.

We’ve hit the start of the Love is in the Air event, and every year this event rolls around I get my rocket out and am just so very happy that I don’t have to get it anymore. I wasn’t tracking how many characters I was taking through each day, but it was a lot. Since back when I got it, you could still earn the mount on any character who could queue into the dungeon.

According to World of Wargraphs, the Big Love Rocket has only been collected by 1.9% of the player base in World of Warcraft. That’s a full 1.1% higher than the Felblaze Infernal that drops from Gul’dan in Nighthold, and you can farm him year-round!

So don’t give up hope! I believe in you and I’m rooting for you all! By this time in three weeks, I bet that above 2% of the player base will have their Love Rockets!

But until then — let’s Queue!

Totally normal day, totally normal Queue, nothing weird at all here. Everything is completely as expected.

I’m sure a few of you out there understand how excited I am for this game, but man… I am so freaking excited for this game. I even managed to snag myself a pre-order of the Special Edition Switch, which… well, that’s very much not my usual M.O. for a console I already own, even if I am able to sell it. March 20 cannot get here faster.

While we wait, though, why not have a Queue?

So last night this dropped. Combined with the 2h weapon from my Proudmoore Admiralty emissary chest, I have two 445 weapons, which is doing pretty well for my very casual self in my very casual raid. But on perusing my transmog collection, I now realized I have Sk’shuul Vaz, Dark Edge of Insanity and Xal’atoh, Desecrated Image of Gorehowl. I’m pretty sure this means I have every 2h axe that has a big eye (or several) sticking out of it in the entire game.

I feel like Dark Edge is my formal eyeball axe, Xal’atoh is my party eyeball axe, and Sk’shuul Vaz is my casual eyeball axe. This is the Queue. How many eyes is too many, really?

It is morning, and I’ve already heard this song roughly seven thousand times. I am not, however, allowed to sing along with it, because my four year old is a harsher critic than any voice teacher I’ve ever had.

This is the Queue, where you ask us questions and we try to answer before the next earworm hits.

Wasn’t that some great football yesterday? I didn’t really have a horse in the race since I don’t follow the NFL that much, but both teams played really well. If your favorite team won, congratulations! If not, better luck next year!

How great was that halftime show too? Shakira and J Lo put on an amazing performance. I’m still holding out for the Weird Al one though. He put on a pretty great show during the 2016 BlizzCon, and I bet that he could bring the house down at the Superbowl. Who knew that the only thing the Superbowl was missing was accordion polkas? As good as the game and the halftime show was, my favorite part is seeing the food everyone makes for their viewing parties. Some people go all out, and I love it when they make tiny stadiums to hold all the snacks or cheese balls that look like footballs.

I’m getting hungry just thinking about it, so we better get Queuing so I can go eat lunch.

It really, really is.
