The Queue

It’s Thursday, y’all, and today’s Queue’s a good one. So let’s just go ahead and… dive right in.

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for 15 years now, and I still want to know why we can’t just all be friends.

Much of the east coast of the United States is under severe blizzard warnings, which means the mods are asleep and I can talk about Planet Zoo, right?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and I try to make things veer precipitously off-topic for the next writer. I mean, and I answer them.

Raise your hands if you saw the above image and immediately had “Suffer, mortals, as your pathetic magic beTraAaaAayYss YOU” play in your head. No? Just me then? Well now you have it in your head, you’re welcome. Let’s get to your questions!

I’ve never played a single game Star Fox appeared in, but I love this song.

It’s the Queue after Thanksgiving, or as we call it up here in Canada, Thursday. I had a very nice day with my wife, and nobody else, and I didn’t eat a huge meal or worry about dealing with people I don’t interact with. I just spent the night with the person I love most and that was pretty great.

I can hear those words perfectly. In fairness, though, I can hear pretty much every line from that game perfectly. I’ve played it a lot.

Anyhow, this is a Thankful Queue. Let’s do it.

The two are right next to each other on the keyboard, really.

I mean, need I say more? Let’s Queue.

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Is Nozdormu in the Shadowlands? I mean, technically he’s still alive, but we killed him at some point in the future, but that hasn’t happened yet, except that it has, except for the timelines that it hasn’t, including the one in which we’re currently residing. So maybe not. Maybe so? My head hurts.

I think I’m beginning to understand why so many people were after Chromie. It wasn’t because she’d done anything, they were just trying to rid themselves of the bronze-colored migraines they’d been plagued with. Right, on to your questions!

In the 90’s X-Men storyline Age of Apocalypse, the son of Charles Xavier, David Charles Haller (a psionic mutant with multiple personalities who went by the name of Legion) traveled back in time to before his father and Eric Lehnsherr, the mutant known as Magneto, had their falling out. Legion intended to kill Magneto before he could become the super villain who fought his father so many times, but instead he accidentally killed his father, altering the timeline and removing himself from existence in the process.

In the altered timeline that resulted, the mad geneticist Nathaniel Essex took the DNA of Jean Grey and Scott Summers and used it to create a perfect mutant, one with psionic powers so great he could kill En Sabah Nur, the mutant madman who ruled that alternate Earth as Apocalypse. When the timeline was reset, Nate escaped that timeline and ended up in the 616 Marvel timeline, where he made friends with Peter Parker and Franklin Richards and even got into a fight with Cable, who was also a mutant bred by Nathaniel Essex (also known as Mister Sinister) by tricking Scott Summers into marrying and having a son with Madelyn Pryor, the clone of Jean Grey.

This is relevant to today’s Queue, I promise.
