The Queue

I fell down the Youtube video hole and found myself watching videos arguing about whether scythes were useful as weapons. One video argued no, another mentioned that the war-scythe was a thing but it usually involved taking the scythe blade and mounting it lengthwise so it was more like a standard polearm. The consensus seems to be that using a scythe unmodified as a weapon isn’t ideal — it’s not designed for it. So when I see WoW weapons like the Scythe of the Unmaker, I can’t stop thinking about how hard that weapon would actually be to use against someone else.

Then again, it’s World of Warcraft and I routinely use swords so ridiculously big they defy all reason, so come on, the Scythe of the Unmaker is almost sedate compared to Ashkandi or Armageddon. I mean, one of my favorite fist weapons is the hat of a dead Lich.

It’s the Queue. Let’s chat, y’all.

I’ve had a Queue title and theme all ready to go for today since Monday. Then I got to the comments on yesterday’s Queue and you guys asked about 5 pages of “Two Bosses Enter” questions and almost nothing else.

So you know what? You guys are on time out. You’re getting answers to the same number of questions you usually get (eight), and they’re pretty much all going to be about bosses entering. This is on you.

Sighs. Let’s Queue.

PS: Fantastic Queue header today is a cropped (sheered?) version of this very good art by @chootalks.

Crucible of Storms is a mass hallucination. Instead of trying to find this fictional place, wherever it may be, I think we should go out for a cup of coffee. Coffee is much better than hallucinating raid instances. Trust me on this.

In which Liz is trying to convince her raid leader of the above fact(s) and needs your help.

E3 is going on now, so I expected to be super excited about some new upcoming games this week. Final Fantasy VII, of course, maybe a few indies. I love oddball little indies — I’m pretty sure I have Annapurna Interactive’s whole catalog on my Steam wishlist at this point. What I didn’t count on was falling in love with Helen, but the heart wants what it wants.

Although I’m already making plans for my hacker granny murder squad, I’ll tear myself away briefly to A some Qs.

It’s the beginning of the work week, and maybe you’re feeling a little downtrodden, but just remember — Khadgar still thinks you’re amazing. He’s proud of what you’ve accomplished so far, and he can’t wait to see where your journey takes you from here. He might still be a little annoyed about that whole faction war thing, but you? You’re perfect, just the way you are.

Let’s get to your questions.

I like Tauren.

This is the Queue. Let’s chat.

You guys asked a lot of questions about Pokemon, and pretty much all of them involved Wooloo. I am very proud.

Now, let’s Queue.

Really, I’m confused. We may have to do a roll call.

Welcome to The Queue, our daily question and answer article, where you ask the questions and we pretend like we know the answer, occasionally consulting Google as though its arcane tarot will help, when all is screaming from both the heights of heaven and the depths of hell.

Huh, it looks like I got some of Mitch’s questions mixed in here again. Let’s A some Qs!

I’m pretty sure Anachronos didn’t mean to be all meta, but I like to think we’re in agreement that Garrosh Hellscream got kind of a raw deal as a character, despite how nicely his story dovetailed in the end. Thrall, I know you’ve been gone and there are important things you’re going to be up to, but we better be getting some discussions about this at some point in the future – just saying!

Let’s get to your questions, shall we?
