The Queue: Blue Wednesday

I’m a fan of jazz music, but I wouldn’t really consider myself an aficionado — I only recently discovered Bud Powell, for example —  but I really enjoy the vibe that jazz provides as a soundtrack (like in Undermine). Blue Wednesday goes a step further and makes being a jazz artist the central plot point while mixing elements of Visual Novels, Walking Sims and Rhythm Games. It’s a little on the short side, and it’s too easy to miss some important things on the first day of the game while you’re still getting the hang of it but the atmosphere and vibe are fantastic so I heartily recommend it.

While I finalize plans to visit the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City this September, let’s groove to some questions.


The Queue: Look at this bear!

Isn’t this a great bear?

Surely Blizzard wouldn’t do something silly like introduce such a great bear, only to have players kill it. Then follow that up by telling players it was doubly dead and could never rejoin the cycle of rebirth that other natural things got in a whole expansion focused around the afterlife and letting several things get that treatment. That would be crazy.

While I take a big drink of my water, it’s time for — The Queue!


The Queue: Oh no

This is not what I expected, but when is anything what we expect it to be? At least I didn’t become a smudge on the streets of Undermine (again), but Goblin technology could stand to have a couple more creature comforts.

But where here for the Queue, so the Queue we shall have. Let’s get to some questions.


The Queue: Fasolasuchus tenax

I briefly talked about Fasolasuchus in a Queue before. But I didn’t really go into much detail about the animal, a massive prehistoric pseudosuchian in the Loricata, an Archosaur clade that included all living members of the Crocodylomorpha and the various large terrestrial animals once called Rauisuchians.

This was a big boy. It hunted early members of the Sauropodomorpha like Lessemsaurus, which while not nearly as big as later Sauropods was still over 10 meters long and weighed upwards of four metric tons. (I accidentally wrote kiloton here instead of metric ton and had to come back in to correct it.)


The Queue: Busy bee

I’m not sure what it is about spring that makes everything go from a dull roar to intensely hectic, but I’m hanging on by my fingertips.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we give the answers. No time for wit today, I’m on a time crunch.


The Queue: A little luck

Hey! It’s St. Patrick’s Day today, so I hope you’re using a green transmog. Luckily as a Druid I have no shortage of green things to wear. Not that anyone would dare to pinch a bear for not wearing green.

I guess I’m immune!

While I go put on every color other than green, it’s time for — The Queue!
