The Queue

By which I obviously mean a nice, refreshing drink of water because it’s the middle of the workday, gosh.

Y’know, my gut instinct when I first saw this month’s Splatfest was to go with Team Villain. Makes sense, right? I’m evil, etc. etc. — but then I looked at the actual list of characters on each side. Link, not surprisingly, was on the heroes side, however.

Link is my main.

So, I went with Team Heroes, and it… well, we didn’t win. And now I’m thinking that I should’ve just counted Dark Link — who is not an Echo Fighter like Dark Pit is — as Team Villain and called it a day with that decision.

Oh well. I suppose we should Queue.

Nothing quite like jumping into a new patch and nabbing an achievement — especially when it comes with a very pretty horse as a reward for years and years of filling reputation bars. None of the NPCs seem to be terribly impressed with him, but considering just how many absolutely bonkers things people choose to ride around on, I’m not exactly surprised. I mean, once a humble fruit vendor’s seen someone trot by on a four-footed pile of screaming Draenei heads I expect it’s all downhill from there, probably.

Let’s get to your questions!

I think the new fox mount is a touch better than the older one. But, being that I myself am ancient as the dawn, I figure I’ll stick with the older one.

I have no opinion on vegan tacos because I don’t like tacos.

This is The Queue, where you ask questions and I answer them — even when the question is technically unasked and I just want to rant about something for a while. Let’s jump right in!

It’s Wednesday already? How did that even happen? And worse, how does it keep happening? Every week, Wednesday leaps out of the shadows unexpectedly, always surprising me.

And so here we are. Wednesday again.

Happy patch day, everyone! I’m writing this from the past, so I have no idea if the patch’s launch has gone smoothly or horribly awry. Maybe it’s somewhere in between. Regardless, I hope patch day finds you well and that you’re not one of the classes whose changes are painful to endure.

Let’s Queue, eh?

I have a dog now. I’ve never actually been a “dog person,” but I’ve always had a soft spot for Badger — he’s one of my sister’s dogs, but he’s always wanted to be a solo house dog and he gets to be that here. He also gets to be relentlessly spoiled and I doubt he’ll object to that. He’s currently curled up right next to my chair, nose on my feet, where he will happily stay as long as I let him.

I have a feeling I’m going to be a dog person in very short order. Anyway, let’s get to your questions!

It’s my birthday. I am already having a rough day.

I haven’t mentioned it here much lately, but heck, it’s my birthday, go buy one of my books.

I am so very old.

Don’t fear floors made of lava, fear Grues.
