The Queue

I don’t know what Team Salsa did to win 3-0, but it couldn’t have been fair. This may have been my most successful Splatfest and somehow, it’s one of the worst losses? No way. They cheated.

Anyhow, why not nom on some of the right choice — guacamole (preferably spicy/oniony) — while we Queue?

So it’s been a day, all told. Nothing y’all would care about, just life stuff. I woke up this morning convinced that the Cardigans wrote Linger, which is a Cranberries song.

Let’s talk Blizzard games, shall we?

It’s been a heck of a night. Toilet exploded and vomited sewage into my house. No, really. My dog was very upset with the repair guy. I’ve been up all night. It’s been real. Anyway, this is the Queue. That’s my beard. Let’s do this. No, I’m not doing the “Let’s Queue this” joke, I’m tired.

Let’s get one thing clear: When Adam asked if anyone could cover his Queue today, a not-insignificant portion of my reason for saying I would cover it came down to reading Lotharfox’s question below. It was, frankly, too good to pass up.

Also I’m still in Michigan and it still sucks. I’m not going to let this one go, despite several commenters claiming Michigan to be a great place. It’s not a great place. It’s just not.

All right, time to Queue (Queue).

Hi.

I’m back from California after a nearly two-week trip and, well, it sucks. Michigan is cold and some of the best people I know are 2,000 miles away.

Let’s Queue.

Don’t you know who I am? I mean, don’t you know who I am?

Last week I nearly pulled that on someone in my raid group, who kept telling me to read an article published on Blizzard Watch so I would understand what they were saying. I don’t think I’ve ever been more tempted to play the “do you know who I am” card. But come on: you lot do know who I am, don’ t you?

Come on and work with me here….

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!

You know, over the years I’ve quietly wondered if my memory regarding leveling my first character in WoW was a little misguided. I remembered it was painful and I really hated the lower levels — but the farther I got from those early days, the more I wondered if maybe that was just perception. I mean, I didn’t have the knowledge then that I do now, as far as gameplay goes. So when the Classic demo rolled around, I made another Druid, just to refresh those old memories.

It turns out I was not wrong, it is definitely horrible, and I’m pretty much the worst bear in Westfall. But I’m okay with that, because the wave of nostalgia upon seeing the old stomping grounds again was pretty great. And now, let’s get to your questions, shall we?

This Wednesday, I went in for my eye injections and I had a major panic attack. It was astonishingly debilitating and I’m just now getting back into some sort of semblance of functionality. The constant eye pain didn’t help. So that’s been my week, I hope yours was better.

Ironically, I haven’t gotten to play WoW Classic at all. My wife played some — we only got the one Virtual Ticket this year, due to financial constraints — and then retreated back into current WoW, where Hunters don’t have deadspots anymore. I’m told it seemed pretty faithful to the old game to her.

Let’s talk Blizzard games, shall we?

I get really in-depth in the answer to a question today about why people stay with video games. There’s a lot of different reasons why and it was fun to explore a few of them. I hope you enjoy!

And it’s to look good. It’s definitely not because lights are too bright this morning. Definitely not, because these sunglasses really do look good.

Are you buying that? I hope you’re buying that. Let’s do the Queue, people.
