The 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!

Okay real talk guys. If this place with the world soul’s beating heart and a shiny necklace is a Titan facility, who are those guys up on the ceiling? Are they just representations of the Titans? Or…well let’s face it, the Titans built the Titanforged out of stone, right? So were those faces in the ceiling actual, you know, creatures at one point who were essentially taken out by the world’s worst migraine? Inquiring minds want to know.

Inquiring minds have other questions that are probably way easier to answer though, so let’s get to yours, shall we?

Sometimes I seriously don’t understand what I’m up to. Switching back to Warrior? After spending the better part of a month grinding reps and getting geared on my DK? Seriously I think I have some sincere issues that would require a team of trained professionals to unravel.

Anyway, here’s the Queue. And the R, for the one person who loves that joke.

Damn you, Shredder!

I can’t believe we’ve gone so long without using this headline. In fact, we’ve gone so long that this headline may be off-trend, a meme that has come and gone. But nevertheless, I begin today’s Queue with the game’s most heartening phrase: a turtle made it to the water.

Happy Tuesday, folks! Who’s ready for some good ol’ fashioned Tuesday stuff?

Before I dive into your questions, I have a question for all of you: What song(s) do you know of that have the biggest contrast between sounding upbeat and happy versus lyrics that are sad/existential/totally not what you’d expect from the tune?

I’ll let you ponder that while I do some Queue.

I love my trash lizard dad and I will follow him to the ends of the earth.

What’s a Quest Bang? Well, I just found out that’s what the exclamation points that float over questgiver heads in games like WoW are called. I kind of love it, I won’t even pretend otherwise.

And yes, that is my Death Knight with a rainbow coming out of her head. Well, not really, but close enough.

Let’s chat, guys.

Hot to trot, make any toon’s eyes pop
It uses what it’s got to get whatever the mob don’t got
Druids drool like fools, but then again they’re only elven’
The stick was a hit because it’s damage was bookin’
Gold, pearls, rubies, crazy diamonds
Nothin’ we ever wore was even common

Let’s talk about weapons, Blizzard
Let’s talk about you and me
Let’s talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be

Let’s talk about weapons.

Editor’s Note: You’re welcome.

But Jaina proved that even the worst shipwrecks can turn into beautiful arcane death-dealing machines, and isn’t that what we all want in life? Of course it is.

Let’s fly on to the rest of the Queue.

It’s been a little while since I wrote about Fortnite in one of these intros, but it’s about time to do so again. Why? Because a few weeks back, the mysterious crack in the sky disappeared — but it left behind a gift! That gift was the mysterious Cube, which spawned after lightning struck the same area several times over the course of a day or so. When the Cube finally appeared, players noticed it would bounce them away if they touched it, as well as lash out at anyone nearby if attacked.

Then, it started moving.

It’s moved pretty far at this point, and it’s already left behind two runes surrounded areas of low-gravity. Oh, and at one point during the Summer Skirmish, it made everyone float — literally no one had seen that before or expected it (not everyone found it as funny as I did). All in all, the mystery of the Cube and where it’s going is yet another example of Fortnite keeping players intrigued through seemingly small changes that are clearly building toward something big.

Anyhow, I suppose it’s time we talk Blizzard, huh? This is The Queue.
