The Queue

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.

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.)

Our house, in the middle of our street.

Our house is a very, very, very fine house.

(Bit violent, though.)

This is The Queue, where we talk about houses, hell houses, and player housing. And we’re all out of players.

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.

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!

No, I didn’t die this pull. I don’t know why you would think that. I just really needed a nap.

Probably we all really need a nap.

This is the Queue. Let’s chat.

Yup, I’m riding around Night City in all black and riding an all black bike thanks to the feature where you can change the color on some vehicles, which just so happens to include this bike.

This particular V is significantly more aggressive than earlier incarnations — my current loadout includes the x-MOD 2 variants of the Umbra assault rifle, the MA70 HB light machine gun, and the Pozhar combat shotgun which is crazy strong thanks to the Kneel! mod. I’m also switching in some non x-Mod weapons like Ol’Reliable and scouring the airdrops for the Techtronical special weapons. This time, I’m definitely a solo — haven’t touched a cyberdeck and primarily use a Sandevistan for ease of targeting as well as keeping enemies at a distance.

It’s a lot of fun so far. Might try a chrome compressor build sometime.

BlizzCon 2026 is happening and I couldn’t be more excited! Well, that’s not true — I’d be a lot more excited if we were getting BlizzCon 2025. That said after BlizzCon 2024 was cancelled I wasn’t sure if we’d ever have another one again so it’s welcome news that the event isn’t dead yet.

As for whether or not I’ll try to attend I’m actually leaning towards it; I’ve yet to go to a BlizzCon so it’d be a new experience. The only concern is flying out there — I’d rather drive but Carolina to California may be too much of a haul. Of course it’s not just planes that give me anxiety as I’m not fond of large crowds anymore either. Now that I think about it I’ll probably be happier staying home and watching it on screen instead of in person. I guess I have 18 months to make up my mind.

Whether or not I go though I’m curious what’s going to be announced. If Midnight is out early next year as expected it seems a little too soon to be talking about The Last Titan (although the Northrend visual in the trailer suggests that could be the case). It’s definitely too early to talk about what’s after the Worldsoul Saga, right? Maybe it’s spinoff time!

While I dream about a Heroes of the Storm revival, let’s answer some questions!

Who would be the most effective DJ: a Mage who summons Mirror Images to help him, or a Naga who has multiple arms to turn knobs, spin vinyls, and press buttons? The Mirror Images will certainly double as special effects, looking cool enough to get the crowd pumped — but the extra arms might be more useful as a focused tool to perform the task in front of you (with a single brain commanding all the actions).

Plus, let’s not kid ourselves: DJ Manastorm would probably try to come up with some devious scheme to drain infinite power from the crowd, while Mixqueen Azshara would mass charm the audience to ensure their bewilderment to her act. It would not be a simple, fair battle.

While we ponder who would win this ensorcelling music showdown, let’s answer some questions, shall we?

Sometimes you just need to look at a picture of three murloc gangsters escaping from a bad situation on a motorcycle.

I have no more context for you. Hearthstone has always been the best for taking all of the best parts of Warcraft’s sandbox and making it into something special and more than the sum of its parts. Which could be ascribing too much to someone’s job that day to paint a trio of Murloc smugglers running away from a bad scene. Who knows! All I know is that I like it.

While I wonder what my life would be like as a smuggler, it’s time for — The Queue!
