The Queue

I hear sneks are all the hiss lately. Everybody’s got sneks on their brains. Sneks are hogging all the sunlight. They’re the flavor of the month, and it tastes like venom. They just keep slithering their way into every conversation.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where snakes are so hot right now (ambient temperature permitting; give them twenty minutes under a warm rock or something).

I’d rather be fishing.

In a nice sunny spot on the coast. Maybe I could bring my umbrella. Not a snake or pool of venom in sight. It would be glorious.

But no, instead I’m on the Coiled Isle, having a panic attack while a dozen snakes twisted into a single mega-snake comes at me. This is the life of a hero of Azeroth, apparently.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I’d rather not talk about snakes but somehow keep coming back to them, because they’re everywhere and I can’t get them out of my mind.

Thank you for the idea, Jalamenos.

There are certain game genres that I’m not really a fan of, but I somehow keep stumbling into. I don’t really like fishing in games, and yet, somehow they keep finding me. Sometimes it’s part of a larger game, like WoW, but I have at least a half dozen random games on Steam that center around fishing. Dredge, Dave the Diver,  even Ultimate Fishing Simulator and I just don’t know how or why this keeps happening.

We went and saw The Pretty Reckless last week, and it was amazing! They put on one heck of a great rock show. Taylor Momsen has an amazing rock and roll voice, and the band backs her up so well. Their new album slotted in beautifully with their older songs like it belonged there all along. I’m glad that we took the extra trip to go see them headlining their own show, rather than the opener for AC/DC a couple of days earlier. If you get the chance to see them on their tour, you should take it. You won’t have a face anymore after it was rocked off, but that’s ok — you’ll have given it up for a good cause.

The rest of the trip was fun, rainy, but fun! We had ice cream in the mountains, soaked in some hot springs, and walked along a beach. The beach also had ice cream, if you can believe it.

While I look into plane tickets to another Pretty Reckless show, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

The fight between Gun Nun and Alucard from Castlevania is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in recent times. Look it up, it’s canon.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where instead of having tea with our potential allies, we’re forced to ask ourselves the important question: “if I were a bird, how would I react to this information?”

Some days you just need a nice picnic with your duck friend. To sit in the shade and drink some tea and watch the world go by. And why wait until some day when it could be today? Let’s go have a duck picnic.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where we attempt to answer your question and sometimes ducks just show up. Let’s go!

Behold, Dimetrodon! Not a direct ancestor of us mammals, they are still a beloved relative of us all and more closely related to you (yes, even you, Kalcheus) than they are to the Dinosaurs people often mistake them for.

The genus Dimetrodon has a variety of species, from the extremely small Dimetrodon teutonis which was 60 centimeters and 14 kilograms, to the nearly 5 meter long Dimetrodon angelensis.

And I know nobody asked but I don’t care, I love Dimetrodon like a drunk uncle that approves of us mammals in a distant, confused way.

I adore that we actually get to hang out with some of these friends in Neighborhoods. They are adorable and I miss them, and they were too good to be a silly little throwaway in one expansion. Given their adventurous nature, I’m surprised we don’t see more little contingents and quest camps of exploring old friends sometimes. There are always new friends, but sometimes the old buddies are fun, too.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’ll reminisce a bit, maybe over some tea.

It’s road trip time with my favorite person! We’re going to go see a band I like, visit some hot springs, and do other things! It’s gonna be fun on the bun. Or at least fun on the Twizzlers and other gummy candies, as the only way I can buy road trip snacks is to act like an eight-year-old who’s just been given a twenty in a candy shop.

By the time you’re reading this, I’ll have already been driving for a few hours, so wish me good coffee and clear roads.

While I check the map once again to see if there’s any short cuts to take, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!
