Seriously, I was totally ready to hit this guy in the face, but someone had to teleport me back to the Vindicaar before I had a chance. Ugh. Don’t my Draenei friends understand that it’s my goal in life to hit things in the face? Apparently not.

It’s a pulptastic showdown in this month’s Splatfest, with those who prefer their orange juice without pulp pitted against those who actually have good taste. We’ll find out this coming weekend which team comes out on top.

Until then, let’s Queue!

Our good friend and previous WoW Insider podcast host Mat McCurley has decided that Star Wars fans need a bit of happy, something I agree with. And who better to provide that than the other (better?) half of the two-headed Orc MatMatt? I’ve recently given his show a listen, and it’s got the classic Mat “my other name is Ira Glass” McCurley vibe to it.

In episode two he goes into why he loves, and we should all love, Rose Tico. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that I think we should also love Rose Tico and what she brings to the films (and hopefully have more of it), and Mat frames the recent goings-on around the character in a perspective that is very respectful and spot-on, I think. It’s definitely worth a listen.

You can find more on his site or on the Happy Star Wars iTunes page.

I’m a sucker for metal covers of songs that shouldn’t have metal covers.

It’s the Queue. My Lightforged hit 110. I seek to cure what’s deep inside.

Maybe we didn’t get an Animal Crossing announcement for the Switch at E3, but at least I can find a charming and friendly alpaca in Battle for Azeroth, right? Look, I’ll take what I can get, and what I can get is absolutely adorable. Let’s answer your questions!

And you get a rainbow and you get a rainbow and you get a rainbow!

Yep, that’s just the kind of randomness you can expect here in the Queue.

Really, it shouldn’t be surprising that I’m calling this Nintendo Watch. What will be surprising is if Nintendo actually announces an Animal Crossing title for the Switch (a real one, not a mini-game one).

If that happens, I probably won’t be around to comment because I’ll have died from happiness.

There’s an interesting bit of history to share, the single greatest drop in viewership at WoW Insider did not happen the days after a new expansion released and everyone was focused on it, it didn’t happen during some of the less-than-great end game experiences, it happened on one day in November 2011. The day the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released.

Blizzard Watch is going to have a holiday when Elder Scrolls VI releases, and just assume that ya’ll are off in Elsweyr.

I’m really not happy just getting the Mag’har side of the story and I really want to see Yrel step through to our world if we don’t go to hers.

It’s the Queue. Let’s do some questions.

Why yes, yes I did spend a chunk of my vacation grinding rep with the Tillers and earning best friendship with all the farmers so that I could rescue a dog. Look, we all have our priorities.

My priorities now are answering your questions, so let’s get to that, shall we?
