Happy Tuesday, y’all!

I can’t think of an intro right now, so I’m hopping into the questions.

Oh. It’s not Wednesday? Are you sure? Completely sure? Absolutely, completely sure?

Hm. Then I really do wonder why I’m here. But as I am here, I suppose I should answer your questions.

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, so here’s the thing. I didn’t have a Horde 110 when I bought Battle for Azeroth and as a result I couldn’t unlock the Nightborne or Highmountain Tauren. I had a level 104 Tauren Warrior, though, one of my oldest characters. He was my first Tauren, my first Horde character I rolled back before Burning Crusade came out and I’ve tried to get him to max level ever expansion just out of affection for him. But with that said, I have to admit I was having real trouble this time out. And Battle for Azeroth isn’t making me happy with the Horde, to be honest.

But I must have a Highmountain. I must.

And so, in a frantic day of Matt is sick to his stomach but he’s going to do this anyway I got my old buddy up to max level. Then I went and did the scenario where Magni tries to get Azeroth to go back to sleep because why not? I’m debating taking him to Argus for some Veiled gear before doing the Highmountain unlock scenario, because he’s like sub 800 right now in terms of iLevel. Look, I was sick, okay?

The Tauren are seriously still my favorite in WoW. Just the best. Can’t wait for a Highmountain Warrior alt.

I’m not sure how I feel about Void Elves just yet, but man the Void is pretty, isn’t it? I mean, aside from being a desolate chunk of rocks just sort of floating in the vast nothingness of space. I think most of my time spent unlocking the Allied Race was actually just snapping a billion different screenshots of the place. Whoops!

Okay, fine, there are these new Allied Race whatsits in the game now. Sure. Fine. Whatever.

But none of them are Gnomes, so I really don’t see what the big deal is.

Blizzard has been kind enough to give the Blizzard Watch crew a heads up about today’s Q&A, which means there’s no possible way for them to drop big news while the entire editorial staff is out and about.

…Right?

Let’s Queue.

Adam isn’t here today. Did something spooky happen to him? I can’t say. But whatever did happen to him, you’re stuck with me today.

Mwahahahahahahqueuetime.

It will likely not be called Brontosaurus in game. It will almost certainly not be called  Apatosaurus, either. Three years after that debate reignited, Blizzard will finally put a sauropod model in the game and I’m over the moon. If players get this as a mount I will probably explode from sheer glee.

It’s the Queue. Are you a dinosaur? If not, why not? If you were a dinosaur which one would you be? I’d be a Giganotosaurus or an Acrocanthosaurus, I think. Big therapods. Gotta love big therapods, am I right? I’m right.

So I’m a dragon now. Well, my Priest is anyway, after finishing the Tarecgosa staff chain. I was slightly bummed that dragon form was not added as a mount for my Priest — you have to use the staff — but I put together a macro that will take care of things quite nicely, as long as the staff is in my bags. …I’m keeping the staff in my bags forever, because that was a really cool quest chain, guys. If you have a caster that hasn’t done the quest, I recommend giving it a shot. It’s a lot of fun!

You know what else is fun? Answering your questions!

There was a lot of talk yesterday about the best horror movie, but you are all wrong. What We Do in the Shadows is hands-down the best horror movie of all time.

What? You’re telling me it’s a comedy? Come on! It had vampires, it had werewolves, it had the terror of death everywhere. Absolutely a horror movie. I don’t see how anyone could disagree with its qualifications.

And now that I’ve started an exciting new horror movie conversation, let’s get to a new day of mostly on-topic questions.
