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.

This may sound odd, but one of my favorite things to do when I can’t sleep is to put on a horror movie and try to accomplish some work or another. I can’t really explain why, but it’s something I’ve done for a while now.

Anyhow, it’s Tuesday, which means it’s also QUEUEsday. Let’s roll.

I’m drinking my Monday morning coffee from my custom Blizzard Watch mug and eating some pineapple for breakfast.

So far, this week is off to a great start! Let us Queue.

That’s right. The whole setting is just Jaina’s campaign. She’s still a kid growing up on Kul Tiras and literally everything that we’ve ever seen in a Warcraft game is just her imagining of exciting events in the world. That’s why it was Stonewind in the first campaign but ended up Stormwind in the second, that’s why the world keeps getting bigger — she just makes up new places whenever she needs a new place for her players to go explore — and that’s why poor Azeroth is the center of such ridiculous forces out to destroy it.

I tell you, Jaina’s a heck of a DM.

It’s the Queue, let’s talk Blizzard games. You know why? Because Jaina rolled for initiative.

I got a new car over the weekend — well, a used car, but new to me. It’s very fancy and has a dashboard display that lets me set my own wallpaper. Khadgar is there now. He’ll live there forever…or at least until the next owner of this vehicle discovers him upon purchasing it. It’s like a terrifying, real-world mobile Wondrous Wisdomball!

…I really like this car.
