The Queue

Another month, another Splatfest. Here in North America, it was a battle of which bad holiday present you would prefer to receive: socks or sweaters? At first, I was leaning Team Sweater because bad holiday sweaters are a sort-of pastime, and you should always have at least one for the holidays. Then, as many pointed out, I realized socks could be worn year round, and could also be hidden easily. So I went Team Socks.

My preferred weapon of deadly inking remains the close-range Sploosh-o-matic. It’s a very serious weapon.

Happy Monday! Let’s begin with The Queue.

Hey, it’s Shivara, she’s back on her Deathlording again.

Blood DK’s are still a ton of fun, y’all.

Let’s do the Queue.

It’s rare these days that I find quests I’ve never done before. Usually it takes a new patch, or the launch of a new expansion. But I realized a week or two ago that I’d never actually completed the legendary quest chain for Tarecgosa, so I decided to see what that one was like. I mean, I liked the Rogue legendary quest a lot — would this one hold the same appeal?

Well so far I’ve collected a lot of small bits and been thoroughly berated by the aforementioned Tarecgosa, who took our first meeting as an opportunity to call me an idiot.

I like her. So the answer is, yes, for now. We’ll see as the quests continue — can’t really barrel through them all at once when they’re reliant on raid resets and all.

Gnomes? Talking about Gnomes? Here? In the Queue? Me? I would never!

I mean, I’m way too busy trying to win a Hearthstone dungeon run to even think about Gnomes. Definitely no Gnomes here.

I hope you find the title as clever as I do.

Here’s The Queue.

Hello and welcome to another edition of Mitch Monday. The good news is that I’m here, ready to be Mitch for your reading pleasure. The bad news is, well, basically everything else.

Let’s dive into that last sentence, shall we?

As I write this it’s my birthday. As you read it, it’s the day after my birthday. That’s how things go sometimes. Anyway, here I am, here you are. Let us discuss things.

No yolk you guys, I may have cracked and mislaid my original Queue header for today. But while I was scrambling and thinking over easy ways to whisk up a new one, I remembered that eggstraordinary NPC in Krokuun who will happily replay any Argus cinematic, and I hatched a plan to exeggcute what is probably one of the best screenshots I’ve taken to date. I’m so glad I didn’t chicken out and scratch this idea.

Omelette you absorb this, but before you start showering me with what I’m sure will be several dozen eggcellent accolades, let me answer your questions, okay?

While doing the umpteenth run through of Suramar’s quest chain, I happened to look up at the right moment and notice…this painting. It’s a turtle, but it’s a glowing turtle. And sure, those candles could be just for more reading light, but they almost look like a shrine to the glowing turtle. What’s the turtle for? Why’s it glowing? Most importantly, why is this not a Battle Pet already? Inquiring minds want to know, Blizzard.

You guys also have some inquiring minds, so let’s just answer your questions while we’re here, sans turtle-confusion.
