The Queue

Let’s talk about the moons of Azeroth and an eclipse in WoW.

I honestly thought I would have by now. But I haven’t. Just haven’t felt the slightest inclination to log into WoW. It’s like I simply can’t until patch 7.3 drops. Which means I’m going to miss out on the fun new thing, but that’s the way things go sometimes. In the meantime I’m enjoying my Diablo 3 play, so that’s something.

Well, okay, also my computer freaked out and I had to reinstall Windows last week so I lost all my WoW screenshots, and that has me bummed out.

Uhoh, the world is having nightmares. Should we read it a story? Check the closet for monsters? Give it a flashlight? Maybe some brandy? Look, I don’t really know what to do with babies, okay? But I do know how to answer questions, so let’s stick to that.

I’m sorry (not sorry) for that earworm. So let’s get on to the Queue, shall we?

I’ve been staring at my laptop screen, trying to come up with an intro for a little while now… but I’m blanking on something clever or unique to say. So, in lieu of an intro, here’s a quote from BoJack Horseman, which has surprised me in both its depth and its cleverness:

“Fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me and I’ll be fooled for the rest of my life.”

Oh the joys of a new wing in LFR…

Look, I’m really playing a ton of Diablo 3 right now. I’ll be back in WoW as soon as 7.3 drops, but until it does, I simply do not care about it at all. And I’m fine with that. D3 is absolutely holding my attention and the only reason I’m not Paragon 300 or more on my Seasonal Hero is because I don’t want to pull ahead of my wife who has been too sick to play this week, so I’m leveling some alts. My Crusader and my Monk are getting some love.

But come on, for me it’s always about the Barbarian and her OP for Torment VII Whirlwind build. I’m actually wearing the Immortal King helm, belt and using the Boulder Breaker so I can hit 4 piece IK and 6 piece Wastes (I have a ring that lets me hit a set bonus with 1 less piece, so I can hit those with 3 IK and 5 Wastes pieces) and it is sweet to have my Ancients always around while Whirlwinding for 800% damage and a ton of Fury.

Anyway, let’s talk Blizzard and games.

Hey, remember that Luminous Starseeker mount and Twilight pet giveaway from last week? Winners have been picked! Congratulations to Necromann, Brian of Ironforge, Hawx, and Diavo Jinx on the new kitty buddies. Check the email you use for Disqus, or reply to me on the original giveaway post with an alternate means to contact you, if necessary.

Now let’s get to your questions, shall we?

The first problem is that I don’t even speak squid. But the second problem is definitely squids these days.

I spent a decent amount of this past weekend playing Splatoon 2 and taking part in the Splatfest. I was technically on Team Ketchup (which lost), but I never really have ketchup or mayo, so I didn’t have a whole lot invested in who won.

More to the point, the Splatfest — and the game in general, really — had some great music. It was also super cool to see nighttime versions of every single stage for the duration of the event. All in all, it was a lot of fun.

But enough about that, it’s time for… The Queue(ueueueueueueue)!
