The Queue

It last week’s Queue I lamented about being so close, but so far away from revered with Legionfall. Then it happened, and then the quest line finished, and then this beautiful mount was mine. Equipped the right armor and I don’t think I’ve ever felt as quite immersed in a video game since my Baldur’s Gate II days. And let’s not even talk about the quest; talk about a throwback to the classic days.

Which, by the way, I’m playing through again… such an amazing story and game that still stands up.

Wow.

Okay, there will be no spoilers here, but I just read a lot of them and my brain is reeling.

Let’s do the Queue.

I really like it when raids and dungeons are interactive spaces, in terms of layout. It was really cool going into the Cathedral of Eternal Night and being able to look down and see the opening room from the Tomb of Sargeras raid below. It’s even cooler to go into that lower level during the Tomb of Sargeras raid and look up — you can see little hints of the Twilight Grove gardens high above. It just makes the space feel gigantic, without actually needing to be the kind of slog you hate running back through in the event of a raid wipe, you know?

No, we’re not talking about that weapon of choice, we’re talking this weapon of choice.

Today is the Fourth of July, which means most people will be spending the day relaxing and the night reveling. For me, this holiday has always felt a lot like New Year’s Eve — not only is it almost at the exact opposite end of the calendar, but it’s also largely a lot of build-up to a nighttime showing of lights and noise.

I definitely prefer it over New Year’s, but it’s still one of those holidays that, as a kid, I used to look forward to greatly because it meant staying up late and playing with explosives. At some point, it went from something I was excited about to something I remembered being excited about, which means it’s hard to ever live up to what I remember it feeling like.

But y’know what? I’m still going to make things explode and have fun doing so. I hope all you Stateside folks do the same!

I’ve been really busy the first half of the year, so my WoW playing has taken a hit. For quite a while I was only able to log on once a week for an hour-ish, which really didn’t leave much time for anything. But now that things have quieted up, I’m left with a very annoying final part of a rep grind before I can fly.

2,469 more rep to go before revered. Then I can Ashes of A’lar all over the place.

Look, I’m not exactly unhappy about all the mounts you can get with Paragon rep, or the gorgeous array of new class themed mounts available. But look at that bird. Look at that amazing bird. I mean, it’s probably just a spell courtesy of Khadgar and all, but…I want that shiny bird. Can we get that shiny bird? I need to add it to my collection.

I’m just saying.

There’s no other way to phrase this: my coworker is a troll. And not the good kind of Troll you might find healing you in LFR or tagging along with you while learning to Druid. No, this coworker (whose name I shall not mention, not at all, you couldn’t guess) is just a troll.

Sorry about that.

Let’s do a Queue, shall we?

What? It’s not like I didn’t warn you guys!

Now let’s get to the remaining seven questions.
