It’s nice to know that even when the world is going to hell in a handbasket, you can count on good old Jastor Gallywix to ignore everything in favor of spending a day in the sauna. I’m pretty sure the only Burning Legion he’s interested in is the one currently keeping the coals in there nice and hot. …can we get rid of this guy already?

You know, I questioned the logic of a half-melted dryad actually being able to successfully give me a quest. Then I remembered that one time that Khadgar shoved his head in a ball to deliver another quest, and realized anything is possible.

Ran a couple of mythics last night. Did some World Quests. Got some gear upgrades. Still no legendary.

Not really feeling the love for Legion‘s legendary item system and the luck protection thing.

Please ignore yesterday’s Queue header image, because we totally meant to do that.

Hey guys. Listening to Outro by M83, writing the Queue. How are you all doing?

Let’s get this party started.

We finally got our first real round of snow here in Wisconsin and I’m pretty stoked. I’ll be sick of it before winter’s over, I’m sure, but the first snow of the season is always pretty great.

Tethys, I’m pretty sure that’s not how you’re supposed to use a spyglass. You’ve got your finger in the middle of it. …no wonder Tess is so frustrated with you.

I’m pretty sure Tess Greymane speaks for us all, here. Let’s just…get past the gibberish and get right to your questions, shall we?

It’s a very cool find. I’m more excited about the recent news story that Sue, the famed Tyrannosaur fossil, might turn out to have been a male T-Rex because that would have implications for the upper limit on T-Rex size (females were bigger than males in T-Rex, so if Sue’s a male, that means there would almost have to be a bigger T-Rex out there somewhere not yet found). But the tail, with its perfectly preserved feather structure, is likely a member of the Coelurosauria (all dinosaurs more closely related to birds than carnosaurs were in this group) which means it’s a T-Rex relative.

Yes, T-Rex was a Coelurosaur, not a Carnosaur. Carnosaurs were more closely related to Allosaurus than birds, and T-Rex (despite its looks and predatory nature) was pretty darn close to birds. They may not have looked like giant rock doves, but they had a host of birdlike features. And one thing that little fossil tail might end up telling us is exactly how likely it is that they had feathers, at least in adolescence.

None of this is about World of Warcraft in the slightest, but y’all were going to ask me about it anyway. So there you go. Maybe someday I’ll do another dinosaur Queue.
