The Queue: I hate turkey

Just because it’s Thanksgiving doesn’t mean I have to actually eat turkey, does it? Because let me tell you a secret: I hate turkey. I have disliked it since I was a small child, and my Grandma has a very funny story she likes to tell about how sulky I would get when Mom sent me to school with turkey sandwiches. (Grandma, please, I’m 35 now and totally a grown up about these things. Mostly.)

I think I am somewhat more polite about my dislike of turkey these days, in that I usually take a slice with a smile and then cut it up and move it around my plate so no one notices that I am not eating it. That’s my plan today, too.

(Hopefully no one from my family reads my writing. They probably don’t, right?)

But while it’s a holiday here in the States, Queue questions don’t take the day off: let’s get to it.


The Queue: Does Free Will exist?

Y’all talked a lot about free will and predestination and forced corruption in the Warcraft cosmology yesterday. I ended up exercising my free will and am not talking about it at all in this Tuesday’s Queue.

I will say that one of the things I liked about Warcraft III is that Arthas damns himself. Every step of the way, he makes choices, and they lead him step by step to his ultimate fate. Even taking up Frostmourne is a choice he made after being repeatedly warned not to do it. To my mind that’s a lot more interesting than getting shot with a magic red dart that might be a Tear of Elune and turning bad just because.


The Queue: Catching Up

Hey everyone. How’s every little thing?

I’m playing catch up in WoW lately, I’ve been sick and stressed and had a lot of real life stuff that made playing hard. But now I’m working on getting back to it, and that means a lot of World Quests and such. I definitely noticed that chance to WQ’s in 7.1 when I hit 110 on my DK and suddenly, there they were, I didn’t have to go unlock them again. That was pretty cool.

Anyway, here’s the Queue. Since Mitch wrote yesterdays, y’all probably won’t have asked any questions.


The Queue: Shameless

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Ahh, it’s good to be back. Not that I’m not here regularly answering questions alongside the Cho to my Gall, but today is special. Since Liz is once again off traversing the magical world of Disney and drinking lots of adult beverages, that means I get to have my second official solo Queue ever!

Sadly, those of you looking for an epic follow-up to my masterpiece of a tragedy might be a bit disappointed, as no such tale exists this time around. There is, however, a theme to this Queue. Can you figure out what it is?
