The Queue

One of my oldest WoW memories is of the bears in Ashenvale eating my face while I tried to run through the zone at level 20. So many freaking bears in Ashenvale.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk.

I found myself strangely transfixed by the floating skull that followed Alex’s Warlock around on this week’s Legion livestream. He’s awfully detailed for something that doesn’t appear to be a pet so much as an orbiting presence. I’m wondering if he had a name. And I’m also wondering if Warlocks will ever be allowed to name their demons in any fashion — I know it’s a Hunter thing, but come on. After so many years enslaved at your side, you’d think you could call the little dude anything you’d want.

I think I’ve watched Recall at least a dozen times since it came out on Monday, partially because it was very good, but mostly because little Winston is absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to get the Baby Winston pet in WoW. Oh, and at least a little because I’m still trying to sort out who all those as-yet unnamed heroes are. But mostly for Winston. Because he’s the best.

Seriously, this was the worst I could do in WoW and it’s nowhere near as out of control thicket full of briars as my actual beard is. I feel like Emperor Norton over here.

This is The Queue. Let’s get it on like a video game ape who started off as Mario’s main antagonist before the guy started tripping on mushrooms and fighting turtles.

Hello, Queuevians! As you know, Mitch and I, common co-conspirators on Thursday’s Queue, disagree about a lot of things. But there’s at least one thing we don’t disagree on: rum. Rum is great. Pirate hats are great. Parrots are great.

And Legion is finally bringing us the one piratical change we’ve been asking for.

Maybe I’m just weird, but I’m very very very serious about wanting another Diablo 3 expansion. I want some of the things left unresolved resolved, Blizzard!

Did Leah’s soul end up trapped in the Burning Hells? If so, when do we get to go save her? What happened to her was the kind of injustice heroes are supposed to do something about, and after both her grandfather and father got screwed over by Diablo, it’s about time someone in that family caught a break.

Anyway, this is The Queue. I want a new expansion, or even news about Diablo 4. Don’t let this franchise wait another 9 years or so like you did between Diablo 2 and 3.

And now, in Curious Alpha Bug news: It appears that Troll models are slightly messed up, in that they spontaneously disappear at random moments. This isn’t limited to NPCs — playing my Troll Shaman meant that for a good chunk of time, my character was simply absent from the screen. In other news, this Troll Uncrowned Peacekeeper has won the weekly award for Best Underbelly Rogue. We’d say he wears this new badge of honor with pride, except we can’t actually tell if he’s wearing it or not.

On to the questions!
