The Queue

It just goes on and on, my friends.

Some people started coughing because they had this cold, and now they keep on coughing up forever, just behold.

Let’s go do the question and answer shuffle. I’ll be sniffling and hacking up a lung the whole time.

With the wind chill taken into consideration, it’s currently -28° Fahrenheit here in Wisconsin. Enjoy the above postcard from the late night virtual vacation I took to a fake tropical paradise to trick myself into feeling warm.

With a name like Stormwind, you’d think it rained in the city fairly often. But when I saw it actually raining in the city on the Legion alpha the other night, I was struck by the curious feeling that I had never actually seen this before — not without a rain stone at the very least. I don’t know if this was expanded weather effects, or that I just managed to finally be in the right place at the right time. Still, it was really nice to see, and I’m kind of hoping this might be a hint that we’ll see storms in Stormwind with a little more regularity. Let’s face it — it’s super weird to ride in from super-rainy Elwynn to blue sunny skies the second you cross the city border.

I’m pretty sure it’s not really what I’d call a major spoiler to point out that everyone’s favorite shoe-shining gnome, Sheddle Glossgleam, hasn’t gone anywhere in Legion. He’s in Dalaran over at the Threads of Fate, same as always, and if you take a seat he’ll shine your shoes until they sparkle. The random NPCs were one of my favorite parts about the city, so I’m happy to see that at least some of them are still around. Jones the cat is still MIA, but who knows, maybe he’ll come back too. I sort of hope we’ll also see some new iteration of the Higher Learning achievement while we’re at it. Speaking of learning, let’s get to your questions, shall we?

So last month, just after Christmas, Lemmy Kilmister died of cancer. He’d literally just turned 70 years old, his birthday was December 24. Then this month, both David Bowie and Alan Rickman die of cancer, Bowie just after his 69th birthday, and Rickman less than a month before his 70th.

All three of these men had a pretty substantial affect on my life, so I’m sort of in a daze right now.

Anyway, this is The Queue.

So, I logged on to write the Queue and found six hundred comments making “nailed it” jokes to work with for today’s Queue. But I am definitely not contemplating terrible fates for coworkers who shall not be named. I would never. Definitely not. Never ever.

(Read: We’ll see who gets healed in today’s livestream.)

Once again, resident bard Mitch (check out our Heroes of the Storm rotation posts if you don’t know what I’m talking about) is joining me, and will hopefully counteract my grumpiness in today’s super-sized Queue.

Hi. I have an incredibly bad cough and it’s utterly kicking my butt.

Let’s do the Queue. I’ll be stopping to cough a lot.

Man, you go out of your way to save a corrupted wolf Ancient from certain doom and restore his shrine to its former splendor and what do you get in return? A chaotic ride through melting landscape and the worry that falling through the world is suddenly a far more distinct possibility than it’s ever been before. Thanks, Goldrinn. No, really.
