The Queue

Actually, as I write this, it’s quarter past four in Edmonton.

This is the Queue. I’m Matthew Rossi, your host. I’m listening to How Will I Laugh Tomorrow by Suicidal Tendencies. Basically my anthem for a solid ten years there. Let’s get some questions answered and some answers questioned.

The new harpy models in Legion are absolutely gorgeous, but what’s really striking is their facial animation. It’s not just the expression, it’s the birdlike way they dart their head this way and that while they’re looking around. I don’t know if the model revamps in Warlords were a test run or what, but they’ve really just amped up the quality with every creature out there since.

I’m pretty sure the last thing I ever expected to see in Legion was an underground snail-racing ring. But hey, I guess everyone needs something to amuse themselves with, right? Right.

As I write this it’s been well above freezing for days, and nearly all the snow has melted. I’m not fooled — it’s winter in Canada, it’s going to come roaring back and dump frozen water all over us, that’s what it does. But it’s still bizarre to be in shirtsleeves weather in January. (Yes, slightly above freezing is shirtsleeves weather in Alberta.)

Time, my friends.

Here’s the Queue. Let’s talk about Blizzard games. There may be spoilers for Legion in this one. If there are, I’ll make sure to mention them in the question/answer part so you can skip them.

I had a funny intro all written up in my head and ready to go. All I needed was a solid Wrath of the Lich King screenshot and it would have been perfect. But instead you get this, because Mitch derailed my line of thinking by sending in this screenshot. Which we of course had to have an argument about, because this is clearly a gross invasion of that seal’s privacy.

I mean, really, that kind of behavior is just not cool. Leave the guy to enjoy a nice bubble bath in peace, wouldn’t you?

That’s right, everything you see on the Night Elf above (minus the swords) will be plate armor in Legion. And man, I feel like that’s silly, because if any armor has ever not been plate, it is that collection of a scale corset and thigh high boots joined to hot pants that is the Glimmering Mail set.

You know, my dad told me there was a lizard in our living room, but I didn’t actually see him until yesterday. We’ve dubbed him Sir Couch, Lord of the Cushions. Basically he’s just hanging out until spring because it’s way, way warmer in here than it is outside. I don’t really see a problem with this, seeing as how the little guy is probably dining on bugs that would otherwise be way more annoying than a scaly buddy just minding his own business. So I guess I have a not-a-pet now. Fun!
