The Queue: Every so often I try and be fair to the Horde

Not often, mind you. I generally think that orcs, at best, make some truly awful decisions and trust absolutely the last people you should trust to lead them, and at worst they listen to Gul’dan. The first thing anyone should do upon encountering Gul’dan is to stab him in the stomach several hundred times. The fact that we let him go when we got into Tanaan, that was just… man. I’m positive I should have just started stabbing.

Oh, you’re trapped and they are using you to power the Dark Portal? Well, I can think of a very on point solution to that problem!

Anyway, it’s The Queue. Let’s talk about Blizzard and its games.

The Queue: All tuckered out

Welcome back to The Queue, the Q&A column for all things Blizzard related. If you have a question for the Queue, leave a comment and you may see it answered!

Poor sleeping orc peon. He’s had a long day of standing in one spot and making sure only the right people walk through the gate. It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it. You know what isn’t a hard job? Answering questions — so why don’t we just get to the business of doing that?


The Queue: Give it up for the foliage

Welcome back to The Queue, the Q&A column for all things Blizzard related. If you have a question for the Queue, leave a comment and you may see it answered!

Can we just take a minute to appreciate this lush tropical jungle, the myriad different types of grasses, the way the sunlight filters through the trees, and all those little shadows spattered all over the scenery? I don’t know who did the environment work this expansion, but every single last one of those people deserves a round of applause and some cookies.


The Queue: Because it is bitter

One of my favorite poems is In the Desert by Stephen Crane. It’s a short poem, so I feel safe reproducing it here.

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”
Let’s answer some questions.

The Queue: War and expansions

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments and we may choose it for tomorrow’s edition!

Today’s bound to be a feisty one — we’re tackling potential expansion announcements and the Alliance/Horde faction war. Brace yourselves.


The Queue: That’s a big horn

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments and we may choose it for tomorrow’s edition!

We have a bit of a short one today — y’all weren’t very talkative over the holiday weekend here in the US. That’s fine by me, though. After the holiday weekend, I’m not feeling particularly talkative!


The Queue: Jungle nights

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments and we may choose it for tomorrow’s edition!

I have a question for all of you, now: does Tanaan Jungle have a day/night cycle? What does it look like during the day? I realized I only ever play that content late at night — it’s the only time I have to play at all. Tanaan might be beautiful in the daylight and I’d never know.
