The Queue: Let’s make some happy trees

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!

Does anyone else kind of wish clicking the easel opened some kind of MS Paint interface in which we could paint our own garrison artwork? No? Maybe? …you’re right, we’d probably end up with a lot of really tasteless “art” screenshots flying around.


The Queue: Super Strength

Hi, and welcome to The Queue, Blizzard Watch’s daily column answering your questions.

Every so often I wonder just how strong the various races of the Warcraft setting actually are. I mean, relative to each other. Draenei and orcs are probably around the same (Draenei are a bit bigger and beefier, so they might be a touch stronger, with the orcs making up for it with frenzied rage), but are tauren the strongest? I mean, they’re big. What about worgen, or ogres, or… it’s kind of hard to compare strength when you have a three foot tall race that can use swords twice their own size, one in each hand (seriously, watch a gnome fury warrior sometime) vs. a nine foot tall race. But I do think that, proportionately, gnomes might well be the strongest race on Azeroth.

Either that or I’m just saying it to drive the gnome haters in the audience into a frenzy. Anyway! Let’s talk some Blizzard games!


The Queue: Sometimes I miss Cairne

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!

I found it kind of sad but sort of nice that even though Cairne is gone, his ghost was updated with the new tauren model in time for Children’s Week earlier this month. I also found it really weird that I was still taking my orphan to go witness Cairne’s funeral several years after it actually happened, but we’ll just ignore that one. Question time!
