The Queue

Listening to Blur’s Song 2 and just letting the beat roll over me. I know it’s supposed to be satirical, but that’s the problem with doing a satire too well — they actually crafted one of the best grunge songs I’ve ever heard in the process. It’s up there with Sebadoh’s Flame and Pearl Jam’s Go, in my opinion.

Let us discuss your questions, good people.

Welcome back to The Queue! Adam Holisky is stepping away from Queue duties to focus on the important job of making the site go, so I will be your host on Thursdays moving forward, while Matthew Rossi will be taking over on Tuesdays. Note that some of our questions do address patch 6.2 and may contain spoilers: if you want to stay completely spoiler-free, today’s last question could be considered spoiler territory. Beware!

Now, let’s get to the questions!

Today’s edition of the Queue is full of patch 6.2 questions — and that’s no surprise, given patch 6.2 is the latest hotness.

It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for this, and yet, like it’s happening incredibly soon. The expansion came out in November of last year, and we’re looking to potentially be on its finally patch by June/July of the following? It’s so outside of my usual experience with World of Warcraft and its patches that I don’t even know what to do. I’m torn is what I’m saying.

Let’s talk about your questions, that will take my mind off of patch 6.2.

Wow, you guys love to debate the back and forth of Tyrande and Malfurion’s marriage. That’s a box of wet cats I have no interest in sticking my arm into.

A true Warchief would never partner with bunnies. Speaking of which, don’t forget that Noblegarden ends tomorrow — if you haven’t picked up the new Mystical Spring Bouquet, you might want to get that done!

I have a new pet. It is the best pet ever, there is no convincing me otherwise, and if you really thought I’d name it anything else well, I don’t know what to say to you. But I do know how to answer questions, so let’s do that instead!

Guys, I know I’m kind of a dinosaur nut. But you can stop tweeting to me about Brontosaurus. For starters, the debate has just been started, not settled. It may well be years before we have a definitive consensus from the paleontologists of the world on whether Brontosaurus is a legitimate species. The study is very interesting, but it just opens the door on the discussion, and more work will be needed. Besides, let’s be honest – you’re all gonna keep calling it Brontosaurus no matter what.

It’s late so I’m sitting here listening to Ministry and writing The Queue.

You know what you should do? Go and load our site on your phone — it’s much more mobile friendly now. We’re using specific technology to avoid a lot of the excess you get otherwise, and the result is that it’s pretty darn fast.

We’ll also be undergoing some additional tech upgrades in the coming weeks. We’ve been getting a bit spiky traffic lately, and while I thought I’d be able to wait until this summer to put things in place to deal with that, it’s becoming apparent that I need to act sooner. So changes are on the way! All good stuff for this little site of ours.

Questions were a bit light in the comments yesterday, so I’d like to issue a reminder: The Queue is Blizzard Watch’s daily Q&A feature. We take your questions from the comments of the post, and if we’re able, we answer them to the best of our ability. WoW, Hearthstone, whatever — any game, bring it on.
