The Queue

I recruited the follower standing behind my character in the header image because she had the Treasure Hunter trait. She seemed out of place, given most followers are wearing some variety of battle armor. This follower, Iven Page, is wearing a t-shirt, suspenders, jean shorts, and nothing else. Not even shoes. She’s an affliction warlock. Are warlocks so OP they don’t even need armor anymore?

Also, I refuse to recognize the existence of April Fools’ Day. (Though we will have a wrap-up of all the April Fools’ goings-on at the end of the day.)

Want to know how to make a boat load of money in Warlords? Just get your level 3 garrison on a handful of characters and run gold missions all the time. 1,000g/day per max character isn’t terribly hard to pull off. You just make a disgusting amount… so much so that I wonder if it’s going to be possible to buy your game time with that.

Buckle up. Nerd rage ahead.

I kind of wish there were more pet battle guides out there that didn’t automatically assume I’ve just got an Unborn Val’kyr sitting around to use for every battle, because I don’t. There’s a limit to how far out of my way I will go to do some pet battling, and camping the wilds of Northrend is over that line. I just want to beat the Celestial Tournament for once, you know? Just once would be neat.

You know, I’m guessing all those old raid bosses are already mad enough, seeing as how we can merrily tromp into their former fortresses and defeat them in a matter of seconds. But I’m pretty sure nothing is more downright humiliating as when a would-be hero takes a moment to stop, reflect, and snap a selfie before going on a stomping spree and nabbing all the loot.

I think I need to get selfies with all the raid bosses, now. Just for my own personal collection. Hm, who to tackle next? While I ponder that, let’s answer some questions.

Look, someone asked. It’s totally in bounds.

Hearthstone isn’t always (at least not for me) good fun… I’m not particularly good at it and never make it very far if I try to play competitively. Still, I enjoy tuning in to watch Matticus talk about it and, oddly, I had a lot of trouble turning away from this week’s not-quite-endless Hearthstone turn. There was just something about the soothing rhythm of the ongoing barrage of Arcane Missiles that was hard to look away from.

But now that that’s come to an end, we can get back to the business of answering Queue questions.

I’ve been running a lot of old raids for Raiding With Leashes lately. The nostalgia is strong. I still hate Ahn’Qiraj, but I’m a crazy person who actually enjoyed the old Silithus grind.

Welcome back to The Queue, where I am your host while Adam is out of town this week. Today we have a surprising number of questions about a certain Mr. Fox Van Allen, and since we’d hate to make you wait, let’s get right to answering them.

Oh, Isle of Quel’Danas. I still miss you fondly.
