The Queue

I love the season of Autumn. Brewfest! Cool evenings! Apple cider! Leaves changing color! Harvest Festivals! Pumpkin spice! American Football! Brewfest!

Sadly in my part of the country it’s still annoyingly very much Summer, but it’s nice to start thinking about all the good times to be had before Winter has to go and ruin it all.

While we wait for the actual changing of the seasons let’s answer some queue questions!

Yesterday, Eno asked the following question:

What’s your most memorable comic book that involved dinosaurs of any kind?

And so now I must tell you all a story.

When it’s butt o’clock and you’ve just volunteered to fill in the Queue, what can get you pumped enough to actually do it? Ministry. That’s right.

This part of the year is always the worst for me. I hate the heat and fall is my favorite season, so when people start talking about how fall is well on its way when we haven’t had an overnight low under 75 F in a month, it feels like a taunt. But I’m stubborn, so I’ll just curl up under a fuzzy blanket with a seasonal beverage and sweat.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we supply the answers with a dash of nutmeg.

There was much rejoicing in Cory-land last night as my guild and I finally put the nail in the coffin for the Failed Experiments. It took many many many more pulls than I thought it would, but we finally got the hang of it and proved why Neltharion was right to abandon these early prototype Dracthyr.

The problem now is that every Mythic boss after this point is harder than the last. Well except for Magmorax, he’s apparently a pretty big pushover — comparatively. Still though, as long as we get Rashok down consistently and I can snag my extra fancy polearm, I’ll consider this raid a success.

Just as long as I don’t have to go uphill while wearing ice skates…

While I invest in some new lava proof underwear, it’s time for — The Queue!

Questions questions questions, the master wants murder.

The master also wants questions, and Cory is always there to provide. But, you know, next Thursday maybe someone else would also ask some questions. That’d be pretty great. They don’t (necessarily) have to be about music, either! You can ask any question you’d like.

I may not have an answer to every question, but it’s always nice to be asked, you know?

So let’s set about answering Cory’s questions. (And maybe a few others.)

You know when you say something innocuous and then you start laughing your head off, and you just can’t stop, and the laughing gets louder and more shrill with every passing second until you sound like Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson having a laugh off? Cause that’s me. The best part is that I’m wearing an eye patch (my right eye blew up this week) so I really am starting to look like a supervillain.

Anyway you puny mortals seriously how do these guys talk like that it’s so embarrassing but yeah this is the Queue. I was going to name it Taking Phantom Liberties or something but I’m way too tired for wordplay right now.

Oh hi there. I don’t know about y’all, but this week — and August as a whole — have been flying by. But hey, that just means Hardcore Classic realms and a shiny new patch for Dragonflight will be here sooner than we know it.

I’ll be partaking in one of those for sure, and maybe the other. Before that, though, we have something to do. Or should I say, something to…

…Queue.

Good Morning, Queue! I feel like I’ve used this particular conceit before, but if so it’s still fine — we’re doing a sequel. By know, you should know that anything goes.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we are sorry, not sorry about our answers.

Outland is as close to Mars as I think exists in the Azeroth universe. Some of it’s even red!

I’d bet at least five BlizzardWatch Bux™ that there’s even a quest in Burning Crusade that references David Bowie.

While I try and remember all of the quests from 2007, it’s time for — The Queue!
