The Queue

Once upon a time, a horse walked into a bar and asked the bartender for a drink, as one does. Well, not horses usually, but just go with me. Anyway, this horse asks this bartender for a drink which is a normal occurrence because the bartender asks the horse, “Say you’re in here kind of a lot buddy, do you think that you might be an alcoholic?” This question gives the horse a ibt of a pause before it responds “Gee, I don’t think I am…” When suddenly — poof!! The horse vanishes from existence.

You see, this is a play on the famous line of philosophical thinking by Rene Descartes that “I think, therefore I am” The horse said I don’t think I am and thus must not have been. However, if I explained this to you earlier it would’ve been putting Descartes before the horse.

This is all a long and roundabout way of saying, I’m pretty sure I am — let’s Queue!

I feel like I was just here, Queue. Like we just did this. Everything is just so familiar…

Well, happy Friday, Queue. Let’s answer some questions.

No, really, I’m pretty sure today was my day off when I was going to kick back and play a panda. What happened to bring my life to this? To having to write words? Answer questions?!

But here we are, Queue. Here we are.

Irish actor/producer (and famed 007) Pierce Brosnan and American singer/songwriter/actress Janet Jackson were both born on May 16, which means that they celebrate their birthday the day after this Queue goes live.

Let’s talk about feelings.

Since I’m currently so busy with end of the school year wrap ups and events and getting ready for summer activities, I’m taking this opportunity to go through my gmail inbox and finally get a handle on my unread emails. I’ve had the same gmail account since before WoW launched in 2004, so it’s been a weird little time capsule to explore, from flash-in-the-pan historical figures — do you guys remember Ken Bone? — to ghosts of BlizzCons past. I just deleted the email notification informing me that I was granted access to edit the Blizzard Watch Google+ page. Ah, memories.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions, and we give you the answers — no, we’re not going to discuss how many emails, because Liz might fire us in disgust.

It was Mother’s Day yesterday, I hope you remembered to get Lillith something nice! After all, she is the mother to all of Sanctuary and doesn’t get the recognition that she deserves most of the time.

I was going to get her a nice box of chocolates, but then I thought up something much better — a brand new cloak made of the living skin from a trio of sacrifices! Just what every Mom deserves on their special day.

While I try and figure out if this cloak is dry clean only, it’s time for — The Queue!

Fly me to The Queue
And let me play with Hearthstone cards
Let me see what queues are like
In Overwatch and WoW

In other words
Play StarCraft
In other words
Let’s do Queue things!

And it returns, as it always does, to Celldweller.

A painful picture/
That I can’t forget/
Now what I see/
Is what I get/

Let’s Queue this.

Telogrus Rift has solved the issue of transportation among floating rocks perched at the edge of the Void by transforming your character into some sort of Void or Shadow creature. While it’s surely a creative solution, I can’t help but think doing it too often will result in extra shadowy appendages over time or a one-way trip into the neighboring abyss — and neither result seems ideal. Maybe Gryphons and Wyverns aren’t fond of all that black and purple?

That said, despite the clear and present danger to your character’s existence I do recommend partaking in the new patch 10.2.7 questline. It doesn’t take very long and you see the pieces of The War Within start to come together.

While I ponder whether an Earthen covered in tentacles would actually be a roper — no, not those ropers —  let’s answer some questions!

Sometimes, playing games makes me hungry. Today, writing The Queue is making me hungry. It’s fine.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll answer just as soon as we grab a little snack.
