The Queue

Free from mortal shackles at last. Unity. Precision. Perfection. The Queue has been engaged. Combat starting. Ready… go!

Beyond all odds — literally — somehow I came down with COVID, and nobody else in my house ever tested positive at all. Not my children, who essentially go to school every day in a plague incubator, and not my husband who usually gets everything well before me, and worse. I don’t even know where I would have gotten it if not from them. I am absolutely baffled, and yet it just figures, I guess.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’ll answer just as soon as we finish hacking up a lung.

My raid ran into the toughest boss last night, the attendance boss, so we called an audible and cleared all of the Glory of the Dream Raider achievements. There was a good batch this time, nothing that was really all on one person to execute flawlessly, and certainly, nothing that involved us getting bounced up into the air and having to collect an orb before it landed. Larodar and the Council both even gave us an extra pet for our trouble!

I will say that I’m a little sad the mount for the achievement isn’t flashier. I guess there’s something to be said for that a giant saber-toothed cat with glowy purple energy coming off of it isn’t flashy, but if it really wanted me to be super excited it should’ve had a pair of wings! I mean that’s what my dream mount would have, so why can’t this one?!

While I dream a little bigger, it’s time for — The Queue!

Showtime as in “write the Queue” time.

Bring it in, everyone.

If video games are to be believed, in Japan the tradition on Valentine’s Day is for girls to give a boy they like some chocolate. However, it’s generally considered a good idea not to have all the girls you’re interested in show up at the same time. Hoo boy.

While I try to remember what I’m supposed to do on this special day, let’s answer some questions!

I am extremely grumpy today, mostly because I’ve come down with my third communicable illness since the start of the year. I got all my seasonal shots and take vitamins and exercise and eat right, but that won’t stop germs, I guess.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll pop your balloon.

Even World of Warcraft got in on the fun last night from the Super Bowl!

Although at this point I have no idea what is happening in the original moment and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. So until then, I guess I’m just wondering what everyone’s yelling about!

Is it lamp?

While I try and get to the bottom of this, it’s time for — The Queue!

What could possibly be in patch 10.2.6? I’m pretty sure I know.

We are one step closer to a future where hyperactive AI wearing corporations like armor suits do battle through global media consumption. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if I live to see us in tanks with wires directly into our brains playing this game Disney and Epic are going to make.

It’s the Queue. I’m terrified of the future.
