The Queue

As the kids go back to school and I have Pumpkin Spice Lattes to give me a little extra motivation, I’ve been putting a lot of effort into sorting out my real life. I have a tendency to create doom boxes to get all this junk out of my face and then forget about them, so the beginning of the school year is a great time to try and sort all that out into a clean slate. No, don’t look at the number of Chrome tabs I have open or my bank. This is fine.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we swear we saw the answer around here a second ago. We’ll find it. Probably.

I think my favorite thing about Fated raids is that we’ve gotten to see Rendle in Castle Nathria again. I love this lil guy. Just so eager to please and fix our gear for us!

I also love that I think his pile of gold has gotten bigger since the last time we were in Nathria. That’s one of the little things that has made World of Warcraft so great over the years, little touches like that.

While I give him a little more gold after yet another Sun King’s Salvation wipe, it’s time for — The Queue.

And, apparently, somehow, it is also Friday right here. Whoa. So let’s break out the beach umbrella and get to enjoying the soon-to-be weekend.

Also, let’s Queue.

This weekend is one of those weekends I’ve been looking forward to for so long that it’s hard to believe it’s actually here. I speak, of course, of the return of Splatfests! As I’m sure I’ve mentioned at least once here, this is a brand-new Splatfest format, now featuring THREE sides instead of two (and a slightly different match-up format as a result).

I have no idea how it’ll go, but I’m excited all the same. Also, I’m leaning heavily toward #TeamRock because of Big Man, but I also really like Shiver’s (#TeamPaper) style.

Anyhow, while I think on that, we have a Queue to get to.

They meant it as a joke and it’s probably their most popular song. In my opinion at least, it’s absolutely their best song.

It’s the Queue! I’m using exclamation points to feign excitement! In reality my entire body hurts! Getting old sucks! Let’s Queue this!

The pumpkins come, and with them, comes inevitably their spice. This is what the Humans prepare for.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’ll answer, but not before we spike the whole thing with cardamom.

After a long and hard-fought fight against the Jailer, the last Fated boss has fallen to my guild. Here are the spoils of our victory — this ooey-gooey cat.

I will love and cherish him forever, even if I think he could be scaled up a tiny bit more.

While I try and figure out what a jelly cat eats, it’s time for — The Queue.

It’s the weekend, which means it’s time to hike up to the top of Icecrown Citadel to listen to Arthas monologuing in order to not get a mount or any transmog. Frankly, it’s a pretty distressing way to spend a weekend, unsuccessfully hunting transmog, but the only way to guarantee I don’t get any new looks is not to try.

So let’s do some questions and then it’s off for some fruitless weekly transmog runs. Let’s Queue.

That right there is the official Dragonflight login screen, newly revealed with the latest alpha build. I really like it! Granted, I’d still love to see rotating login screens because I get bored easily, but I know that’s not exactly WoW’s typical (M)MO.

Anyhow, enough about login screens. It’s Queue time.

Yeah, I’m listening to Filter.

So I’m working on a thing — not exactly hush hush, more that I don’t want to jinx it, but it’s a RPG product I might put up on Drive Thru RPG when it’s done, if it ever gets there. And it has me reading a lot of superhero comics, because it’s a superhero RPG thing. It turns out I like the mid-tier villain types a lot — not the world conquering or embodiment of evil types, but what you might call jobbers — people who get super powers and the first thing they think to do with them is rob a bank or whatever.

They’re not out to commit mass murder or rule the world, and I like that — it feels grounded, you know? If I had super powers, I’d probably try to make money legally with them, but I can at least understand the impulse to just take it. I’d kind of like to do a heist movie with superfolk someday.

Anyway, this is the Queue.
