The Queue

I really don’t feel like I need to justify this further.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we answer, as long as you’re asking about ducks.

I didn’t remember to take a picture of my bear next to him — but we did it! 10/11 Heroic Sepulcher!!

Rygelon actually took us most of the evening. Getting the timing right with the Quasar’s and dropping debuffs has always been the trickiest part. On Normal it was inconvenient to mess that up, on Heroic it was a raid wipe. I gotta say I’m not really a fan of these mechanics where if one person makes one mistake it’s game over. Especially after how many times we wiped to Anduin Blasphemy being dropped on the melee clump. The rest of Rygelon was fine, my raid has enough people pushing 15+ keystones that we overgear the raid pretty solidly now, so a lot of the damage checks are just being blown past.

Now we move on to the first few bosses on Mythic before coming back and getting the Jailer. In theory, they’re easier but I’ll believe that when I have Mythic Skolex and Dausegne on the ground in front of me.

While I look up what kind of fish I can catch using a giant dead interdimensional worm as bait, it’s time for — The Queue.

Spoiler alert: they’re all the one where we talk about dragons.

Dragons are just so great. The flying? That’s great. All of those colorful scales? Pretty great! The ability to go full on Onyxia and deep breath your enemies? Really super great. I just really love dragons is what I’m saying. Video game dragons, fictional dragons, it doesn’t matter.

Dragons are just great, and if you disagree with me …. well, you’re just wrong.

Queue time, y’all.

Ducks and their relatives have been around for a long, long time — there are fossils of waterfowl related to ducks and geese going back to before the Cretaceous/Paleogene extinction event. Vegavis was not an ancestor of or a member of the Anatidae, but it was certainly a relative. Other possible (although more dubious) duck relatives include the Demon Duck of Doom, aka Bullockornis, although a lot of paleontologists think they’re more closely related to chickens.

Why on Earth do I bring this up? Well, WoW has a tendency to add things like saber teeth or spiked tails to animals that did not or do not actually have them. And man, I’m hoping they go whole-hog on ducks and give us something like Garganornis except with giant teeth in its bill for no reason whatsoever.

It’s the Queue. Let’s duck this!

Truly time is a mutable force, able to be changed and altered by many means, from nostalgia to pain, from elation to grief. We cannot know exactly what time holds for us, only that everything will change, but the past always remains the same, and can help to inform the future.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we wax philosophical and hope you don’t realize we’re super late. Not like there’s anything else going on anyway.

Here I am ready for another fun and exciting Queue, and apparently, it’s a holiday?!

I’ve never been so bamboozled in all of my life!

While I try and figure out a way to get back my lost relaxing time, it’s time for — The Queue.

Which would you rather have — one 6/6 orca or six 1/1 otters? This is the difficult question that the new Hearthstone card Flipper Friends asks you, and I admit I don’t know if I’d prefer to have the friendship of this happy, smiling orca or these happy, smiling otters.

But since I can’t answer that question, let me try to answer yours.

I didn’t exactly plan it this way, but in the past week, I’ve been to the movies, rock climbed, and started playing WoW again — all things I haven’t done in a very long time. It’s been nice, although still partially feels off. Also rock climbing absolutely destroyed what was barely left of my muscles. It’s gonna be a minute before I can climb how I used to.

But you know what’s not a first? A Thursday Mitch Queue. Buckle up — it’s Queue time.

Sorry, kids. Looks like time broke in 2020. We’re stuck in Groundhog Day: The Groundhog Year, forever repeating the same pandemic, the same chaos, the same crisis after crisis after crisis. The events change, but the song remains the same as we repeat 2020 forever. Heck, they’re even calling it 2022, as in 2020 2 — it’s a sequel no one asked for.

It’s the Queue. It’s 2020 2: Less Than Electric Boogaloo. Let’s do.
