The Queue: Glory be for a bounty so richly abundant!

This little guy might be the highlight of the weekly events for me. Hunting down wayward Magisters and Thornspeakers for a weirdo with a suffering fixation? Holding fancy parties in the woods? Defending a black hole in the Voidstorm? No thanks. I’ll take this little rat loa, his big booming voice, and his pachinko machine world event. Though maybe doing it sixteen times last week by using eight shards from early access and eight more from week one was a lot.

No, your eyes do not deceive you: it’s a brand new Queue author! But if there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s authoritatively answering questions like I know what I’m talking about, so let’s get into it; you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.


How do you balance old and new content when playing long-running games?

Midnight is officially live, but that doesn't mean that the previous 21 years of World of Warcraft content has gone anywhere -- and if you're anything like me, you have been striking a balance between defending the Sunwell from Xal'atath's invading forces and running decade-old dungeons and quests to farm mounts, achievement, and transmog.

The Queue: behold!

My favorite thing about gaming is the weird lil guys. They’re rarer in AAA, but they’re there if you look.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and we don’t have answers. Just fish.


The Queue: Worlds collide

I love it when two of my interests come crashing together like a pair of hockey players slamming each other into the boards! Once again, World of Warcraft sponsored an Edmonton Oilers game, and they were exceedingly kind in inviting me along for the ride! The Blood Elves came back to support the Oilers, and there were prizes, pizzas being parachuted down from the ceiling, and a cool limited edition t-shirt of the Oilers mascot, Hunter the Lynx, glowing all void-y with the Warcraft W on his chest.

Last time they had us up in the special fancy box to watch the game, this time we were rinkside, and what an experience that was. I’ve never been so close to a professional hockey game! The puck was amazingly loud; you felt every slapshot that hit the boards viscerally. It was also super cool to hear it skitter along the glass as they passed it around the end of the rink. To say nothing of watching the aforementioned body checks up close and personal. It gives you a whole new appreciation of the things hockey players put their bodies through.

Sadly, the Oilers didn’t win, so congrats to Kalcheus and every other Carolina fan that night. I was really hoping that the Oilers would be heroes in the storm of Carolina. Still, it was a really close game (until it wasn’t) and I hope they decide to sponsor some Oilers playoff hockey…

While I pitch Blizzard on an Oilers quest hub, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!
