The Queue: The Black Parade

My son is home for school break and singing all his favorites at top volume all day long. He’s discovered early 00s pop punk, and also he spends a lot of time in my office, so every article I write, I have to be very careful not to include lyrics unintentionally.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and we’ll carry on.


The Queue: Collector’s Edition

Check out my new, slightly used copy of Warcraft 3’s collector’s edition! It’s so shiny and full of great art and fun little side bits.

I got it for a song and a half, too, so I’m pretty happy to have it up on my shelf. It’s even got the original CD key, so I wonder if I could install it on a computer without the internet and play the very base version of the game before all of the patches and such tweaked things. It’d be interesting to find out!

While I see if I still have a computer with a cd tray, it’s time for — The Queue!


The Queue: Tactics

Tactics? Ha! Everyone’s got them. The Jinyu contemplate things like it’s some kind of staring contest. The Shado-Pan meditate before battle like they’re heading out for tea time. Me? I dance through the chaos, and the chaos dances for me.

The key to ‘tactics’ is this: be what they don’t expect. When they guard high, strike low! When they chase you, lead them off a cliff! When they think they’ve won, you’re already three steps ahead, stealing their luckydos and trading ’em to the grummles for a rampaging yak!

Sometimes a clever trick beats a thousand blades. Sometimes a banana peel wins a war.
