Dinosaurs
Why I’m sad to see Stan, the famous T-Rex specimen, sell to a private collector for $31.8 million
The Queue: Only through the elimination of violence
So I watched The Velocipastor last night.
It’s not a good movie, but it is an astonishing watch. It’s a movie that knows just how weird, potentially bad, and completely off the rails it is. Saying it’s funny feels disingenuous — it’s a movie that is very deliberately crackerjack, a film that will present you drug dealing religious zealots from China who are also Ninjas in a battle against a disillusioned Catholic Priest who cuts his hand on a dinosaur tooth and becomes, well, you’ve seen the title of the movie.
Anyway, this is the Queue.
What is the weirdest question you’ve seriously asked yourself about Shadowlands?
Prehistoric creatures that should be in World of Warcraft
Off-Topic: The Reaper of Death is the most metal-sounding dinosaur ever

The Queue: Yesterday’s Queue feels like a trap
I mean, seriously. The temptation to try and come up with something for Mitch to do… but I don’t see this ending well for anyone.
So yes. We must be cautious here, folks. This is bat country. Also, it’s the Queue.
Why should Blizzard add Gorgonopsids to World of Warcraft?
Off Topic: More dinosaurs had feathers than you may think
The Queue: Really, though?
I fell down the Youtube video hole and found myself watching videos arguing about whether scythes were useful as weapons. One video argued no, another mentioned that the war-scythe was a thing but it usually involved taking the scythe blade and mounting it lengthwise so it was more like a standard polearm. The consensus seems to be that using a scythe unmodified as a weapon isn’t ideal — it’s not designed for it. So when I see WoW weapons like the Scythe of the Unmaker, I can’t stop thinking about how hard that weapon would actually be to use against someone else.
Then again, it’s World of Warcraft and I routinely use swords so ridiculously big they defy all reason, so come on, the Scythe of the Unmaker is almost sedate compared to Ashkandi or Armageddon. I mean, one of my favorite fist weapons is the hat of a dead Lich.
It’s the Queue. Let’s chat, y’all.
