The Queue: Peter hears the cheese speak

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Sometimes I catch Peter listening to the cheese. I don’t know what the cheese has to say, and I’m still working up the courage to ask Peter about it. I know his title says that he’s a waiter, but he doesn’t seem to do a lot of waiting tables. Sometimes I find myself wondering, just where did Peter come from? Who in their right mind would say “Hey, I think I’d like to strand myself in an alternate timeline so I can wait tables for a living,” anyway? Maybe the cheese has the answers. I have answers too, but they’re just for your questions and don’t actually involve cheese, sorry.


The Queue: Time to hibernate

With the wind chill taken into consideration, it’s currently -28° Fahrenheit here in Wisconsin. Enjoy the above postcard from the late night virtual vacation I took to a fake tropical paradise to trick myself into feeling warm.


The Queue: Storms in Stormwind

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

With a name like Stormwind, you’d think it rained in the city fairly often. But when I saw it actually raining in the city on the Legion alpha the other night, I was struck by the curious feeling that I had never actually seen this before — not without a rain stone at the very least. I don’t know if this was expanded weather effects, or that I just managed to finally be in the right place at the right time. Still, it was really nice to see, and I’m kind of hoping this might be a hint that we’ll see storms in Stormwind with a little more regularity. Let’s face it — it’s super weird to ride in from super-rainy Elwynn to blue sunny skies the second you cross the city border.


The Queue: Shine your shoes

I’m pretty sure it’s not really what I’d call a major spoiler to point out that everyone’s favorite shoe-shining gnome, Sheddle Glossgleam, hasn’t gone anywhere in Legion. He’s in Dalaran over at the Threads of Fate, same as always, and if you take a seat he’ll shine your shoes until they sparkle. The random NPCs were one of my favorite parts about the city, so I’m happy to see that at least some of them are still around. Jones the cat is still MIA, but who knows, maybe he’ll come back too. I sort of hope we’ll also see some new iteration of the Higher Learning achievement while we’re at it. Speaking of learning, let’s get to your questions, shall we?


The Queue: In which I am not contemplating terrible fates for my co-workers

So, I logged on to write the Queue and found six hundred comments making “nailed it” jokes to work with for today’s Queue. But I am definitely not contemplating terrible fates for coworkers who shall not be named. I would never. Definitely not. Never ever.

(Read: We’ll see who gets healed in today’s livestream.)

Once again, resident bard Mitch (check out our Heroes of the Storm rotation posts if you don’t know what I’m talking about) is joining me, and will hopefully counteract my grumpiness in today’s super-sized Queue.


The Queue: Get me off this crazy wolf

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Man, you go out of your way to save a corrupted wolf Ancient from certain doom and restore his shrine to its former splendor and what do you get in return? A chaotic ride through melting landscape and the worry that falling through the world is suddenly a far more distinct possibility than it’s ever been before. Thanks, Goldrinn. No, really.
