The Queue: Gone fishin’

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!

Although I don’t exactly begrudge a loa some good old fashioned recreational sport, I do have to wonder what exactly ol’ Bwonsamdi expects to catch in that little creek, and more importantly, what he’s going to do with it. While these will remain mysteries, I can’t imagine a more suitable fishing pole for the loa of death, can you?

The above image is a pictorial representation of skipping in to do the Queue and realizing what exactly last Friday’s author left me to work with. Thanks, Mitch.

Regardless, we’ve still got a few questions to answer and some things to chat about, so let’s get to that, shall we?


The Queue: Let’s do lunch

Hey guys, how’s it going? Pull up a chair, grab a hunk off the old steak pile. Or, you know, have a leg of an arbitrary birdlike…creature. No? Perhaps a plate of crab-ish thing? I’ll chop ya a slice soon as I dig this hatchet out of the table here–

–oh, okay. Yeah, yeah I guess the fruit’s probably safe. Knock yourselves out.


The Queue: Smitten

You know, I wondered why goblins had crazy flamingo cutouts and other strange oddities strewn about their campsites, but it turns out they have a purpose. That penguin isn’t going to be getting underfoot anytime soon, is it? Given my penchant for flamingo-collecting in Animal Crossing, I can’t blame the little guy for his infatuation, but I feel a little bad for what’s inevitably going to happen once we move on to another expansion. Whichever Goblin is tasked with putting that flamingo away is going to get a face-full of angry amorous penguin wrath. I sort of wish we’d get to see it.

You know what I love? Answering your questions. Let’s get to that!


The Queue: Can I just…have a boat?

This expansion has given us some of the most lovingly-crafted, well designed ships I’ve ever seen. They’re a far cry from the stale and mostly-empty pirate vessels that litter the coasts, you know? Forget the fancy mounts, the pretty horses and cool raptors and frogs. I’d like a boat, please. I mean…if we can’t have player housing, can I just have a ship to call my own? Maybe? Seriously, look at that thing. It’s gorgeous.

And now, let’s look at your questions, and then answer them!


The Queue: Some things never change

2018 is drawing to a close, and frankly I’m all right with leaving it all behind. But as you count down the minutes to 2019, keep this in mind: Thirty years have passed on alternate Draenor since we defeated Archimonde and saved everyone, and Lantresor is still carrying around a mining pick. I guess he learned to appreciate his garrison assignment?

Regardless, let’s wrap up the year and answer your questions, because that’s what we do here!

First off, it’s nice to see Jaina and her mother just having an idle conversation in Boralus. I wasn’t really expecting the idle conversation I happened to stumble across. But far more importantly — hey Katherine, I like libraries too. Actually I’d love to just, you know, take a look around the Proudmoore estate in general. I bet it’s really neat in there! …seriously it’s a giant building smack in the middle of the capital city, it’d be cool if you’d open the doors, you know?

Let’s get to your questions.


The Queue: Your reputation precedes you

Nothing quite like jumping into a new patch and nabbing an achievement — especially when it comes with a very pretty horse as a reward for years and years of filling reputation bars. None of the NPCs seem to be terribly impressed with him, but considering just how many absolutely bonkers things people choose to ride around on, I’m not exactly surprised. I mean, once a humble fruit vendor’s seen someone trot by on a four-footed pile of screaming Draenei heads I expect it’s all downhill from there, probably.

Let’s get to your questions!


The Queue: Internet, meet a very good boy

I have a dog now. I’ve never actually been a “dog person,” but I’ve always had a soft spot for Badger — he’s one of my sister’s dogs, but he’s always wanted to be a solo house dog and he gets to be that here. He also gets to be relentlessly spoiled and I doubt he’ll object to that. He’s currently curled up right next to my chair, nose on my feet, where he will happily stay as long as I let him.

I have a feeling I’m going to be a dog person in very short order. Anyway, let’s get to your questions!
