One of these days, Chad and I will save the whole world. We’ll save all of Outland and we’ll make it really cool again. Or at least that’s what Chad tells me. I think Chad might be overestimating our importance just a little here. I was kind of bummed that last week’s livestream had so many difficulties that we had to call it, but hey, there’s always next week, right? For now, let’s answer some questions.

You know I really like the way the Shipyard looks, but I kind of wish you could actually go into the ships and mess around. As it is, you can climb on top of them, but there’s no way to get into the interior that I can see. Unless I’m missing a door that isn’t sealed off. I sort of wish they’d opened them up, added some crew below quests, maybe a few little quests that gave you a reason to be down there. As it stands, it’s kind of like that not-quite-hideous vase that your great aunt gives you, the one you have to stick in the living room because it was a gift and it’d be rude not to, but it doesn’t serve any kind of real purpose beyond being something to stare at.

Sometimes I forget about the visual value of looking up every now and again. And sometimes I forget just how massive the Dark Portal really is in Outland — and that there’s a giant stone dragon head just kind of looming over the edge and keeping a baleful eye on every person that comes trotting through the thing. This is your reminder to turn your camera straight up every once in awhile, whether indoors or out, because sometimes what’s up there is really, really cool. Or creepy. Take your pick!

Either trolls are just really, really bad at cartography, or Lower Blackrock Spire is even more convoluted and confusing to run than you’d expect at first glance. But I do love the dungeon — there’s something about multi-level dungeons where you can stand up high and see mobs way down below that is visually appealing to me, and gives the place a sense of being way more massive than it really is.

Poor sleeping orc peon. He’s had a long day of standing in one spot and making sure only the right people walk through the gate. It’s a hard job, but someone has to do it. You know what isn’t a hard job? Answering questions — so why don’t we just get to the business of doing that?

Can we just take a minute to appreciate this lush tropical jungle, the myriad different types of grasses, the way the sunlight filters through the trees, and all those little shadows spattered all over the scenery? I don’t know who did the environment work this expansion, but every single last one of those people deserves a round of applause and some cookies.

Fox VanAllen took his rightful place as the king of the dwarves last Thursday, or he would have if we were raiding Ironforge, and not the Vegas vacation of dwarf citadels. But he insisted on having his screenshot taken on the throne, so I am presenting it here as proof that yes, I did do as requested and take one.

Man I have absolutely no idea if this pet I picked up on the leveling stream a couple of weeks ago is any good or not. I don’t know if it does amazing DPS, or has some kind of weird ability that makes it a choice pick for any hunter. All I know is I cannot look at the thing without cracking up, which I think is probably as good a reason as any to keep him forever. Good little Brunch. We’re going to have so many adventures together! Let’s get to some questions.

Okay first off, Mr. Overly Zealous Box-Perching Dude, I think you might just be a little too into Gul’dan, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t think anywhere near as highly of you as you do of him. Second, have you looked at your hands lately, because you could really use a manicure. I’d offer you one, but my garrison sadly doesn’t include a Barber Shop or Salon, and no matter how many times I order them to do it the Frostwolves are just not interested in making that happen.

Who’s the sweetest giant whomping spiked vaguely-bacon-colored lizard thing on Azeroth? That’s a rhetorical question, I tamed him yesterday and I’m keeping him forever, thank you. Let’s answer some Queue questions!
