Hey, remember that Luminous Starseeker mount and Twilight pet giveaway from last week? Winners have been picked! Congratulations to Necromann, Brian of Ironforge, Hawx, and Diavo Jinx on the new kitty buddies. Check the email you use for Disqus, or reply to me on the original giveaway post with an alternate means to contact you, if necessary.

Now let’s get to your questions, shall we?

I spent a decent amount of this past weekend playing Splatoon 2 and taking part in the Splatfest. I was technically on Team Ketchup (which lost), but I never really have ketchup or mayo, so I didn’t have a whole lot invested in who won.

More to the point, the Splatfest — and the game in general, really — had some great music. It was also super cool to see nighttime versions of every single stage for the duration of the event. All in all, it was a lot of fun.

But enough about that, it’s time for… The Queue(ueueueueueueue)!

Well no wonder the Burning Legion was able to take over the Tomb of Sargeras so easily. Looks like the ol’ elevator to the Avatar’s got a nasty case of chute worms. Those things start attackin’ the joists and you can forget about your foundation, yessir. Whole structure’ll tip right in on itself in another two, three years if you don’t do something about it.

Yep, looks like we’re gonna have to tent the place.

I don’t know who exactly piped up at Blizzard and said “Hey, you know what we need? A disco, right smack in the middle of the Auction House,” but they deserve a raise. Or cookies. Or something along those lines, because this was without a doubt the best mini-holiday in game so far. The place was packed all day long, the Karazhan-disco fusion music was amazing, and everyone was thrilled to be there. I don’t know about every weekend, but I wish this were a monthly event, like the Darkmoon Faire. It was nice to just ditch all Legion-defeating responsibility and go hang out and dance for a while.

Y’all know the drill.

Don’t feel bad about yawning, Lisbeth. I’m pretty sure if I were stuck behind a counter in Stormwind for as long as you’ve been, I’d feel exactly the same way. Let’s get to your questions, why don’t we?

I spent a lot of time playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on 200cc with my brothers over the past few days, and, man, is it crazy how fast you go. It’s a blast, but it’s also as frustrating as you’d expect from a Mario Kart game. Worst of all is the newest rendition of Rainbow Road, which has a million ways to fall off and a level which I CANNOT SEEM TO DRIVE WELL ON NO MATTER WHAT.

Grumble grumble. Let’s do some question-answering.

Side bar: Man, you guys asked a lot of questions yesterday. It’s not usually hard to find a solid amount of them without having to pick and choose, but that wasn’t the case yesterday. My apologies if yours didn’t get answered!

I really just wanted a screenshot of the crazy pretty skybox over Wyrmrest Temple in the leadup to the Ultraxion encounter, but said dragon managed to photobomb every shot. I guess it’s not enough that he’s there to unmake the world, he has to ruin all my photos while he’s at it. …good thing he’s a loot pinata at this point.

I have a mild obsession with InspiroBot, and it is entirely thanks to you folks. I’m pretty sure Liz would not appreciate the comments consisting wholly of inspirational quotes, but I’m also even more pretty sure they would make me laugh heartily. Do with that information as you will.

Now, onto the good stuff — oh, and I’ve fixed last week’s oversight this time around. Very sorry about that!

I really like it when raids and dungeons are interactive spaces, in terms of layout. It was really cool going into the Cathedral of Eternal Night and being able to look down and see the opening room from the Tomb of Sargeras raid below. It’s even cooler to go into that lower level during the Tomb of Sargeras raid and look up — you can see little hints of the Twilight Grove gardens high above. It just makes the space feel gigantic, without actually needing to be the kind of slog you hate running back through in the event of a raid wipe, you know?
