Sometimes my followers really make me question why I recruited them in the first place. Rok’tar, don’t you have better things to be doing, like heading out for that mission I just assigned? Sheesh. Let’s answer some questions.

Rossi’s gnome monk looks about as pleased to be tanking for us as Rossi is about playing a monk in general. Have you checked out our WoW leveling stream on Thursdays yet? You can catch the back episodes on our YouTube channel. On to the questions!

Listening to Blur’s Song 2 and just letting the beat roll over me. I know it’s supposed to be satirical, but that’s the problem with doing a satire too well — they actually crafted one of the best grunge songs I’ve ever heard in the process. It’s up there with Sebadoh’s Flame and Pearl Jam’s Go, in my opinion.

Let us discuss your questions, good people.

The picture of Maiev is unrelated.

It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for this, and yet, like it’s happening incredibly soon. The expansion came out in November of last year, and we’re looking to potentially be on its finally patch by June/July of the following? It’s so outside of my usual experience with World of Warcraft and its patches that I don’t even know what to do. I’m torn is what I’m saying.

Let’s talk about your questions, that will take my mind off of patch 6.2.

Wow, you guys love to debate the back and forth of Tyrande and Malfurion’s marriage. That’s a box of wet cats I have no interest in sticking my arm into.

A true Warchief would never partner with bunnies. Speaking of which, don’t forget that Noblegarden ends tomorrow — if you haven’t picked up the new Mystical Spring Bouquet, you might want to get that done!

I have a new pet. It is the best pet ever, there is no convincing me otherwise, and if you really thought I’d name it anything else well, I don’t know what to say to you. But I do know how to answer questions, so let’s do that instead!

Guys, I know I’m kind of a dinosaur nut. But you can stop tweeting to me about Brontosaurus. For starters, the debate has just been started, not settled. It may well be years before we have a definitive consensus from the paleontologists of the world on whether Brontosaurus is a legitimate species. The study is very interesting, but it just opens the door on the discussion, and more work will be needed. Besides, let’s be honest – you’re all gonna keep calling it Brontosaurus no matter what.

It’s late so I’m sitting here listening to Ministry and writing The Queue.

Welcome to the Queue, the daily Q&A column for all things Blizzard.

Earlier this week I was goofing around in Dragon Age: Inquisition and found a really neat set of ruins where everything was just … frozen in time. It was weird and kind of creepy. But it was also really visually striking, and I found myself thinking back to the Caverns of Time and how I’d like to see more stuff with it. It also made me wonder if bronze dragons have the capacity to simply halt time altogether — after all, we got a really cool sequence of time reversal in the Murozond encounter during Cataclysm. I’m sort of hoping we haven’t seen the last of the Infinite or the bronze dragonflight, because both concepts are just too interesting to pass up.

Also, I did in fact fix the whole frozen temple thing and everything promptly collapsed. I’m still a little sad about that one.

One of today’s questions reminded me that we really don’t have enough Rexxar right now. That’s a situation that should be fixed, because Rexxar is basically the best, even if he doesn’t have Misha on this version of Draenor. I’ll forgive that. But I still think we could use more of everyone’s favorite Mok’Nathal.

I spent last night thinking about humans. We’re terrifying if you really stop and think about us. We can eat things that are toxic to most other species. We can survive broken bones, gunshot wounds, all manner of injuries that would incapacitate or even kill most other species on Earth. Humans used to hunt by simply walking after our prey until it fell down dead from exhaustion. Then we figured out how to make things get dead even more efficiently. Spears, spear-throwers, slings, bows… we’re a terrifying bunch.
