The Queue

I kind of wish there were more pet battle guides out there that didn’t automatically assume I’ve just got an Unborn Val’kyr sitting around to use for every battle, because I don’t. There’s a limit to how far out of my way I will go to do some pet battling, and camping the wilds of Northrend is over that line. I just want to beat the Celestial Tournament for once, you know? Just once would be neat.

You know, I’m guessing all those old raid bosses are already mad enough, seeing as how we can merrily tromp into their former fortresses and defeat them in a matter of seconds. But I’m pretty sure nothing is more downright humiliating as when a would-be hero takes a moment to stop, reflect, and snap a selfie before going on a stomping spree and nabbing all the loot.

I think I need to get selfies with all the raid bosses, now. Just for my own personal collection. Hm, who to tackle next? While I ponder that, let’s answer some questions.

Look, someone asked. It’s totally in bounds.

I’m pretty sure this is the best selfie I’ve ever taken on my draenei character, and it has nothing to do with my character and everything to do with the utterly disgusted glare from the woman behind her. I do find myself wishing that we had “pose” buttons on our camera bars that would let us do an emote with a push of a button while we were happily snapping our selfies. I almost think I’d like that better than the camera filters!

Mr. Grubbs, let’s be honest, here. You’re … well I hate to say it, but you’re a grub. Which is sort of like one step removed from a worm. Which means that the very last place you should probably be wandering is the Fishing Shack, because let’s face it, Mak’jin over there probably thinks you look like some pretty amazing bait. So if you could kindly restrict your afternoon jaunts to the other side of the garrison, that would be great.

I worry about my pets sometimes.

Getting into the questions fast for this edition of The Queue. Why? Because druids.

Look, if there’s something wrong with becoming a tornado of swording and slicey stabby killing everything around you, then I am proud to be wrong.

Let’s do the Queue folks.

Yes, today’s Queue is late. We’re going to blame Comcast. I will be your host today, even though I don’t think I’ve written a Queue since 2008, when it was called Ask a Beta Tester and we were trying to answer everyone’s Wrath of the Lich King questions.

Today, we don’t have any Wrath questions, but we will be talking about time travel and alternate universe Azeroth. So let’s get right to it, shall we?

One of the best memories of Burning Crusade was that one time I figured out how to fly upside down. I nearly made myself motion sick but it was totally worth it.

Blackrock Foundry LFR has been an interesting experience — far more so than Highmaul, which was kind of fun in terms of flavor, but not so much with the fights. I liked Kargath’s bout, I enjoyed Tectus and his sonorous pronouncements, but most of the fights were kind of forgettable. Not so with the Foundry. I love Hans’gar and Franzok, and yesterday I finally got to experience Operator Thogar, which I also really enjoyed. Trains are fun and there should be more of them. You know what else is fun? Answering questions. Let’s do that!
