Transmog

I've been thinking about character customization and why it's important, and why it's of varying importance depending on who you talk to.

The leaves are starting to fall here in Carolina, so it's time once again for Blizzard's occasional 6-month subscription promotion for World of Warcraft.

I honestly didn’t even realize Mitch had named yesterday’s Queue the way he did, I was just going with an in-joke for my wife. When I tell her I have to write the Queue for tomorrow she almost always goes and, forcing me to say and the R because it makes her smile and I simply cannot refuse to make her smile, ever.

Anyway, this is the Queue. I’m loving the new customization options so, so much. I am going to run around punching everything.

Here she is, in all her burned face, one dead eye, no more excrements given anger. She is going to punch a lot of ghosts.

This is the Queue. Let’s all get ready to punch ghosts together. A whole glorious expansion of ghost punching.

Oh, and I’m going in for my eye injections tomorrow, so I won’t be reading the replies for a while. I’m sorry about that.

For me, it was the rumored possibility of being able to transmog our shoulder armor independently that I realize no one promised me, but I really got my hopes up for it and now I'm sad it doesn't seem to be coming in Shadowlands.

Good news, everyone!

Now, I don't play casters much as a rule, and that means I've never had to stare at a wand and think I wish I could transmog this into a mace or a sword, but I am in general supportive of all sorts of transmogrification options.

One of my favorite pieces of game design in World of Warcraft is pet battles.

There are games that I play because they are familiar and require no real thought. Games I’ve played and played and played and played. Mass Effect 2 and 3. All the Dragon Age games, especially 2 and Inquisition. Diablo 3. Definitely Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. And while I love new games and can’t wait for a bunch of them to come out, right now, I’m very okay with my current dive into old friends as a means to cope with all the things happening in the world today.

This is the Queue.

I love transmog.
