The Queue: In which Lady Gaga Girl took over
Today's Queue was supposed to be subtitled Eureeka's Castle, off the late 80's early 90's children's show. But then I saw this gem and just had to share it with all of you. Because you know, we're Lady Gaga Insider.
Enjoy the video.
I know you will.
Mcfdash asked:
"I've always wondered what that big portal in Stormwind is. It's behind a big gate, that stops you from entering it, in the Canals. After some research into it I wasn't able to find out much more than it might be a forgotten instance."
You're seeing the Stormwind Vault. It's a Stockades-like instance, but it's never been implemented. Yet strangely, there's a dungeon entrance picture for it that's entirely different than the graphic for the Stockades. It's not accessible right now. Blizzard hasn't said anything recently about what their plans are to do with it. For now it's just an interesting relic.
This got me thinking about Stormwind Vault. I'll write an article up with more information soon.
Jason commented:
"if you want a head start on level 81 then fill up your quest log with finished dailies the day before release and turn them all in when you log on. As another comment mentioned you do not build rested at Max level but you do keep any that you had left over."
Right, this should work. Blizzard could dump the quest logs of all characters when Cataclysm launches, but we'll know this ahead of time. We'll be able to test this quest saving method on the Cataclysm beta realm, so look for a confirmation of "Yes, this 100% works" in the near future. And if it does work, the place to load up on dailies will be the Argent Tournament, since all the turn in spots are so beautifully close to each other.
Dayninnator asked:
"With the new Battle.Net ID system coming in patch 3.3.5, I was wondering if cross-realm groups would become possible? For example, I'm on Kil'Jaeden and have friends on Thunderlord. If I saw the Thunderlord people online, could I invite them to a 5-man group before queueing in the Dungeon Finder?"
Not yet. The dungeon finder will continue to work as is, but selecting player X from realm Y to group with specifically will not be an option in patch 3.3.5. Obviously the underlying technology is there, and it's just a question of whether or not Blizzard wants to implement this in the game. Will they? I'm gonna go out an a limb here and say eventually. That might mean in a year or two, or five years down the line.
Either way there are no plans that I've heard of to implement this selected cross-realm grouping.
Darkspade asked:
"If a question isn't answered in The Queue, should I assume the author just doesn't know or should I try asking it once or twice more in case it wasn't noticed? Are all the comments read or does the author only read until he/she has enough questions for the days article? Asking because sometime I have a question for The Queue, but when I see the comments already up to 6+ pages I wonder if it's better to just try and ask next time."
Please ask again. We try to answer 3 to 5 questions a day, and there are dozens of questions left. If it seems like we're constantly skipping it, tweet us or email us. Ask nicely and you'll be even more likely to get a response (not that your question wasn't nice, it was).
This "asking nicely" thing also applies to the WoW forums and Blizzard's blues. A little bit of niceness can go a long way in this internet world we all live in.

What a silly video!
SamLowry Jun 2nd 2010 4:15PM
OMG.
That's all I can say about that.

once again WoW insider rips of NSFW Show / DIGG

I'm pretty sure the entire founding principle of the WWW was to be able to link to other pages. If I posted a link on my GeoCities page that I found on Cool Site of the Day, that was me sharing it with another audience that may not have seen it there, not "ripping of" (sic). And, by gosh by golly, what if I even saw the page before CSotD posted it, but they got it up first? Aw shucks, no linking for me?
This is actually how the web-based internet works. You may want to check it out.

I can't tell which is bleeding worse, my eyes or my ears. :(

Spent all yesterday watching this. I feel weird that Adam Holisky and I have similar sources of bad videos. =/ =\
Sleutel Jun 7th 2010 12:02AM
Saw it linked on a friend's Facebook a few days back, and I only got a little ways in before I had to turn it off. Just too sad.
Patrick Jun 2nd 2010 4:13PM
Someone has been lurking on /b/ this morning.
Drag Jun 2nd 2010 4:14PM
Actually, this was on digg last night
AlmightyKramer Jun 2nd 2010 4:38PM
It was posted on digg after it was featured on the NSFW show.
Adam Holisky Jun 2nd 2010 4:49PM
Got it from Digg. I only visit /b/ after 11pm when I'm good and wasted. ;-)
KIDDING.
It's 11am.
Moomoo Jun 2nd 2010 6:04PM
It's fair game to start drinking post-11am!
Those are the official rules from the British commonwealth, I'll have you know!

I've started an other DK and was wondering on this while doing the pre-quests: What is Noth's problem with Heigan?
Cataca Jun 2nd 2010 4:14PM
Noth can't dance
foust117 Jun 2nd 2010 4:20PM
"If your friends don't dance then they ain't no friends of mine."
Gyussz Jun 2nd 2010 4:23PM
thanks :) I see now :D
God, I love the heigan dance tbh... recalls funny memories ^^
Grovinofdarkhour Jun 2nd 2010 4:40PM
Besides being a talentless hack, Noth struggles with... well, let's just call them "identity problems" and leave it at that. Not like our pal Heigan over there; he's totally comfortable in his own skin.
And regardless of what Noth or anybody else says, yes, you CAN dance if you want to.
Aaron Jun 3rd 2010 8:49AM
I may or may not have been lying dead on the floor during a dance or two *shifty eyes* and during that moment of rest I was able to get a really close look at Heigan. If I could transform my character into anyone else even for a little bit it would probably be him, but I would totally ditch the helm. lol
