The Queue: Definitely not a kitten, at all

I think we can all agree that the above picture is not a kitten, thus ending the cute-baby-animals theme used in header images in The Queue once and for all.
The Dark Wayne asked:
There's one question that's been on my mind ever since 3.3 came out: Will we be able to obtain Shadowmourne or at least Shadow's Edge in Cataclysm? If we can, will we also still be able to get the fancy box of lore trinkets that drop when you kill the LK with it?
Given that it's part of the We Are Legendary guild achievement, all signs point to yes.
Fadewon asked:
Any news on any new Darkmoon Decks in the expansion?
Yes. Courtesy of Seiru from Something Awful:

Reis asked:
Question: Has Blizzard ever commented on the possibility of banning certain names in game, making it impossible for someone to use them in game, such as anything using Blizzard, Activision, WoW, etc. ...? Given the surplus of scam whispers I'm getting on a small server, I imagine it's a bigger problem places like say Malganis, so why haven't they done it already?
Short answer is that there are an awful lot of ways to misspell a name. I went into it in detail back when I worked at Blizzard, responding to our own Daniel Whitcomb. When not responding to RP concerns, I also gave love advice.
Grovin of Dark Hour asked:
Dear The Queue,
Have you decided yet what constitutes an appropriate punishment for everyone who starts a post with, "I asked this last time but it didn't get answered, so I'm just going to keep asking it until it does"? How best can we correct and prevent this ignoble behavior efficiently and with a minimum of hurt feelings and/or bloodletting?
Thanks,
Grovin
All kidding aside, there are several reasons why I sometimes don't answer questions asked in The Queue comments. Here are some. (I don't speak for Alex or Adam here; just me.)
- I like to answer questions I find personally interesting or compelling. I do not like answering boring questions with boring answers.
- I just don't know the answer yet, and I feel like using The Queue real estate to say "we don't know the answer to this yet" is kind of lame.
- The Queue gets a lot of comments, and sometimes I have to pick and choose which ones make it into a given article.
- We get a lot of repeat questions because some people, understandably, do not read The Queue every day.
- Sometimes I just miss questions!
- Step 3: Make her open the box.

Yes, it was qui-- *distracted by Groucho Marx*

I never forget a meme, but in this case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Kitten looks more like Colonel Sanders to me.
Dreyja Oct 3rd 2010 12:31AM
You guys are missing it entirely. This is obviously the evil version of the kitten from a parallel universe. Facial hair is always the tell. :)

Don't kittens typically have hairy faces?

What's the word on being able to get our T2 sets after Cataclysm hits?
Zyla Oct 2nd 2010 4:56PM
T2 is not going away. The original Blackwing Lair is still in Cataclysm. The last I checked, there are tons of bugs with the first encounter, but a team of 5-10 level 80 toons should have no problems finishing the dungeon. You don't even need the cloak anymore.

Pah! That's a hipster kitten. He's being cute in a way that's too obscure for you to understand.
Rubitard Oct 2nd 2010 3:41PM
Hipster kitten is already testing the Deathwing fight. Still trying to get dev team to have an ironic guest appearance by Iggy Pop during final battle.

"Step 3: Make her open the box."
I assume this is to fuel some interesting questions/anwers for tomorrow's The Queue?
Groth Oct 2nd 2010 2:21PM
I'm really hoping that the box does not contain your junk.
Tomatketchup Oct 2nd 2010 2:27PM
Dear The Queue. I did as you said with the box and I was not happy with what was contained in it.
Sincerly, Tomatketchup's now ex-wife.

Ah, a nice SNL reference. Kudos to you Sir.
Adam Oct 2nd 2010 4:14PM
Well, looks like that answer had you...

Boxed in.
Takshash Oct 2nd 2010 4:28PM
Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah!
Kurash Oct 2nd 2010 4:52PM
As long as it's not Pandora's box. Dunno what she got into, but I don't like it.
lolikitty Oct 3rd 2010 12:05AM
That's what's in the box. Yup.
