The Queue: Clearance

I'm going to use the intro of The Queue to clear something up from Saturday's WRUP. I said that "Oblivion is Fallout in Fantasyland." I do know that Oblivion was released first, despite what some of you thought! I was saying that I played Fallout first but enjoyed Oblivion much more, despite their being basically the same game in two different settings. You dig?
Stormblade asked:
Does WoW Insider take applications? Can you email in example articles or ideas?
When we're looking to fill a specific position, we'll do a call-out on our front page and welcome interested individuals to apply. In general, we don't take applications outside of those periods, but it's not unheard of for us to hire people who mail us specific proposals or ideas. It doesn't happen very often, but it has happened.
As someone pointed out in the comments, the page you want to get the details of our hiring process is our Contributing to WoW Insider page. If you plan on applying for any of our future openings, pay attention to "How to apply" section. Not including the requested information can (and most likely will) get your application completely thrown out.
Mojo asked:
What was that chat company that had a giveaway this year? I want to use it for my raiding guild.
You are most likely thinking of MMO-Mumble. Good choice! Mumble is good stuff, and MMO-Mumble is good people.
Bernie Roscoe asked:
Why did they make Ahn'Qiraj its own zone? Is anything going on there?
All of the outdoor dungeons/raids in the world are now reflected as such in the overworld. Lost City of the Tol'vir works this way as well, even though you still have to go through the instance portal to actually fight the bosses. That's the only reason Ahn'Qiraj is its own zone. There's nothing you can actually do in there if you fly over the Scarab Wall. Consistency and nothing more.

My day was going so well until now.
I hate you for making me remember my logon password.
Arturis Jan 10th 2011 12:10PM
Wait, people are still doing "First" posts? I thought we had collectively matured past this already.
And 2011 was going so well thus far...
Orrine Jan 10th 2011 12:12PM

Well, in the words of Kiefer Sutherland in "the Lost Boys":
"Never grow old, Michael. Never die."
First! is a meme as stubborn as a cold. We just have to get used to it.

Collectively matured? Hah. No time passes on the Internet. It's always September.
(Hope this doesn't double-post. Connection problems. If it does, sorry.)

"Well, in the words of Kiefer Sutherland in 'the Lost Boys':
'Never grow old, Michael. Never die.'"
Oh yeah? Well, in the words of Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest:
"Never give up. Never surrender!"
Keep fighting the good fight anti-firsters. ;)
Josin Jan 10th 2011 2:00PM
Also in the words of Tim Allen, though I'm pretty sure it wasn't in reference to the "First!" meme, but seems pretty apt: To infinity, and BEYOND!

In the words of Pat O'Brian, "We'll get some hookers and some coke, and go crazy!"
Wait, what are we talking about again?

I'm surprised Holisky hasn't descended from the shadows with his mighty ban-hammer.

The Anti-FIRST flame-war is infinitely more destructive than the single FIRST post.
Way to jump on that bandwagon and push an entire page of comments into the fray.

"Well, in the words of Kiefer Sutherland in 'the Lost Boys':

"Oh yeah? Well, in the words of Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest:
"Never give up. Never surrender!""
And in the words of Peppy Hare:
"Never give up! Trust your instincts!"
and
"Do a barrel roll!"

Side Note: How do I change my commenting name? Stupid auto-fill put my ACTUAL effing name in...
Amak Jan 10th 2011 8:33PM
"effing name"
Not so. 'Tis a fine name that any gnome would be proud of.
Susano Jan 10th 2011 9:10PM
hate to ninja comment but any idea when the wow documentary The Raid is coming out? I've been itching to watch it!

@Zachary Woodcock:
Is your... ya know... really made out of wood?
Kira Jan 11th 2011 6:56AM
@Mr Woodcock (I'm sorry it just sounded hilarious in my head)
High school must have sucked for you
Zachary Woodcock Jan 11th 2011 1:18PM
High School for me, and MC Boot Camp for my father. SUUCCCKKKEEDDD
