The Queue: This is the best Queue in the world
Whereas on Tuesday I wrote the worst Queue in the world, today, my dear readers, I present the best. Why? Because of the two -- count 'em, two -- awesome machinimas featured.
The first one, above, is Baron Soosdon's This Device Has Been Modified. It was really the first machinima in WoW that I went, "Holy crap, that's great."
After the break, we we have the second featured machinima, making this Queue so full of awesome you'll be BLINDED.
Neothanos asked:
I've been seeing a lot of posts on the Blizz forums of guild imploding over the Cataclysm changes. Did Cataclysm cater too much to the very vocal very active hardcore crowd?
As was mentioned in the comments, the observations about Cataclysm are entirely subjective. One thing that we can say with relative certainty is that each expansion always causes feelings like it's the end of the world for guilds -- and then it turns out it's really not. BC was supposed to destroy WoW because 40-mans were gone, and Wrath was supposed to destroy WoW because no one would want to run 25-mans because there were 10-mans of everything. And now Cataclysm is causing problems.
But at the end of the day? Everything is normal. Guilds go through the most drama when there's change, but that's not a function of WoW. That's a function of humanity.
Marzim asked:
If a person leaves a guild will they start at 0 rep when joining another guild?
Yes, they'll start over at zero. Once you leave a guild and join another, your reputation is cleared. According to some people in the comments that have tried this, Blizzard doesn't automatically clear your reputation forever when just first leave the guild and haven't joined another, so you can rejoin right away if need be and not be penalized.
Cutaia asked:
Recently, I was waiting at the bus stop when suddenly I saw my friends. The problem is, there were people in the front seat and people in the back seat. Are there any theorycrafting resources which can help me determine which seat I should take?
You know that Family Guy episode where Peter sings about the bird being the word, and at one point Brian asks him what he's talking about, and Stewie goes "Brian, don't!"?
That's what everyone just yelled to you.
But back to your question: I believe Rebecca Black has some answers for you. At the end of the day, you'll want to sit in the back seat so you can sit up on it and let your hair wave in the wind. Just be sure to buckle up.
I hope this answer has both been informative and mind-numbing.
Frank asked:
Has Blizz ever talked about updating Wintergrasp so that it's relevant (or at least balanced) again?It was my favorite BG.
It hasn't, and unless it does something in some expansion in the future so that Northrend is central to the story again, I highly doubt Blizzard will put the time into it. It would be nice to see again, don't get me wrong -- but just don't expect it.
And finally, here it is folks: This Queue is now the best Queue in the world.

MattKrotzer Mar 17th 2011 11:30AM
Adam Holisky has the power... to move you.
AudreyR Mar 17th 2011 12:30PM
@Hal So this is actually the Queue your Queue could smell like?
dabias Mar 17th 2011 12:39PM
The queue is a lie.
DeathPaladin Mar 17th 2011 1:12PM
And the peculiar thing is this, my friends: The questions we answered in that fateful queue, they didn't actually sound anything like these questions!

A monument has been made for the 197 people who died from your que
You actions will be placed in the dictionary under the new word Holitravisty

So Adam.... Did you need to do "special push ups" to get this queue running today?
BigDumbFace Mar 18th 2011 2:08AM
@MrJack
One is all you need.
Kallix Mar 17th 2011 11:04AM
The pure awesome of BLIND almost makes up the horror that was Rebecca Black the other day.
Almost.
zweitblom Mar 17th 2011 11:23AM
In all fairness, the song used in 'Blind' is just about as inane as Black's offering. However, the awesome craftmansship of the video puts it miles above her.
Angus Mar 17th 2011 12:33PM
JPop is never inane. Annoying in that once the tune permeates your being it never truly goes away, maybe. Impossible not to at least head bob to somewhat, yes. But inane?
Here, let me demonstrate.

Feel free to hate me now that you have to break out the PS2 and play that game again.
TheBlob Mar 17th 2011 12:46PM
@Angus:
Noooooo. What you have you done?
*searches for game case*

@zweitblom
I wish you weren't being faded to black, both of those videos' songs were just as bad as yesterdays music. To me the second one didn't even fit with the action happening in the video (ok they synced the horns with the animation goody goody) but hey to each his own I guess.
jimbob Mar 17th 2011 4:13PM
@zweitblom
Wut? You mad bro? There have been many arguments about the music V the video, but imho, the music matches the video almost perfectly. Timing, action, slo-mo's etc. This is about as good as machinima gets, EVER! Your thoughts on the music pale into comparison on the machinima taken as a whole complete work.
Just my 2 cents.
StClair Mar 18th 2011 4:41AM
Every time I see that video, I have two thoughts:
* Damn, I wish my rogue could actually be that awesome in-game.
* I love the way Ony-- er, Lady Prestor effortlessly pwns her would-be assassin. Silly belf, trying to solo a raid boss.

This is factually inaccurate - you don't lose all of your rep with your guild until you join another guild.
