The Queue: Which poster should I get next?

As my awesome wall of gaming posters and art is coming together, I am at an impasse. There is room on the wall for one more large WoW patch art poster, and I don't know which to get. There are two that I want, but I can't decide. You're going to help me out, The Queue. The Ahn'Qiraj patch art is already on my wall, but you know that if you've seen my YouTube stuff or the new WoW Insider Weekly News Update in sparkling video form. Here are my options for my next PrintWarcraft purchase:
- Fury of the Sunwell, patch 2.4
- Secrets of Ulduar, patch 3.1
Hensonite asked:
What am I transmogrifying - the look of an individual item or the look of a "slot"?
Example: If i transmogrify my helmet to look like goggles, will only that helmet change its appearance or will everything I wear on my head be displayed as those goggles?
You transmog the look of an individual item, not the slot that it goes in. Transmog works like an enchant that changes the appearance of the item, which is why it gets ripped off when you put a transmogged item into void storage.
Manowarrior asked:
Is it just me or does it seem like regular tues morning maintenance is a thing of the past? Can't remember the last time it happened other than for a patch. Did blizzard improve something?
The regular maintenance schedule still happens and Blizzard still accounts for it, but sometimes there is no need for it and rolling restarts are good enough. My guess is that Blizzard runs some diagnostics over the course of the week, and if numbers come up green, servers don't have to go down for an extended period of time. Also, if there are no huge fixes, bugs, game-breaking exploits, or assets to add, then there is just no need for downtime. The technology has improved considerably since six years ago.
Jestin asked:
If I'm looking to break into the WoW TCG, what would be a good box to buy? I'm looking through all of the xpacs available on the website and there are just so many. I'd like to find one that can ease me into the gameplay, has potential for some neat loot cards and has great art. Any thoughts?
If you would like to hop into the WoW TCG, your best bet is to start with one of the complete class starter decks. Each class starter deck comes with a 60-card, ready-to-go deck for playing the game. There's a rule book in the package as well. If you have a favorite card shop or hobby store that sells trading card games, it might even have a deck there that you could try one of the nights that people go and play the game. Plus, the class starter decks don't break the bank in the cost department.
The other option for breaking into the game is to go see the cool folks over at Cryptozoic in person at one of the Darkmoon Faire events. The next U.S. ones are starting up in 2012. Going to the events is an awesome way to break into the game because you get to sit down and play the game right away with people who want to teach you as well as potentially getting some discounts on products. Plus, the people at Cryptozoic are really nice.
Valorum asked:
I know absolutely zero about pokemon. How far behind will I be when this feature appears in WoW?
You will not be behind at all when the Pet Battle system comes in Mists of Pandaria. Everything is being built from the ground up for this new system, and everyone is coming in blind. If you've ever played a turn-based video game like an RPG, you'll have a working knowledge of the mechanics.
Ellesmere asked:
Do you think garrosh likes cake, pie, or cookies more?
Pizza.

Is that Kiljaden wearing brutal shaman pvp shoulders?
Andy Nov 16th 2011 11:26AM
I'd go for a combo of both. Possibly one of KJ and Algalon in a break dancing competition? With Garrosh and Varian in the background as judges.

I just wish I could get some of Samwise's other art like the ShodoPan.
The one with the samurai panda with the cub on his back, sitting in the field of dragonflies.
It's cool, reminds me of playing WoW with my daughter, she likes to create characters, mainly Belfs (she's 5, likes pretty things).
I have 3 mage blood elves right now, all level 2. We kill a bunch of mana worms then she runs off, till next time.

Since the Que a long way back answered my question about if Defias was freedom fighters or terrorists (in a very polite "depends on whose side you're on"-manner ;) ), here's a (tricky) question:
Can the Forsaken be considered a "rogue state" or not?
If so - what would Garrosh do?
Ellesmere Nov 16th 2011 11:34AM
He'd eat pizza and kick them all off a cliff.

No.....I didn't change my name from Amaxe.......

... Queue.
Why, with a nation that's been to the moon, can you not find a better word for "in line" :D ?
I thought you got rid of the english in the 18:th century.
(Please downvote this if you are a US citizen. It's just a ... friendly jab. From a swede ... a country that once dreamt of ravaging the english countryside, and allthough "we" were called a scourge, I believe "we" were very much alive. Unlike most of teh vrykul. Ehm ...
Too much rum. sorry.)
Ellesmere Nov 16th 2011 11:53AM
You say "too much rum," as though it's a bad thing! :O
MattKrotzer Nov 16th 2011 12:19PM
He'd make a plan
And he'd follow through,
That's what Garrosh Hellscream'd do.

What would Warchief Garrosh do if he appeared right now?
He'd start a fight and finish it too...
That's what Warchief Garrosh would do...
..now this is gonna be in my head the rest of the day...

Joakim:
Not enough thumbs up for you, my friend.
Sincerely,
an American Swede married to an American Norseman. OMG, how'd THAT happen? O_o
Fshepard Nov 16th 2011 12:08PM
I'd go Subwell, the Ulduar is good but is lacking in the way of green fire and crystal impaled elves
Charlie Nov 16th 2011 11:31AM
How long do you think before we see the patch 4.3 trailer? Is there a pattern as to when they are usually released? Like 1 or 2 weeks before?

Tough one, but alas! I say take the Fury one.
Bellajtok Nov 16th 2011 11:32AM
When I saw "Which poster should I get" I thought you meant that by poster you meant commenter. As in "Which commenter should I kill next". This is why I shouldn't read the Queue first thing in the morning.
Ellesmere Nov 16th 2011 11:45AM
He'd probably pick Matt. So they can argue over whether or not an extra T makes you cooler
ravyncat Nov 16th 2011 11:46AM
If that was the case, it would inject some scary excitement into the day. Sort of like playing out the Lottery.
I imagine Mat would be the most cheerful killer ever...lol. Which would certainly add to the scary factor... O.o;;
Shyster Nov 16th 2011 11:56AM
How do you know they aren't the same person? /InceptionHorn
I'm pretty sure it was the general consensus that Krotzer secretly writes everything anyways.
MattKrotzer Nov 16th 2011 12:29PM
"I imagine Mat would be the most cheerful killer ever...lol. Which would certainly add to the scary factor... O.o;;"
I just pictured McCurley as Baby in House of 1000 Corpses, slashing people while "Brick House" played in the background.
