The Queue: Time Management

There just aren’t enough hours in the day. Plus, sometimes you have to go to work so you can afford to live and buy food and stuff.

If only I had time powers like the Bronze Dragonflight. I’d probably waste them, but it would be fun!

While I try to travel through time, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!


The Queue: Decks Dark

The Inky Black Potion is magnificent. You can make space look like actual space. You can imagine that your character is staring into the vast darkness and pondering their insignificance before it all. (My headcanon is that every Draenei does that every once in a while.)

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where there’s a spacecraft blocking out the sky, and there’s nowhere to hide. You run to the back and you cover your ears, but it’s the loudest sound you’ve ever heard, and all we trapped, rag-doll, cloth people, we are helpless to resist into our darkest hour.


The Queue: Get your rose-colored glasses here

Do you remember your first trip to Ironforge? If you were a Gnome or a Dwarf, you were probably sent there around level 5 on one errand quest or another, your whole game life to date spent trekking through the snow of Dun Morogh. You can’t even see Ironforge from down there; the city is nestled in the mountains, up a steep hill, and you trek up, through the snow on foot, and the entrance slowly comes into view. And there it is, massive, so much bigger than you.

There’s a sense of grand scale that, somehow doesn’t come across in the modern game, where we would take a flight path or ride a mount or use a hearthstone to get to Ironforge without much thought. We wouldn’t trudge up to it on foot; how tedious! But there’s something to be said for the sense of scale and wonder as you walk up for the first time, or for the first time in a long time, and think about how small you are, and how large this Dwarven city is.

But I digress. This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where you ask questions and I do my best to answer them. Here we go.


The Queue: Borophagus

I last used that header image in 2015. I think it was due a comeback.

That is a ridiculously cute stab at Borophagus diversidens by paleoartist Charles R. Knight. However, based on the animal’s actual skull, it likely had a much shorter muzzle and bigger lower jaw for more bone crushing power. Still, I love the detail in Knight’s sketch and he was in line with what other artists were doing when he sketched it.
