Our adventures on cursed snake island continues in WoW patch 12.1, as we keep running through dailies (of killing snakes), watching the Race to World First (of killing snakes), and working our way through the new Zul'jarra's Forces renown (by killing snakes).

I’m fascinated by the first revealed boss in the upcoming Megaman game, Twinkle Girl. First of all, because it’s a breath of fresh air that they’re no longer confined to just “[Something] Man” (EDIT: or “Woman”) anymore. But second, because she just looks so friendly!

Look at her!

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we absolutely can’t believe Twinkle Girl is gonna be just a disposable villain. Come on now! Playable Twinkle Girl adventures or riot!!!

We got a special treat this week as our Aussie columnist and player housing enthusiast Sara Hanson joined the pod.

The search has ended for the world's most famous spinally-deformed raccoon...

The Burning Crusade Classic anniversary realms Phase 3 is now live, so hopefully you're prepared to take on Illidan in the Black Temple and much more in this phase. Let's take a look at everything that's now live in Phase 3.

Every week the Epic Games Store gives away a game or two for free.

My new best friend is named Ethrandil, and he’s the only one in Azeroth who seems to be with me on this snake thing. Why are we here on cursed snake island? Why is anyone here? Why are we slaves to this torment and when can we go home?

We are now besties, bonded for life over our mutual terror, because the exposure therapy of spending so much time on cursed snake island is not helping. (And yes, you’re going to get to hear me talk about this for the next six months. Blame Blizzard.)

But while I bask in the joy of new-found friendship, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I try to answer your questions in between bouts of being terrified of certain fanged reptiles. Let’s get to the questions!

I don’t know why but I am amused by the established fact that Allosaurus specimens have a marked tendency to display paleopathologies that indicate that even among Theropods, they were willing to take risks. We find broken ribs, punctured tail vertebra, and a variety of wounds from Stegosaurus thagomizers. Including a thagomizer blow to the public bone of a particularly… let’s just say reckless… Allosaurus.

I like to imagine Allosaurus as a genus of Johnny Knoxvilles. Daring each other to attack a Brontosaurus or a Stegosaurus and getting their faces smashed so hard they spend the rest of their lives with crooked jaws, bone spurs, stubbed tails and yes, spike punctures to their pubic bones. The Tazmanian Devils of the Jurassic.

Ay-oh!

Anduin Wrynn's kingship — and distinct lack thereof — is the first topic this week on the Lore Watch Podcast.
