The Queue: Lookout Itsabear
by Cory Taylor on October 5, 2026 at 1:00pm @CoryjTaylor
Oh, fine, you all convinced me. I’ll try out the fancy new Elves in Warcraft: Forever.
Of course, the first step is coming up with a good name, and after I couldn’t be Tobias Fünke, Ursus Ursus, or Trucka Saurus, I had to settle on Lookout Itsabear. I’ve only just gotten to the second hub in their starting area, but it’s already such a weird mix of familiar and new. It’s been so long since I leveled a character without immediately covering it in heirlooms and spending money that it’s been a fun throwback.
Will I start up another Skyborne Elf when the game comes out? I don’t know, but until then I’ll keep poking around the Azeroth of old.
While I sit and drink some of this sparkling water to get my mana back, again, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

It’s been a hectic week for me. So many games to play, so little time to play them! But, at last, the weekend has arrived.
This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we feel like a draenei runner delivering stolen black market crystals to an underground crime gang. It’s just the way things are sometimes.

It’s October: the trees are changing colors, the ghosts are coming out to play. Time to sit under the stars as the nights get cold and see who comes out to play. (Probably a bear.)
But let’s not dwell too much while we wait. This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I will do my best to answer your questions and then we’ll all hang out in the comments section.
