You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you.

Who's coming to save you?

My kidnappers have no idea what they're in for

Finally decided it was time to comb through Dalaran in search of Pepe in his adorable goggles for "The Tangerine Traveler"

Little dude was in the second place I looked!

Pepe, the adorable plump brown bird, wears his goggles on his forehead and sits on a large barrel. He gazes downwards at a Blood Elf Mage, quizzically.

Had some fun running world PvP tonight for the first time in ages. Bombing across the sky with 38 other players hits a bit different than slogging through Ulduar by myself again.

It's a Neon Mad Scientist kind of Monday
A blood elf mage stands in the entryway of a large dwarven building, framed by an orange and yellow stained glass window. He wears neon green pants with wandering hot pink accents, as well as a mostly red set of mechanical-looking armor.

Will Druff venture back into the forest, or hang up what remains of his heirloom spear? Will Nocash identify the source of the poison that plagues Redwood Watch? Will the party run into that baby Rust Monster again?

Find out tonight, as we are back for more Dragon Delves!

It's not easy being green
A Blood Elf Mage is dressed in green cloth armor with purple accents. On his back he has a stave with a horrible, toothy, tentacled mouth. Accompanying him is a small green infernal. In the background, the Dragon Isle capital of Valdrakken can be seen, with bridges and mountains featuring prominently.

The back features a small dragon hatching from an egg, with a spooky lake and crumbling tower in the background. The overall style and color scheme is psychedelic with hot pinks and pastel blues and greens.

Doing some fishing World Quests in Shadowlands and the icon for the Glorious Shimmerfin is...a brownish-grey recolor of a Mud Snapper. I guess I was expecting something a little more shimmery and/or glorious.

A loot table shows a Glorious Shimmerfin. The icon for the fish is a grey recolor of a very drab, simple fish called a mud snapper.

I'm streaming Final Fantasy 1 (1987), with an "Oops, All Black Mages" challenge.

We're on to the Earth Cave to vanquish the Vampire, and if we're efficient we might just face off against the Lich and re-light one of the ORBS.

Signs indicate that this restroom:
-Is designated as a men's room
-Is handicap accessible
-Has giant clams which contain three pearls each
Signs for a men's room including a "handicap accessible" sign and a pictogram of a person changing a baby on a fold-down table. The baby changing pictogram resembles a person reaching into a large clam to claim three large spheres.

Went fishing today and caught a turtle, which Gremlin the Younger kindly pointed out is not, in fact, a fish.
