This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we may answer… eventually. Anyone for a mixed drink with a little umbrella?

Ever since Blue Prince -- which was included in this week's games post -- came out yesterday I've been feeling a little feverish.

Patch 11.1.5 for World of Warcraft was just announced as coming out April 22, so that leads the podcast this week -- even if it may seem fast to some of our hosts.

This week's free Epic Games Store game is River City Girls, a fun little nostalgia-filled brawler.

The Netflix animated show Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a great entry in the Cyberpunk universe, and one we felt worth exploring in-depth.

I’ve been having a bit of a love/hate relationship with cozy games of late, because to me there can be a fine line between smoothing over the rougher edges of reality and utterly obliterating them to the extent that it seems like a cruel mockery of lived experience. I’ve enjoyed Wanderstop so far, and part of that is that there’s clearly some kind of magic surrounding the tea shop, where you don’t have to worry about your expertise as a tea seller or the solvency of the shop. The other is that this is a temporary escape, a short respite to breathe deep, enjoy your surroundings and the tea, and then move on. Of course, the escapism is that you get to move on when you’re ready and only then, but who’s counting.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and just sit for a minute. Listen to the birds. It’ll be okay.

Ironwood Studios pushed a huge update to Pacific Drive earlier this week, so I'm happy to report that Mel's back, baby.

After a short apology for his scratchy voice, Matt leads the cohosts in discussion on a number of topics.

Last week we got the cat-themed ARPG Cat Quest for free from the Epic store, so hopefully you liked that because there's more where that came from, literally.

Along with several other features, today's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct gave us a release date for the highly anticipated console: June 5, 2025, with preorders beginning April 8.
