The Queue: Flippin ain’t easy

Of course House Flipper 2 was a day one purchase for me. I’m not made of wood. I’m loving some of the updated features, particularly the one where you can basically copy and paste the styling of a particular piece of furniture or a finish, so I don’t have to re-select all the same options repeatedly. Weirdly, the only thing I’m having any kind of issues with is finding a house I can use easily for CAD purposes around my own house. I could construct something from scratch, but it’s a ton of work, and that’s time I could be using to build my real estate empire!

The Queue: this is fine

I’m not sure there’s ever a great time to come down with a chest cold and fever, but the week after you’ve had surgery, so coughing is excruciating and even kind of dangerous, is a particularly bad one. Bonus points if it’s the week before holiday break, and you still need to make sure Santa has everything stowed on his sleigh!

The Queue: Peppermint Mocha

There comes a time every holiday season when I’m tired and really need to force myself into being jolly and bright. This is that time.

The Queue: My house, in the middle of nowhere

In getting ready for the holidays, I have decided that becoming a mountaintop hermit is my best options. Tell your friends. Wait, actually — don’t.

The Queue: Potpourri

One of my favorite things about The Queue is how completely random y’all can get sometimes.

This is The Queue, the daily column where you have a lot of off-the-wall questions and we’re just trying to keep up, man.


The Queue: I’m helping

I’ve been playing a lot of the Mystery Heroes mode of Overwatch 2 lately to unwind, and man has it made for a whole lot of wackiness. There is no other explanation.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we are somehow supposed to come up with a clutch answer, we guess.


The Queue: My favorite part of BlizzCon 2023

There is a point every BlizzCon where my brain has devolved into a useless mass of half-wrinkled goo. At that point, everything seems funny, everything is enraging, everything seems like simultaneously a good and bad idea. Brings me back to college, really.

It was at this time when I encountered this photo of a single tiny cactus in the Hearthstone area from our Away Team member Joe Collins. I don’t know why this cactus is such a vibe — so lonely, so precious, so special, so charming — but it is the best thing to come out of BlizzCon 2023, and I will protect it with my life. It is so stupid. I love it so much.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’re… not promising anything at this point.
