You know how we say we'll post these news roundups every day?

We're counting down the days...

Okay, we admit it.

Stardate 13001.4.

The days around holidays are usually slow news days, but Blizzard surprised us yesterday with details on the next Heroes of the Storm hero and a rundown of 2018 plans for Overwatch.

Today we had a special request from Buffalo, who asked for a buffalo-themed Queue for his birthday. Apparently this is a tradition that I have previously missed, but it seems we have dutifully carried it out in the past, so I will do my best with this fine image of bison, above.

You all aren’t just joking with us about this, right? Is it really someone’s birthday? I hope it’s really someone’s birthday, otherwise I’m going to feel pretty silly about this.

It's official, people: we're living in the future.

Hey! It’s me. No, there’s no special reason I’m here. I just thought I’d check in on you all after the long, Queue-less holiday weekend.

Is everyone okay out there? Survived into the new year? That is awesome news, my friends. Now let’s get on to the day’s questions in the first Queue of the year.

Another day, another Jeff Kaplan header image.

It's a slow news day, so today you get a pug in a Santa hat for a header image.
