We've all done it before, right?

Okay, sure, it was a pretty good Queue yesterday, and here I am,  staring at my keyboard wondering what I have to say. Just like LFR, I can smash my hands against the keyboard and expect everything to work, right?  Let’s go with that.

Last week saw a new patch with a new hero, a new event, a new battleground rotation, and plenty of other changes to Heroes of the Storm, which means this week is a relatively quiet one (probably).

Yes, the title means exactly what you think it means.

Alas, but my two-day reign of the Queue is over, so we must watch Liztopia crumble and fall until it returns in a couple of weeks. (I’ll be out next week, but Anne will fill in.) But in the meantime, here’s another Queue.

Kids these days and their games and their topias and their . valleys and whatever else! I don’t understand any of this. What’s going on? Why are you on my lawn?

(In which Liz has yet played Stardew Valley and doesn’t have time to give in to the temptation, so let’s all just stop talking about it, okay?)

Sure, we have another free hero rotation arriving in the Nexus this week — just like every other week — but the real fun is on the PTR.

Okay, I hope this doesn't lead to a game of portal roulette, but I've known a few Mages in my time and know they can have a sense of humor.

The queue… the queue… the queue… the queue…

Okay, I’m sorry, but sometimes I just can’t come up with anything original to put here. Sure, I could harangue Mitch, but don’t I do that every week (sometimes every day)? I could grumble about getting asked lore questions I never know how to answer (but I’m doing that in the conclusion today, so just hang tight).

Or I could ramble aimlessly until this mess feels kind of like an introduction. Am I there yet? Let’s see about getting on to the Queue.

You have your tickets (virtual or otherwise) in hand, your bags packed (maybe), and you're well ready for this year's BlizzCon.
