There’s a lot going on in the gaming world. ReMists just ended, a new Hearthstone Battlegrounds season just began, there’s a new Diablo 4 season underway, and we also have Gamescom to keep up with. Whew! But despite all of that, I can feel the excitement in the community regarding the proximity to The War Within. And the questions today completely reflect that.

It’s a good time to be a gamer, so let’s not waste much more time; it’s time to Queue.

Now that the event is over, we can finally look back at the experience we had with World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria over the past three months.

Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8, Trinkets & Travels, is almost upon us, bringing a brand-new mechanic called Trinkets.

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn’t accidentally tell you that
I’m only happy when it rains

The newly-announced Season 8 for Hearthstone Battlegrounds, Trinkets & Travels, will introduce a new mechanic to the mix: Trinkets are new passive power-ups that you buy with gold, and are yours for the rest of the game — much like Quest Rewards.

No, seriously: over the past few months we've seen a lot of people wondering who the heck this elf lady is — people don't seem to recognize her as Alleria Windrunner.

Perils in Paradise has been an odd expansion balance-wise, with incredibly aggressive decks winning games by turns four or five, combo decks dealing lethal damage from hand probably too soon, and control decks resurrecting a plethora of nearly unkillable copies of Zilliax.

Did anything major happen last night?

No?

I mean, I feel like something big was supposed to happen, but it kept getting postponed. Did I dream it?

Either way, let’s take a break from all those silly Warband things: it’s time to Queue, The Queue! How many questions can I cram into this warband-themed Queue? Twelve?!

The Spiritborn is the new class being added to Diablo 4 in its first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, and it comes equipped with four Key Passives that are "designed to be more open-ended." But what does that mean?

You thought it was Anna… but it was me, Red!!!

I don’t own a bear named Rutherford Bear Hayes and I don’t have dozens of great literature recommendations, but I’ll still try my best to honor the age-old tradition of the Tuesday Queue as Anna enjoys her vacation.

I’m gonna play it safe: gotta go with Standard Tuesday Queue rules. Best of five, single elimination, no jackpot, winner takes it all.

So buckle up, birdos, and let’s Queue.
