Phil Xavier

Phil Xavier — Phil Xavier, also known as Red, began his Blizzard adventure many years ago, with such titles as Rock N' Roll Racing and Blackthorne -- but it was the one-two punch of Warcraft II and Diablo that really took hold of his nerdy heart. He is also deeply interested in other games, especially for the Switch (but without ignoring the PC and PS4), and in discussions about game design (and game-making) in general. There is a place called rcnsk.com where he writes stuff unrelated to Blizzard Watch, but the truth is that there's nothing really in there yet.


Le Queue: The baguettes are okay

For the past few weeks I’ve been playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and after a rough beginning where I thought I wasn’t gonna adapt to the combat system, things finally clicked as soon as I started Act 2 of the game, and I’m loving it as much as a Frenchman loves debating existentialism over some coffee and a cigarette.

It’s such a French game, mon vieux.

That outfit on the header picture is literally called “Baguette,” and it’s the first one you find in the game. It’s almost like the devs were completely aware that the internet was gonna make memes with the fact that this is a French game set on a very France-inspired place, and decided to just rip the bandaid off and get on with more important things.

Either way, this is Le Queue and we’re on a mission to answer questions and eat baguettes — and we’re all out of baguettes. Because the characters in that game took them all and strapped them to their backs for some reason. Iunno, maybe they think they’ll get hungry later.


The Queue: PROBLEM?!

Have you ever had such a big problem that you answered your landline phone (in 2025) and thought that if you were in a comic book, the word PROBLEM?! would appear on the current panel? Cause my man Billy Kane over here sure has!

This is The Queue, and if you’ve got a big PROBLEM?! just shoot it at us, and we’ll do our best to solve it!


The Queue: From Mitsuru Monday to Fuuka Friday

A normal work week starts on Mitsuru Monday and ends on Fuuka Friday. It is known.

Today is Fuuka Friday, a truly blessed day. A day where smiles come easy, where work feels light, where everyone comes together to breathe a sigh of relief for a long, hard week is at last over.

A day where even lemons taste sweet.

So run along, friends, and let’s do this Friday Queue thing — which is a thing we do now!
