I find that there's a certain sweet spot that some games — visual novels or not — are able to hit for me, where there's just the right amount of reading.

It’s March 5th, but let’s stay positive, guys!

Welcome to The Queue, where we don’t let ourselves get overwhelmed by life, the universe, and everything. We tackle our daily affairs head on, like responsible adults. We do not procrastinate. We don’t play Civilization 5 until nearly 3 AM instead of getting a good night’s sleep. We got this!

As I organized my characters into several campfire groups, I tried to consolidate them into shared classes and armor types whenever possible — for instance, I have one for my three Mages and one Priest, and another with two Warriors and two Death Knights.

However, there were some leftovers, and I had the hilarious idea to group up my three Warlocks with my Paladin.

I have to say, she isn’t taking too well to her new friends.

Either way, this is The Queue, where we delve into forty-seventeen questions about campfires, so grab your marshmallows, friends.

It's not usual for us to get enormous minion roster shakeups and rule changes right in the middle of a Hearthstone Battlegrounds season, but that's exactly what we just got.

The Queue is a daily column that fights crime, but some people — especially those trying to make scandalous headlines to sell newspapers — may frown upon what they call “vigilante justice.”

Is The Queue a column of heroes? Are we saving the day by providing insightful and amusing answers to your burning questions?

Or is The Queue a menace in column form? Do we exist to sow chaos and spread confusion? I mean, sometimes we do answer your questions with other questions, or give answers that are technically correct but deeply unhelpful. We also like to misinterpret questions on purpose from time to time. We’re unpredictable and we just wanna have fun, like Queues are wont to do.

As you decide for yourselves, let’s head into another day of crime-fighting and feeble attempts to slowly instill our readers with the urge to embark on a quest for world domination, or veiled hints that their questions might contain a hidden conspiracy theorist subtext.

There’s an ancient legend that speaks of Wednesday as being a day for frogs. And here at Blizzard Watch we’re all about honoring such immemorial traditions.

This is The Queue, and here are some questions and some answers. Ribbit.

The X-45 Heartbreaker, formerly known as "Big Love Rocket," is one of the rarest mounts in World of Warcraft — but this time, we might finally have a realistic chance of obtaining it.

The current Hearthstone Battlegrounds metagame — that is, which minions and heroes people are picking to win at the moment — is fast and furious, since this season doesn't have any extra features (such as Quests, Trinkets, or Buddies) to work as catch-up mechanics.

Fairies are cool. They’re smol, helpful, and often sassy. They’re full of vigor and usually have a good moral sense. They like to have fun and play tricks, but not to the point where the jokes become harmful or dangerous (usually).

This is The Queue, where we talk about fairies, but also about Blizzard games, other games, and all the outlandish things that make our wings flutter and whisk us wherever the trail of pixie dust will lead.

For its next miniset, Hearthstone is getting a crossover with StarCraft!
