The Queue: By the time you read this…
Let’s just say I won’t be having a great day.
It’s the Queue. Let’s do the usual.
How do you prefer the lore of a game relate to the player experience? How much of it should come from outside the game itself?
Games approach their storytelling in different ways for different reasons.
Looking back at origins of Ahn’Qiraj, the Aqir, and the Titanforged with the launch of Ahn’Qiraj in WoW Classic
C'Thun is a tinkering Old God.
The Ahn’Qiraj War Effort hasn’t even started, but some realms have already finished it
How long does it take to complete the Qiraji War Effort and open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj in WoW Classic?
Ex-Method raiders form new guild — but can Echo rise from the ashes of the Method implosion?
If you don't know about the implosion of Method, one of the premier world first raiding guilds across the long history of World of Warcraft, then let me just warn you, it's disturbing to see the litany of sexual misconduct and harassment -- and sometimes worse -- that came out in recent months about the guild and specific members.
What do you think is the best way to get to max level before Shadowlands?
I personally prefer the simple approach when it comes to leveling in World of Warcraft right now.
How quickly do you acclimate to expansion changes?
I was surprised back at BlizzCon 2019 when I got hands on with Bastion -- surprised because of how quickly I adjusted to being level 50 instead of level 120.
Should Diablo 3 Season 21 bring back double Treasure Goblins?
The temptation to answer the headline of this post with a giant yes was irresistable, and yet, I have not simply written yes in giant ten foot tall letters.
The Queue: Comfort food, but with gaming instead
There are games that I play because they are familiar and require no real thought. Games I’ve played and played and played and played. Mass Effect 2 and 3. All the Dragon Age games, especially 2 and Inquisition. Diablo 3. Definitely Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. And while I love new games and can’t wait for a bunch of them to come out, right now, I’m very okay with my current dive into old friends as a means to cope with all the things happening in the world today.
This is the Queue.
