The Queue: I wouldn’t call Dogtown quaint as such
It’s surprising to me how little I’ve talked about Phantom Liberty on the site considering the sheer amount of discussion of Cyberpunk 2077 I’ve engaged in since late 2020.

The Queue: Dilophosaurus, the dinosaur that did not have venom
If you think of a man getting murdered by a venom spitting Dilophosaurus due to its appearance in Jurassic Park, I don’t regret to inform you that the animal in question was over 20 to 25 feet long, weighed around a ton, and absolutely did not have (much less need) venom of any kind.
How do you know if you’re a fan of a game or not?
I think I'm a fan of the Diablo games, but not the Assassin's Creed games.

What do aesthetics mean to you in a game?
I think I still love World of Warcraft because I love the way Azeroth looks.
