The Horadrim--  the order of mages dedicated to stopping demons from invading Sanctuary -- have many weapons to fight the forces of evil, but only one to stop them: the Soulstone.

The upcoming Season 6, called Invasion, is going to introduce a series of story missions to Overwatch 2 which follows up on the narrative threads introduced in the painfully excellent Zero Hour trailer we first saw at 2019's BlizzCon.

I am ludicrously excited for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and not just because Idris Elba is playing a character in it. It’s a complete revamp of the entire game — highly expanded vehicle combat, more varied interactions with the Police (in other words, you can get them mad at you) and a revamped cyberwear system that allows for Cyberpsychosis if your V indulges too much in extreme cyber-modification.  Clothes are now just clothes, with  no armor or stats, which means you can wear anything you want without worrying that it doesn’t give the proper stats.

I’ve been in love with Cyberpunk 2077 ever since Joe Perez convinced me I should give it a shot, so this is all very exciting to me. Anyway, at least I’m still capable of thinking about games other than — well, you know. It’s the Queue, let’s chat about stuff.

One of the things that happens as you progress in playing a new game is that you grow accustomed to the control scheme and no longer have to think very hard about it.

Sometimes it’s the little things. Or, in this case, the relatively large things. I mean, that’s a pretty big hat.

It’s the Queue and me and my big hat are here to answer your questions.

Though the franchise is named after Diablo, the Lord of Terror is not the only of the Evils to stalk the surface of Sanctuary.

I realize I may be in the minority here, but sometimes I would rather spend several hours on stuff that has a story -- like, a branching, unfolding series of quests that at the end have revealed something about the world or given you an insight into a character -- than play content designed to reward me with specific items on a schedule.

In the original Diablo, you could just barely make out your character.

Diablo 4 has added some new stats (and new ways to use old stats), including the defensive stat Fortify, which helps decrease incoming damage.

Me?

What have I been up to?

You know, just hanging out. Playing a little game. You probably won’t have heard of it.
