Sometimes it’s just word salad that got stuck in my head. Not always… not even often… but sometimes.

Hi, all. I’m your emergency Cory this week, as he broke the glass and informed me he needed a fill in for the Queue. I don’t know if it’s an earworm or not, but I’m listening to Switchback by Celldweller.

I tend to be a "deep-dive binge" kind of gamer.

One of the most subtle and compelling processes to watch has been the inexorable shift in WoW Classic from an almost museum-piece reproduction of the original World of Warcraft to the game that is being released as Wrath of the Lich King Classic.

Rather than continue the loot box system from the original Overwatch, Overwatch 2's main system of getting new skins, sprays, voice lines -- and now, Heroes -- will be a Battle Pass.

Yeah, this one was a doozy all told. Yerac wants to hear my thoughts about a famous comic book writer and artist who wrote some really yikes stuff, and so, they get their wish.

I didn’t even mention all the cheesecake and exploitation he did with She-Hulk, because compared to this, that stuff was tame.

On September 19, Azeroth will once again experience Pirate's Day and with it, the potential exists to get yourself the Jolly Roger toy.

Kiriko is a new support hero coming to Overwatch 2, inspired heavily by the nine-tailed kitsune from Japanese folklore.

As of this week, if a raid group decides they want to do so, they can activate two raid-wide Fated Powers, essentially dealing with two mechanics to add complication to the raid encounters, and getting two raid benefits if they deal with both successfully.

Oh, hi disordered sleeping patterns.

Hey, did you know a bag of potatoes could actually liquify in less than a couple of months and turn into a disgusting slurry of decay and putrescence so nightmarish that H.P. Lovecraft would have stopped being racist long enough to complain that you were using too many adjectives to describe it? No? Well it’s true, and the smell it makes will require you to bust out the cleaning vinegar — oh, and by the way, there’s vinegar that comes in cleaning strength, and it smells so strongly of vinegar that you’ll never believe anything could ever smell bad enough that you’d want to use it to clean anything, but by God a bag of potatoes that have gone Super-Shoggoth on you will absolutely do it — and just scrub every surface where the foul abhorrence of undead potato funk has so much as dripped.

I had to throw out the little blender we used to use for pet food because it was just smothered in potato gunk. Something inside it actually cracked when I lifted it off of the cupboard floor. I did not sleep at all last night just from the memory of the smell.

Anyway, here’s the Queue. Rotten potatoes actually smell worse than dead people, something I wish profoundly I didn’t know.

Whenever a transmog system is introduced into one of the many games I play, I immediately look at it and debate whether or not it would be a good fit for World of Warcraft, the game that taught me how much I love transmog.
