What won’t you do in video games?
There are certain moments in games that hit me and I can't abide some of the choices.
How do you deal with game burnout?
I used to try and fight it when I got burned out on World of Warcraft.
The Queue: Tearing my hair out
So I sat down to write the Queue. Did so. Tried to get as many things in it as I could. Then, on my way to save it, somehow lost the entire post and now have to write it again.
This is the Queue. I am screaming inside.
The Queue: Well, if we must…
Look, blame Kalcheus and Jalamenos for talking about the game.
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.
What do you think about the 2024 World of Warcraft release schedule?
It was pretty wild when the World of Warcraft developer team managed to plan out and execute the ambitious 2023 roadmap.
How often do you want to play a game?
I like being able to play games as much or as little as I want.
How do you view gameplay as a story element?
One of my favorite phrases is "ludonarrative dissonance" and I often find myself musing on it.
When does Dragonflight Season 4 start?
We don't have an official date for when Dragonflight Season 4 will start, but we can make a reasonable guess based on previous seasons.
How does long-form storytelling impact your gameplay?
One of the things of the past few World of Warcraft expansions is how the story has stretched and grown while it was being told.
