The past two weeks have been among the worst I have ever lived through.

I don’t have anything funny to say about that. I have not slept, I am not likely to sleep, I just keep trudging forward through this whole monotonously awful month and year, and everything keeps getting harder and harder and I see no real relief in the future. It’s been sincerely just the worst.

Lately playing video games has been all about keeping myself distracted. So hey, here’s the Queue, and then I’ll go back to distracting myself.

You may have heard that Blackwing Lair is getting seriously buffed in WoW Classic's Season of Mastery, with significant changes to almost every single fight -- perhaps every fight, but we don't know what's up with Broodlord Lashlayer yet -- but while some of these fights are pretty radically altered, none is as complicated as the upcoming Nefarian changes.

Back in November, Blizzard launched the first Season of Mastery realms for WoW Classic.

I'm personally the kind of player who finds a game he likes and plays it into the ground, logging in repeatedly to play multiple characters.

It has been a really terrifying, hellish month and it's only the third day of it as I write this, and so, as a coping mechanism I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4.  Yes, that's right, I deal with stress by playing a game where humanity blew up the world.

Okay, so you've decided you want to create your own world in your weekly tabletop game.

Gonna just get right to it this week. It’s the Queue, you know how this works, and I haven’t slept more than an hour a day in a week so I doubt I could be clever even if I wanted to.

Horizon Zero Dawn is full of villainous characters.

So we finally know what Craig Amai has been working on.

Maggie Baird is a writer, an actress, and a songwriter and singer. So it’s a bit reductive of me to call her ‘Billie Eilish’s mom’ like that, but the song lyric demanded it. So, to be clear, she’s written and performed a movie soundtrack, won multiple awards, and has an impressive IMDB page. She also does a great job providing the voice for Samara, who is objectively both welcoming and terrifying.

Samara is one of my favorite squadmates in ME2, especially on this Vanguard playthrough because we can combo biotic almost anything to death, and she’s actually just a really cool person, if somewhat tragic. I’m still amazed anyone ever picks Morinth over her, but I guess some people really just want to be killed by a vampire Asari.
