We talk our GOTY picks, gaming regrets, and 2023 excitement in a mega-packed year-end WRUP
The Queue: It is the final Wednesday, my dudes
Hello and happy final Wednesday of 2022, Queuefolk!
This is a slow (but not stopped) week of work — which is good since I still need to figure out my New Year’s plans. That may just include staying home and watching Midsommar, but I’d still love to have plans in place one way or another. In any case, that’s New Year’s, which is a few days away. Right now it’s Wednesday.
And Wednesday is The Queue.
The Queue: Blizzard Watches for Blizzard Watchers here at Blizzard Watch
Yes, folks, it’s that time of year — the time of year when we get our most site traffic ever, as confused and windowless souls seek an answer to, “blizard watch right now?”
…Okay, that may not be entirely true, but it IS the fun time of year when our site name becomes a little more confusing for the world. But that’s neither here nor there. What IS here and there is this:
The Queue.
WRUP: How are we supposed to watch the World Cup with all these video games to play?!
The Queue: 12 Days of Mitchmas starts now
What are the 12 Days of Mitchmas, you ask? Basically, every day starting today, you’ll all receive a random blessing from an Old God. It’ll be fun!
Also everyone has to buy me gifts.
QUEUE TIME!
WRUP: The Salmonids invade in Big Run and Team Blizzard Watch is thoroughly hooked on Dragonflight
The Queue: The Salmonids approach
Happy Wednesday, Queuefolk!
This weekend is actually the start of Big Run in Splatoon 3, and while it’s not the same as a Splatfest, it feels kind of like the Salmon Run equivalent of it, which I’m very excited for. I didn’t really play a whole lot of Salmon Run before this game, but I’ve been loving it so far and (after a small break for other games) am really excited to see if the drop rate on scales is better.
But that’s probably gibberish to most of you, so let’s do what we came here to do: Queue.
The Queue: DF actually stands for, “December?! Fuuuuu…dge”
I know it’s not technically December yet — but it’s close enough and you won’t have another Queue until it’s already been December for a bit, so I’m counting this. Anyhow, it’s just about December, and that’s mildly terrifying because I have no idea what happened to November. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to speed through winter as quickly as possible… but dang, life does not slow down.
Anyhow, grab yourself some December Fudge, get comfy, and join us in front of an imaginary cozy fire.
It’s Queue time.
The Queue: Cup of worlds
I’m not typically a sports person — I can get into a game pretty well, especially in person — but I don’t usually make it a habit to tune into a whole lot of live sporting events. The World Cup is absolutely an exception to that.
I don’t necessarily follow any particular player or team or anything like that, but I still love watching the games happen live and letting myself get invested in the action. (Sometimes, I’ll arbitrarily pick a side to root for, just to spice it up, too.) In any case, I’m writing this as Spain takes on Costa Rica, with Japan having upset Germany not long before. So, to anyone else who shares my joy of watching the World Cup, cheers, friends!
And to everyone in general… let’s Queue.
