Mitch

I mean, every week has been A Week™ for many weeks now, but this past week was definitely A Week™ in its own right.

Now that I’ve said “week” a bunch, I’d say we’re ready for my weekly weeknanigans. What say we Queue?

Of the many, many pieces of news unveiled yesterday, one of them seemed to strike a nerve among the community more than others: Heirlooms will no longer provide XP bonuses in Shadowlands.

Music and Nintendo. That seems pretty “Mitch,” right?

Yeah.

Now, let’s Queue.

Yesterday, Blizzard had held its much-anticipated (and once-delayed) Shadowlands stream event.

Some weeks, I can write an intro that’s fun and about a specific topic without feeling like I’m being disingenuous. Other weeks, the world seems like it’s so on fire that trying to pretend otherwise feels wrong. There’s been a lot of upsetting (yet important-to-bring-to-light) news in the gaming world this past week or so, and that makes this week one of the latter weeks.

So I’ll just say this: Be good. To each other, to yourself, and just in general.

Now then, let’s Queue.

I don’t know about you guys, but I am SO excited for New Pokemon Snap (even if they definitely could’ve given it a catchier name). It’s seriously been on my Switch wishlist for years. I am gonna snap so many ‘mons when it’s out.

But enough about that. Let’s talk about something more immediately in the future. The Last of Us: Part Queue.

…Okay not really. But I wanted to fit that joke in here somewhere since the game comes out tonight.

World of Warcraft has over 100 different dungeons and dozens of raids, and each has its own set of bosses.

Raise your hand if you know what "Dranosh" means.

Nowadays, it's hard to find a game that doesn't demand your attention after the credits roll, and while Evan's Remains does technically do that, it's only for a few moments to provide a bit of a bonus for some of the game's Kickstarter supporters.

How’s everyone hanging in there? Well, I hope. If not, it’s almost the weekend, which ideally means a bit of a break.

Anyhow, it’s today at Queue time, which means it’s Queue time. Let’s start with a nice message.
