The Queue: All hail the mighty Cube

It’s been a little while since I wrote about Fortnite in one of these intros, but it’s about time to do so again. Why? Because a few weeks back, the mysterious crack in the sky disappeared — but it left behind a gift! That gift was the mysterious Cube, which spawned after lightning struck the same area several times over the course of a day or so. When the Cube finally appeared, players noticed it would bounce them away if they touched it, as well as lash out at anyone nearby if attacked.

Then, it started moving.

It’s moved pretty far at this point, and it’s already left behind two runes surrounded areas of low-gravity. Oh, and at one point during the Summer Skirmish, it made everyone float — literally no one had seen that before or expected it (not everyone found it as funny as I did). All in all, the mystery of the Cube and where it’s going is yet another example of Fortnite keeping players intrigued through seemingly small changes that are clearly building toward something big.

Anyhow, I suppose it’s time we talk Blizzard, huh? This is The Queue.


The Queue: Fork! Me can’t eat soup!

Much as I wanted to support my Gremlin Girl Pearl, it was hard to argue that spoons were more useful than forks once liquid meals were brought into the equation. And while spoons did ultimately win the popularity contest, forks still won the overall Splatfest. They barely won, but they won all the same.

Both sides won pretty close to 50% of their matches (with Forks slightly ahead), but I swear, I must have lost 75% of my matches. The Shifty Station this time around was another that helped emphasize both offense and defense, but I think I liked last month’s better. Let’s see what next month brings — and if the requirement of the Switch’s online service will change anything.

But that’s the future — right now it’s The Queue(ture).


The Queue: You missed when Time and Life shook hands and said, “Goodbye.”

Hello! Apologies for any confusion my absence yesterday might have caused. As you probably guessed (or were told by Liz), I was in the middle of some serious HARDCORE GAMING. But I’m back now and can report that level 120 is full of… well, max-level content. I didn’t do most of the cross-continent content on beta, so it’s all new territory for me (as opposed to the leveling zones, which I did at least once each, if not twice).

Anyhow, it’s Queue time.
