The Queue: “Queue” is actually short for its full name, “Queuenathan”

There has been some discussion lately as to the meaning of the Queue. It is, of course, a Q&A column, but that’s a Q and not a Queue (and explains why we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel for questions some days). Liz claims it’s from “login queue” but none of you people are waiting to log in, unless it’s to reserve a name in Forever. Hope that went well for you this week, by the way. Personally, I think “Queue” is just short for “Queuenathan.” “Please, call it The Queue; The Queuenathan is my father(‘s column).”

Look, it’s a Friday. This is the Queuenathan, our daily Q&A column where occasionally I go off the rails and sometimes I even answer your questions.


The Queue: And if you can believe it, it’s a Friday once again

It’s Friday! Can you believe it was just BlizzCon last weekend? Honestly, even as someone who was a somewhat disinterested watcher going into the whole thing, it was hard not to get more than a little excited about some of the stuff that we’ve all discussed endlessly all week around here. Now it’s a new weekend, and I have to shift into a tabletop headspace: I have four games scheduled for this weekend. Pray for my poor brain cells, they’re gonna get worn out by Sunday night.

This is the Queue, our daily question and answer question column where the definition of “question” can get pretty broad, but so can the definition of “answer.” Let’s get into it.
