The Queue

Winter Veil is live and we’re heading towards the end of 2021 as the holiday season — both real and imagined — zooms by. It’s wild how we’ve already gone through another year, isn’t it?

But wonderful or not, timely or not, now it’s time for the Queue.

Happy Thursday, folks! It’s holiday season and… well, right now it’s actually in the 60s and very windy so it doesn’t exactly feel like mid-December, but hey, it’s still technically that time of year.

Coincidentally, a lot of today’s questions are themed around the holidays! So let’s dive in, shall we?

Queuedolph, with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my Queue tonight (in some parts of the world)?

Kassandra wouldn’t be caught dead going on vacation without it.

Y’all, the new Odyssey DLC is wild. It really puts a spotlight on Kassandra’s role in the greater lore of the franchise and gives me hope that they might eventually reveal she’s not as dead as we think she is. But even if they don’t, it’s still a really cool little DLC. I’ll be trying the Valhalla one next, will report on that next chance I get.

It’s the Queue. I am so very tired. It’s -29 C outside my house today and it’s gonna get colder all week.

Did you ever recommend a game a whole lot to (almost) literally everyone, and then they immediately turn around and recommend a different game to you, but you’re already busy playing the game you keep telling (almost) literally everyone to play that you really don’t want to play their game? And yes, even the standalone content, like the soundtrack, is superb to the extent it gives you frisson chills, and gives you a real sense of the game to boot? And then everyone else is like, “but Bugsnax is so fun!” and you’re just real tired all of a sudden?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions, and you should definitely play The Long Dark, and then maybe we’ll answer.

I swear I swore off fighting this guy back in Legion. Oh well, here we go again.

While I get beat up by a demon lord, it’s time for — The Queue.

It’s not as glamorous as it sounds.

It’s actually more glamorous.

It’s a role that’s never dull, that requires constant focus, and if anyone annoys you, you can just let them die and run back without a rez. Or for those “blame the healer” parties, you can quit and let them spend another twenty minutes in the queue to get a replacement, reveling in your small, bitter victory over your critics.

Really, healing is a win all around.

Happy Thursday, folks! Right about the time I started writing this, news broke that ABK workers are going on strike. And with The Game Awards tonight, I’m sure it’s going to be quite the day.

For now, though, we’re here to Queue.

Most of those secrets involve my back and how much it hates me.

It’s a lot.

This is the Queue. I am one year older. Let us ruminate on the mysteries of the universe.

Today is our very own Matt Rossi’s birthday, so make sure to leave them the gift of some softball questions for tomorrow’s queue. Preferably some about dinosaurs. You know how they like those.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’ll answer while eating a slice of cake.

Orbs! They’re everywhere right now. Who knows why, but who am I to go against the will of the internet…

While I try and find more Orbs to ponder, it’s time for — The Orb Queue.
