The Queue

This is something I hadn’t really thought about before, but when someone really loves something I don’t enjoy — be it a game, a movie or TV series or a kind of food or whatever it may be — I’ve made a real, concerted effort lately to not interject with an opinion unless directly solicited, and to couch that opinion as fully as possible in a critique of the thing in question and not people who enjoy it.

I’m not the fun police. If you’re having fun playing something, or watching something, or eating something — if you find a moment of enjoyment in this world, however small, however fleeting, as far as I’m concerned that’s a positive for everyone. I’m really making an attempt to keep this in mind. The whole mentality of relentless negativity has poisoned a lot of discourse, I don’t need to add to it.

This is the Queue. It’s not just enough to let people like things. Be happy that they found something that they enjoy, even if you don’t share their enthusiasm for it.

You ever been so busy you just need to sit down and stare for a minute?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’ll… we’ll get around to answering in just like, a minute. Be cool.

Am I feeling crabby because I’ve been watching the Race to World First all weekend and have seen hundreds of attempts on Halondrus? Or am I feeling crabby because an hour of sleep was cruelly stolen from me?

It could honestly be either. Evolutions arm is long, but it always bends toward crab.

While I give my kitchen tongs a few click clacks to get used to the feeling, it’s time for — The Queue.

Okay. I admit, I may have panicked about Chaddius a little too quickly. Chaddius only takes a break up by the lake when he’s Steward of the Day, which can only happen when there’s a calling in Bastion. So Chaddius was never exactly missing — it just wasn’t his day off to chill with a box of wine.

Because, really, that’s the kind of day off that we all want.

But I haven’t seen him since I started my quest. Which either means I managed to miss his day even though I thought I was paying attention, or he’s having a really long workweek. So I hope Chaddius gets a break soon so I can go say hi.

But while we wait for Chaddius, let’s get to the Queue.

While Elden Ring certainly doesn’t have the photorealism or detail of Horizon Forbidden West, it certainly still has beautiful locations and art.

Anyhow, this is Thursday and it is The Queue. Let’s Thurs it!

I have spent the night, instead of sleeping, watching these cursed cocktails videos and I’m having visceral sympathy disgust every time he drinks something with Malort in it. Not to mention the beef fizz.

I don’t know why I did this. I mean, I am an alcoh0lic, but I haven’t had any since 2006. This is the Queue.

…because if you ask me about being a Hunter for Cory’s Class Week, well, chances are Rutherford Bear Hayes is going to steal the spotlight. It’s fine though. He has a lot to say.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we give you the answers. Or our bear does. Whichever.

So without consulting with any of the other Queue writers, I’m going to try and get a week of class-focused Queues! Maybe this will work, maybe it won’t! It might depend on how many questions y’all can ask them about their preferred classes. If everything goes according to my bearly thought-out plan we’ll have Druid, Hunter, Warrior, Shadow Priest, and Paladin Queues.

And now without further aqueue… it’s time for The Queue!

It’s grand theft Chaddius over here, but Team Blizzard Watch is on the case. We’re going to rebrand the site into Chaddius Watch and post wall-to-wall coverage of this tragedy. We’re going to post missing persons fliers all over Bastion. We’re going to put Chaddius’ face on milk cartons. We’re going to make sad tribute videos that force the world to take notice. We aren’t going to stop until this Steward is safely brought back home.

I was going to do a bit about looking so fly next to Chaddius in my Rhinestone Sunglasses and use that as the excuse for why I’m here instead of Mitch today — because I do look extremely fly. But when I got to where he normally lives, Chaddius is missing!

WHERE IS HE?! IS HE ALRIGHT? NOBODY BETTER HAVE HURT MY GOOD STEWARD FRIEND CHADDIUS!!!!

While I try and get to the bottom of this heinous mystery, it’s time for — The Queue.
