The Queue

Going over this Queue, a few paltry hours from yet another doctor’s appointment (one in which my foot will have chunks of callouses carved off, and no, that’s not a joke) and I’m realizing that I’m trying as hard as I can to give short answers because every time I get excited and write a long one the CMS crashes.

Like that sentence above. That’ll probably kill this Queue. I’m literally shaking right now imagining it.

I’m off on a trip this week, so I won’t be joining you to chat below (I have a lot of driving to do as I head off to meet up with my guild, several states away) — but I’ll check in later tonight to say hello. Where traveling is concerned, it’s about the destination, not the journey, and driving is quite in the way of arriving. (Still, it’s better than flying.)

But while I’m on the road, here are some questions to discuss. Please talk amongst yourselves.

Sometimes answering Queue questions takes a lot of nuance, but sometimes it’s as simple as a yes or no question.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we y/n.

It’s just a regular old Monday. You’ve asked questions, and I’ve answered them. I haven’t even said anything as wildly contentious as I did last week! Although I still stand by it, some of those classes could lose a bit of extra weight in their midsection.

While I pour myself a big cup of coffee, it’s time for — The Queue!

It’s Friday the 13th, and I’m scared. Hold me, Queue!

Or a Fallout 5 for that matter.

I was downloading some mods for Fallout 4 when it hit me — this game is going to be ten years old this year. At this point, why make TES 6 when you can just get a version of Skyrim that’ll run on your refridgerator?

What is the Queue? A endless loop, a pile of questions with the occasional answer. And just the Queue. Hello, Queue. Let’s chat.

My son is home for school break and singing all his favorites at top volume all day long. He’s discovered early 00s pop punk, and also he spends a lot of time in my office, so every article I write, I have to be very careful not to include lyrics unintentionally.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and we’ll carry on.

Check out my new, slightly used copy of Warcraft 3’s collector’s edition! It’s so shiny and full of great art and fun little side bits.

I got it for a song and a half, too, so I’m pretty happy to have it up on my shelf. It’s even got the original CD key, so I wonder if I could install it on a computer without the internet and play the very base version of the game before all of the patches and such tweaked things. It’d be interesting to find out!

While I see if I still have a computer with a cd tray, it’s time for — The Queue!

Tactics? Ha! Everyone’s got them. The Jinyu contemplate things like it’s some kind of staring contest. The Shado-Pan meditate before battle like they’re heading out for tea time. Me? I dance through the chaos, and the chaos dances for me.

The key to ‘tactics’ is this: be what they don’t expect. When they guard high, strike low! When they chase you, lead them off a cliff! When they think they’ve won, you’re already three steps ahead, stealing their luckydos and trading ’em to the grummles for a rampaging yak!

Sometimes a clever trick beats a thousand blades. Sometimes a banana peel wins a war.
