The Queue

Somehow Friday sneaks up on me every week. Every week.

Wow, is it already Thursday? I mean, it isn’t for me. But it will be when you read this. I guess unless you live somewhere where it’s not or you’re another writer at the site and are peeking at this ahead of time.

Okay, let’s forget how time and days work and just say “Happy today, folks!” and then get on with The Queue. Sound good?

The Queue!

Let’s just say I won’t be having a great day.

It’s the Queue. Let’s do the usual.

The issue I’m finding with escapism in times of crisis is that, for me, it tends to make the tough things tougher to start when I actually get around to doing them. But for now, I’m a faerie princess floating around a mystical blue landscape. It’s cool, I don’t have to order school supplies for de facto homeschool until after I stop glittering, which will be never. Ah, Ardenweald.

This is The Queue, where you ask me questions and I definitely don’t put off answering them until the very last minute.

I’ve been writing for Blizzard Watch for two years!

Well almost. My actual two year anniversary is on Friday, but I totally spaced on it and didn’t even think to ask if Liz would switch with me for the sake of symmetry — that’s my bad. Still though, two years! Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday I was writing about the Battle for Azeroth launch. I’m still writing about the upcoming expansion launch, but now I have over 200 articles to my name!

A huge thank you to Liz and Adam for hiring me! Thank you to Mitch, Anna, and Liz for being such great editors who make my words into better words! Plus, everyone else who writes and streams for us for being just the most approachable nicest people to have as coworkers. And a special thank you to all of the readers and patrons of Blizzard Watch for helping to keep the lights on — you all rock!

Now before I get too emotional — 3…2…1… let’s Queue.

Okay, maybe we’ll talk about a little more than dogs, but we’re definitely spending some time talking about dogs.

Yes, believe it or not, today means we’re officially 100 days away from Halloween! …but we’re probably not going to have most of the usual shenanigans this year, which is a mega bummer. Oh well, I’ll still do my best to celebrate the spooOoOo0ky season when the time comes.

Until then, how about we Queue?

There are games that I play because they are familiar and require no real thought. Games I’ve played and played and played and played. Mass Effect 2 and 3. All the Dragon Age games, especially 2 and Inquisition. Diablo 3. Definitely Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. And while I love new games and can’t wait for a bunch of them to come out, right now, I’m very okay with my current dive into old friends as a means to cope with all the things happening in the world today.

This is the Queue.

Uh and that day is certainly a day of the week. Probably. Pandemic time is a whole new thing y’all.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we answer, as long as we remember it’s our day to write The Queue, which I definitely did.

I know that I can’t be the only one who makes little “pew pew pew” laser noises when I’m using my Essence of the Focusing Iris. It happens even more often when I’m on my Demon Hunter between the Essence, Eye Beam, and Fel Barrage. Lasers are fun!

While I’m recharging my lasers, I take you now to — The Queue (Queue Queue)
