The Queue

I think in the end, N’Zoth really just wants a hug. Why else would it keep pulling you in with its shadow tentacles? It wants a hug and then it’s upset when we reply with violence. It’s a sad story.

Man, kind of crazy to think it’s been almost 3 years since my first Splatfest-themed Queue, huh? And here we are again, revisiting that fateful Mayo vs. Ketchup battle. I still don’t quite know why it came down to those two choices, and spraying white ink all over the map as Team Mayo is, um… interesting. But I am excited as heck, because I missed Splatfests so much.

The bonus Splatfest kicks off tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. Pacific, and (unlike last time), I’ll be repping Team Mayo. It’s gonna be a good time.

Anyhow, it’s Queue time.

I’ve lived with an anxiety disorder for years, and one of the ways I’ve dealt with it is by isolating myself as much as possible from other people. Going to BlizzCon last year was a massive effort, and while I was very glad I got to go, I was also very tense and even afraid the whole time. Coming home was sad, because BlizzCon was so amazing, but it was also a huge relief to not be around so many people, and to be with my wife and our little family again.

So it’s strange. In a way, all this self-isolation we’re all doing now is just how I live all the time, so I’m seeing everyone having a hard time coping and I have no idea how to help. I hope you’re all holding up okay.

This is the Queue. We can hang out here.

This week marks the end of the school year, apparently — we end our school year early and go back in the first couple weeks of August. As such, I’m not sure what to do this summer. No swimming lessons, no summer reading story hour at the library, no going to the childrens’ museum to see the dinosaur skeletons, and definitely no playing on slides at the park. It’s just gonna be us, Roblox, Disney Plus, and the kiddie pool out back.

Help me.

I know that you’re supposed to see Wolpertinger’s when you’re drunk — but I’m stone-cold sober here, I swear! Maybe it’s the lack of sleep?

While I ponder this, let’s go to — the Queue.

I’m not sure how it keeps becoming Friday, but it’s Friday! Again!

I think y’all know how much I like MUSE. If you don’t, well, I really like MUSE. That’s why, when I found out their lead singer had put out a new solo song, I was very happy. It’s slower, and it’s not necessarily my favorite type of MUSE song, but I still like it. And it hits that “new MUSE song” fix that I pretty much constantly have.

Anyhow, enough of that. We’re in Queuesville. Population: Us.

Guys, switching to Lightforged has revitalized the game for me. I’m enjoying it a lot more now, and I really feel like it was the fight move for me. Sometimes that’s what you have to do, make a change to make things work. Of course, it’s still a Warrior, because let’s not get crazy here.

Anyway, this is the Queue. Let’s talk about stuff.

I started writing The Queue, and then

Wait, where was I? Right, I was writing The Queue, and in the comments somebody linked this YouTube channel, so I’ve just been watching that all

Huh? Oh, right, The Queue, where you answer questions and then we give the questions. Wait, what? Whatever. Did you guys see they’re putting out Hamilton on Disney+ in July? I’m really surprised by

Okay, we have to stop getting off track. Let’s just — hang on, where AM I?

It’s finally over. I’ve done everything on Mechagon island required of me to get the keys to the shiny Monocycle. I am Mecha-Done. I really liked Mechagon when it first came out in 8.2. After the struggles to get the last things necessary for the achievement — I like it a little less.

It was a lot. But it’s over now and it’s time for — the Queue.
