The Queue

This expression? Shock and awe. But mostly shock. It’s one of those Wednesday moods.

But this is the Queue so let’s get to your questions.

Since we’re playing icebreaker games this week, apparently, I decided to go for the gusto. Never Have I Ever, the game where either you want to confess your secrets, or want to pressure your friends into revealing theirs. In hindsight, it’s a very mean girl thing to pick (so it makes sense that I picked it).

This is The Queue, our daily column where never have I ever asked the questions. So, I get to put a finger down, and you…?

As gamers, we’re no strangers to someone or something asking you the question — would you rather? Would you rather have that power up or this one? Would you rather save Ashley or Kaiden? Would you rather take the hard route or the ultra-nightmare route?

All of this has been on my mind since I found this little tin of pre-written questions at a bookstore event today. It’s just 50 little cards, and there have been some tough ones and not-so-tough ones. Unsurprisingly, my girlfriend, a proud owner of a big St. Bernard, would rather find herself in a room full of giant puppies instead of kittens. Being able to only read the first or last page of every book was a bit of a tougher one, though — I went with the first page, you can build out so much more of a story from there!

Would you rather read the Queue, or take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed, and believe whatever you want to believe.

I mean, I know if you’ve come this far, what the likely answer is — let’s Queue!

For the past few weeks I’ve been playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and after a rough beginning where I thought I wasn’t gonna adapt to the combat system, things finally clicked as soon as I started Act 2 of the game, and I’m loving it as much as a Frenchman loves debating existentialism over some coffee and a cigarette.

It’s such a French game, mon vieux.

That outfit on the header picture is literally called “Baguette,” and it’s the first one you find in the game. It’s almost like the devs were completely aware that the internet was gonna make memes with the fact that this is a French game set on a very France-inspired place, and decided to just rip the bandaid off and get on with more important things.

Either way, this is Le Queue and we’re on a mission to answer questions and eat baguettes — and we’re all out of baguettes. Because the characters in that game took them all and strapped them to their backs for some reason. Iunno, maybe they think they’ll get hungry later.

I’m going for speed today. But the Queuemunity has not left me alone in my time of need.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions but in time our memory faded so we’ll see about the answers.

(ah AH)

The weather here has gotten a little colder, the clouds are out today, and it just feels like a day for a nap. Probably no one would notice if I just took a little snooze right here, would they? I could probably get away with it.

But, no, let’s answer some questions first. Let’s Queue.

It’s not that I enjoy summer, but there’s just something about being outside with your eyes closed and sunglasses on. It’s such a vibe.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we give you something approaching some kind of answer, maybe. As long as we can do it from the hammock. Related, would you mind putting up the hammock while I lie in the grass? Thanks.

I still think this was my best movie recreation I ever did in Warcraft. 

I didn’t do many, maybe it’s my only one! However, I’m still proud of finding a tiny city to stage my Godzilla vs Kong moment.

While I stomp on Tokyo, it’s time for — The Queue!

Let’s have a toast, Queue, for life is to be celebrated. To your health!

Left to my own devices I will absolutely just keep expanding the backstories I create for each and every tabletop RPG character I make, and truthfully, even characters I make for video games like Baldur’s Gate 3, Wrath of the Righteous or Rogue Trader.  I mean, paragraph after paragraph explaining every single detail of my character’s life and history.

I don’t know why I do this.
