The Queue

Oink oink!

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Due to recent events, nobody in my family really felt like doing anything really traditional for Thanksgiving, so my sister suggested she could bring over her “D&D stuff” and run a little one-shot for everyone. Promptly after her arrival it looked like Wizards of the Coast threw up on the dining room table and we spent a good eight hours playing a game that ended up definitely being neither little nor a one-shot. Hai Flutin the Tiefling Bard (Yes, I did that) will make her return at some point in the future, along with everyone else in the party, and nobody’s really upset about that at all.

But hey, we have questions to answer, so for now let’s get to that, shall we?

If I had to list my favorite games of the past decade, I know that Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft would be on that list, but I also know that Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dragon Age Inquisition and now Assassin’s Creed Odyssey would also be high on that thing. And I really wish, in all the really good multiplayer stuff that Blizzard is putting out, that there felt like there was anybody there willing to take one of those IP’s I love like Diablo or StarCraft and go nuts with a gigantic open world game that I could play whether or not my internet connection was up that moment.

I know, this is a perennial complaint with me. But still, I’d love to play a single player RPG with the polish and attention to detail of Overwatch. 

Basically I’ve been spending a lot of time in Ancient Greece lately and I’d love it if I could have that kind of experience in Sanctuary is what I’m saying. Anyway, it’s the Queue, let’s do this.

Time is an illusion, Queue-time doubly so. In which the Queue may be running a little late, depending on your particular point of view.

I don’t know what Team Salsa did to win 3-0, but it couldn’t have been fair. This may have been my most successful Splatfest and somehow, it’s one of the worst losses? No way. They cheated.

Anyhow, why not nom on some of the right choice — guacamole (preferably spicy/oniony) — while we Queue?

So it’s been a day, all told. Nothing y’all would care about, just life stuff. I woke up this morning convinced that the Cardigans wrote Linger, which is a Cranberries song.

Let’s talk Blizzard games, shall we?

It’s been a heck of a night. Toilet exploded and vomited sewage into my house. No, really. My dog was very upset with the repair guy. I’ve been up all night. It’s been real. Anyway, this is the Queue. That’s my beard. Let’s do this. No, I’m not doing the “Let’s Queue this” joke, I’m tired.

Let’s get one thing clear: When Adam asked if anyone could cover his Queue today, a not-insignificant portion of my reason for saying I would cover it came down to reading Lotharfox’s question below. It was, frankly, too good to pass up.

Also I’m still in Michigan and it still sucks. I’m not going to let this one go, despite several commenters claiming Michigan to be a great place. It’s not a great place. It’s just not.

All right, time to Queue (Queue).

Hi.

I’m back from California after a nearly two-week trip and, well, it sucks. Michigan is cold and some of the best people I know are 2,000 miles away.

Let’s Queue.

Don’t you know who I am? I mean, don’t you know who I am?

Last week I nearly pulled that on someone in my raid group, who kept telling me to read an article published on Blizzard Watch so I would understand what they were saying. I don’t think I’ve ever been more tempted to play the “do you know who I am” card. But come on: you lot do know who I am, don’ t you?

Come on and work with me here….
