The Queue

Just always try and remember that, okay? You’re all cool people and you should be cool to each other. You deserve it and it’s worth repeating from time to time when things get harder. If you’re having a hard time, I hope it gets better soon. For all of us.

I can’t decide if I want playable Ogres or Vrykul more.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk Blizzard.

So the South Park kids are known to play Warcraft and other Blizzard games; but you know who I’d really like to get see get into WoW or Overwatch?

The gang from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Frank would obviously be an orc warrior tank, Dee would be forced to play a balance druid in moonkin form, Charlie would be an assassination rogue riding around on his rat mount while slowly turn into The Nightman, Mack would play a priest (I went there), and Dennis would be a ret pally.

Tell me that doesn’t work. I dare you.

I have to say, it’s very hard to be bored when you’re being chased down by several dozen whelplings. Sure, they’re only baby dragons, but they have so many tiny teeth and a small fireball will scorch you as well as a big one.

But just because I’m not bored doesn’t mean it’s not boring.

Hey, remember a few weeks back when I asked you to list some songs that sounded happy but had not-happy lyrics? I finally got around to making your suggestions into a playlist. Check it out sometime. And let me know if I happened to miss anything — “Don’t Burn the Day” and this fight music were the only two that I couldn’t find.

Oh yeah, some songs have NSFW lyrics. Listen with headphones or at your own discretion or something.

Give that a listen (or don’t, I can’t tell you what to do) while you read this edition of… THE QUEUE!!!!

I’m not sure if these little dudes are after the fish left out on that table, or the lemon on top of the fish. What I am sure of is that they should both be made Battle Pets immediately. I mean…look at them, they’re adorable!

Just my occasional reminder that if not for you guys I’d likely be dead. At the very least I’d be completely blind and unable to write this Queue, or indeed, anything. So thank you.

It’s the Queue. Let’s talk about games.

I’m having some Irish Coffee today. It’s great. I’d suggest you try some too.

I have questions about some of yesterday’s Queue comments. Questions that are never going to be answered because I am not going to google them. But I think I’m going to blame Mitch and his Nintendo talk. I have a feeling that’s a significant portion of the problem.

And now that we’ve gotten the difficult business of who to blame out of the way, let’s get on to an all-new day of madness.

This month’s Splatfest was a bit of a different one. Not only did it use a revamped system to determine the winner (Clout instead of matches won), it also resulted in the first win for Marina in a long time. Unfortunately, it also happened to be the Splatfest where I’ve been the most genuinely angry at the game.

When 11:00 p.m. rolled around, I had an hour left to get in just a couple wins. I figured I’d be done in 20-30 minutes tops. So, naturally, I wound up going on a 7-game losing streak where the matchmaking consistently placed me against teams that were rated higher. I don’t know why, but it frustrated me to no end. I finally hit Queen (the max Splatfest rank) at 11:57 p.m.. I was not a happy camper.

Anyhow, that’s literally all for any Nintendo-related anything that we’ll be discussing today. Let’s Queue.

The Cupola Cafe offers a variety of drinks and delicious snacks, each artfully handcrafted with only the finest of goods. I thoroughly recommend the Major’s Frothy Coffee, a rich blend of local beans with just the right amount of bitterness to offset the foam.

The waitstaff on the other hand, hover to the point of being completely intolerable — which is why I sadly have to drop their rating from four to two and a half stars. If you’re visiting the establishment, I suggest picking up your coffee to go.

Wait, this isn’t a review column, this is the Queue. You have questions. Let’s answer those, why don’t we?
