The Queue

While we’re all together, the Queue.

There is a picture of a giant flaming spider at the end of this post. This is a warning for all arachnophobes. I don’t want you to get your phobia activated.

The newest weekly quest from High Speaker Brinthe to collect 100 titan disc fragments had a very interesting revelation that I’m not going to get into because it wouldn’t be fair as many people haven’t had a chance to complete it yet. But I recommend doing so as they’re dropping some ginormous hints about what the ultimate culmination plot of the Worldsoul Saga will be.

What I particularly like is that while the gears in my head were turning they were turning in Dagran’s head too. All too often we see major NPCs hold tight to the idiot stick when there’s a lore reveal that holds major implications, but it seems at least one major character won’t be dumbfounded when this new tidbit pays off in The Last Titan.

Of course, that’s two expansions and a few years from now, but there may be a quiz in a fortnight so pay attention! While we all sharpen our #2 pencils, let’s answer some questions about the here and now!

If a poem is quoted in a video game, it’s on topic, right? Subnautica: Below Zero wasn’t as in-depth or as completely nerveshattering as the original, but it did have some bright points, including the narrative. In terms of immersion (pun not intended) I really liked how the original’s story was told, but the story itself (and the subtext on the human condition and what makes us human) in BZ hit for me — though of course I appreciate the overarching subtext through the franchise that big corporations are the true predator we should be afraid of.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and cut us a little slack today okay bud?

In this economy?!

While I try and scrape together a hoard, it’s time for — The Queue!

Nope. No dragons here. Definitely not. We’re hard at work digging into the latest Warcraft patch and, uhm…

Right! The Queue!

Let’s answer some questions.

I feel like I don’t know how to Halloween very well. Still, it kind of freaks me out to realize that I have a skeleton inside me waiting to lurch around in stop motion.

Can you believe it’s almost Halloween?

Yeah.

…

I got nothing else to say on this intro, other than the fact that my character is wearing a carrot orange tabard. Let’s do The Queue, because it’s almost Halloween!

I know, my last Queue before Halloween I usually show y’all my costume, but I unfortunately forgot to take a selfie of myself in my Halloween costume. This one on a totally normal day with nothing different from usual will have to do. What do you… no, there’s nothing different, I always wear this silver necklace. Don’t, no, it’s… no, it’s fine. Don’t.

Don’t.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and nothing is different from any other day so of course we’ll provide the answers.

It’s nearly the big day! Next time I see you all it will all be over, and I’ll just have to keep the spirit in my heart as we move into the Christmas festivities.

Until then though, how many people have actually bobbed for apples? I know I never have. I know that it’d be pretty far down on the party games list these days with the pandemic, but even before that, I’ve never bobbed for anything! Is it just a Hollywood construct? Am I too young?

While I get to the bottom of this apple related mystery, it’s time for — The Queue!

Yes, that’s it exactly, we are working, working very hard to accomplish things and definitely not sitting here watching a countdown to the next Dragon Age game. Nope, not me. I am way more responsible than that.

So let’s talk about Warcraft and its many microtransaction-related follies of the past day. This is the Queue.
