The Queue

I’m not overly interested in Plunderstorm, but I can’t lie: Pepe makes a really cute pirate. Will that get me to play more Plunderstorm? Eeeehhhhhh….

I like ninjas, I’ve written about that before. Ninjas that set fans on fire before tossing them on fools (and look great while doing it)? Sign me the heck up!

This is The Queue, your daily column for good boys and girls to ask questions, and have other boys and girls of compatible morality answer them. Let’s rock!

January is the cruelest month, at least for those of us who follow gaming. Relatively few titles get released as many studios made sure to get them out before Christmas or are waiting until February and there also tends not to be many events where news could happen.

This year may be a huge exception though. Microsoft announced there will be an Xbox Direct next Thursday showcasing South of Midnight, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and DOOM: The Dark Ages — and a secret fourth title rumored to be from a “legendary” Japanese IP with decades of history. The rumor mill is in full swing over what this title might be with guesses ranging from Persona 6 to a new Final Fantasy title to even a new entry in the Ecco the Dolphin series.

The even bigger rumor that’s resounding throughout gamingdom is that we’ll finally be getting the Switch 2 announcement tomorrow. As of this moment there is no confirmation, but the report is credible and major outlets are treating it as highly likely. By this time on Friday we may be have all the details on Nintendo’s next generation console.

While we patiently look forward to jubilation or disappointment, let’s answer some questions!

Don’t ask me man, I’m just here for the coffee.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we, like always, provide the answers.

I’ve had a chest cold for the last few days and boy let me tell you, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be! I’m sniffly and coughy and have taken so very many Halls cough drops that I feel more menthol than man.

But things are on the upswing I think, and I’m sure by this time next week I’ll be feeling better! Or I’ll be dead. One of the two surely.

While I go find more medicine, it’s time for — The Queue!

Not as confusing as Thursdays, but still pretty confusing.

This is the Queue. Let’s chat.

Playing Tyranny again, because it’s really one of my favorite CRPG’s and in the wake of Baldur’s Gate 3 and other popular CRPG’s like Wrath of the Righteous and Rogue Trader that allow you to play a morally questionable character Tyranny really lets you do that.

Taken from us way too soon. My hunter kneels before the body of her beloved bird and sobs uncontrollably, for forces unseen have just murdered him. His name was Pick. He was eleven years old, almost twelve.

But alas, the powers-that-be have decided that she can never be with him again. Unless, that is, she’s willing to give up the way of the marksman — which has been her craft for her whole life as an adventurer, part of her very identity — and find a new, completely different way of life, either mastering all the beasts — not just her Pick! — or surrendering her Dark Iron Rifle and taking up the spear, something which she has never done before.

Hi, this is The Queue. Can’t wait for patch 11.1!

I don’t usually ask for Queue questions, because every time I do, though of course my perspective is valued on certain topics, I end up feeling slightly personally attacked. Maybe that’s a consequence of being known — especially by my Steam wishlist.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us very specific, leading questions, and we answer and then talk to our therapist about it.

I don’t know about y’all but I’m going to the waterpark today! In fact, when this Queue goes live I’ll be on my way! It may be kinda chilly outside, but I’ll be in the nice warm pool staying toasty.

I’ll ride a slide for you.

While I get ready to relax in a hot tub, it’s time for — The Queue!
