The Queue

Where can I find a Fauxhawk like that, I want Karlach’s hair.

Tomorrow sees the release of Slay the Princess — Pristine Cut, an updated version of the game (included for free if you already own it!) that expands the original with both “new” princesses and more fleshed-out paths for other princesses. It will also be releasing on consoles for the first time, now available on Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox. This was my “Game of the Year” for 2023 and I’m super-excited to have a chance to Slay — or Save — the Princess again.

It’s kind of hard to really describe the game without getting into spoilers but if you’re a fan of spooky games that tend to be on the psychological side then Slay the Princess is most likely right up your alley. There are numerous choices you can make that can radically alter the game, and once you finish you’ll want to play it again (and again) to see what other fates there are to experience.

While we spend hours agonizing over whether we should bring the knife down with us to the basement, let’s answer some questions!

I’m still not sure whether I miss old WoW or if I just miss my old guildmates and being 22 with minimal responsibility beyond the tip of my own nose.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and yeah, we’re pretty sure there’s a German word for that feeling.

There’s a chill in the air and the nights are getting longer. Things are ramping up to the spookiest (best) time of the year! The candy bars are getting smaller, the air is getting chillier, the leaves are crunchier, and that strange noise in the night might be a small critter — or it might be a ghost!

While I definitely don’t go investigate that alone, it’s time for — The Queue!

It’s pumpkin season, people. I don’t mean the season of everything being pumpkin flavored (though there is that too), but the gloriously spooky season which the jack-o-lantern has come to symbolize. The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and who knows what’s lurking in the dark.

So let’s cover some questions, and celebrate the season.

I don’t know why I can rewatch the opening cinematic for Diablo 4 and catch new things I love every time. Small things, like the frustrated sigh and startled gasp captions when your character finds their no longer alive horse with its innards outer.

This is the Queue. Torment 1 wasn’t that hard to unlock, but I’m not looking forward to Torment 2.

Life can be complicated at times, but it can also be simple if you just make an effort to take a step back and look at things from an outside perspective.

This is The Queue, your column that’s always here — at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the internet, localized entirely within your browser of choice.

It happened slowly and in fits and starts, but I feel like it might be, at long last, soup season. For me, it’s also baked pasta season just because I don’t feel sweaty just thinking about running the oven, so let’s not be too picky about it. Of course, in about a week I’m going to be sad that summer basil season is then also therefore over, and also very annoyed at having to wear socks constantly for the next few months, but for now can I interest you in some corn chowder?

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’ll give you the answer with some croutons, probably.

It’s the best food day of the year! Turkey! pie! All sorts of side dishes that work with turkey and pie! At least for Canadians. For everyone else, you’ll just have to be jealous of us and our big feasts.

I know that I’ve already had one great Thanksgiving meal after spending the weekend with my favorite person. With another feast tonight! Everything’s coming up Cory!

While I go back for seconds, it’s time for — The Queue!

Today’s Queue is definitely not haunted. I’m going to go into this with positive, definitely not haunted vibes, so there will definitely not be any hauntings. Mhm. Definitely not.

So let’s get to the questions.
