The Queue

Liz, it’s Friday. But I’ve got to say, it’s been such a week that it doesn’t feel like Friday. But what is there to do but carry on? Liquid is finally doing Mythic pulls, Chef Heidi is posting dog pictures, and things are probably as good as they’re going to be. Let’s rock.

Look, I’m terrible at pretending things are good when they’re not.

Sometimes life boops you off the edge of the map, and there’s nothing you can do. Other times it rains justice from above or drops the hammer down on you, and you’re not able to escape unscathed, but you do escape — and in those situations, it’s fair that you cry out that you need healing.

This is The Queue. I need healing, but the match ain’t over ’til the payload is delivered!

I’ve been playing a lot of the Mystery Heroes mode of Overwatch 2 lately to unwind, and man has it made for a whole lot of wackiness. There is no other explanation.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we are somehow supposed to come up with a clutch answer, we guess.

Finally, after many nice days in the California air conditioning, I have returned home to the great Frozen North. Luckily it wasn’t actually that cold when I landed because all I had was a hoody to keep myself warm.

Unfortunately, now I have to back to the day job and can’t spend my time being super excited about upcoming Blizzard products and Korean BBQ.

While I try and remember what my day job is, it’s time for — The Queue.

I thought it felt pretty quiet. I didn’t miss anything, did I?

Just a little Celldweller this morning.

Well the patch 10.2 maintenance finally ended so we’re all having fun in the Emerald Dream now I reckon. The one thing I dislike is the faction name “Dream Warden”. I get it, it’s supposed to sound like you’re guarding the Dream, but “Warden” always feels like to me you’re keeping bad stuff in as a jailor, not preventing things from getting inside. Dream Warriors would’ve been a better name, and not just because it’s the theme song to a horror movie.

I’m Kalcheus, and Mitch is still not available to answer questions so I’ll do it! Let’s go.

There is a point every BlizzCon where my brain has devolved into a useless mass of half-wrinkled goo. At that point, everything seems funny, everything is enraging, everything seems like simultaneously a good and bad idea. Brings me back to college, really.

It was at this time when I encountered this photo of a single tiny cactus in the Hearthstone area from our Away Team member Joe Collins. I don’t know why this cactus is such a vibe — so lonely, so precious, so special, so charming — but it is the best thing to come out of BlizzCon 2023, and I will protect it with my life. It is so stupid. I love it so much.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we’re… not promising anything at this point.

What a BlizzCon! I saw legends in action and got my socks blown off by all of the big World of Warcraft announcements! Which is probably for the best because after all of the walking I did that weekend my socks were getting a little holy…

While I see if Diablo 4 wants to use my socks to help keep Lilith at bay, it’s time for — The Queue!
