The Queue

Well, more like “seven patches to Midnight,” according to the recently-revealed roadmap for World of Warcraft in 2025. Did you see that?

In fact, did you see that there was a big Warcraft event a few days ago? Crazy, huh?! We sure got a ton of new info about the whole franchise, from WoW (retail and Classic) to Hearthstone, Rumble, and even some RTS remasters! Which means that there are a lot of questions asked and answers given pertaining to all of those things.

Player housing! Woo!!!

Without further ado, let’s Queue.

So, thanks to the generosity of a person who I will not name here for privacy’s sake, I am getting to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard and I have a lot of opinions.

What a week, am I right?

I am mostly playing Dragon Age right now, in which I made a choice that sent me into the darkest timeline, but it’s fine, completely okay, I am not having an emotional breakdown and I will attempt to answer your questions about Blizzard now. This is the Queue, and let’s go.

I know I talk a lot about indies as of late, but there are few games with as impeccable fall vibes as A Short Hike. It’s very cozy and not particularly long, but it’s a very soothing sort of play session. I really recommend it.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll answer while we have a little walk outside, the chill as just crisp on our cheeks as the leaves crunching underfoot. Make sure you wear a jacket!

Sometimes Queues are short y’know?

Not all of them, but some of them.

While I go looking for a longer Queue, it’s time for — The (Short) Queue.

Really, weren’t we just here? Huh. I guess we’re back. Let’s 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!
