The Queue

More powerful than a post-walk treat! Can leap on to tall beds with assistance — it’s Marshmallow! If you can’t tell his Halloween costume this year is Krypto, the hero of this summer’s Superman film! … he’s not fond of costumes, hence the dour expression. Still, he looks awesome! And would totally attack Lex if needed.

While we ensure there is no kryptonite squirreled away in our house and steal candy out of the bowl by the front door, let’s answer some questions!

Sometimes I get smug because I don’t have a ton of unplayed games on Steam, because I can be thoughtlessly hypocritical. So now I’m suffering for my thoughtlessness, as GOG had a big sale on games which meant that I could pick up Neverwinter Nights and a ton of DLC for it for under $10 Canadian.

Did I need to buy it? No. I’m not even playing it — The Outer Worlds 2 is out on Game Pass, and I have to justify that $30 price tag. But getting the entire Enhanced Edition for ten bucks? Even though I’ve got like 37 games I don’t play and in fact don’t even have installed, it felt impossible to pass it up.

Yeah, I know. I’m a sucker.

But you can’t nap while waiting in the queue, because you might miss it. So let’s get to the questions… we can take the perfect cat nap later.

It is almost Halloween and as such, I am in disguise. I am pretending to be a responsible adult and parent when really all I want to do is play video games. Alas.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we are responsible and answer in a timely fashion instead of playing the new Pacific Drive DLC.

(dang it).

It’s only a few sleeps until Halloween!

It should always be on a Friday, it seems more fun that way. At the very least, it should always have a day off after it. Give everyone the chance to recover from the sugar crash. Who do I have to bribe to make that happen? I’ll do it, I’ll sacrifice some of my candy if that’s what it takes.

While I figure out the best mini chocolate bar to bribe someone with, it’s time for — The Queue!

My draenei warlock’s Succubus is just looking at her nails, not a care in the world. In her lane. Unbothered. Moisturized. Flourishing.

“Who cares about this ‘phase shift’ master has sent me through? I’m a demon; I’m used to being flung over the Twisting Nether and beyond, this is no different.

*yawns* maybe I could try that new Voidablack™ nail polish next time. How much does Xal pay those Void creatures to get her feet done?”

Just some games that released or are releasing this month:

• Ghost of Yotei
• Pokemon Legends: Z-A
• Ninja Gaiden 4
• PowerWash Simulator 2
• Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2
• Dispatch
• The Outer Worlds 2

Not all of these games are my style, but at least four of them are. I am currently trying to figure out a way to sell my blood or organs so I can afford them. I doubt I’ll find any, so I’m sad. But I probably should hold on to my organs, I suppose.

I feel like neighborhoods in World of Warcraft have a lot of great plots that I would love to have a house on… but some are maybe greater than others. Do you want a smuggler’s cave just below your property? It’s a feature for some, and a detriment to others.

But there’s a perfect house for everybody somewhere.

My two kids are each others’ polar opposites in everything, and it’s particularly obvious at Halloween. My son is ready for anything, an extrovert with a sunny disposition. He wants to be a train conductor for the seventh year in a row — he’s 10 — and go trick or treating. My daughter is an introvert with the temperament of a black cat, and wants to dress up as a particular specific character from a Roblox subgame, but not go trick or treating, because it’s cringe.

This is The Queue, our weekly column where you ask us questions and we give you the answers and then go out of office to see if we can find white foundation and black fingerless gloves, we guess?

It was my birthday! I’m another year older and maybe wiser… maybe. Let’s not be hasty.

It was a great weekend of fun times with my favoritest person ever. I still have another day off, and I’m going to enjoy it by *checks notes* voting in my city election and running a car-related errand? Is that right? Dang, being older is lame. At least I have cake!

While I eat another piece of my delcious peanut butter cake, it’s time for — The Queue!
