The Queue

Can you believe it’s almost Halloween?

Yeah.

…

I got nothing else to say on this intro, other than the fact that my character is wearing a carrot orange tabard. Let’s do The Queue, because it’s almost Halloween!

I know, my last Queue before Halloween I usually show y’all my costume, but I unfortunately forgot to take a selfie of myself in my Halloween costume. This one on a totally normal day with nothing different from usual will have to do. What do you… no, there’s nothing different, I always wear this silver necklace. Don’t, no, it’s… no, it’s fine. Don’t.

Don’t.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and nothing is different from any other day so of course we’ll provide the answers.

It’s nearly the big day! Next time I see you all it will all be over, and I’ll just have to keep the spirit in my heart as we move into the Christmas festivities.

Until then though, how many people have actually bobbed for apples? I know I never have. I know that it’d be pretty far down on the party games list these days with the pandemic, but even before that, I’ve never bobbed for anything! Is it just a Hollywood construct? Am I too young?

While I get to the bottom of this apple related mystery, it’s time for — The Queue!

Yes, that’s it exactly, we are working, working very hard to accomplish things and definitely not sitting here watching a countdown to the next Dragon Age game. Nope, not me. I am way more responsible than that.

So let’s talk about Warcraft and its many microtransaction-related follies of the past day. This is 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.
