The Queue

I am extremely grumpy today, mostly because I’ve come down with my third communicable illness since the start of the year. I got all my seasonal shots and take vitamins and exercise and eat right, but that won’t stop germs, I guess.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll pop your balloon.

Even World of Warcraft got in on the fun last night from the Super Bowl!

Although at this point I have no idea what is happening in the original moment and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. So until then, I guess I’m just wondering what everyone’s yelling about!

Is it lamp?

While I try and get to the bottom of this, it’s time for — The Queue!

What could possibly be in patch 10.2.6? I’m pretty sure I know.

We are one step closer to a future where hyperactive AI wearing corporations like armor suits do battle through global media consumption. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if I live to see us in tanks with wires directly into our brains playing this game Disney and Epic are going to make.

It’s the Queue. I’m terrified of the future.

The game is Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, releasing in 22 days for the PS5 (and a few months later for other platforms). There was a Sony State of Play showcasing it last night and… aggghhhh. I’m beyond sold. I can’t wait. I absolutely cannot wait.

But since I have to wait, let’s do this Queue thing in which I use pictures to try to sell it to others as well.

There are few hooks that hook me harder than survival gameplay and cars. I can’t even begin to explain why, because I don’t know.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll answer as long as you get in first — and know how to use a wrench.

This is an excellent owl model. I’m very glad that I get to spend some of the time flying around looking pretty similar to it. Even if I’ll likely never get the actual fire form unlocked unless I get very lucky in a future expansion.

Maybe excellent isn’t the right word for it. I’m sure that there’s another word for this owl that is similar to excellent, but maybe starts with an s.

While I ponder that, it’s time for — The Queue!

Another day, another week, another Queue. Let’s chat!

Guys, I hate Astarion.

Like, I hate everything about Astarion except for the nice person who provides his voice and seems quite nice in interviews. That’s Neil Newbon, and I have absolutely nothing against him.

I’m not one to put in a C-C-C-Combo Breaker when it comes to The Princess Bride, but I’m also not averse to doing a redirect either. So while the title is a quote from that amazing movie, the header image is of someone who would definitely want a peanut: Anya from Spy x Family. If you haven’t seen the show or read the manga yet I highly recommend it as it’s clever and adorable. There’s even a game coming to the West later this year, although I’m concerned it won’t be dubbed (fingers crossed it will be).

Speaking of games coming out, Persona 3 Reload is out on Friday! I’ve been heavily addicted to the Persona series this past year so it’ll be nice to have a new group of virtual friends to hunt shadows with. While I impatiently wait for my next obsession, let’s answer some questions!
