The Queue

After a month away for patch 10.2.7, Season 4 and ReMists I finally got back to playing and finishing Tales of Kenzera: ZAU and let me tell you this game was so good my friends. While it is your standard “metroidvania” game, the graphics and music were amazingly well-done. The gameplay wasn’t revolutionary for the genre but it still managed to add some twists to the standard formula, and some of the environmental puzzles were hard. This was clearly a labor of love for the dev team and while there’s more than a half a year to go it’s sitting at the top of my Game of the Year list. If you like metroidvanias at all you should definitely pick it up — the price is pretty low too, only $15-20 depending on platform.

While I ponder which mask to wear when fighting my enemies and escaping lava, let’s answer some questions!

There has been a whole lot of discussion about Alleria and her role in The War Within, within the context of the new trailer especially. But one thing that I haven’t seen anyone talking about yet is her haircut, specifically that it is somewhat reminiscent of the post-breakup cut many women turn to as a way to change things in a safe way. What I’m really getting at is — do y’all think I might have a shot with Turalyon now? Come on, she has bangs now. The evidence is there!

This is The Queue, the daily column where you ask us questions, you know, just for a friend, it’s fine, you’re not really serious or anything, haha, but maybe…?

Bawk bawk bok! Cluck, bok — cluck!

Ba-gawk!!

Buc cluck bawk bawk, cluck bakok buk — bak bawk!

Have we finished the week? Have we escaped? Are we finally free??

I guess I’ll see what the calendar says tomorrow, but for now, let’s Queue.

I ate all the rest, and now I gotta eat you.

It’s the Queue. I lost my soul when I fell to Earth, and my planets call me to the void of my birth.

It’s a good quality for any Death Knight candidate to have, really. I get why Bolvar saw it in her!

I feel like I’ve honed my skills at avoiding obvious bait on the internet. I don’t participate in memes designed to weasel out security questions. I don’t respond when people ask about the best music or movie or book in this genre or that decade, especially if the question is phrased in a way that ignores whole demographics. But there’s something about the Patient Scout I just cannot resist. Sure, the last dozen times I grabbed him, he gave me absolute garbage for a build I’m not even trying to pursue, but maybe this time…

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we will, if nothing else, optimistically assure you we’ll give you some kind of answer (of questionable validity or thoroughness, but optimistic).

Once again we’ve come to another holiday — at least if you live in the States. For Canucks like myself it’s just another Monday. Although last week we had a holiday and y’all didn’t, so I guess we’re even.

I will miss the ability to sleep in though.

While I try and get a few more minutes of sleep, it’s time for — The Queue!

How are we supposed to accomplish all of our gaming goals in a scant 24 hours a day? When some of those hours must be sacrificed for working, sleeping, eating, and so on?

I haven’t figured it out yet, but I hope one of you has found the answer and will let me know.

But for now, let’s Queue.

Yeah, last week was not great.
