The Queue

I don’t know about you guys, but I would play the heck out of a game where you’re an actual wolverine, doing wolverine things like hunting in the snow, killing polar bears with pure stubbornness, and raising their absolutely adorable kiddos in peace.

Frankly, I enjoyed Wolverine better when Laura Kinney was wearing the costume and had an actual pet wolverine.

Let’s just hope that this week, it isn’t back for revenge. Let’s answer some questions while we stumble towards Friday.

It’s time for fall gardening, so I’m getting my broccoli and lettuce starts started, and it always cracks me up that the plant store gets very mad about people taking broken off pieces of houseplants to propagate. It isn’t discouraging it per se — I get it, that’s why they’re there. It’s for sale, so they want you to buy it. But there are a few specific types of plants where they try to tell you it is illegal to do it, even if you purchase the plant and bring it home and then later propagate a new one. Those particular varieties, I steal whenever I can, because heck the man. Tradescantia and varigated pothos? Get out.

It’s officially fall as of today! The best season, for any number of reasons, but mainly because I can wear lots of nice, thick sweaters.

It has nothing to do with my birthday sneaking up on me in less than a month. Nope, not one thing.

Halloween is pretty great too!

While I go and frown at the unseasonably warm temperatures we’re having, it’s time for — The Queue!

Look at this cute baby hyena. Look at it.

This is The Queue, where we spend our vacations looking at animals both cool and cute, and then we talk about them. This is the life!

I vaguely remember what it felt like, but I haven’t experienced it in literal years at this point.

It’s the Queue. I’m so so tired.

I don’t want another Warcraft movie, I just want six seasons (no movie) of Warbringers. That’s not asking for too much, is it? I don’t think it is.

But for now, let’s queue.

If there’s one thing I’m ready for it’s Player Housing. If there’s two things I’m ready for, it’s Player Housing and fall.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and ugh, do we have to answer? It’s still so hot.

Claptrap is one of my top favorite video-game characters of all time. There’s something so endearing about a tiny robot that is so annoying that everybody in the game hates him. He gets just the right amount of annoying traits to earnest desires for friends to rage-filled tirades against the jerks who steal his stuff that it shouldn’t work — but it does! It’s a tough line to walk for any character, and someone this poorly designed, one-wheeled, one-eyed little guy makes it work.

Borderlands 4 has been good fun so far! The team has put together a really solid, fun, looter-shooter that takes the best parts of the previous five games and adds some new stuff to speed up the movement a bit. Summoning your vehicle anywhere with basically no cooldown is a game-changer and really takes the slog out of the early zone once you get it. I also really like how the game’s humor has gotten a bit more focused than the last game. It’s still got jokes galore and funny moments, but I haven’t seen as much pop-culture referencing that popped up in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. There’s nothing specifically wrong with reference humor; it’s just not going to last as long as a well-written joke.

While I go and open like five more giant glowing chests full of weapons, it’s time for — The Queue!

Nothing like coming back from a weeklong road trip and being immediately assigned homework from a fellow Queue writer. I’m not one to back down from a challenge so I’ve spent all week working on my answers. So if this article feels especially Cory-heavy well now you know why.

My trip itself was really fun. Drove through the wilds of Kentucky (stopping at Cumberland Gap and Mammoth Cave NP) and Missouri to get to Kansas City (this just in: BBQ is yummy). Saw some wild bison on the way back which was really awesome. But enough about last week, it’s time to get to my work from this week!
