The Queue

It’s just another day (another daily) at the office, unfortunately. But instead of being doom and gloom about today’s responsibilities, let’s talk video games. Let’s Queue.

So far I’ve tried Arms and Fury out, and I think Colossus is the best spec for Arms and Mountain Thane is by far my preferred Fury Hero spec. Slayer just hasn’t been fun. But that’s just my opinion.

It’s the Queue. Let’s get ourselves in a state of emotional agitation.

Yesterday’s Nintendo Indie and Partner Directs were full of a lot of cool announcements, but the one I’m most pumped for is Coffee Talk Tokyo. Coming out on Steam as well as on Switch, XBox and Playstation 5, the third entry in one of my favorite indie series is heading overseas to a café in Tokyo to make drinks, talk to the locals, and maybe change someone’s fate if you get an ingredient wrong. It’s a charming and wholesome series and it’ll be a day one purchase for me.

That said, I am concerned that this may be the second sequel in a row where Freya — my absolute favorite character — will be largely or completely absent. Hopefully she finds her way to Japan for this entry but I’m guessing we’ll need to cross our fingers that the new characters can match her presence.

While I try to remember the ingredients for the STMJ let’s answer some questions! I hear there may be exciting stuff happening in World of Warcraft this week? Let’s find out together!

Once again, Cory earworms me even though I’m not even familiar with the song he chose for me. I have my own personal musical idiolect, and it’s not as quirky or as serious as you might want it to be.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions, and whoa-oh, I’ve had it up to here.

Rawr!

Still a bear over here. Amazingly that hasn’t changed in the few days since we last saw each other. Look if Warcraft wanted me to be something else than they shouldn’t have made bear an option. Laying waste to my enemies with the raw power of 600 pounds of bear fury just is so much better than any of the other options. Warlocks and Hunters don’t even do most of their own fighting! They’re just delivery vectors for their pets.

Bear wins!

While I put another best class trophy up on my mantle, it’s time for — The Queue!

Rawr!

It’s almost a little rude Liz, bears say other things than rar and rawr. Like Fozzie, he tells jokes!

For example, what do you call a cow that just gave birth?

Decalfinnated!

While I give you a moment to recover from your side-splitting laughter, it’s time for — The Queue!

I have really enjoyed playing through the Dragon Isles, but I’m ready for something new. So it’s fortunate that it’s time to head to Khaz Algar and (maybe) forget about dragons for a little while. They’re great, but we’ve been mainlining dragon-themed content for two years, and a break will be nice.

So let’s talk about early access, what we’re playing, and just how launch day will (hopefully) go.

There’s a lot going on in the gaming world. ReMists just ended, a new Hearthstone Battlegrounds season just began, there’s a new Diablo 4 season underway, and we also have Gamescom to keep up with. Whew! But despite all of that, I can feel the excitement in the community regarding the proximity to The War Within. And the questions today completely reflect that.

It’s a good time to be a gamer, so let’s not waste much more time; it’s time to Queue.

You know how sometimes there’s so much going on and it’s kind of overwhelming because there’s just so much that you kinda wind up needing to lie down even though it just makes everything worse? Yeah, that. And then, gamescom or whatever.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and it’s just one more bullet point in our to-do list so let’s start the pomodoro timer. And don’t let me forget I need to exchange this bathing suit top that didn’t fit.

Yes! It is me! Cory! Uhm… how does Cory start these… I am a bear! Rar! … Do bears even say rar? Maybe it’s more of a rawr? Well, guys, I’m doing my best here.

Let’s get to Queuing.
