The Queue

Hello and happy final Wednesday of 2022, Queuefolk!

This is a slow (but not stopped) week of work — which is good since I still need to figure out my New Year’s plans. That may just include staying home and watching Midsommar, but I’d still love to have plans in place one way or another. In any case, that’s New Year’s, which is a few days away. Right now it’s Wednesday.

And Wednesday is The Queue.

It’s the third day of Christmas, and honestly, what am I going to do with all these French chickens?

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we– what do you mean there are more of them coming?

Is it a day for boxing? For putting things in boxes? For taking things out of boxes? For thinking outside of the box? Who knows anymore, I just know there’s good deals on things at stores and it’s actually not too cold here anymore.

While I only put on two extra layers to go outside, it’s time for — The Queue!

I regret to inform you that as of the time of this writing, Mythic Raszageth has not died… but she is wearing a Santa hat and carrying a candy cane. So let’s go on and celebrate this strange season with our new festive dinobird frenemy… and maybe get a world first second kill so we can get our own stylish Santa hat and candy cane transmog.

But while we wait, we can hang out and talk about dragons, because in Dragonflight it’s all about the dragons. Let’s Queue.

So I’m kind of watching Superfuse, an upcoming ARPG that kind of feels like a fusion of Strikeforce: Morituri, Bioshock and Diablo 2, and so far I’m pretty interested in the game. It’s got a kind of dystopia with superpowers feel and you can customize your character’s powers with things called fuses that drop as you mow your way through waves of enemies which is somewhat reminiscent of plasmids, but the gameplay is very much an over the top ARPG gorefest that reminds me of games like Darksiders Genesis or the various Warhammer games.

It’s coming to early access in January and I’ll be trying to get in so I’ll report back to y’all when I get a chance to play it. The videos I’ve watched about it so far seem promising, but I always prefer to get to play a game first before I gush too hard about it.

Anyway, that’s something I though some of you — the Diablo liking folks — might find interesting. Now, let’s do that thing where we chat about stuff.

Yes, folks, it’s that time of year — the time of year when we get our most site traffic ever, as confused and windowless souls seek an answer to, “blizard watch right now?”

…Okay, that may not be entirely true, but it IS the fun time of year when our site name becomes a little more confusing for the world. But that’s neither here nor there. What IS here and there is this:

The Queue.

Rutherford said it would be irresponsible to just sneak out the back when it’s our Queue day, and I see where he’s coming from, but since he can’t really operate a keyboard and Siri’s speech to text doesn’t understand bear, that means he gets to frolic in the snow while I do this.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we answer, but we just want to let you know that it’s kind of a drag on a day like today. I’m just saying.

Can you believe that it’s almost Christmas?

I can’t — there’s still so much to do! I’m going to need about another week easily.

While I talk to someone to see about getting the calendar extended, it’s time for — The Queue.

It’s Friday, the race for world first is going (slowly), and the community figured out how to get Quackers the Terrible to spawn so I was able to snap a S.E.L.F.I.E. and earn the “Birdwatcher” title. Having thus completed my one goal for the Dragonflight expansion, it’s time to log out of the game, uninstall it, and answer some questions while my PC reclaims disk space.

Yep, that’s me, doing Mythic Tomb of Sargeras for transmog. Don’t worry, not a single piece of plate dropped the whole run. I still liked that screenshot, so there it is. The Kil’Jaedan fight is still a pain but I eventually got lucky with it. He didn’t drop any loot I needed, I just wanted to kick his face in.

Gotta get more of my characters to 70. Need a farming corps for this one.
