The Queue: 362 days until Halloween
Halloween may be over for the year, but next year’s is just a few hundred days away; that’s practically nothing! Before we know it, we’ll be getting our fill of fun-sized candy and pumpkin-flavored things. It’s almost not worth mentioning any other holidays between now and then.
Plus, you can always honor Halloween in your heart and try to keep it all the year. I read something similar to that sentiment in a book once… and I’ve seen it in a surprising number of movies.
Like too many movies, and somehow there are going to be two more versions soon?! Forget the war on Christmas, I wanna join up on the war on The Christmas Carol.
While I go and look for more discount Halloween candy, it’s time for — The Queue!

Want to scare yourself with a game on Halloween? We have a few offbeat suggestions.
The Queue: Faster than a speeding food bowl!
More powerful than a post-walk treat! Can leap on to tall beds with assistance — it’s Marshmallow! If you can’t tell his Halloween costume this year is Krypto, the hero of this summer’s Superman film! … he’s not fond of costumes, hence the dour expression. Still, he looks awesome! And would totally attack Lex if needed.
While we ensure there is no kryptonite squirreled away in our house and steal candy out of the bowl by the front door, let’s answer some questions!

The Queue: I can’t resist game sales
Sometimes I get smug because I don’t have a ton of unplayed games on Steam, because I can be thoughtlessly hypocritical. So now I’m suffering for my thoughtlessness, as GOG had a big sale on games which meant that I could pick up Neverwinter Nights and a ton of DLC for it for under $10 Canadian.
Did I need to buy it? No. I’m not even playing it — The Outer Worlds 2 is out on Game Pass, and I have to justify that $30 price tag. But getting the entire Enhanced Edition for ten bucks? Even though I’ve got like 37 games I don’t play and in fact don’t even have installed, it felt impossible to pass it up.
Yeah, I know. I’m a sucker.
