The Queue: Would you rather?

As gamers, we’re no strangers to someone or something asking you the question — would you rather? Would you rather have that power up or this one? Would you rather save Ashley or Kaiden? Would you rather take the hard route or the ultra-nightmare route?

All of this has been on my mind since I found this little tin of pre-written questions at a bookstore event today. It’s just 50 little cards, and there have been some tough ones and not-so-tough ones. Unsurprisingly, my girlfriend, a proud owner of a big St. Bernard, would rather find herself in a room full of giant puppies instead of kittens. Being able to only read the first or last page of every book was a bit of a tougher one, though — I went with the first page, you can build out so much more of a story from there!

Would you rather read the Queue, or take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed, and believe whatever you want to believe.

I mean, I know if you’ve come this far, what the likely answer is — let’s Queue!


Le Queue: The baguettes are okay

For the past few weeks I’ve been playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and after a rough beginning where I thought I wasn’t gonna adapt to the combat system, things finally clicked as soon as I started Act 2 of the game, and I’m loving it as much as a Frenchman loves debating existentialism over some coffee and a cigarette.

It’s such a French game, mon vieux.

That outfit on the header picture is literally called “Baguette,” and it’s the first one you find in the game. It’s almost like the devs were completely aware that the internet was gonna make memes with the fact that this is a French game set on a very France-inspired place, and decided to just rip the bandaid off and get on with more important things.

Either way, this is Le Queue and we’re on a mission to answer questions and eat baguettes — and we’re all out of baguettes. Because the characters in that game took them all and strapped them to their backs for some reason. Iunno, maybe they think they’ll get hungry later.
