The Queue: I’ll get the truth for you tonight

Anyone around here like Therapy? — the band, not the psychological treatment. I mean, good on you if you like that one, but I was talking about the band. They’re one of my favorites, and I recommend you check them out.
Nothing to do with The Queue, just a band I like.
Anyway, your questions, I try and answer. Spoiler alert for Legion.

The Queue: In which I rant about maps
by Elizabeth Harper on December 10, 2015 at 11:00am
When I first started playing games, the major in-game maps as we know them now just didn’t exist. If there were maps at all, they were likely to be physical things that came in a game box, vaguely describing the game world in paper or (for fancier games) cloth. So how did I find my way around? I made my own maps with graph paper and as-neat-as-I-could-manage handwriting. How old-school is that?
I still have, tucked away in my desk, whole notebooks of game maps, particularly MUDs for which the graph paper method worked particularly well. Perhaps I’m spoiled these days, though, because not only do I expect maps in the games themselves, I expect good maps… and WoW‘s just don’t meet my expectations. But whether you care about maps or not, read on for answers to your questions.
