The Queue: The Curse
by Anna Bell on February 4, 2025 at 12:00pm @liopleurodonic
Any community that’s been around as long as we have will have some degree of associated lore. Some of it is tidbits about the people themselves — how Cory loves the muppets, or how Mitch is Mitch. But there are some aspects that are a little more intangible. One of those is broadly classed as The Site Curse. This usually manifests in having the Queue break in weird technical ways, but is also associated in some way with the people, and how news just seem to always happen when we’re all indisposed in some way. For instance, I planned a trip to London thinking I was safe, and oops, those are the same dates Diablo 4 dropped their first expansion. Sorry! I’ll try to be less cursed next time.
This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions, and we’ll hopefully supply some answers, assuming the column saves properly.

It’s hard to believe, but Blizzard Watch turns ten years old — this very day!
That’s like at least three Warcraft expansions, maybe even four!
Along the way, we’ve been to BlizzCon, covered games developed by Blizzard, and branched out into other spheres and mediums. I think it’s likely that we’ve had millions of words added into our little slice of the gaming and nerd worlds, and almost twenty thousand articles (if the number I’m looking at in the back end is right). We’ve seen faces come and go, and friends come and go, even the owners have changed! But along the way, we’ve always stuck close to our principles of covering the things in the gaming and geek spheres that we’ve been passionate about.
So I’d like to propose a toast, of whatever your favorite beverage of choice is — here’s to all of you fine folks reading this who’ve contributed to making this a great place to be nerdy together. We wouldn’t be here without you, and I know I’m speaking for all of the other writers here and that we’re very thankful you are.
So without further ado, day one of the next ten years! Let’s Queue!
