Y’all wanted an earworm? Y’all got an earworm.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we don’t care bout anything but youuu~

Join us this week as we explore the key elven NPCs in the WoW patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream campaign, the possible plans of the First Ones to prevent the universe from being devoured, and the tinfoil hat theory that the leaders of each the four Shadowlands’ factions are actually Titan constructs.

To this day, I think about the ending cinematic in Diablo.

Okay, yes, World of Warcraft patch 10.2.5 is exciting or whatever, but guys.

With exactly a week before launch, we have the first details for Diablo 4 Season 3: Season of the Construct (aka the Season of the Orange Text).

I very rarely follow a Cory queue, so I don’t often get an earworm. I did switch with Anna this week — but I’m still not following a Cory queue because the divine Liz P was up yesterday. Fortunately(?) she replicated Cory’s earworm formula and so I’ll be writing this queue by a crystal blue Italian stream. Unfortunately the weather forecast is:

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Oh wait, that’s a different Bangles song. Fun facts: Manic Monday was written by Prince, and A Hazy Shade of Winter was originally a Paul Simon song performed by Simon & Garfunkel. If I had to pick just one Bangles song, though, it would be In Your Room which while a top 5 at the time is largely ignored now. Probably because Walk Like an Egyptian is just as iconic of the band as Manic Monday so those two get all the airtime.

Long story short, they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside the Go-Go’s and Pat Benatar. Hopefully they’ll be 2024 nominees.

Anyway, while I clearly have an eternal flame for the Bangles, let’s actually answer some questions!

Last year, the biggest story in tabletop RPGs was Wizards of the Coast's proposed changes to the Open Gaming License, in which they planned to revoke a long-standing license allowing people to make their own Dungeons and Dragons content.

World of Warcraft's next patch, patch 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal, launches today, on January 16.

Dragonflight patch 10.2.5 arrives this week and while it does not herald a new raid tier or Season there's a lot of new activities coming for players with the new patch.

It's the start of a new era for Diablo 3: with Season 30 and beyond, the game will have no new Seasonal themes but instead remix past themes for new experiences.
