In the past two months alone, we've been spoiled by three high-quality, long-awaited entries in decades-old video game series — first Tears of the Kingdom, then Diablo 4, and most recently, Final Fantasy 16.

It’s nice to have a skeleton army, a nice protective cordon of spirit and bone surrounding you and protecting you from the dangers of the world. That’s basically what necromancy is all about: raising the dead to be your friends and also sometimes guarding you from giant snakes.

Let’s do this, Queue.

Join us as we discuss which NPC races we’d like to see playable in WoW,  our thoughts on Hearthstone’s new Twist game mode, and if the big jump between difficulty levels in Diablo 4 could benefit from additional levels added in between.

The upcoming Season 6, called Invasion, is going to introduce a series of story missions to Overwatch 2 which follows up on the narrative threads introduced in the painfully excellent Zero Hour trailer we first saw at 2019's BlizzCon.

Let’s start this by stating that I don’t want to die.

Hearthstone is getting a new constructed mode called "Twist," which replaces Classic.

I am ludicrously excited for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and not just because Idris Elba is playing a character in it. It’s a complete revamp of the entire game — highly expanded vehicle combat, more varied interactions with the Police (in other words, you can get them mad at you) and a revamped cyberwear system that allows for Cyberpsychosis if your V indulges too much in extreme cyber-modification.  Clothes are now just clothes, with  no armor or stats, which means you can wear anything you want without worrying that it doesn’t give the proper stats.

I’ve been in love with Cyberpunk 2077 ever since Joe Perez convinced me I should give it a shot, so this is all very exciting to me. Anyway, at least I’m still capable of thinking about games other than — well, you know. It’s the Queue, let’s chat about stuff.

Outside of playing video games, my main hobbies would be board gaming, cross stitching, and reading.  You would think that needlecraft and reading would have been ideal stay-at-home hobbies — and superficially they are — except that I almost entirely lost the ability to focus for the length of time required to enjoy either.

June is here and that means it's almost time for summer vacations and weekends at the beach, so you may not have as much time to play World of Warcraft if you want any of the current batch of rewards from Dragonflight‘s favorite new feature the Trading Post.

Hello and happy Wednesday, Queuemans! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and continue to have an enjoyable week. I took a mini-vacation full of choices equally great and terrible, capped off with a combination Pierce the Veil/The Used concert. It was rad.

And if you’re not having a good week? Maybe I have something that will help:
