We now return you to your regularly scheduled writer for the Queue.

No more weird out-of-place writers, writers who were supposed to be there not showing up, or writers who are alternate-universe versions of themselves.

Nope, just the person that’s supposed to be where they are when they are.

At least for today.

Now before I go play in the open portal to all of time and space, it’s time for — The Queue.

The odds are good that if you're playing Diablo 4's Season 1 content, after you skip or complete the campaign you'll find yourself diving into the Malignant Tunnels in search of Malignant Hearts -- while none of them will make or break a build quite like legendary aspects, they provide varied and powerful effects.

The Season of the Malignant is well underway in Diablo 4, and with lots of folks trying out new classes -- as well as the much-discussed Patch 1.1.0 hitting right beforehand -- it seems like a fine time to ask: How the season is treating you?

Happy Friday, Watchers!

One of the most interesting new features in Diablo 4 is Strongholds, areas overrun with enemies that you can conquer to discover new dungeons, towns, waypoints or just areas slightly less overrun with monsters.

I mean I am definitely here, but this feels early… And if I’m here, where’s Liz?

These time streams are all sorts of messed up!

While I try to sort that out, it’s time for — The Queue!

Join us as we discuss how WoW’s faction conflict could be replaced with more interesting, less divisive storytelling mechanics, the WoW lore contribution of the new Hearthstone Titans expansion coming out in August, and our impressions of Diablo 4’s Season 1.

You may not think much about using emotes in a video game, but they play a surprisingly big role in Diablo 4.

World of Warcraft's latest patch, 10.1.5, followed a tradition now dating back to Legion by introducing a "mega-dungeon" to the game.

Just listening to music and writing the Queue, y’all. How’re you all doing?
