Yesterday was my birthday and I decided that to celebrate it I was going to do as little as possible. Sometimes that’s all you really want — a day to sit back, spend time with your loved ones (in my case my wife Julian and our cats and dog) and do things like mess around in video games and just exist. It was a nice day.

And now we’re back, answering your questions and listening to Damageplan’s song Save Me, and wishing you all a happy Game Awards day.

Marvel SNAP has a new currency: Collector's Tokens, which will help you collect the cards you want rather than relying on RNG.

I was looking at the nominations for The Game Awards this year and thinking about how good I thought Horizon Forbidden West was, and about how it was released in the same year as God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring so it's probably not going to win.

Happy Wednesday, Queuefolk!

This weekend is actually the start of Big Run in Splatoon 3, and while it’s not the same as a Splatfest, it feels kind of like the Salmon Run equivalent of it, which I’m very excited for. I didn’t really play a whole lot of Salmon Run before this game, but I’ve been loving it so far and (after a small break for other games) am really excited to see if the drop rate on scales is better.

But that’s probably gibberish to most of you, so let’s do what we came here to do: Queue.

This week, we discuss our favorite story moments in the Waking Shores, how it’s setting up the story for the rest of the expansion, and all the major players making an appearance including Wrathion, Sabellian, Alexstrasza, and Raszageth.

Sometimes you can blink and miss something pretty important.

There's a new set of rewards from the Overwatch 2 Season 2 Battle Pass, themed around Greek Mythology.

Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen is now available, bringing the world of Krynn to D&D 5e , a setting with almost four decades of lore and worldbuilding under its belt.

By Dragonflight, all of the titular Dragonflights have an established leader except the Black Dragonflight.

Between the Steam Fall Sale last week, where I finally picked up both Bear and Breakfast and Bugsnax, Dragonflight this week, The Long Dark‘s first DLC releasing yesterday, and Hearthstone‘s March of the Lich King expansion and Overwatch 2‘s second season starting today, there’s so many freaking games on my plate that I’m so excited to sink my teeth into right now. Unfortunately, due to all the real life stuff I have going on, I barely had the chance to scrape the surface of any of them. I feel like the protagonist of that Twilight Zone episode with all the books.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and do you mind if we wait to answer until after we play a round or two?
