The Queue: A Question of Taste

I feel a little bad for Cory. He always tries so hard with his earworms to choose something that’s both catchy, and that I would like, but my daughter has been listening to one Hatsune Miku song on a loop for the past two weeks, so his stellar choices are absolutely not breaking through.

Actually, on second thought, I mostly feel bad for myself.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions, and we’ll answer. I apologize in advance if I accidently start typing out lyrics in the middle.


The Queue: Heroes of the Storm

In case you missed it, last week Blizzard finally confirmed that Heroes of the Storm would be entering maintenance mode. No new content would be created for it, and the only updates going forward would be to squash any technical issues.

This isn’t exactly shocking, Heroes had been on life support for a long time ever since the cancellation of the official esports scene. The latest hero they released was Hogger, and he came out nearly two years ago! Still, it’s a blow for the dedicated fans of the game.

I don’t know what it was about Heroes that really set it apart for me from all of the other Blizzard games. Maybe it was that I had moments of halfway competent play in it, maybe the smaller community always made it feel like an underdog to root for — maybe it was just that I really love Blizzard’s characters and seeing them get to interact with each other and try on each other’s universes for a moment was just really fun. Whatever the reason, I’m pretty bummed that there won’t be more — it was and will continue to be my absolute favorite Blizzard game.

That won’t stop me from still logging in and playing games though.

As long as Blizzard keeps those servers going I’ll still see you in the Nexus.

While I queue for another ARAM match, it’s time for — The Queue.
