The Queue: Twenty Twenty-Queue
Even though I definitely planned this, it’s cool to wind up with two end-of-the-year Queues in a row. There’s a small bit of irony here, given my first answer to last year’s EOY Queue, but hey. Also, yes, once again, I am writing this with like 30 minutes before it goes live.
So, one final time for 2021… let’s Queue this.
Blizzard Watch Podcast 352: 2021 year in review
This week we look back at the major stories we covered in 2021 on the podcast from the Activision Blizzard lawsuit and unionization push to the WoW Shadowlands content patches to the continuing development of Diablo 3, 4, as well as Diablo Immortal to the future of our site as we explore tabletop roleplaying games and other off-topic content under our Tavern Watch brand.
What made you happy — gaming or otherwise — in 2021?
It's been a rough year.
Why DMs should start small when building out new campaigns and settings
When you're planning to write your own unique Dungeons & Dragons campaign rather than a pre-made, fully-realized campaign -- also referred to as homebrew -- it can be incredibly fun to go hog wild on the worldbuilding.
How do you feel about digital game copies vs. physical ones?
The holidays are nearly over, and for gamers that means one thing -- playing all the games we received.
The Queue: Let’s start a riot!
Man, I really love Arcane. The only way this show could be better is if everyone was a dinosaur.
The past year has been pretty rocky, but there have been some things I’ve objectively enjoyed this year. Cyberpunk 2077 was a top tier favorite game for me in 2021, loved that. Arcane was super great, loved watching it. I think Wrath of the Righteous is one of the best CRPG’s ever made and have absolutely loved playing that game. Had a lot of fun playing and running D&D and other TTRPG’s, including a fun homebrew Mass Effect game we did here on the site. And several of Diablo 3‘s Seasons have been great. Plus, all sorts of cool new dinosaur news came out this year, I discovered Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong and kept watching old favorites like Eons.
So yeah, it’s been hard, but there have been some points of light out there.
This is the Queue. It’s the last Wednesday of 2021. I am running on fumes.
