In a bit of an ironic twist, as we begin the kids’ holiday week off school — where the days stretch into nights, both stretching into infinity — it’s also the longest night of the year in my hemisphere. I hope The Queue stays warm tonight. It’s gonna be a long one.

This is The Queue, where you ask us questions and we answer them between sips of cocoa — or herbal tea.

The Feast of Winter Veil event is already live on World of Warcraft, and as is tradition, we're waiting to open our presents under the tree in Ironforge or Orgrimmar.

If you'd have told me that they would be doing significant class balance changes to Diablo 2: Resurrected I would likely not have believed you.

It's pretty rare for a game to get a balance change twenty-two years after its release, but that appears to be what's about to happen when Diablo 2: Resurrected gets a balance pass in patch 2.4, likely coming out sometime early next year in 2022.

Seriously, how is it already the 20th of December?! I still have to bake, and decorate, and shop, and try and find a time to watch Spider-Man, and and and and…

While I freak out for a moment about all of the things I still have to do, it’s time for — The Queue.

Hearthstone esports is undergoing some major changes in 2022, and among them is one that definitely caught us by surprise: in addition to their typical Constructed decks events slate, Battlegrounds mode will get its own set of official competitive events as well.

If you're the gamer in your friend group or family, you often get asked about the various games you play, be they video games, tabletop RPGs, board games -- I have lost track of the amount of times I've been asked to explain Catan to people -- and you're put in the position of serving as a sort of unofficial ambassador for the hobbies you participate in and enjoy.

Hello and happy Friday!

Sometimes it's the stress of holiday preparation, sometimes it's getting final work deadlines met, sometimes it's the realization that it has been another long year that has managed to both fly by in a flash and drag on for way, way too long -- we're not sure what it is, but something makes the last few weeks of the year so inevitably exhausting.

Winter Veil is live and we’re heading towards the end of 2021 as the holiday season — both real and imagined — zooms by. It’s wild how we’ve already gone through another year, isn’t it?

But wonderful or not, timely or not, now it’s time for the Queue.
