In my many years of observing and analyzing critters, I have assembled a list of critical traits that go into an animal's CQ, or Cuteness Quotient.

It’s so cold outside that even my eyeballs feel cold, which is pretty gosh-darned cold. And I know this because Abby refuses to go outside alone, so I have to walk with her, even the many times she wants to walk outside for long enough to decide she doesn’t want to be outside, then turn around and come back inside, then repeat again when she’s forgotten she didn’t want to go out in the cold. In short, I’m spending an above average amount of time walking around outside, so I can say without a doubt that it is very cold.

But enough about that. Let’s answer some questions.

This week we discuss the cross-faction gameplay feature coming in patch 9.2.5, Sony's acquisition of Bungie, and our site's 7th anniversary this week.

The Lunar Festival was the first holiday I got to participate in when I started playing World of Warcraft.

It has been a really terrifying, hellish month and it's only the third day of it as I write this, and so, as a coping mechanism I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4.  Yes, that's right, I deal with stress by playing a game where humanity blew up the world.

Welcome to the multiverse Queue. I’m your friendly neighborhood SpideyLiz from Earth dimension C-137. It’s my first time writing this column, so to answer your burning question: Yes, I’m deliberately mixing fandoms for fun, I dare you to name them all before we get to the end. Cool, that was it, right?

Whoops, guess not. Know what’s not fun? Xenomorphs taking over our editors (you’re awesome Mitch, thank you for letting me try my hand). Let’s answer some questions, Mua’dib.

Okay, so you've decided you want to create your own world in your weekly tabletop game.

On Friday, the oft-delayed Dying Light 2 will be released, starting off a month of big releases that frankly boggles the mind -- even with the Saints Row reboot being delayed until August.

Gonna just get right to it this week. It’s the Queue, you know how this works, and I haven’t slept more than an hour a day in a week so I doubt I could be clever even if I wanted to.

This week, we explore the story and lore behind the hit Sony Interactive game, Horizon Zero Dawn.
