Hello. I am not a sword, or a dinosaur, or a proto-synapsid, or a person who is unhealthily obsessed with a carving knife. I am Matt Rossi and I am writing this Queue. I am not someone else pretending to be him. I am him. I am old and my eyes are messed up and I play way, way too many Warriors and Barbarians. I am not subtle.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk about stuff.

It may not have been an entirely wise decision, but I'm going to be running a D&D game for us Blizzard Watch folks -- and we're going to stream it, record it, and let y'all listen to us do this.

When we talk about big content patches -- and based on what we know, World of Warcraft's patch 8.2 is a big one -- it helps to know what kind of content players make the most use of.

The difficulty of Dark Souls puts its speedruns almost in a different category than your typical video game speedrun.

Welcome to The Queue, where I — the lady who started off writing about pet battle mechanics — am somehow tasked with discussing narrative direction and literary criticism. This is why we can’t have nice things. Well, that and demonic corruption…

Sometimes it hits me how even when Jack Kirby didn't create a big Marvel character, that character wouldn't exist without him.

One of the things Heroes of the Storm is great at is giving us whole new skins and backstories for said skins.

We will likely be getting the patch 8.2 PTR soon (patent pending) according to a new interview PC Gamer just published with Ion Hazzikostas, the game director of World of Warcraft.  That's big enough on its own, but the interview covers a lot of ground: also Ion talks about lessons learned from Battle for Azeroth, how the Heart of Azeroth will change in patch 8.2, how Blizzard designs big open world content zones in the wake of the Timeless Isle and Argus, and a lot more.

Dinosaurs were big.

There's a reason why Bon Appétit fans cried when it was unceremoniously announced that pastry chef Claire Saffitz would be leaving the company.
