The Queue: Modern beats Retro… but at what cost?

This month’s Splatfest was a bit of a different one. Not only did it use a revamped system to determine the winner (Clout instead of matches won), it also resulted in the first win for Marina in a long time. Unfortunately, it also happened to be the Splatfest where I’ve been the most genuinely angry at the game.

When 11:00 p.m. rolled around, I had an hour left to get in just a couple wins. I figured I’d be done in 20-30 minutes tops. So, naturally, I wound up going on a 7-game losing streak where the matchmaking consistently placed me against teams that were rated higher. I don’t know why, but it frustrated me to no end. I finally hit Queen (the max Splatfest rank) at 11:57 p.m.. I was not a happy camper.

Anyhow, that’s literally all for any Nintendo-related anything that we’ll be discussing today. Let’s Queue.


The Queue: Check please

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

The Cupola Cafe offers a variety of drinks and delicious snacks, each artfully handcrafted with only the finest of goods. I thoroughly recommend the Major’s Frothy Coffee, a rich blend of local beans with just the right amount of bitterness to offset the foam.

The waitstaff on the other hand, hover to the point of being completely intolerable — which is why I sadly have to drop their rating from four to two and a half stars. If you’re visiting the establishment, I suggest picking up your coffee to go.

Wait, this isn’t a review column, this is the Queue. You have questions. Let’s answer those, why don’t we?
