No

My spouse and I are going to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day this weekend, a date night and the first movie I’ll see in a theatre since 2020. I won’t pretend I’m not nervous — COVID left marks on my soul that have never really faded and the realization that many people living around me would be perfectly happy to let me and other people with risk factors die instead of doing simple, harmless things like wearing masks or getting vaccinated.

Still, I want to see Spider-Man do Spider-Man things. And at least I know he’d wear a mask to keep me safe, if he were real.

It’s March 6th, and an ocean of darkness comes to drown the world.

This is the Queue, and from this lone promontory of land stabbing out into the quivering abyss, we can but delay our imminent madness with diversions of light woven into stories. Hope is fleeting, life is transient, we watch the suffering of those we love helpless to prevent it. Shackled by beliefs that do nothing to hinder others from bringing doom and harm to everyone, we can but watch the next wave building. Soon like Atlantis we will be dragged beneath endless heavy tons of water.

I am a negative man, but we are not under the waves yet. So let us talk while we yet have time.

Life can be complicated at times, but it can also be simple if you just make an effort to take a step back and look at things from an outside perspective.

This is The Queue, your column that’s always here — at this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the internet, localized entirely within your browser of choice.

Yeah, this one was a doozy all told. Yerac wants to hear my thoughts about a famous comic book writer and artist who wrote some really yikes stuff, and so, they get their wish.

I didn’t even mention all the cheesecake and exploitation he did with She-Hulk, because compared to this, that stuff was tame.

Finally got the legendary memory off of Stone Generals, and a cape, so that was good. Unfortunately I upgraded the legendary I had and so I don’t have the soul ash to make a new legendary, but I can run Torghast and get that out of the way at least. Yay for Signet of Tormented Kings. Boo for missing so many raid nights that this was the first time I killed those two.

Anyway, just Denathrius next, and that’s exciting, hopefully we kill him this week.

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

It had to end. It had to end. I have too many screenshots of my various Warriors I wasn’t going to get to use for a Queue header because of that Chaddius. It had to end. I was getting the shakes from not showing off my latest shirtless transmog!

It had to end, and it has, the only way it could.

This is the Queue. Chaddius has left the building.

Blizzard hasn't made an announcement that patch 8.0 is being released, which is probably enough sign that it's not arriving this Tuesday.
