The Queue: Nine Days until BlizzCon edition
Can you believe we’re less than 10 days away from BlizzCon 2023? Can you believe that English doesn’t have a word for a 10-day period (although “decade” has been used for that in the past, it’d be confusing to use nowadays)? Can you believe we still don’t have a schedule for BlizzCon yet*? Can you believe I started off four sentences in a row with “can you believe”?
Anyways, nine days until information overload and my body is ready. And I still think the amount of space dedicated to Overwatch 2 on the BlizzCon map is exorbitant. Could the Upcoming Survival Game be hiding in there? We’ll find out soon enough!
We’re also deep into leak season and even World of Warcraft is getting into the mix posting images that may or may not be meaningful. I personally agree with Wowhead that it’s likely props for the Corridor of Time section, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy speculating.
Anyway, that’s enough text in the intro, let’s answer some questions!

The Queue: Please Don’t
Slay the Princess is out today Monday (last minute delay due to Steam certification issues) and I am super excited. I’ve been wanting this game since it first appeared on the Steam store last year, and I didn’t even bother with the demo because the description had me sold and I didn’t want to split up my time with it. I even named it my top GOTY candidate for 2023! Now I just have to hope that I actually do enjoy the game. Although I don’t know how I wouldn’t, because this description sounds phenomenal:
You’re on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.
You’re here to slay her. If you don’t, it will be the end of the world.
She will do everything in her power to stop you. She’ll charm, and she’ll lie, and she’ll promise you the world, and if you let her, she’ll kill you a dozen times over. You can’t let that happen. Don’t forget, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders.
You’re not going to listen to him, are you? We’re supposed to save princesses, not slay them…
I’m not a huge horror game fan, but this level of psychological trickery is right up my alley. But since I can’t play it quite yet, why don’t we answer some questions?
