The Queue

Thursday keeps coming around, and even though time ostensibly runs in one direction it’s also cyclical. Somehow it’s always Thursday, and we’re always here in the Queue.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my very best to answer your gaming questions. Let’s get to it.

I apologize for the header image being somewhat washed out, it’s the best I could do with the teaser vid.

You are waiting with your spreadsheet to try to grab a unique first and last name. I am about to get on a steam train in the wilderness in a DLC for one of my favorite long-term games.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions, and we deny all evidence to the contrary that the island in the DLC is named after me.

It’s just around the corner!

Have you eaten your first box of candy and needed to buy the “Shameful Second” box? The “Is What It Is third box?” The “Accepting You Have a Problem and Doing Nothing to Change It” fourth box?

I certainly don’t know what you’re talking about, and I resent your accusatory stares right now.

While I try and find a spot to dispose of a small mountain of wrappers, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

I’m going on a vacation trip soon and I hope I get isekai’d into some videogame world. Some of those locations you see in games look so realistic that one might think they could actually exist in real life!

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where sometimes we wonder what it would be like to visit Azeroth, or Hyrule, or Planet Zebes, and then we decide to play some Assassin’s Creed. (I wish Florence was real.)

It’s a sad day in video games, as we mourn the loss of BioWare, which is so crushing there are barely words for it.

That doesn’t mean I’m not going to write words about it, but none of those words encompasses the scope of what we’ve lost.

But let’s get down to business. This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my best to answer your questions and sometimes write lengthly soliloquies to my favorite games.

Okay, so if anyone else had Fallout 4 getting a new story DLC featuring original Nora and Nate actors Courtenay Taylor and Brian T. Delaney reprising their roles created by modding legends Kinggath Creations (I loved At Hell’s Gate, btw) and available on practically every platform the game is on… well, that makes one of us. Sure, this week (tomorrow!) will be Fallout day and we did see a teaser for this last year, but I still didn’t see a fully voiced with all new dialogue DLC with the original Nora and Nate actors just dropping like this.

There is the lightest chill on the wind that rustles the slowly crisping leaves left at the tips of the branches of the trees this morning. Sure, it’s noon and it’s like, 75 degrees out now, but you know what this means.

It is officially Soup Season. Congratulations and best wishes to all who celebrate.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and honestly we’re just trying to decide between butternut squash with sage or minestrone. Maybe a tortilla-style with the last of the fresh corn and some cubed sweet potato for body? Hmm.

It’s my birthday! Today, this very day!

Of course, if you want to have a week-long celebration to properly observe it, I won’t stop you. Just make sure you watch lots of spooky things and tell someone a joke. Jokes and spooky things sum me up pretty well now that I think of it. Here’s a couple just for you, guaranteed groaners.

How do you know when a skeleton is sick? It runs a high femur!

Why do ghosts like to ride in elevators? It really raises their spirits!

While I think of some more wonderful spooky puns, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

The Black Empire is coming. Again. There’s an enormous multi-tentacled creature blotting out the sun, and he comes to bring you love. Or death, I dunno.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where the only question that truly matters is: who is the best Old God?
