The Queue

I’m not sure, but after playing World of Warcraft for over 20 years, I’m willing to give it a chance. And we’ll know how things play out very soon, because the beta is scheduled to go live at NQT.

But while we wait (seconds) for that to happen or (hours) for the servers to be stable, let’s get to the questions. This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column.

Is anyone else still voraciously consuming BlizzCon 2026 content? Watching missed panels, reactions and thoughts by content creators, analysis and predictions, etc.?

No? Just me? Great.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we ponder just how much time we’ll end up investing in WoW: Forever while daydreaming about Hearthstone Monks — and answering your questions.

I just love a good glittery magic girl transformation sequence.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and 私たちは答えを提供します (though honestly, sometimes I prefer the dub).

When I was telling Liz that I wouldn’t be able to contribute much to BlizzCon coverage, but I would jump on if there was a Heroes of the Storm announcement, I didn’t expect to have to get to work for the first major news out of the opening ceremonies! I also told her that the article would just be me laughing and then end with an “I told you so.” However, I did manage to contain myself just enough that I kept all of my “I told you so” moments to Discord chats.

Heroes is back, baby! I’ve got my Xal’atath bundle bought, my PTR updated so when she goes live today I can jump on, and I’m ready to shout from the mountaintops that this game continues to deserve your support. It’s the best thing in the MOBA space, hands down, and I love it so much. It’s wonderful to see support for it from the highest point of Blizzard, and it was great to see the crowd pack the seats for the exhibition match between Gen.G. and Dignitas.

While I go hang out in the Nexus, it’s time for — The Queue!

No time to talk. Blizzcon is almost here! Excitement is in the air!

This is The Queue, our daily column where questions get asked about BlizzCon, and answers are given about BlizzCon. At least this time.

The Coiled Isle has finally done it. I’m going to spec tank. I just can’t deal with being overwhelmed and murdered by snakes all the time, particularly in the Vaults of Atal’Utek where it is very easy to get overwhelmed and murdered by snakes.

Being surrounded by snakes is bad enough on its own without the regular need to run back to my corpse (through snakes) to get killed (by snakes) again because I’ve died somewhere inconvenient and the rest of the group has moved on. Time to spec Blood and become ungovernable, no snake will stop me.

Well, no more than usual.

But in between my own cries of terror, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I make my best attempts to answer your questions. Let’s go.

First we had a Zelda Direct that mostly was an advertisement for one game and some merch, and now the Nintendo Direct today straight up featured the above quote for an upcoming game. Finally, a game for nihilists. But hey, Eternal Anima and the new Kirby game caught my attention for sure, and Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon is out today in English for the first time on the Switch. That’s pretty neat. You should play that. Keep encouraging Square-Enix to localize obscure SNES games until I finally get Treasure of the Rudras in English, please.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers, and then the comments turn into the most civil chatroom on the internet. Seriously, I’m proud of y’all. Most days.

I heard there was a big announcement from Nintendo about the Zelda series this morning. Back in my day kids, we had another big story — you might even call it Great? — featuring a princess named Zelda, too. They even made a movie version. Oh, no, we uh… we weren’t expecting a sequel. Why? uh, well…

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we might be a little evasive about the answer for no real reason. It’s just a little awkward. Oh hey, there’s a musical version on Broadway too!

This Peon makes some excellent points, and I would like to subscribe to his newsletter.

While I dodge the overseer’s boot, it’s time for our daily question-and-answer column — The Queue!

I am the sugary dream…

The muffin in your midnight cravings…

The cake of a thousand layers!

Cower before my buttery form!

BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF PASTRIES!

This is The Queue, a daily Q&A column where we would like to consume the flesh and blood of an ancient godlike being, as long as it tastes like lava cake.
