The Queue

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.

I’m trying to improve my perspective on the latest WoW patch, and looking for the positive side of cursed snake island. There has to be something good about this place, something to appreciate. I found this pleasant waterfall, which might be a nice place to sit with a picnic blanket. I don’t see a single snake.

But I do see giants, and there are some unfriendly beasties in the water, as well as insects flying around. Even without the snakes, this is hard to recommend as a vacation spot. I’ll keep trying to look on the bright side, but I haven’t found it yet.

So let’s get to the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I do my best to answer your questions. Let’s get to the comments.

Trust me, we’ll come back to this.

It isn’t often that my now-teenage daughter gives me something but when she does it’s usually a cold. Her immune system tends to be ironclad, and mine is also similarly strong, so when the littler one brings something home, eh, it’s a headcold or whatever. But when my daughter brings something home and I catch it, it is gnarly and won’t let go. I’m on day 4, and I feel worse than I did yesterday.

If Cory also gives me his cold I’m going to haunt this website when I die.

I had a chest cold a week ago, and the cough is still holding on. I’m fine, except for the hacking and coughing every once in a while. It’s only really bad when I lie down, and who spends their evenings lying down? Sleep is overrated, I’ve heard, anyway.

While I look into replacement lungs, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

I’m fascinated by the first revealed boss in the upcoming Megaman game, Twinkle Girl. First of all, because it’s a breath of fresh air that they’re no longer confined to just “[Something] Man” (EDIT: or “Woman”) anymore. But second, because she just looks so friendly!

Look at her!
