The Queue

It’s nearly the new year, which means it’s packed with all of the stress of family events, “new year, new you” expectations, and all of those pesky chores with end of year deadlines that have all crash-landed on the last day of the year. Happy December 31, here’s your end of year anxiety, checking in!

But persevering through another year is still something to celebrate, so let’s get started with some questions, some sort-of-resolutions, and maybe wrap it all up by going to play some video games. I’ve put on my most festive hat to celebrate, and I think you should too.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column (or an excuse to hang out and chat). Let’s get to some questions.

I’ve been existing on christmas cookies and cheese for the past few days. Time has no meaning, everything is just me in my oversized sweatshirt, avoiding cleaning the house or being a responsible adult or even moving all that much. You know, the norm.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and yeah, yeah I’ll find my yoga mat in time for my futile new year’s resolution, don’t rush me.

The last week of the year is like the end of a lopsided sports match; nothing really matters, and it just feels like you’re running out the clock. Enough people take vacation time that no real work feels like it can be done, and even if you’re going to work, it is likely going to be slow. Unless you’re working at a mall, in which case, good luck.

This year it has a double meaning for me as I’ve spent the last few days being sick with a fever. I don’t recommend it. At least I seem to be through the worst of it in time for the new year.

While I rest up for a new year of Queues, our daily question and answer column, it’s time for — The Queue!

We’re still in the holiday mood for this week. We’re only shifting gears to “New Year woo!” next week. So I have decided, for no particular reason.

(Well, the reason was all the Christmas-related questions we got, and were still answering.)

Either way, This is The Queue, our daily Q&A slash discussion slash chat column, where you can ask questions (and hopefully get answers), chat with like-minded folks, or just read the words on the screen. You know it, you know it!

I wasn’t trying to get a level 80 Warrior, it just kind of happened. I thought I would get in my Timewalking dungeons on a level 71 Warrior, and before I knew it I was level 80. I’m now the kind of person with a single max level Warrior, a completely normal thing to be. Right? Right. No one here would think that would be weird at all.

This is the Queue, our daily chit-chat Q&A column. Let’s see what’s going on.

If you want to know just how grim it is out there, my grocery store is out of both powdered and brown sugar. Completely out, no more.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and we’ll provide the answers — and a cookie! — just as soon as we try two other stores. Do you think Walgreens has powdered sugar?

It’s almost Christmas, and unlike the last few years — it’s a cold one for me. I had people warning me that it was gonna be a rougher winter, and I foolishly didn’t believe them. I’m as shocked as you all are, I’m sure. Only my face doesn’t look like it because it’s frozen like Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining. 

While I try to warm up, it’s time for our daily reader question and answer column — The Queue!

Speculating about which new specs the WoW classes could get is the kind of thing that really gets me going, and a lot of the community as well. Earth-based tank Shamans, “Shockadins,” Gladiator Warriors, tanking Warlocks and others are common fantasies for new specs players want to see. Today, we delve into some of those ideas.

This is The Queue, where you tell us all about why you want to play a tanking Priest wielding warglaives, and I point you at Tyrande butchering fools in Darkshore and ask you “why not?”

Let’s not waste time.

It’s the holiday season, which means it’s cold and dark and I would rather hibernate until spring. But it also means holiday lights, festive packages, the Steam Winter Sale (soon) and more festivity. We can’t have one without the other.

But for now, while the sun is up, let’s do the Queue.
