The Queue

Seriously. What a week. And it’s actually Friday, so I get to say this without having some funny person tell me “Red, it’s Wednesday” or whatever.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where sometimes things are just moving too fast and we’re exhausted, man.

Thursdays are an enigma that I have yet to solve, and I don’t think today’s looking much better either. But Thursday is here, and we cannot ignore it, only accept it.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where we talk about Warcraft and just about everything else. Welcome.

So I have collected all of the stuff I wanted for the Doom: The Dark Ages crossover, unlocked Torment 3 (and frankly I’m not feeling like I’m prepared for the difficulty) and otherwise I feel done with the whole turning into the Butcher aspect of the Season. Since I now have a metric boatload of Barbarians to choose to level through the upcoming Lord of Hatred expansion, I think now may be the time to get in some World of Warcraft and let my Barbarians (and that one Paladin) rest for a while.

So, Horde or Alliance? I have an Elf ready for both factions.

POV: You’re in the middle of a Nightmare Prey, and happen to run across a little capybara with anxiety. The capybara only trusts you to get him somewhere safe, but he doesn’t want to ride on a mount because that’s too scary so he’d run away if you mount up. So you truck across the entirety of Zul’Aman pursued by blood puddles and weird ghosts and a few light ambushes.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we give you the answers just as long as you don’t scare our little friend.

The days out there are getting sunnier. Unfortunately, I don’t have a good set of prescription sunglasses, so I’m left squinting at things a lot of the time. It’s going to be a long summer. Maybe this will be the year that I finally get a pair. They’ve always seemed like a huge luxury, which I why I don’t have a pair already. Also, what if I’m bad at hanging onto sunglasses? I’ve heard lots of stories of people losing every pair of sunglasses they own.

While I try to find a new hat to wear all the time, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

It’s almost Noblegarden, the annual holiday where the Great Goblin in the Noble Garden puts on his bunny costume, finds a nice spot to crouch down, [REDACTED], and we get a lot of chocolate eggs. Nature on Azeroth is beautiful.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where all the lore is made up, and the points don’t matter. But the questions do matter, so let’s get to them!

When we returned to Silvermoon City, my Blood Elf Death Knight felt like she needed to fit in. All dressed in red and gold, looking like a perfectly normal Blood Elf. You might mistake her for a Paladin, even, if you didn’t pay attention to the pale skin and glowing blue eyes.

But of course the Silvermoon City guards saw right through that. I get constant insults from guards asking me about my “dark master” and in general barely tolerating my presence. Well, I tried.

Of course these days I’m not fitting in in all new ways. For one, I don’t think I’m tall enough to be mistaken for a Nightborne, but also my transmog needs a lot of work. We’ll see how it goes.

But for now, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where I answer your gaming questions and then we all get to hang out in the comments section. Let’s get to it.

I understand that it may not be to everyone’s tastes, but personally, I can’t come up with anything I’m enjoying more in my convalescence than a rousing game of pretending the Doom Slayer crashed onto Sanctuary somehow and is now showing an entirely new set of demons why the only thing they should fear is me.

It’s the Queue, everyone.

I am at that peculiar crossroads between excited anticipation, and the melancholy that comes when something is over. The final episode of The Long Dark‘s story mode releases today. While I’ll still be able to keep playing it in survival mode, and revisit the story as well, it remains one of my most cherished gaming experiences, and I had a genuine lump in my throat when they announced it “went gold” on Steam a couple weeks ago.

This is it. It’s almost over. But it’s almost a new beginning.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and I definitely didn’t write this early so I could binge a video game for the rest of the day.

I definitely did not authorize it to be Monday already. The dilemma of weekends: the more I do on the weekend, the more I feel like I need a second weekend after my weekend because I used the first one up doing stuff, but the less I do on the weekend, the more I feel like I need a second weekened because I wasted the first one.

Anyway, this is The Queue, our daily Q&A column. Grab your favorite morning beverage (I have an iced coffee, unlike the fine captain up here) and let’s get to answering some questions.
