The Queue

There are so many great mothers in Blizzard’s games. A lot more than in Disney movies for some reason…

I still think that the best Warcraft one is Alexstraza. It’s not easy being a mother to so many fire-breathing children. That she can still treat us, the players (other than Death Knights), as nicely as she does is impressive. She’d be well within her rights to ignore the world and go spend all of her time at a spa, relaxing.

While I go find some Pandaren extra giant cucumber slices for her to put over her eyes, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

I am greatly enjoying my Warlock in Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred. Not only is the class really fun to play, she’s very photogenic. I guess one thing you learn early on in Warlock School is that it’s not enough to constantly battle corruption while pursuing infinite demonic power; you have to look really cool while doing it.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we ride a demonic doggo into battle while dragging our enemies in fire chains behind us, and then we incinerate them. Feels good, man.

In Diablo 4’s latest expansion, my Necromancer has more pets than ever. I can have up up to 27 necromantic minions, and though I don’t yet have the gear to have quite that many at once right now, I did equip a new Runeword that is helping to fill the loneliness in my heart by summoning ghost wolves, based on the number of other minions I have up. Though the ghost wolves only last for seven seconds, they’re constantly being resummoned, and so I am surrounded by a veritable army of the goodest ghostly boys at all times. Truly a miracle of dark magic.

Sure, I can’t find myself on screen in the chaos, but it’s worth it.

If you’re new around here and don’t understand, this is the Queue, our daily Q&A column, and today we’re talking about lot about Diablo and little about kaiju. It’s a perfectly ordinary day, so let’s get to the questions.

Day 8 — So far I still have no idea how I got to this ‘Sanctuary’ place. It is perhaps the worst name for a place I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve been to a world named Draenor after the people who crash landed on it instead of the people native to it.

No one I’ve spoken to can point me to any portals that lead anywhere except to ‘Hell’ which is not helpful. Significant demonic problem — most people here seem terrified of or resigned to the things so I’ve taken on the task to cleaning them out.

On the upside, I can finally dye my armor.

We’re running down to the end of the school year, which means we’re also spinning up all our summer activities and signups and schedules at the same time. So you’ll forgive me, but I gotta make this one quick.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us questions and I hope they’re not too complex because I’m also filling out a form at the same time and I’m about to accidentally put my phone number in one of these.

The snow just disappeared here. It wasn’t a particularly rough winter, but it was long, and the snow kept coming back, so now that it’s properly gone, wanna go sledding?

We saw Sledding Game randomly scrolling in the Xbox app, and it’s a cute little friend game with terrible physics and minigames. It’s not deeper than watching a pudgy little frog with a funny hat drink hot chocolate on a ski lift, but that’s the charm.

So while I go down the mountain again, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

You know the feeling. You’ve gotten a new hat and you just have to wear it somewhere, even though you’re in a city full of extremely judgmental elves. You can’t just stay inside with such a fabulous new hat. You have to go out and find some weirdos to appreciate it with you.

And that’s all I have to say about the May Trading Post, which went live this morning. (Though any comments complementing my hat are welcome.)

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where we usually do not talk about hats this much, but there are trying times. Let’s get to the questions.

I’m confused: It’s not my usual Queue day! Turmoil! Chaos! Shadowfiends and Lightspawns living together, Mass Hysteria! What is this…?

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where sometimes IRL stuff gets in the way of our plans, and we have to swap Queues momentarily, to hopefully return to our normal schedule next week.

Meanwhile… questions!

Wow, how about that REDACTED when REDACTED ended up REDACTED? Crazy! I love Lord of Hatred, it’s completely nuts.

It would seem that, despite only playing it a couple times I’m pretty good at Decor Duel. Did you know that, if you last until 2 minutes 30 seconds, you’re permanently found with an arrow above your head until the match ends? Seems a little like a blue shell kinda thing, but what do I know, I’m just a games journalist.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask where are we? What the hell is going on? And we answer that it’s all for the best (of course it is).
