The Queue: For the Queen!
by Cory Taylor on May 18, 2026 at 1:00pm @CoryjTaylor
Happy Victoria Day to my fellow Canucks, and only my fellow Canucks. Apparently, we’re the only ones who specifically celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday. It doesn’t hurt that it lands on a good point to make the unofficial start of Summer, that’s totally just a coincidence. If you don’t have a queen to celebrate today, maybe you could celebrate Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades. She’s pretty cool and pointy!
Other good options are the Junker Queen, Queen Talanji, Queen Aszhara, Zagara the Zerg Queen, and the Amazon Queen from Skovos.
While I try to think of more Queens to celebrate in Blizzard games, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!

The Queue: Curse this place, I’m being followed
by Phil Xavier on May 15, 2026 at 1:00pm
Every single run of The Pit in Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has your character, worried about some unknown marauder supposedly following them, cursing the place for it (no matter which place it is) — but the encounter with this mysterious assailant never actually happens. I don’t get it, man. Since people recently discovered the Secret Cow Level in Diablo 4, maybe the next secret they should devote themselves to is how to find this elusive character who always follows you in The Pit, but never actually shows their face.
This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where you ask as questions and we answer them because that’s what “Q&A” means, I think. Right? Right. I mean, I *hope* I’m right about this; otherwise I’ve been doing this column all wrong.

The Queue: We have trees at home
by Elizabeth Harper on May 14, 2026 at 1:00pm
I know that Blizzard has a cool new bundle featuring two treehouse-style home exteriors, but we have trees at home. We don’t need to spend $40 (or $75 if we get the bundle with matching accessories) to build a treehouse. We have trees at home!
We have to build them ourselves, but still, we have trees at home.
This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where sometimes we have to tackle the important topic of treehouses in video games. Let’s get to your questions.
