Reminder we’re doing one big review roundup episode a month now. So if you have any questions for us about: The Alters and Roger Citizen Sleeper 2 Dredge Or Dave the Diver Let us know down below!

The thing that excites me most with these upcoming announcements is that Blizzcon is still later this year. The event they would normally spend talking about these things…. What do they have planned for Blizzcon then?

Official petition to get Radio by Bershy in the next @horizon.forza.net Song was a vibe in Dispatch can only imagine how hard it’d hit on the track.

So we’re really kicking off @Xbox 25th anniversary by not giving their own players a single thing for over half the year while pumping out the better versions of last years stuff in other consoles. Perfect

You could say it’s been a very emotional year in gaming so far.

The Switch 2 has become my most used Nintendo Console since the N64. That time spike in June is probably more than I ever used the Switch 1

Let us tell you a little something about a little game called Dispatch

Not much of a change over here but with the new year we will be retiring “BadlandsBacklogs” as a name and exclusively be representing The Download Queue as a podcast and other endeavors. Social links should be changed already or will be by next show. (our top 10 of 2025).

Kyle is kind of in love with Alan Wake 2 Kyle's Alan Wake 2 Thoughts! youtu.be/eyMoFg-wbUg

I’ll be honest 2026 I just want to re-fall in love with gaming again. I find it so hard to truly enjoy and become immersed in anything anymore and it makes the hobby hard. Even stuff I’m completely in on at the moment fades to a “eh” relatively fast
