Made some sous vide eggs the other day (45 min at 140 F) bc of this thread and put them on top of a salad. Delicious.

You may not see archetypal decks in arena, but it teaches you fundamentals like when to trade vs go face, the value of certain cards (esp during the draft phase), when to expect certain cards (turn 7 Flamestrike, turn 5 Druid of the Claw, etc.). The only thing you're really missing by playing...

Solder 76 gameplay. He looks fairly balanced as his ult doesn't last all that long and he can get blown up fairly quickly like I thought he would. He had a Mercy babysitting him this match too, giving him +dmg and healing him. Also, commenters are saying Blizz added a FOV slider.

What's the purple minion in the center for the Priest?

Did sous vide eggs in shell a few times. They're already sealed, so no need to take them out of the shell. They're pretty good, but I think they work best as an accompaniment to something else. They get really runny and the texture is more sauce than 'egg'. This post on Serious Eats about...

Great coms match from Tempo Storm

He also only has 200 hp (less than Tracer at 225), so he'll be fairly easy to blow up.

New char: Soldier 76 Soldier: 76 - Overwatch Pulse rifle, rockets, sprint, HP regen field, and his ult gives him autoaim

Whatever. D1 Butcher, D2 Smith. Same thing

Thematically, the Butcher tearing up squishes when they least expect it is so fitting. I still remember opening a door in D2 and watching my Sorc get her shit pushed in. First game against a Butcher who ganked me through the bushes felt much the same. He yelled "Fresh meat!", charged at me...

IMO, if you're just starting out, just don't set the goal of trying to 'beat' the ladder (i.e. get to Legendary). Unless you've been watching the game forever (so you have knowledge of all the meta decks and how to handle them) and have a crap ton of time and patience, you're realistically not...

Maybe they were just having connection issues to begin with and not intentionally rope burning? I've played more than once on my phone with a spotty connection, force quit the game to try to get back in, and see that I lost a star. Not everyone is trying to BM

Stumbled upon Zagat's YouTube channel and it's really good. I'm a sucker for production quality and coffee (it's a bit snobby though).

Widowmaker's ult gets applied to the whole team, so everyone gets to see through walls for the duration.

Zarya She seems super versatile. Shields herself + teammates, movement restricting ult, grenade / laser weapon.

Wait, what?

Violet Teacher for Brawl MVP

Love my pressure cooker. I use it mostly for soups/stews though. Used it a lot more during the winter, but I still break it out once a month-ish for chicken soup (mirepoix + a whole chicken + bay leaf, cook for an hr, add some cooked rice).

Latest 3: Winston, Widowmaker, and Bastion. Didn't post earlier as I found the first two fairly boring. Winston in particular looks pretty awkward with his random left arm and I felt like he should go into 3rd person view for his ult. Bastion looks fun though.

I've seen more ridiculous plays with Warsong + Berserker than with Patron, how come that combo wasn't used when Deaths Bite hit the scene?

Ah, didn't know. Tough loss

PTSD? You were playing in that match?

Patron warrior is hard

Really close game 3 (skip to 1 hr 15 min mark) between C9 Vortex and compLexity. Sound is a little desync'd and the observer sucks though.

I don't think that Tavern Brawls take up -that- much of Blizzard's time. For this first Tavern Brawl, they pulled directly from the Blackrock Mountain Adventure. Tomorrow, we'll see what the next one is, but if I had to make a guess, I'd say it'd be something like "Now that you've seen how...

Putting hot food in the fridge raises the temp of everything in it, which is bad for food safety

Changing Relentless to not affect Polymorph is a huge buff to Brightwing. Edit: well, maybe not huge as Polymorph is only 2 seconds, but it's pretty big. Edit 2: well, with Greater Polymorph (inc duration by 1 sec), at 16, I could see that being picked over Criterize (25% damage boost).

Oil rogue feels so strong. Only rank 14, so no one expects the combo shenanigans. Who needs Auctioneer when you have Prep + Sprint. Oh, and Thaurrisan, so strong in combo decks. Just wish I had Van Cleef.

I think the worst offenders in Nef's decks are Atramedes and Razorgore. If Nef gets either of them and you don't have an answer, that's an auto-concede.

He's not that bad, Brawls are mostly just RNG though. If Nefarian gets enough good spells with his hero power you're screwed. But if you draw Coren Direbrew when entering the late game (and Nef generally gets the upper hand), then you basically win. Also, not sure why everyone's bitching, I...

True. The only ability they showed was Seven-Sided Strike, which would be like an invuln / damage skill. You could argue that he used Dashing Strike too. Third skill could be Breath of Heaven to heal himself and allies. Dunno, just grasping at straws here. We'll see soon enough.

Maybe it's minor, but a drawing of Auriel (female archangel of hope, save her at the beginning of act 4) was shown at the beginning of the Eternal Conflict trailer. She could be the D3 support char HoTS is missing. At least, she seems more plausible than Deckard Cain.

Been awhile since I've touched the series, but wasn't Cloud a silent protagonist? What about in the movie?

Mage skin:Medivh

Power Overwhelming + charge isn't new. Of course Emp just made those kinds of combos possible again.

Thinking about the Pharah vid, the other team didn't have a Widowmaker (sniper). I feel like a good one could shut Pharah down hard whenever she flies since she's so exposed.

Alleria as thenew hunter skin. Not worth the embed.

Pharah I chuckled when that poor Bastion player managed to get a revenge kill on Pharah. Also, something to note about Play of the Game: Also, These quotes are from the PlayOverwatch account, btw. So obvious PR vids, and Blizz knows it.

One of the things about Tavern Brawls is that you can challenge friends, so I'm hoping to see some fun tourneys once they drop.Kripp seems super stoked about it, especially since he just started doing Challengestone. I agree with him too, I thought the Challengestone format was really fun and...
