    Overwatch

    So first week is over. I'm happy OWL is back as I enjoy it quite a bit. It seems to have done well with viewership around 200K for the 5 days for the 6+ hours it was on. I didn't watch all of it, maybe 8-10 games, and not necessary all matches. The level of coordination these teams have is...

    Alita: Battle Angel (2018)

    I hate 3D, and couldn't find a theater showing without 3D near me, so ended up skipping it which sucks since I was really looking forward to it.

    First day of season 2 did well think. 200K+ on the main broadcast plus another 40K on the other language broadcast. No big surprise, GOATS on both sides most of the time. I think this is what stage 1 will be like since they won't patch during stages. It's going to be a repeat of season 1 where...

    Leave it to Gladiators and Surefour to be the first to play Symmetra in OWL. :)

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    The most important for Episode IX is to restore a measure of goodwill toward the Star Wars IP. JJ has to take the mess The Last Jedi left him with and bring it to a point where people are satisfied with Star Wars again. It doesn't necessarily need to have a huge at the box office opening...

    EA and WOTC have successful online games and Activision-Blizzard is failing hardcore.

    I'm a huge fan of OWL, I love the format that mirrors real sport leagues rather than isolated tournaments. That said, OWL will suffer from Blizzard glacial pace of development. The game is stale for too long periods of time. Dive dominating for over a year, then GOATS for 6 months+ and still...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I tried all 4 Javelins during the 2nd weekend, well the 3 others since I had played the Ranger on the first weekend. My favorite by far is the Storm, his ability to hover for longer, and his elemental abilities just felt more fun to me. It gave me a Warlock Stormcaller vibe from Destiny 2 which...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    I tried this and I've come to the conclusion that BR games are just not for me. For one thing, I suck. The real reason though, is that in general I find the action in the games to be vastly "uneven" for lack of a better term. You have a game where you are constantly fighting squads after...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I might just restart this. I never finished it. I didn’t like the ship stuff, and not the biggest fan of real time combat I like turn based way more. I’ll definitely try it just to see at least.

    I don't have much of a problem with Reaper the way he is right now. He is stronger than before, but still has the same mobility issues, and is for the most part still as countereable as before. You just don't want to 1v1 him now.

    I think some of you guys should look for new exciting jobs, you're bored way too often. Although it does make for some entertaining reading. :)

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    My final thoughts. It's quite simple really, the game is not perfect...but at the end of the day, when I'm in the suit flying around, killing shit, and doing combos on the Storm, I'm having a blast and that's good enough for me.

    Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

    That looks awesome. I love the Rock ability to say any cheesy lines with a straight face and make it sound cool and the Hobbs character does it all the time. :)

    What else? :) A new statue, this time Gallevarbe: Eyes of the Queen from the Court of the Dead. This will be the last Court of the Dead statue for a while, pre-orders usually go up 12 months in advance and I have nothing else on order right now. With nothing in her left hand. with a Knife...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    I support the store that has the product I want at the best price whenever I decide to buy it whether at release or 6 months down the line. I have "ZERO" loyalty to any of them.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I played for about 2 hours on the PS4. I’m not a fan of being dropped in middle of the game at level 10. I guess it works better to show more stuff but I always find it annoying at first because you miss the progression that introduce you to gameplay mechanics slowly. That said controls feel...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    I wanted to watch streams while on lunch break at work since Seagull was playing it. He only got on at like 12:50 or something and my lunch break ends at 1:00. So I didn't see anything. I hope the login problems are fixed by the time I get home.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I'm on the PS4. It's pretty much my platform of choice these days if something is on it. Couch and 55" just can't be beat. I hit 50(real life) this weekend, and I think everything just got harder over night. :)

    Monster Hunter: World

    I finally got around to playing this during the weekend. It's pretty fun so far, not very far in yet though. Using Dual Blades right now since they look pretty simple to play. Looking forward to more monster slaying. I hope I can manage to get further. I'm feeling my age with all this button...

    Overwatch

    This is so true. The best way to enjoy this game for me is to accept that where I am put in terms of SR is pretty much where I belong. Going from that, I just do my best, and enjoy the game. As I said a few post back, I can get up to high plat if I want, but it's a lot of work that requires a...

    Overwatch

    To expand on this a little without going into a deep analysis. In this season there are tons of Rein vs Rein, and the team that wins more often than not will be the one with the Rein that blocks more Shatters than the other one. That's not reflected anywhere, Rein can have the most awesome...

    Overwatch

    I've been in low gold for last few seasons, after being Plat for a while. Staying in Plat for me meant a few things. 1. Limit my hero pool to just a few, mostly support and a few tanks, and mostly avoid being a DPS. 2. Be Disciplined: Don't play when tired, don't play after a bad day, stop...

    Titans

    Just finished watching this on Netflix in Canada. It was a lot better than I expected. Interesting stories, fairly good characters for the most part. Ending was strange but looking forward to season 2 and see if they can keep this up.

    I had a good streak...then 5 dps. I should have quit for the night...but I stayed for another game...5dps again.

    Maybe Ashe is into omnics, it would give the line "Bob, do something" a whole new meaning. :)

    I don't like XQC, but he knows his audience. He usually has between 15-20K no matter what game he is playing, or just doing Just Chatting.

    Scenes from movies that make you cry?

    Somewhat similar, never been one to cry at movies, but since my mother passed away 9 years ago, pretty much anything that has to do with losing a love one will make me cry, even worse if it's somehow related to cancer.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    Ubisoft is definitely doing a great job with this game and the post launch support. New Cyclops, this is short but always fun. :) The Lost Tales haven't been that great but it's something to do, but the first part of Legacy of the Blade was pretty good so looking forward to the next chapter...

    I got my 9 wins to unlock the new Ana skin, did it with Mystery Hero which also requires 9 wins a week to unlock 3 loot boxes...so two things at once. I like Mystery Heroes, good ways to practice heroes you're not familiar with, and usually won't pick. Sometimes though you can get a really...

    Not proud of myself, but raged quit last night. :( On my alt account, on Hanamura attack playing Ashe. A few lucky shot, and I kill Pharah, then Mercy trying to rez her. Dynamite into the rest, and kill the Zen, then I die to McCree. I tell my team to push they 5v3 with the other team having...

    Overwatch

    These are changes that look pretty significant, and all of them aimed at countering GOATS. Reaper is going to be annoying as hell now, probably going to be one of the best 1v1 in the game now. I don't think the nerf to defense matrix is enough. It's a step but won't be enough. I think what...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I finished the 3rd Lost Tales of Greece. I’m fairly disappointed with these. I mean they are free and only take about 30 minutes so it’s not like I can complain much but still expected a little more. I also completed Part 1 of the DLC Legacy of the Blade. This was pretty good. It took about...
