I'm gonna go see this in MX4D. I'm curious what they will use for the "smell-o-vision" part of the experience. My guess is "wet orc"

Sombra is supposed to be a healer of some sort isn't she?

Having played on both PC and PS4 I offer up the view that PC players may be more skilled, but as a rule PS4 players are better at the actual game. It is rare when I play on the PS4, even in a pick up group, that people aren't actually trying to work the objective. Meanwhile PC players are far...

It is hard as fuck to get POTG as Mercy. I did a 5 person rez, then pulled out the sidearm and capped two of the other team and POTG still went to a bastion who shot three people as a turret...

I find myself playing support more often than not simply because not having Mercy or Lucio on your team versus one that does is huge. I'm not sure of Zenyatta as a "healer" as he seems to require a great deal more attention than even Mercy does.

Its been awhile since I played, but TF2 didn't hamstring while holding the intelligence did they? I thought they just made use of careful geography to mitigate things. Then again it would be harder for Overwatch as they fully intend to expand the roster over time.

I am a bit surprised that there isn't a CTF map variant since those seemed especially popular in Team Fortress 2 (capture the intelligence!!)

I find I can't play more than 2-3 games before I need to put this down and go do something else... but I always come back after a bit. I'm not quite sure what is it that drives me to enjoy it only in isolated bursts.

Not much more than a teaser, but very much looking forward to this summer distraction.

It does fall into the "why the fuck do we care?" aspect of storytelling endemic to a work like this. Given that there are tons of potential areas that could be shown, the fact that they choose to show this bit means it has some greater significance. Then again Dorne...so maybe not.

Its because John Barrowman fills their quota of "people who can actually act". Everytime I think back to this past season I get just a little bit more angry. Its like they didnt even have a clue as to where they were going or what they were doing at any point along the way until they were...

Patched and logged in, did a couple of the missions to get "intel" and then decided to give the new Incursion a whirl... I do not claim to be the best player in the world, nor even particularly skilled but great moons of Mongo there are some terrible paint lickers in the gaming-verse. The pain...

If we don't get some mother fucking T-spheres tonight I will be pissed. Edit: well that was terrible.

A couple reviews have been from people who have played both the original strategy games and WoW and those aren't any less harsh in their assessment. In some respect I think they are more critical because they have a sense of what the movie could be based on the source material rather than just...

They could also use Flashpoint to get Supergirl onto the same Earth as the rest of the series.

Watt is a unit of power, not energy. So presumably he needed both of them each running 500 laps per second rather than him doing 1000 laps per second...which he may not have been able to do.

Jay Garrick... kinda saw that coming. What I didn't see was

Amazon has dropped the price of this by $11, at least on consoles, and even went so far as to process a "pre-order price guarantee" for it, so with the existing 20% discount for physical copies I'm going to net ~$38 for the PS4 version. Not too shabby.

Today is the early release of the 26th Battleborn : Alani Seems like a decent enough support, similar to Ambra in that the healing is more of a fire-and-forget rather than a constant application like Miko I'll give her a whirl. During the Overwatch Open Beta I actually enjoyed...

Kinda wild that both Cassidy and Tulip were on Misfits (as was Ramsay Bolton). That show was a good incubator for millennial acting talent in Britain.

So the new Captain America #1 is out this week and has the twist that

Intriguing, but I dont know if anyone I know is going to even log into the Division anymore. Not with warm weather + Overwatch

I do like how, like TF2, they give useful roles to people who cannot hit the broad side of a barn with a shotgun. I've been focusing on Lucio, Torbjorn, D.Va. and Symmetra and at least feel rather effective.

All y'all who actually have skills need to rank the fuck up so I can be feeble with my kin

Connecting to battle.net seems problematic

Got the disc version for PS4 due to Amazon Prime discount. Anyway I popped it in thinking it might need a day-one update patch of somekind... 10.68 GB and 5 hours left at current speed, which is noteworthy in its slowness.

Yeah not only do they do a repeat of the pilot next week, but they were advertising that they would have a different cast of characters on the "post-show" live interview segment for next week. The best I can hope for is that they think people will build buzz about it during the week and their...

Yeah Target had a big push for this in their weekly circular as well as in-store displays. They had them for sale as soon as the place opened up this AM along with a sign reinforcing that the servers were not live until later today.

Cassidy is spot-on. I was surprised they took their time with this first episode / pilot to really ease into the characters.

Well all the others feature multiple characters. Recall = Winston and Reaper, Alive = Widowmaker and Tracer, Dragons = Hanzo and Genji... so it is a bit odd that Soldier 76 is the only character in "Hero".

The Phantom Menace bugs me for a number of reasons, but among them is the fact that I actually like the core story element of Palpatine being a xenophobic political genius that acted as a puppetmaster to engineer the crisis.

I think it is very ballsy to launch globally at the exact same time. Granted a game like Overwatch has very little need to access a centralized database as there is no "character information" and all they have is cosmetic bling that is awarded exclusively in the lobby. If they have segregated...

Well that was something I wasn't expecting... makes some sense though given the Children.

Life-size Overwatch action figures discovered worldwide | Polygon Those look pretty cool. Here's hoping they make regular size versions of those figures!

While I can't begrudge the Live team for creating a narrative around the Fallen / House of Wolves / Crota etc. I would really like to continue what, as I see it, is the main plot involving the Traveller, the Speaker, what the hell the Darkness is, what happened to Humanity's Golden Age etc.

Something which just occurred to me, although perhaps it occurred to others ages ago, is that the First Order is still comprised of exclusively humans and seems to adhere to the extreme xenophobia of the Empire.** The leader, Snoke, is almost certainly NOT human though and so the whole thing...

Well the finale was fairly predictable. Glad we got rid of the hawks and Firestorm finally got to transmute stuff (which was originally going to happen in the Flash season finale last year but they had to cut it out). The ending however...

I think this just shows that the gaming public would have been receptive to Titan had they managed to overcome the "what's the game??" issue. It was likely a large issue because part of the attraction of Overwatch is becoming one of those characters and not generic player01 who occupies their...

With all the focus on background story elements and overall world-building/look of the Overwatch setting they have certainly left the door open for other types of games set in the Overwatch universe. I could EASILY see them use the Overwatch characters / abilities in an XCOM-type mission sim or...

I had a feeling they were introducing him to be the new big bad. I suppose we will end up with LMD Ward now...
