The Overwatch League season 2 starts this evening and I am very excited to start watching the pros play on stage. The off-season was long but we are back at it again! This year there are eight new teams and many new players. The moment the Hangzhou Spark announced their team colors and logo, I…
Other Games
Overwatch: Irish Hot Chocolate
Moira is one of my favorite characters to play in Overwatch. I really enjoy playing a support that can hold her own in the battlefield. One of my favorite parts of her design is balancing my healing and damage output. If you don’t participate in combat, you will reduce how long you can heal. It…
Wizard of Legend: Raspberry Cookies
Hahahahaha. It’s too late to be getting cold feet… because I’m about to freeze you in your tracks! I’m ready for the test! My Tracer Barrage took down your minions without much trouble! Ooooh, a challenge? I’m shivering in fear! Well, whenever you are ready. Just as long as you cut it out with the…
BlizzCon and Lucio-Oh’s
This year was the first year Jeff and I attempted to get BlizzCon tickets. Since tickets can be purchased in sets of four, we had two other friends join us. Getting the tickets was a little tricky because three of us were out of town on the first round of sales. On the second day,…
Pillars of Eternity – Darkest Rauatai Cookies
There’s a knock on the door. “Finally,” you say to yourself grumpily, “I ordered that pizza over an hour ago.” You get up and walk to the door and open it, finding a man with a red hat and a disinterested look holding your order. “You uh, order?” “YES, a while ago actually.” You reach…
Overwatch: Nano Cola
In the latest Overwatch animated short, Shooting Star, we finally get a glimpse into the past of our favorite MEKA pilot, D.Va. After a narrow victory defending South Korea from the Gwishin Omnics, there is a sudden unexpected attack that forces D.Va, the only MEKA pilot available, to defend her country by herself. Outnumbered but…
Rune Factory 4: Curry Udon
One of my favorite farming simulation series is Rune Factory. This was one of my first experiences with a farming simulator that had a bit of dungeon exploring. Since this game came out, it has influenced many games in the genre to adapt these additional mechanics. Of course, my typical focus on these games is…
Overwatch League: Boston Uprising Popsicles
I finally reached the end of the Overwatch League themed popsicles project! Sure, next season will add a few more teams but for now we wrap up the project with the Boston Uprising. This was a team that at the start of the season was thought to be a bottom tier team. They proved the…
Overwatch League: London Spitfire Popsicles
During the Overwatch League season, I have turned to my corgi, Kanji, to predict the results of the upcoming matches. For each match, I told him that each of my hands represented a team and then he would give me a paw for his thoughts. His record isn’t 100% but I’d say he could probably…
Overwatch League: New York Excelsior Popsicles
Yesterday the Overwatch League playoffs kicked off. The New York Excelsior were the Atlantic division leaders and have a bye this week so they have not started playing. When the Overwatch League was first announced and the NYXL revealed their team logo, I laughed out loud. The team’s name and logo were both very boring…
