I am not much of a pvper either but Blizzard games are good time wasters and dammit, they do quality work.

 

Once I stopped obsessing about raw victories (heck it's not like it's competitive mode) I found I really enjoy the game for what it is, and it's very fun.

I've been avoiding them regularly due to their insistence on directx 9 games (outside of WoW) and I'm not that interested in MOBA style stuff.  This is the first game of theirs in a really long time I actually wanted, just don't know when I'll be able to get it or how much I'd play it.

Blizzard announced the first new hero to be added to the game since release. Her name is Ana and she's a support sniper.

The ptr server is going up today with a new patch for various buffs and nerfs to heros but I'm not sure if she'll be playable yet. Also they're introducing a hero limit of one hero per side in competitive, which is nice.

I think it's a great game but I hardly ever play it. It's geared towards e-sports and I found that so many nerds play it so much I just get 1 shot over and over. Too much for an old fart like me with slow reflexes.

Had Overwatch from launch it's a typical Blizzard game, a lot of fun to play.  For me it's great I can pick it up and play a few rounds and then come back a few days later and do the same again without worry about falling behind everyone.  Played a few competitive games but they are a whole different league (as expected) to the more casual quick games.  And damn that new map does look good.

Blizzard changes Overwatch "gg ez" messages into something very different

Safe spaces in video games because people can't handle words these days. What's next?

 

Blizzard should take a different approach and tell the people who are offended when people say gg ez the old saying "stick and stones may break my bones but worlds will never hurt me". Geez, grow up people.

 

And no I 've never said gg ez before, I usually don't say anything at the end of a match, good or bad. I just don't like the idea of hiding the big bad words from people who can't handle them.

imho Genji should not be able to dodge and reflect Lucio's soundwave attacks!

Well, as for that, I don't have a problem with it so much as I do with the actual hitbox of his deflect. Have you seen the video of that? The hitbox for it is about the size of Reinhardt's shield. I hope we see an adjustment made to that as well.

Honestly I had no issue with Genji before. Maybe his ult was a bit too long to counter but I really didn't had much trouble dealing with Genji players.

Well it just depends really, at rank 55+ in competitive on pc he was easily wiping teams and it came down to which team had the better genji.

 

Blizzard has they don't want any one hero to have that big of an impact and be a solo carry which is what he's been. It's a team game after all and a team should depend on each of it's members to win. Besides that his 3 hit animation cancel combo was a bug that needed to be fixed.

Is it just me or the quality of the graphics in game have just gotten better (and I'm not talking about the new aesthetic changes in the menu).

 

It's as if the graphics have gotten crisper, more real, and the field of view has become wider.

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.
