What a year it's been! We can hardly believe it's been a full year of Overwatch. It feels both longer and shorter than a year in various ways. In this show we talk all about the achievement Blizzard and the Overwatch team have...achieved. We also discuss loot boxes (our favorite topic), RNG, new skins & dances, Jeff Kaplan's statement about competitive play, and how Dave has never been more wrong.
WARNING: This episode contains a discussion about gender and sexuality that could be offensive to some listeners. PLEASE STICK AROUND and listen through to the end.
We couldn't ask for better timing! BlizzCon 2023 for our 80th Episode. We talk about all of the information we learned, give our opinions on the announcements, and navigate our way through a potentially disrupting topic.
We're joined this week by special guest (and JB's son), Captain Energon! The Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard is final. The deal is done. Is it a deal with the devil? Or a dance with an angel? Speaking of demons, the Diablo crossover with Overwatch is FIRE! We talk about our opinions on the Halloween event, the Microsoft deal, rant about Blizzard's predatory shop practices, and listen attentively as Triumphy tries to get a refund.
Season 6 of Overwatch 2 is out and brings with it a new hero, a new F2P co-op mode, and the first drop of story missions: Invasion! JB, Umphy, and Jazz talk about how they're feeling about the game, their experiences with the content so far, and what they hope for the future.
JB lets his grouchy old man out but tries to keep him on the chain. He talks about his discouragement with Overwatch as Umphy and Jazz bring understanding and perspective.
We didn't want to see, hear, or speak the evil of Blizzard's recent announcement regarding the cancellation of PVE mode. All of us on the show are pretty ticked. We discuss the decision, what it means, and vent about it. Is this the nail in the coffin for playing Overwatch? Listen and find out!
Happy New Year! We come into 2023 swinging! This episode's topics include some WoW opinions and experiences, tips for new players, Chris Metzen's return to Blizzard, and the new Olympus event starting on January 5th. We discuss how to handle multiple losses along with helping out your team without being a jerk. Stick around for the after show to listen to Dave and JB go over their experiences with purchasing pre-made systems.
The duo of JB and Jazz discuss their experiences with Ramattra, give new players some tips on how to deal with him, revisit the Overwatch Counseling Couch, and go through some of the biggest changes in the 12/6 patch.
This week JB, Jazz, and Wildtree talk about season 2, Ramattra, their feelings about AI, and tease us all about what they'll be talking about in the next episode. Links to some of the things they talk about are below.
Is the Blizz crew listening to the show? Based on the patch notes and the Executive Producer's article, it sure seems like it! We talk about the article and the latest patch notes along with hero changes this week. And Wildtree doesn't join us because HE'S PLAYING DIABLO IMMORTAL WHILE WE RECORD!!
TheBigJB, SSRJazz, Wildtree, and Triumphy are back and all over the place in this episode! We intend to talk about new player strategies, new hero Ramattra, hero balance, playing support, and how to make the Battle Pass better. We do end up getting to all of those, but we cover so much more that we can hardly remember enough to put into this description.
