Blizzard's Overwatch Catch-All

Couple clips from the Huge Custom game...

This event is annoying me. I've managed to get two legendary skins this week. Neither one was a Halloween skin.

Ditto, I think they changed the logic there. In past events I always seemed to get event specific stuff first.

On the other hand, the event itself seems way easier - I got all the achievements I'd never gotten before on the first try. Dunno if they tweaked it, or if the characters have just creeped up in power (especially torb's new ult is great for pve..)

2 boxes tonight.. 2 legendary skins. Got the Soldier Jason mask one and the Moira whatever skin. So all is not lost...

95% of the time I'm a garbage Hanzo, the other 5% of the time I get Domino's powers from Deadpool 2 and lady luck starts feeling generous

Went to FanExpo Vancouver today and got to see some cool cosplay along with Lucie Pohl (Mercy's voice actress)

Probably my favourite Mercy cosplay I saw today

Was hoping to find a good deal for some OW stuff like last year, but this year was kinda slim (almost everything I saw I could find online or other stores for cheaper). All I picked up was a GCPD patch and a sticker of a dog eating ramen (which I got for free from the artist after my friend bought a bunch of his t-shirts)

Along with Lucie Pohl I got to see Wil Wheaton. A kid who asked him a question during his Q&A made me laugh

Kid: "After you do this stuff....... do you plan to do.... ....like... other stuff?"
Wil Wheaton: Yes.

So, these happened on Saturday, about 20-30 minutes apart, in separate games. Sadly, we lost the super well coordinated first one, due largely to my craptastic coordination on the next two or three bombs. The second secured the win, so that was nice, though it was pretty easy pickings.

That’s awesome Axel!

One of my best Rein 2 rounds. First round was Winston and we could not get the point and just got smoked. Then went Rein the next 2 rounds and had 3-4 Earthshatters ending in the same results as the POTG. The luckiest un-planned charge was enjoyable as I was expecting to fly off map once I grabbed the Zarya. Good things happen when you pocket a Rein.

That may be my favorite Rein map.

I got this game today. Fun so far!

Medmey, what do you use for your video editing to chop the clips down?

I'm on Xbox. Meant to say that.

At work I use Windows Movie Maker since I am still on Win7 There. It is included in Free Windows Essentials on Win7 which I would use cause it is easy quick and gives good video.

At home in Win10 I use a freeware app shotcut since Movie Make is no more. It is pretty easy to use but the extra features lack but its free.

If I ever open up a pharmacy I'd name it "Pharmecy's"

I don't get the reference for the Goats. Usually g.o.a.t is greatest of all time, but not sure how it works in overwatch other than they are riding goats in the picture. Any backstory I am missing?

The pictures are fun.

GOATS is a Contenders League (the tier below Overwatch League) team that popularized the Moira/Brig/Lucio triple heals comp (it's often paired with 2/3 tanks). Their team logo is also a Goat.

Thanks Axel!

Like C9 refers to Cloud Nine leaving the point to lose in a competition (finals?).

Does anyone want an extra key for this? I got one in the Humble Bundle and I'm never gonna use it.

It expires if not claimed by December.

I have a friend that may want it if no one here takes it.

This was so satisfying

Hey all, a local gaming group that I've been going to some of their LAN parties is hosting an online Overwatch tournament Sunday October 28th at 7:00pm EST and is looking for teams. Since it is open to folks playing online, I was hoping to put together a GWJ team to compete.

I have no idea the skill level, as they've had Overwatch tournaments before at the LAN parties, but we've always been as evenly distributed as possible, so each team ends up with one player who has several hundred levels of experience, a couple in the 100's and a couple people who had just installed Overwatch that day. I have no idea the skill level that will be when everyone brings their own team.

So far I have Minotaar, Chartes, Axel, Staygold, and I, and if we can get another, I'll register us all up.

If you're interested, send me a DM with the email address I can fill in the form to register. I'm going to be getting on a plane in a little bit, so I'll be slow in responding and will probably either register us late tonight, or sometime tomorrow if we get enough.

I assume this is PC?

yes

How long does the tournament last? I have a race at 9 that night.
