Archives Event - Part 4

The 2020 Archives event took place March 12th to April 2nd.

Unlike the previous three events, there was not a new brawl released this year. However, they released something new, Challenges.

Each challenge was assigned to a specific brawl, if I'm remembering that correctly. In the 'Molten Core' Challenge the enemies would drop Tobjorn's ult in a smaller amount when they died. In Close Quarters, enemies a certain distance away were invincible. Finally, in storm raging, when an enemy died they would drop 'rage orbs' which were then absorbed by their allies.

Don't get me wrong, these are all fun game modes, and I enjoyed playing each and everyone to get the achievements. But, it's not a new brawl and I have to deduct points for that obvious fact. I can acknowledge that it probably took a decent amount of work to design and execute these brawls, but I just can't say they're as good as a new brawl.

Moving on, we have the skins they released this year. Keeping in mind, we got 7 skins in the first 2 years, and then 5 in the last year.

This year is another 5 skins. All great skins, let's be honest, I love the Sniper Ana skin and the Casual (don't think that's it's actual name but can't remember off the top of my head) Pharah skin. I've used the Zarya skin a lot as well, and my duo used the King Jamison skin a lot in her time. The Hog skin is great, I just think he has better skins that you can use. Keep in mind, this is completely my opinion, but I do think that the skin quality has dropped from the previous year.

It also appears that 5 skins in the new standard :/

Next, there were the weekly challenges, which is the first time they've been seen in a Archives event. Here they are:

Bish, bash, bosh. Not really very impressive skins. I mean the Sym one stands out a lot and I like how bold it is. The Torbjorn one is pretty basic, it looks like a base game skin in all honesty, and there's just something that I don't like about this Mei skin. But, I know that it got a pretty positive reception from the community at the time.

So, basically, the weekly challenges are new, but the mission challenges hardly replace a new brawl. The skins are still good, they're holding on still, but I can almost feel the quality slipping away.

Hello folks and on today's episode of I complain about Overwatch Lore, may I present Gabriel Reyes' son?!

And his freaking wife????

We're introduced to them during the 'Code or Violence' short story and we don't really get to know much about them, other than they met after the Omnic crisis and she found another partner after Gabriel Reyes was pressured dead.

They mention a 6 year old son in the short story and that has to be the kid in the picture, no doubt.

But it bring to question, when was he referencing his sons sixth birthday? How many years before Overwatch was disbanded was that? Presuming it was the last one before Overwatch disbanded he was be 11 in the current Overwatch timeline. Why have we heard nothing about a little Reyes running around in the world? Why are there NO in game voice lines about his son?? Or wife????

And his wife! How did they meet? When were they married? How long were they together? Does she still mourn him and want him back or has she accepted things and moved on with her new partner?

Give me more Blizzard I beg 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Noonespecial x Danthe2nd

Literally THE GAME AFTER my last post, I roll into this game, queued as support, and straight out of the door, this guy pops into the chat and says, "U may be noonespecial but ur special to Danthe2nd."

Of course since this is Overwatch so Noonespecial responds with the original "Fk U Dan."

Then the game begins and Noonespeical (Our second support on Zen) immediately gets annihilated by Danthe2nd (Opposite DPS). A second later, "Jk ily." Pops into the chat. We're losing at this point, but I couldn't care less because this is the funniest thing that's happened to me all day.

A few moments later, UnusedTuktuk (Who was speaking on behalf of Danthe2nd) replies and says, "He says he's scared of affection". To which Noonespecial replies with a "<3." Then, "Sorry friend."

Which at this point, I'm disappointed, please entertain us, don't apologise. We finish the first round with them taking the point, and load into the second point. Noonespecial put's a ":'(" in the chat because he's been aired by Danthe2nd, and then JUST AS THE ROUND BEGINS he gets a reply of, "He likes feet kicking him."

Needless to say, there was no more conversation after that, and I'm sure the rest of the players felt just as awkward as I. Who's to actually know if this UnusedTuktuk was actually communicating for Danthe2nd, or if poor, unassuming Danthe2nd was suddenly labelled with a foot fetish by strangers; or if he actually does have a foot fetish. Danthe2nd never actually said anything during the exchange himself, so I guess we'll never know.

We lost the game, as well :(

Then a couple of months later they released the 'Honour and Glory' short:

Then another year or so later the 'Shooting Star' short was released:

A couple of months later the 'Reunion' short was released:

The the infamous OW2 trailer 'Zero Hour' was released, casually three years before they were ready to release the thing:

The first Overwatch 2 short 'The Wastelander', was released a astounding three years later, with no filler shorts in between:

Shortly after the 'Kiriko' short was released:

And last but not least, the newest trailer, released in the summer of 2023 is the 'Calling' short:

Fingers crossed there will be more shorts in the future though and it won't be the last one for long lol
