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 😮💨😮💨
All the Overwatch Animated shorts in release date chronological order <3
Naturally, the 'cinematic trailer' came out first :) ->
The next trailer that came out was the 'We are Overwatch' short:
The next short was the 'Recall' short:
Quickly following that short, was the 'Alive' short:
Not long after that one either, the 'are you with us' Short was released:
Following that was the 'Dragons' short:
Then not even two weeks later the 'Hero' short was released:
Then a few months later 'The Last Bastion' short was released:
A month of two later the next short, 'Infiltration' was released:
After quickly putting out so many shorts, Blizzard took a break just shy of a year before releasing the 'Rise and Shine' short:
The 2021 Archives event took place from April 6th to April 27th.
Like the event last year, we did not get a new brawl. Instead we got three more mission modifiers:
Bulletproof Barriers, is pretty self explanatory. the barriers are bulletproof. Sympathy gains, damaging the enemy heals the enemies around them. (I think I erased this archives even from my memory I'm not gonna lie...) and then Thunderstorm, enemies damage all nearby players. I honestly can't remember if that means the player is damaged from being in the proximity of the enemy, or if the enemy's damage acts like's mercy's ultimate and spreads from character to character.
Well...
At least the skins managed to make a come back this year. Like the first three years, this year they decided to stick to an actual theme, which I think personally works a lot better than just making random skins like they did in 2020.
Once again, we only got 5 skins, but, these skins are great. I think at first glance, they're visually appealing, but then when you take a closer look, you realise that they're pretty historically accurate. Now, I'm no expert on Russian, Japanese, American or French history, (though I'm a bit more familiar with French history since it's so closely related to my own countries in certain periods). But surprise, surprise, they teach British history, in British schools, and boy, oh, boy, does that Tracer skin make me happy.
So, kudos to the design team for this one, amazing skins.
Finally, what you definitly were not waiting for, are the weekly challenges. Again, I'm fairly sure I have all these skins, but I think I've just erased it from my memory.
Well, apart from the Mercy skin, I use that one from time to time. But... honestly, making Zen a submarine? That's a unique choice, and the biker Lucio? Again... not really the look I would have pegged on him, but who am I to talk?
Conclusively, this year got slightly worse than last year, with the skins saving their ass pretty much. But you know what they say, quiet whilst you're ahead, and that's what Blizzard did, because this was the last Archives event. Well done, Blizzard, you got rid of your best event. Bravo.
ITS THE SAME GUY OMG
(Winton has internet issues btw, that's what they're talking about because it made him leave. We still won though)!
This made me laugh 😂
For context the enemy team had a leaver and the 'ow no' happened when they got the first point.
They couldn't push the payload though 😂😂
I can never really tell if I'm getting complimented or insulted when I get remarks like this one...
It was made from the enemy Wrecking Ball towards me after we won.
Like that has to be a compliment right? 😂
It just throws me off when people use the word diff and then follow it with something that's not hate 😂😂
🤖😈🔥
The Porsche sound effects tickle my brain <3 (worth the money).
Hero Mastery
I just logged on to play the new hero Mastery and bro??? I was so hyped for this and it's so stilted and slow? How is this supposed to help me master Mercy at all? I don't know about you but I'm so, so disappointed by this. Like it feels really slowly and clunky and it doesn't flow the way I thought it would. I don't know what to say blizzard... I'm disappointed
Satisfying Sombra pick :)
I've played Overwatch for six years and I need mental help. 21. She/Her.
