Welcome Back!




It has been a few weeks, but after Chris's birthday, and Frostee spending time at DragonCon we are back fresh and ready to bring you the latest in the Overwatch universe! There has been a severe lack of official news, maybe as Blizzard preps for BlizzCon, or maybe for other reasons. Still, we have lots to talk about, and here are some of the topics this week...

  • Is the beta soon or not? 
  • Lawbreakers, a challenger appears in the market
  • We spotlight McCree
  • And more!


As we said, this week we spotlight McCree, who was once a member of the Deadlock gang (not the Dreadlock Gang, as Frostee made the mistake of saying) who is a rough and tumble cowboy dispensing justice!




We are also EXTREMELY honored that we will be taking part in World of Podcasts this year at BlizzCon! Con Before the Storm is a fantastic party celebrating the community that surrounds these games, and we are excited to be taking part in the show as Overwatch panelists!
