Welcome Back!

This week in Overwatch™ has been completely mindblowing. The closed beta has now started, and brings with it a flurry of new information, analysis, and content.

Both of us have been invited to be part of the beta test, and this week we will be sharing our experiences with you! There is also a lot of other news, as we move to weekly content and have BlizzCon right around the corner. Here are some of the topics we talk about this week...

• Beta has arrived!
• Already a new hero teased!
• Aliens? 
• Data from the beta client is mined,
• And much more!

Both of us will be streaming content now that we are able to get in the game! Be sure to look for announcements on our Twitter and Facebook pages, as well as our own personal pages! You can find Chris's twitch channel HERE, and Frostee's channel HERE. Be sure to follow so you will know when we are on the air!

OverCast Episode 13: The Dreadlock Gang!

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!

We will have more details as the time approaches. For now be sure to check out their website for more info!

OverCast Episode 12: Once and for all!

Welcome Back!!!

There has not been a whole lot of news since last time. We dug through interviews, and struggled with google translate versions of German fansites even, but nothing new confirmed. Here are some of the topics that came up this week though...

• Hero specific keybinds will be happening
• We put to rest the idea that Overwatch is somehow a MOBA
• Should there be a gender choice for each hero?
• And much more!

This week's spotlight is Symmetra, and you can hear about her story as well as her abilities as we talk about her.

We hope you enjoyed this episode! Chris will be unable to be here in two weeks, and Frostee will be at DragonCon that weekend, and that means we will be bumping the next show back a bit. We will be back on Sept. 12th at 4pmEDT/1pmPDT on our twitch channel!
