Edit: This is amazing. I don't think I could have asked for more, it was perfect. Traumatic flashback and all.

Fury was showing me last weekend some of the DoTA shorts for new characters and I was wondering if/when Blizzard would step up their game and drop some high production value videos. GG

New Reinhardt skins on my way. This, plus a recolour, like other legendary skins. Confirmed purchasable for 1000 credits.

Finally, something to spend my 5k+ credits on!

Like a chump I bought $20 worth of loot boxes, so now that I'm level 200+ I'm starting to accumulate a lot of credits.

Eichenwalde is now available for testing on the PTR. The map has been added to the Quick Play and Competitive rotations. We've also added a Brawl that specifically focuses on Eichenwalde (for those who just want to test the new map).

Two new skins for Reinhardt will also be available on the PTR for your testing.

Thank you.

Nice - I never play PTR though :/

For a sneak peak on the map, I'm willing to waste the extra hdd space.

There's a Dark Souls Easter egg in the new map. It's a bonfire from that game.

There was a massive Overwatch LAN tournament this weekend past, the ESL Atlantic Showdown at Gamescom. Some insane games and an unexpected outcome. I'll try to avoid spoilers, so I've just blind linked the full match VODs below [fair warning: there's a lot of talking around the matches, but you can skip it by previewing the progress bar].

Group B Match 3, Semi Final 1, and the Final are all brilliant and worth watching at the very least.

Sombre fun

I love reading about those ARG's, but they go way over my head so I'll never get involved.

I'm sure the kids on summer vacation are having a blast. Meanwhile, us old people are busy making a living.

Yeah you need to dedicate time to that shit...

I'll just play the game in a mediocre fashion and enjoy doing so.

That's cool. I found a zerg skull but haven't seen anything else yet.

So, I love stuff like this. Some dude showed his mum pictures of all the Overwatch characters and asked her to descrbe them, their abilities, and give them a call sign. There's some hilarious stuff in there, and some remarkably on point insight.

Normally I hate seeing animals dressed up, but that Mercy dog is great.

Poor bastard.

lol, what a noob. A single well placed hook would've taken care of that
