And if the NHL went back to the old system of conference-based seeding with the division leaders on top, Washington would be playing Columbus in the 2nd round. PIT and CBJ both finished the season with 50 wins, so that’s a difference without distinction.

Genji’s in-combat lines are a little snarkier than Hanzo’s, too. My favorite is when he mutters “And here, I thought we had a plan.” after calling out that the payload has stopped. Hanzo’s call-outs tend to be just “Soldier: 76, but less Clint Eastwood.”

What sticks in my craw about the offside review rule is that it was never intended to spend ten minutes getting into the minuscule gap between a player’s trailing skate and the ice on the blue line. It was because obviously offside breakaways like this were happening.

The obvious answer is, “Samsung and Apple are converging on a similar set of design principles for the 2017 phones they’ve been working on for quite some time, but Samsung got there ‘first’ because the annual product cycles they both march to like clockwork are offset by six months.”

Considering it’s self-referential DLC for a game not available on Xbox, I’d like to think of it as the “Penance For Moneyhatting Rise of The Tomb Raider” Pack. Needs more Phil Spencer for that, though.

No relation, no relation, great uncle, respectively.

Before the Symmetra rework, I was guaranteed to get at least one Tracer, Genji, or D.va on my team who would self-speed-boost out of the spawn room, then immediately call out “I need shields!” You know what? They got their shields when I was damn well ready to apply them: After applying them to the teammates who were…

I have a feeling it’s only going to get worse now that Lucio’s passive AoE range has been reduced to a 10m radius. I had enough trouble with McCrees and Genjis wandering away from the payload when the radius was wider.

It doesn’t help that most American anthem singers embellish the shit out of their performances. Outside of Chicago’s cheering, the closest to a sing-along you get is in Pittsburgh, because Jeff Jimerson consistently belts it straight through at an even, reasonably fast tempo. Even then, the crowd’s vocals aren’t as…

2012 is so hard to evaluate in Fleury’s playoff career, since the entire team spent three games having a Chernobyl-level meltdown after Briere’s offside goal in Game 1. When he had the same problems against the Islanders in 2013 and eventually lost his net to Tomas Vokoun, yinzers retroactively blamed Fleury for every…

Ridiculous footwear will be to Overwatch what humongous big shoulder pads are to World of Warcraft.

Tracer: Wibbley-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

The dialog was almost certainly Reaper. His current condition is supposed to be the result of an early version of Mercy’s Resurrect ultimate that went wrong.

Take it easy on Boone Jenner. He had a rough night.

Boostio: When an Ana player launches a string of profanities over voice chat because Lucio skated in her line of fire.

If you’re playing an MMO that lets you transmog or override your gear’s default appearance, there’s a good chance that the default appearance you’re hiding makes you look like a dweeb unless you have a complete set of armor. (LOTRO medium armor designers, I’m looking at you. I’m also equiping my hunter with a…

Hjalmarsson caught an edge and toppled without being touched (no shame, it happens) and Sheary got 2:00 for Being the Closest Opponent To a Guy Who Fell Down, but if fucking that “the NHL lets Crosby and the Penguins get away with murder” chicken is your thing, you keep doing you.

But if cross-platform play is exclusive to only one platform…

They may have been googling “Sombra”, but Florida will always be a Hanzo main.

I’m keeping an eye on that just to see how much material they get out of Liam’s couch.
