Ok, I got this: Hanzo killed Genji when they were young. Mercy saves Genji for some reason. Genji and Mercy become founding members of Overwatch while Hanzo is turning his back on his family and giving up the sword to take up the bow, becoming a mercenary or whatever. The Dragons short takes place 20 years or so…

Kotaku has been very upfront about when they get blacklisted. The only one I remember is Bethesda due to...IIRC, breaking news before it was approved. But you can google Kotaku’s own articles.

OK. I’m in for this as long as relatives aren’t shipped. But I’m so confused by Genji lore - whyyyyyyyyyyyyy would Hanzo kill him after he was full-fledge Genji and a fellow member of Overwatch? Also I read the lore says Genji was lazy back in the day? A ninja isn’t lazy by definition. So my natural conclusion was…

Overwatch is a great community but everyone who used mics on pug teams, which aren’t many, was a jerk or nails on chalkboard staticy noise. So I turned off voice chat.

:D

Well, she’s not the only one by far. I’m not good at being coy so I’d probably go with “LethalPoosy” if I were to change.

I didn’t either...I’m considering becoming the 45th iteration of “Deadly Kitten.” So tempting!

Currently D.Va or Hanzo, they are the most fun for me. I’ve played enough that I can switch to whatever we need and I don’t get bored, but I gravitate towards D.Va for supermegafunness and Hanzo because I like his character from the Dragons short and also his ult is cool and everyone knows it.

Torbjorn is surprisingly OP if people use all his abilities.

I’ve seen the case made that it’s a Reaper map. Seems true enough - I’m pretty noob at Reaper but I do very well on that map. But everyone expects the last minute death blossom now - or possibly I am extremely obvious moving into place - so I play DVa instead.

ERP (erotic role-play) has been going on in gaming since the beginning of...multi-player gaming. It can have very elaborate world-building and rules but it always sounds boring to me.

Exactly how much did Metzen influence each game? The info is very conflicting.

That was exactly my thought too.

Welcome to Jezebel.

Well, quick plays are cartoonishly bad right now so...I guess? I mean if you know to stand near the payload to keep it moving and to heal more than one person as Mercy, you’re good to go.

Nope.

I saw a POTG in which Pharah got one kill and then shot herself against a railing. After that I figured POTGs weren’t really serious.

You got 2 recs and I got 1...I know there are more women gamers on Kotaku but I think they are arguing with the men in their threads, which are at that top.

World of Warcraft gave audio cues in raids too. One time doing a new raid with a new guild for my hordie in WoD I asked what the audio queue for a boss’ specific ability was and only one person knew what I was talking about. I found that shocking. But that explained why the person with the most grating voice was…

Subnautica is fantastic. Highly recommend. It’s beautiful and has a hint of a storyline too, which makes me crave more. The survival aspect has a fitting sense of urgency but it’s not hard. At some point you run out of stuff to do but it’s still fun to travel around. I’ve come across maybe three bugs and reported them…
