This special Thanksgiving episode's topic may be a little heavy for some, but hopefully helpful for all. We're joined by Jerry aka Barnacules to talk about mental health and have a good long talk about taking care of yourself.
Is it ashes to ashes for Ashe? Or What about B.O.B.? We answer these questions, share our opinions on her release, some info from BlizzCon, upcoming changes to Brigitte and Doomfist as well as all kinds of other stuff.
It's time to start the music! It's time to START THE SHOW NOW! Jeff, Christi, and JB have a lot of fun talking about Junkenstein's Revenge, upcoming comp and OWL stuff, and some amazing community contributions.
This week we're joined by long-time fan "Jazz" (aka Jeff) for discussions about the latest Dev Update including all the changes being made to Torbjorn, Pharah, McCree, and so many more. Lots of great discussion this week.
Blizzard! Why dost thou messeth with our heroes? Torbjorn changes? Really? Plus our guesses at what's going to be unveiled at GamesCom 2018, tips for playing Hammond, and endorsements making better players!
This episode is a hot one. A sexy fem-McCree cosplay got us wondering: why do cosplayers dress sexy if they don't want to be looked at? Who is sexy cosplay for? Do we have to cater to the fanboys anymore? Plus we talk about how we're liking recent changes and other game stuff.
We make guesses on who hero 28 is...meanwhile Kaplan is preparing a surprise for us. Is it Hammond or the Junker Queen? And what's happening with the latest patch? We discuss it all!
We visit the Overwatch Counseling Couch once again and somehow end up talking about Gary Coleman or a Coleman grill. Endorsements, LFG, mood forms, and more!
In preparation for our upcoming lore episode, Sarah challenges JB and Christi to guess the ages of our heroes. We also talk about upcoming changes to Hanzo and Sombra; changes to Lucio's voice lines, and talk about an awesome fan-made Overwatch trailer.
It's time for all the Overwatch smurfs to be dealt with. And Hanzo's scatter arrow too! Lishadra and TheBigJB discuss these issues along with commentary on another Dev Update.
The 2018 Lunar New Year event has arrived. We talk about the new map, the changes to CTF, along with a couple new features that released as well!
The crew discusses what our history is with Blizzard products along with a recent developer update about Mercy and toxicity in the community.
Cosmetic updates are here! And they're in normal loot boxes! We talk about our favorites, Blizzard World, and some D.Va strategies.
So much happened in 2017 and so much is going to happen in 2018. We talk about Jeff Kaplan's developer update, all the things that we received from Overwatch in 2017 and what we're hoping for in 2018.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! We're discussing one trick ponies, Blizzard policies, Moira in comp, and the latest Overwatch comic.
Winter Wonderland is here and we're rating our favorite skins, talk about the new Yeti Hunter Event, and discuss role choices. Is it better to pick what your team needs or what you're good at playing?
Hopefully they're the same thing?
It's our 50th episode and we announce the winner of our giveaway. We also announce the new intro and outro as well as a couple other goodies. And we talk about why Doomfist sucks.
If that seems like clickbait, you're right.

Christi and Sarah are back! Listen for details on how to win prizes for our 50th episode, opinions on Moira, and Winter Wonderland predictions like what costumes we think we'll see, pricing, and special maps or events.
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat!
Stay for the exciting 50th episode contest announcement toward the end!
JB flying solo this week because Sarah has holiday prep to take care of and Christi's voice is shot. He reviews the interesting information from the the Overwatch Archive panel from Blizzcon 2017, great insights from the Overwatch Concept Art book, and why he is sick and tired of character "shipping".
Oh, Blizzard! How we love thee! This week we're talking all about what we got right and what we were off on in our BlizzCon predictions; and about what Blizzard and games mean to us.
Christi also enlightens us on the connection between Lucio and the frogs! Here's the article she cites: https://twero.tumblr.com/post/167029478311/lúcio-and-the-muiraquitã
We start off talking about the end of the Halloween Terror event then suddenly realize it's the show before BlizzCon! After covering the gist of many of the topics we switch to our predictions for BizzCon 2017.

Is Mercy a must-have following the changes? We feel like that's true. And what are these rumors of changes to Genji and Junkrat on the PTR? We once again discuss the downside of making rapid changes. We also dig into the Halloween event, what Mei's skin is all about (jiangshi from Chinese mythology), and Mercy concept art!

The Meat
- Tip of the Week: don't be a jerk! The developers of our fave game shouldn't be afraid to talk to/with the people who play their games. Terrorizing anyone is NOT OK.

- Is the Junkertown Queen going to be a playable character?
- A particularly prolific system abuser and Blizzard's actions.
