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!

Thanks to spankyhunter for sending us stuff via Twitter that he thought would be good for the show!
What a year it's been! We can hardly believe it's been a full year of Overwatch. It feels both longer and shorter than a year in various ways. In this show we talk all about the achievement Blizzard and the Overwatch team have...achieved. We also discuss loot boxes (our favorite topic), RNG, new skins & dances, Jeff Kaplan's statement about competitive play, and how Dave has never been more wrong.
Special guest Captain Energon joins the guys this week to talk all things Overwatch! They discuss upcoming changes, lootboxes, cool community stuff, a possible Overwatch Anniversary Event, and the excellent banter between Wendy's and Overwatch twitter accounts.
In this week's show we learn how much Brandon will pay for foreskins...er we mean FOUR skins. The guys vent their spleens about the current lootbox and event price system, gush over HotS 2.0, discuss new maps and assault map changes, and talk quite a lot about competitive mode.
The latest event is incredible! And not necessarily focused on a particular season. JB and Brandon sing their praises and also talk about how much they'd be willing to pay for skins they want instead of loot boxes. Especially the fan-created Betrayer skin for Reaper.
