While the Blizzcon 2017 trailer did a great job at showing off the healer mid-combat, Blizzard has also released another video that gives a more thorough look at Moira’s backstory. The short story video below details how Moira believed her unconventional research methods were held back by Overwatch, though she evidently found others more accepting of her dramatic practices. Continuing her research on how to alter human DNA, Moira has made massive progress from her advances in genetic alteration, crafting a fine balance between both restoring health and leaching it away....

As reported by GameSpot, Kaplan admitted to Blizzard’s development team being somewhat lazy in regards to doing actual research prior to the creation of Overwatch’s Dorado map, with the director revealing that the studio simply went to Google Images to find inspiration. As a mater of fact, Kaplan even provided the precise search terms used to look for the exact style Blizzard wanted for the map – “colorful Mexican town,” to be specific –and it led to the team deciding upon a design similar to the Italian city of Manarola in the image found further below from Flickr user Fihliwe....

Sitting down with Newsbeat, Stacey Sher, co-president of Activision Blizzard Studios, says the company is considering more franchises, but they’re taking their time. The company is focused on quality, not rushing titles out the door, and that’s encouraging. Unfortunately, at this moment in time, an Overwatch TV series is just an idea being batted around the studio, but it certainly has a strong chance of becoming a reality. We’re going to pick the best medium be it film, TV or shorts – the one that best serves each franchise individually....

The school offers the basics on how to dress: bushy eyebrows, white beard, suit that can cost $1,000. Modern Santas also are taught to go easy at the trough–and they’re put through exercise and dance regimens. But what to do when Junior pees on Sa nta’s lap? ““Always keep a towel on your knee,” says one student. Then there are serious ’90s scandals, like Santa who embezzles or Santa who fondles....

MORE: Hairston agent not certified | Hairston addresses fight, car swap | Hairston ‘minor altercation’ But Morrow is not registered with the aforementioned states as a sole proprietor. There also is “no record of a Juan Morrow in (the NBPA’s) files, nor is there record of an applicant by that name,” Robert Gadson, NBPA Director of Player Security and Agent Administration, told Sporting News. UMG is not approved by the Secretary of State to operate as a business in the locations it either has a client or claims to have an office, which likely means the deal between Hairston and Morrow is not legally binding....

Located in Tulum on the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Casa Magna has been bought by New York real estate firm Thor Equities Group who will be turning Escobar’s former Mexican hideaway into a 40-room luxury resort offering a spa and high-end shops, Bloomberg reports.

Pachter’s response was prompted by a question regarding the rise of 4K televisions and VR technology and what their increasing prominence means for console gaming, as both technologies demand the highest resolutions possible for the best experience. Despite a previous report that suggested Netflix believed 4K PS4 and Xbox One consoles were coming last year, it doesn’t appear that will be the case, which has caused gamers to wonder whether or not a new console cycle would have to be released faster than usual to support the higher resolution....

This time, however, Michael Pachter has spoke out in regards to an issue that has been blowing up the video game news world. Of course we’re talking about the Mass Effect 3 ending, and more specifically the incredible fan response that has arisen because of it. Despite promising a conclusion that would be satisfying, and would take into account all of players’ decisions across the three games, BioWare delivered something that a lot of fans felt was pretty empty....

Although the highly anticipated follow-up to Treyarch’s most successful Call of Duty entry released on November 13th, it reportedly moved some 8.5 million units during its first few weeks of release. This number is, however, slightly below the opening month tally for Modern Warfare 3, Infinity Ward’s 2011 COD effort. Cowen & Company’s Doug Creutz, on the other hand, expects sales for Black Ops 2 to come in at around 7....

Pull your lower jaw downward to stretch out your cheeks and give yourself more air to work with. You should feel a short flow of air leave your mouth while you say this, even though you aren’t exhaling. If you know Russian, a certain vulgar three-letter word beginning with Х works even better.

The former vice president held the nearly hour-long event to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on women. Despite facing increasing pressure to address Reade’s allegation amid new developments, the former vice president did not speak about it. In March, Reade accused the presumptive Democratic nominee of shoving her up against a wall and penetrating her with his fingers when he was serving as a senator from Delaware. The alleged assault happened in 1993, when Reade was working as a staffer in his office....

Players can pick one of four heroes like Junker Queen, Sojourn, Ashe, and Kiriko, as they make their way through the town fighting off Omnic zombies and various bosses summoned by the Bride. Players have various tasks to complete as well as new seasonal challenges to unlock ranging from simply winning the game mode to some more specific ones like Photozomb which tasks players with striking a pose during the Bride’s introduction....

The Junker Queen is a character who has existed in the periphery of Overwatch lore for some time. After several hints, leaks, and the eventual reveal, the Junker Queen is finally ready to take center stage. RELATED: Overwatch 2 is Getting Rid of Loot Boxes The cinematic, titled “The Wastelander,” shows off the story of Odessa “Dez” Stone.

While Cassidy received several changes when transitioning to Overwatch 2, his Magnetic Grenade seems to be gaining the most attention from the community. Replacing Flashbang from the original Overwatch, this new ability functions as a sticky grenade that can attach to opponents when thrown and causes 131 total damage when detonated. However, some players think that the ability too easily homes in on opponents and could use more fine-tuning....

Haitian medic Baptiste joined the roster in February 2019 with a skill set that rewards well-timed healing during close firefights. Regenerative Burst heals Baptiste and nearby allies with a brief burst of health followed by more health over time. Immortality Field, which was briefly even more powerful during the Overwatch 2 beta, prevents allies within the area of effect from dying. The situation that sets up the video clip involves a Baptiste out of range for Regenerative Burst and with an Immortality Field that is on cooldown....

For all the excitement surrounding the online game, there are seemingly no shortage of those who would rather ruin the experience for many....

Overwatch 2 monetization has been widely criticized for its inflated prices and the inability for players to earn much of the Overwatch Coins premium currency by actually playing the game. Overwatch 2 is free-to-play, and so it has to have some kind of monetization in order to stay afloat, but many would agree that the way it currently handles things is not the right move. In fact, some fans of the game have decided to boycott Overwatch 2 microtransactions until Blizzard addresses the issues....
