Death is an inevitable part of Overwatch.
Sometimes I step onto a Junkrat trap and eat a grenade, sometimes D.Va drops an ultimate right on my head and I explode, sometimes I get pulled off a cliff by a gravity-defying feat of technology.

‘Battle for Azeroth’ has the best leveling in ‘World of Warcraft’ history

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth came out of the gate strong. So strong, in fact, that it may be the best expansion in World of Warcraft‘s 14-year history — and it has a chance to keep that title as long as it doesn’t lose momentum.
I have put a few dozen hours into World of Warcraft‘s seventh expansion since its launch on U.S. servers on the night of Aug. 13 and it’s been some of the most fun I’ve had leveling since I started playing WoW in 2005.
Full disclosure on my time with Battle for Azeroth thus far: I leveled a Horde character to 120 and completed all three Zandalar storylines plus put about 20 hours into end-game content. I have also leveled an Alliance character partway through Kul Tiras and completed portions of the Stormsong Valley and Tiragarde Sound storylines. My only experience in Drustavar has been through the eyes of the Horde thus far. Read more…

With its seventh expansion, World of Warcraft not only went back to its Horde vs. Alliance roots, it brought almost everything back down to earth for the first time in a very long time. What a great decision.
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth — so far — seems like the perfect new adventure for the 14-year-old game. I’ve put nearly a dozen hours into the new expansion since it launched Monday night and it’s made me realize how much WoW needed to take a breather from all the world-threatening, space-faring action it’s been dishing out for years.

For a sizeable chunk of my life, I played World of Warcraft too much. Way too much.

Overwatch‘s 27th hero is finally here, and her name is Brigitte Lindholm, daughter of Torbjörn.
Brigitte is a new tank-ish support hero with a shield and a flail who can deal out damage as well as heal her teammates and increase their armor. Here’s a breakdown of her abilities:
-
Rocket Flail – Brigitte’s melee weapon has an extended range, enabling her to strike multiple enemies with a single swing.
-
Repair Pack – Brigitte throws a Repair Pack that can heal an ally. Any healing over that ally’s maximum health provides them with armor instead.
-
Whip Shot – Brigitte throws her flail a long distance, dealing damage and knocking an enemy away from her.
-
Barrier Shield – Brigitte deploys a frontal energy barrier to absorb a limited amount of damage.
-
Shield Bash – Once her Barrier Shield is deployed, Brigitte can dash forward to stun an enemy.
-
Inspire – When Brigitte hits enemies with her flail, she also heals nearby allies over time. Read more…
