OverWatch PTR Patch #Hook2.0

By -
  There is a new patch out in the PTR and I am sure you have heard of the new hook for Roadhog.  Some people are excited about it and some hate it.  I have seen some videos of the hook not being able to pull people because a tree is in the way which makes sense but if you hit them before they are behind the tree and they make it to the tree that should not stop you.  They have also patched the pulling people through walls that has been happening lately.  The hook will now pull the enemy in front of you instead of on top and will break off if the Roadhog turns to quickly.  This will stop people from hooking you and throwing you off the side of the map.  I believe that these are all good patches that needed to be made.  The object detection and hit time need to be adjusted but other than that it should all work out better for the game.

  In other patch notes, D.Va is getting a nerf.  Her health armor ratio is now 400/200 and instead of 8 bullets per round doing 3 per bullet she has 11 bullets per round doing 2 damage per bullet.
Ana is also getting a nerf. Her biotic grenade now does 50% of the healing that it did before. This is great for the game because if the team had a good Ana they could heal the tanks easily.  The only other nerf/buff is to Sombra.  Her hack ability is now 0.8 seconds instead of 1 second to help with her not getting hooked all the time.

  Also coming soon is the Emote and Spray wheel.  This is a feature that I am looking forward to cause when you do that perfect Reaper alt you want to be able to throw that perfect emote and spray combo together and sometimes you forget to set that at the beginning.  I believe that little things like this will be what keep the game alive for a long time to come.

Battlefront 2 Pay to Play/ Death of Triple A Games

By -

    Early Access started on Battlefront 2 and the outrage began immediately.  Everyone is saying that main characters of the franchise are locked behind either a pay wall or random luck of the draw with loot crates, that seem to take forever to obtain.  It is sad to see such a promising game get stuck with a pay to win setup.   Pay to win will be the death of the Triple A title and the larger developers if they don't see this.   It is insane to expect people who have already paid $60 for the game you made, to pay another amount of money to unlock content in the game. This model makes people feel like unappreciated and makes the consumer angry which is not a profitable business model.  I am perfectly fine with games that put cosmetics into loot boxes that I have the option to pay for.  This model does not effect the main game play and does not give anyone person a advantage just because they spend more money. Games such as Overwatch, Call of ...

Redskins Refuse to Wear the Color Rush Jersey Tonight

  The fact hat they are the only team that has fussed about this to this point is astounding. But what doesn’t make sense is, they have one of my favorite color rushes.  Theirs is actually enough of a change to make it cool. Unlike some jerseys.  I think they look good but whatever if the team doesn’t want to wear the jersey don’t think you should make them.

The SEC Struggles this Bowl Season

By -
   If you come to the south there is no doubt in anyone's mind down here.  The SEC is the best and for some people the only conference in the NCAA.  They may not even watch other teams unless they are playing a SEC team.     This bowl season is not showing that to be true though.  The SEC is at the moment of writing this 0-3 and with Mississippi State playing at this moment we are looking at 0-4.  I know that we have two teams playing in the playoffs and another team playing Monday as well.     I live in the south and love SEC football but I do not think that we are the best conference.  There have been years that we were the best conference in the NCAA but they are not in previous years.  We have a few good teams a year but the overall conference is below average.
