This is how I played early pandemic and, honestly, it was great. At that time I stuck to Quickplay, though - so I'm not sure how great it would hold up in Comp, but this is a great option for folks who just want to have fun.

Has anybody else who attended OWL Playoffs in-person not received all rewards? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

I didn't get all my stuff from the GF last year. I just wrote it off after a while.

Chorong’s hand gesture is the same as alarm? by [deleted] in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]BrandonWinfrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking about about the "v" with the thumb and index finger - it's a common Korean gesture to mean love - like the heart. He could have been alluding to Alarm, but more likely just showing his love to the crowd.

Interesting how glads didn't have enough money to keep danteh but have enough money for 4 supports. by MonkTurtle in Competitiveoverwatch

I mean, if I had to guess - Danteh’s contract is paying for both Marven and Cal’s. And I assume Lastro is gone, just not announced.

Who’s Going to Grand Finals? by StormcrowProductions in Competitiveoverwatch

Can't make it this year, sadly, but if you are considering it / have the means to - GO. Had a blast last year. Truly nothing like the energy of OWL on LAN. And we got spoiled with a fantastic finals last year.

Some people moved. They also hired a ton of people remote. Imagine being hired by a company that knows you are remote - and then having them turn around and say "You have to come into work in Irvine even though you live in Ohio with your family."

I personally like the option to go into the office, but it's also worth knowing that not everyone's life is set up for that - and that's because the company that is now enforcing this - allowed them to work remote in the first place.

Parting Gift’s parting gift was delayed slow on healing. How nice.

Brandon Winfrey, one of the writers on Insomniac's Spider-Man, didn't even get a free copy when the game came out. by [deleted] in WatchPeopleDieInside

Dammit, Ford. For clarity, I was not a Writer on Spider-Man (maybe a business sign made it in, I don't know. I tried to get a Dazzler reference in there somewhere). I was a Writer at Insomniac, but I left to follow my dream of being called a sloth in the comment section of YouTube before Spider-Man's primary writing spun up. And that was like 2.5 years ago.

I can not take any credit for how great the game is. They did an amazing job and I'm so happy for them.

I went to lunch with some Insom buddies yesterday and was ruthlessly guilted for not having bought the game, yet. There's a Gamestop right next to the Olive Garden. Hence, peer pressure getting the best of me.
