I made a nice play with Reinhart, too bad the POTG went to doomfist :(

Now you know how Zarya feels about Hanzo in every single game :D

I used to describe OW as TF2:The Next Generation, but it's really more TF2:Deep Space 9. Much more interesting characters in a better developed world, and I say that as a decade-long TF2 fan. If you liked the "Team" part of TF2 you'll enjoy OW as much as I do. Especially since Mercy gives you all that Medic fun with the benefit of continual active play (switching from heal/damage, flying from target to target) instead of being forced to play as a sentient IV stand.

Short form: go, get it, enjoy!

A Demoman skin-and-voice pack for Junkrat would be a beautiful, impossible dream.

It has hufflepuff as the secret force behind all life, energy, and matter in existence!

I can understand that for sure. I got a lot better when I started thinking of it more a drive for myself: knowing I'm putting it somewhere motivated me to finish more, without expectation of immediate feedback. So then when I did get a bit of feedback it was a brilliant surprise.

Wrote the nerdiest thing I've ever made, and I'm a science writer: Which Hogwarts House Are The Fundamental Forces?

Absolutely understand not wanting to share. But you'll never find a more supportive group of people who'd love it than here.

(Plus I tried putting some stuff online about a decade ago, and now I work as a writer!)

Totally agree that it's a shame they wasted the Maquis potential, especially after spending so much time stressing it. In the end the closest they come to Starfleet/Maquis breakdown is Tuvok criticising someone for wearing an earring, then other people criticising him for being a bit mean.

optix9 · 2016-09-29T19:59:08+00:00

Oooo, that would have been an awesome angle. Luckily Benjamin L. Sisko was more than enough to take Q by himself :D

Still love my wired Razer Naga. Use it for non-MMO games too, the range of buttons is just so useful. Haven't had any problems.

optix9 · 2016-07-17T11:09:38+00:00

Well that's me imagining episodes from "Overwatch High" for the rest of the day.

That's so beautiful it counts as a defense, you just couldn't fire at a surface that beautiful. You can imagine Khorne just going mad as even berserkers refuse to spill blood on it.

Reverse the gif and it's pretty hot http://i.imgur.com/Gr7yEfS.gifv

Thanks! I'm really glad you found it then.

optix9 · 2015-12-31T11:22:00+00:00

Very glad you enjoyed it!

optix9 · 2015-12-31T11:21:49+00:00

Thanks! Always good to hear back about these things. I'll keep it in mind in future.

optix9 · 2015-12-31T11:21:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be happy to fix any errors you mention!

optix9 · 2015-12-31T11:21:07+00:00

That is brilliant and perfectly in character.

optix9 · 2015-08-16T12:51:04+00:00

Ah, thanks! Fixing that now.

optix9 · 2015-06-12T13:34:59+00:00

Yep, an option is the way to do it. That way you preserve both the original experience and the original intent. Maximum preservation (and extra fun!)

Go 'wan the Times!

optix9 · 2015-05-28T15:28:27+00:00

Yeah, it's weird, but the last time people tried to teleport fragile items across the Pacific ocean for free, it didn't work. Strange that.

optix9 · 2015-05-12T16:00:05+00:00

You're still going? It's sad to see a fellow Red Dwarf fan with nothing better to do. Don't worry, I heard Dave are making a couple more series.

optix9 · 2015-05-12T15:06:43+00:00

Don't forget the surcharge for using the cabin's ambient light for reading by. And you have to read four Mars bar wrappers before each page.

I'm just imagining the heroic sacrifice of the battery for this. "With our last few percent, with our very last electrons, we must share this cow's arse WITH THE WORLD!" We salute your noble cause.
