    I haven't even touched multiplayer or snapmap yet. I heard multiplayer was like if you wanted quake but they gave you halo instead. I'd rather play UT4 pre-alpha.

    Played the beta but decided it wasn't fun enough mainly since balance could be better. Seriously who thought Bastion was a good idea...

    I think Bastion is smart design. Baiting noobs into spamming him then getting rekt by anyone with a brain can be a good lesson on actually knowing picks, which is crucial in a game like this. There's a reason you stop seeing Bastion at higher levels without a Reinhart to protect his ass...

    Man, I really don't have time for it, but I am addicted to Overwatch on PC. My best multiplayer FPS days are behind me at this point (Quake 2 FTW), but I'm having a blast. Main frustration is not balance, but coordination. Some games, I have teammates who know what they are doing so I can do my thing and contribute as a nuisance, but others, I am scrambling to fill in the gaps with players that I'm not great at just to see if I can keep the game competitive. A lot of times people just treat things as Team Deathmatch or just have no idea how to use a character. I'm still learning as I wasn't in on any of the betas.

    When do you guys play? I think just having one or two teammates who are in coordination could help. I should probably get a mic so I can talk too... I'm FraGGleR#11797

    Alright, guys. Now that I have @velvetx on board we need to get an all-SBAF 6-man team together.

    Sounds good. Will do.

    I'm trying out all the heroes to figure out who I like to play and having a blast doing it.

    So far I've had good success with 76, Torbjorn and Mercy. I really need to keep expanding the roster of heroes I'm comfortable playing and especially find a tank I like.

    I am doing a similar thing. Trying to become proficient in the four classes. Starting with Pharah, Sodier 76, Torbjorn, Roadhog, Zarya, and Lucio. Next to work on is Genji to counter that complete OP bastard Bastion. I am going to deep fry that stupid bird on his finger.

    Played a game last night that had 4 bastions in it. It was a silly game.

    If you have two players with good synergy and communication, and if you play a bit aggressively, D. Va + Reinhardt can be a brutal combo.

    Also sometimes 6 Reins standing on top of a payload with all their shields active. LOL.

    I'd love to get in on this action. I tend towards Mei, Lucio, Widowmaker, and Torbjorn, but will Pharah or random Tank as needed to balance squad. Am best when others know and execute their roles so I can wreak havoc on the backline.

    Was in a match against all Reapers that was insane. They were floating and teleporting everywhere with their scary voices.

    i just finished The Last Story on the wii.. it actually lot better than expected. the story was pretty decent and gamplay was pretty engaging but, very simple, kinda like kingdom hearts. i actually liked the characters and so forth. i find it a really great game i thought but, of course bit under-rated but, that's due to it being over-looked by many due to the wii doing so bad on it's own. i do hope they continue with the last story 2..

    want to play the new doom... been bugging my brother to borrow computer for at least one night on the weekend but, he can never leave one day without being on the computer so...
