Given that Tracer's relationship isn't even with another member of the Overwatch cast, I have to question why bother yanking her out of the proverbial closet matters. I mean, it's a blatant publicity stunt, sure, but you think they'd at least try to tie it into their game in a meaningful way as opposed to just yelling, "Hey, this one character's gay, y'all!"

Well, whoop-de-fucking-do, Blizzard, this isn't even going to change what little in-game dialogue there is. This serves no purpose within the game and does nothing but pander to a vocal minority. To be fair, other companies have ruined their games by changing gameplay features for the sake of those vocal minorities, so this is one step removed from being a real problem and is instead just flagrantly stupid.

Hmm, I watched some of tracer's many sex-tapes and I'd say she's really bisexual rather than lesbian. #fakenews at work again.

Eh, I'd say it's better than if they started putting characters together, doing some lame backstory about how Tracer munched Widowmaker's carpet before she turned evul or some other fan-fic levels of lame writing.


Also, Torbjörn is apparently married to a Norse goddess and grandmaster of fucking, seeing as he has like 10 kids.

Also also, this thing

I thought they were Reinhart's grandkids and Tor just played Santa but I might be wrong

Tracer thing is blatant pandering, but whatever. It really doesn't matter if she's a carpetmuncher or a knobtugger. The only people who actually care are people who draw cartoon/furry overwatch porn.

Anyway... I already got Yeti Winston. And I still have plenty of time to get Nutcracker Zenyatta. Those are pretty much the best skins this season.

Also Jeff Kaplan has an yearly update:

Tigole is a huge faggot, holy shit. Was he always a cocksucker or has Blizzard thoroughly emasculated the dude?

So I bought over 50 loot boxes and didn't get a single legendary. Kinda pissed. I'm gonna buy some more because I really want the Santa Mei outfit.

Just kidding, I'm not spending money on that crap.

It adds some flair to your character. I kinda like it, but I'd never pay money for them. It's a better alternative to having maps/characters behind a paywall, people who pay gain no advantage and it doesn't split the player base.

Game is pretty generous with the loot boxes (they reduced the xp needed to get them from 22K to 20K) and if you play enough, you can buy things with in-game coins.

Blame Marvel.

Also blame those who think people go gay because they don't want to have sex, when in reality it's quite the opposite.

I got the nutcracker skin for the monk robot and the Santa clothes for Mei, right before the end of the event. Yaaay

Got the nutcracker skin twice, and also yeti Winston as my first legendary for him. Will probably grab the Mei legendary and Pharah + Reaper epics with gold.

Got my first legit sextuple kill, but fucking playsTV crashed midway through the highlight, so I tried MSI afterburner's video capture thingy, it absolutely ruined quality for whatever reason (even though I fiddled with setting quite a bit and made multiple tries), then I gave OBS a shot, but it didn't just crash by itself but also took the game with it... and all of the highlights are gone of course, because it's 2017 and AAA MP shooters need none of that fancy replay shit that other similar games has been using since 1998...
