This week's the last week of the academic year here. Feels good to finally hand in all assignments. If I don't screw up the last final, I'll have 64 credits to my name this year which is about twenty credits more than I was hoping for at the start of the year.

Anyway, I started playing Overwatch yesterday. It reminds me of TF2 back when I still liked it, very fun and addictive.

Stupid game stole all my favorite competitive TF2 players.

Dude people have been getting so upset with me when I tell them that Overwatch is, at the moment, basically just re-skinned TF2.

Once they add more characters, gametypes, that won't be the case.

But at the moment the only thing it's missing is hats.

Did they get mad because you forgot the other list of games it took their cue from? /s

I love that it's basically TF3 because that's what I was looking for.

It'll always be a straight ripoff. The physics makes it play a little bit differently and the graphics are messier but ultimately it's just a remake. Without the really high-skill mobility of TF2. What's the point?

Favorite Overwatch characters?

I consider myself 'good' with Lucio and Roadhog, I'm learning Mercy and trying to git gud with Pharah.

PS: I hope you've seen The Room because this mashup is amazing:

That's so awesome and terrible all at the same time.

I guess the same could be said of The Room.

Can't tell yet, currently more than half of the heroes are really fun to play. If the team works together well, I like Lucio and Junkrat a lot. Tracer and D.va are good for KotH. I used to be all Soldier in TF2 so Pharah is always an option.
