What I’ve Been Playing – Boring Gamer Edition

I wish it were more exciting this week, but it's kind of more of the same.  I'm admittedly in a bit of a rut in my gaming lately. Overwatch I almost wasn't playing this anymore, again.  It's starting to reach a point where it's more frustrating than fun again.  Last weekend had a trial round for the upcoming new hero Juno (maybe it was two weekends ago?).  Juno seems, a little lame honestly.  She is a healer, but it kind of feels like an "easy mode" style healer.  She doesn't need to toggle between healing and damage, so you can…

Overwatch Season 11 – Super Mega Ultrawatch

Overwatch has just launched Season 11, and it's paying tribute to Tokusatsu. A lot of folks are calling it the Power Rangers season, but the designs on the sentai skins are closer to the bug eyed Kamen Rider than to Power Rangers. Power Rangers usually have a more themed helmet for each team and solid visors not bug eyes. There are also several monster skins that are more of a nod to Kaiju, though nothing super directly "Godzilla" or anything. Road Hog has probably the closest thing to a Godzilla skin and Zenyatta is wearing some dinosaur pajamas. There is…

Figma – Widowmaker

I never thought I would actually manage to get caught up on something around here but here I am, caught up on Overwatch Figmas. The last of the four released so far that I have yet to talk about is Widowmaker. I almost didn't order Widowmaker. I hate Snipers in the game and don't really play Widowmaker at all. I wanna say it was a slow month anyway for pre orders, so I decided to go ahead and let it ride out. I'm kind of glad I did, because she's a really great release for the line. She has all…
Nendoroid D.Va (Hana Song)

Nendoroid D.Va (Hana Song)

One thing I really like about the Nendoroid line is that they are hitting essentially all of my "Mains" in Overwatch. Tracer, Sombra, Mei, Lucio is coming, and D.Va. These are my top five, in some sort of order. I suppose that probably just says I prefer the mainstream heroes over some of the less popular heroes. Not surprisingly, Nendoroid D.Va is just Hana Song, aka "Baby D.Va". In game she rides inside her giant MEKA robot, collectively they are known as "D.Va". After taking some damage, Baby D.Va pops out and the robot is destroyed. It's a fun mechanic…

Overwatch Ultimates – Lucio

Today's figure is Lucio from the Overwatch Ultimates line by Hasbro. I feel like Lucio could make a pretty cool Figma, but there are a lot of other factors that make me feel like Figma will never get around to doing Lucio. Of all the figures shown off prior to the line's release, Lucio was the one I was the most worried about. Ana had her obvious flaws in the promo photos, so she is expected to be a little disappointing. Lucio basically had one photo going around, where he was standing stiff upright with his little effect parts attached.…
