Overwatch 2 is a hot mess at the moment

I've got you in my sights....

But I cannot play you.

Overwatch 2 has been a game I have been excited to play. Not because its new or refreshed or for any other reason. I like Overwatch. That is it. Overwatch is a fun game that has been one I go to play and relieve stress for years now.

That has since changed.

The upgrade to Overwatch 2 has not been smooth. That is saying it nicely. From millions of players not even able to access the game on launch and even 3 days after. Once people did get in, a lot of their merge content from the first Overwatch was missing. THEN once the content has returned, Blizzard somehow managed to lock half of the characters from a majority of the players.

Even at the time of this writing I got kicked out of a ranked match and placed in a never ending queue of log in errors.

I get that launch days ever since 2010 have been absolutely horrendous but it is still very frustrating to even get remotely excited about video game releases in this day.

As mentioned before it wasn't upsetting missing out on the new changes as the main difference is 5 v 5 team gameplay instead of 6 v 6. It was more not even being able to get to play.

I. MISS. OVERWATCH.

To their credit, Blizzard is working diligently on the major issues and it cannot be easy. I am sure they'll get to minor UI issues, character skins and the sort eventually. It is difficult to not get wrapped up in the madness with such a huge community and fanbase that Overwatch has. The pressure is unreal.

I hope we can get to the point where live service games don't get review bombed for their first week being released. I want games to come out perfect and I absolutely get that they cannot. A boy can dream and dream I shall.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Equip And Use Your Glider

Are you wondering how to use your new Glider in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Have no fear as I am here to tell you exactly how to do it! If you happen to be blasting or skipping through menus in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you may be wondering how the heck to equip that shiny new surfboard glider you got. Well, all you have to do is go to your Wardrobe, scroll down to Gliders and select it! Easy as a hot dog! But how do you hop on this thing and use it? Well for that, first you MUST make sure your stamina bar is in the yellow. You do this by eating cooked meals that will take you above your maximum stamina bar. Once this is complete, just run for a few seconds until an icon appears in the bottom left side of the screen. Tap that button (For me, on Xbox, it's B) and PERFECTO! You'll be gliding in no time! Make sure to pay attention to your stamina bar as it will run out pretty quickly though! For more tips, opinions, and overall shenanigans, make sure to leave a comment and come back...

Movie Backlog: The Fast And The Furious (2001)

I'm a bit ashamed of myself. And, to a point, somewhat proud. I have never watched any of the Fast and Furious movies other than 2 Fast 2 Furious for some reason. So I got sick over the weekend and decided to start watching the entire season to see what I have missed over the last 20 years. Here are some of my thoughts on the first movie into this adrenaline-filled, NOS-injected, action-packed love story. The Fast This movie starts out at a pretty fast pace. Quick racing, quick fights, all the machismo you can shake a stick at. We get to follow Brian O'Connor, played by the late Paul Walker. A blonde surfer type who is an undercover cop sent to investigate the infamous street racing gang leader, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel). This is because a bunch of truck's have been hijacked and good ole Dommy boy is the main suspect. We find out the Brian likes tuna sandwiches. Pretty dang cool I guess. I'm not a car guy and I will never pretend to be, but what I noticed is there are ...

A.K.I Slithers into Street Fighter 6!

The second Street Fighter 6 DLC character is here! A.K.I, a brand new character to the series arrived this week, just in time for Halloween. Her slithery, unsettling, poison wielding moves will be sure to not only creep out players, but also shake things up for the online warriors out there. She has a mix of mid and long range range moves, plus projectiles and specials that inflict poison on the opponent. Her moveset and specials take inspiration from F.A.N.G. Well... not surprising because she's an apprentice of F.A.N.G! Not only that, she's a little bit obsessed with him. Ok, maybe A LOT bit obsessed. Don’t worry though, she’s way cooler than F.A.N.G. Her design (I'm still 50/50 on the hair) and engaging move set make her way more appealing to use than her obsession. Street Fighter's YouTube page has a great breakdown of her gameplay. If you want to learn a bit about her move set, strengths, and weaknesses, I recommend that you watch! So far I’m having a blast us...
