Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! We're discussing one trick ponies, Blizzard policies, Moira in comp, and the latest Overwatch comic.

Winter Wonderland is here and we're rating our favorite skins, talk about the new Yeti Hunter Event, and discuss role choices. Is it better to pick what your team needs or what you're good at playing?

Hopefully they're the same thing?

It's our 50th episode and we announce the winner of our giveaway. We also announce the new intro and outro as well as a couple other goodies. And we talk about why Doomfist sucks.

If that seems like clickbait, you're right.

Music copyright Dan Bull and used with permission.

Christi and Sarah are back! Listen for details on how to win prizes for our 50th episode, opinions on Moira, and Winter Wonderland predictions like what costumes we think we'll see, pricing, and special maps or events.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat!

Stay for the exciting 50th episode contest announcement toward the end!

JB flying solo this week because Sarah has holiday prep to take care of and Christi's voice is shot. He reviews the interesting information from the the Overwatch Archive panel from Blizzcon 2017, great insights from the Overwatch Concept Art book, and why he is sick and tired of character "shipping".

Oh, Blizzard! How we love thee! This week we're talking all about what we got right and what we were off on in our BlizzCon predictions; and about what Blizzard and games mean to us.

Christi also enlightens us on the connection between Lucio and the frogs! Here's the article she cites: https://twero.tumblr.com/post/167029478311/lúcio-and-the-muiraquitã

We start off talking about the end of the Halloween Terror event then suddenly realize it's the show before BlizzCon! After covering the gist of many of the topics we switch to our predictions for BizzCon 2017.

Is Mercy a must-have following the changes? We feel like that's true. And what are these rumors of changes to Genji and Junkrat on the PTR? We once again discuss the downside of making rapid changes. We also dig into the Halloween event, what Mei's skin is all about (jiangshi from Chinese mythology), and Mercy concept art!

• Tip of the Week: don't be a jerk! The developers of our fave game shouldn't be afraid to talk to/with the people who play their games. Terrorizing anyone is NOT OK.
