blizzard – Obsolete Gamer

We’re talking Fallout 76 and if the recent bad press is justified or are people overreacting. We also discuss the pros and cons of Call of Duty Black Ops 4 and if Battlefield 5 will pull players away. Finally, we go over the PR nightmare that was the Blizzcon announcement of Diablo Immortal.

We were sent on a mission to Stormwind stockades to rescue a very special prison and things didn’t go so well.

You don’t get the show #17: Stop hiding the sexy

You would think with VR hitting its stride most people would be using it for gaming and you would be wrong. The adult industry is reaping the benefits of VR so much so that companies like Naughty America have booths at E3 and CES. However, there has been some pushback and rules put in place to tuck them away, keep them out of the spotlight.

Does Blizzard know about this?

While searching for Christmas gifts on Amazon we came across this strange World of Warcraft item. Perfect for the fan who really likes to sleep with his face in the pillow.

Greg is going to be one of several high-profile guests on the upcoming, GaCuCon Game Cruise convention and event being held in Miami on January 26th thru 30th 2017. Hosted by the Miami based, Game Trep team and Make Games Miami, it’s the first of its kind so we wanted to get Greg’s thoughts on conventions, interacting with fans and being stuck on a boat with nowhere to run.

Overwatch and Rule 34

Blizzard is proud of Overwatch they are not proud of all the adult fan art and movies made based on their characters and they are trying everything they can to get rid of it (yeah, good luck with that) but we all know about Rule 34 which states, If it exists there IS porn of it.

You dont get the show #6: Damn, Video Gamers are violent!

This week we look at video games and violence with three stories where violence just doesn’t belong. First we got a Pokémon Go player who goes Pokémon hunting in the wrong neighborhood and finds the wrong kind of Blastoise. Next, we travel to South Korea where a disgruntled gamer goes Carmageddon on Nexon headquarters and finally to California where a Heroes of the Storm keyboard warrior goes full terrorist complete with an AK47 and ends up in FBI custody. You better get this show.

You don’t get the show #3: Let me tell you about being a crackhead

We also discuss a troll that got bitch slapped by a Blizzard employee on their own forums they cried about being banned for no reason and claimed Blizzard didn’t read the chat logs. Well they do and the Blizzard employee proved it by posted them and laying the smackdown on the troll. Speaking of smackdown, we give a little bit of a smackdown to Game Rant for claiming it was a Overwatch article when it was clearly a Heroes of the Storm article. Can we say clickbait?
