[QUOTE=Makol;50371554]Yeah for the most part my hair is still a dark brown, but oddly enough the back of my head is starting to turn grey/white. Other than coloring it I bet styling it will be a big pain in the butt.[/QUOTE] Thinking about having a chat with my hair stylist and see what she can do, she can do a lot with hair from what I've seen, might be a good challenge for her.
Hope it's not too long until the next wave of shorts comes. The Junkrat and Roadhog one will be the best.
[QUOTE=CrossNgen;50371493]Gonna be honest here, and I'm probably gonna get showered with boxes, but I felt like aside from the visuals and animation, this short was just terrible.[/QUOTE] I agree. It was a bit bland compared to the others.
[QUOTE=Skyward;50371579]Hope it's not too long until the next wave of shorts comes. The Junkrat and Roadhog one will be the best.[/QUOTE] I thought that would be the case with Soldier 76 :( Can't get my hopes up with Blizzard writing.
No Spirit of 76 skin? 3/10
The short only felt bland to people because it came out after Dragons. How do you even top that?
[QUOTE=Killer monkey;50371491]Are we going to ignore the fact that the girl just left that omnic to die.[/QUOTE] I could not. agree with you. more. That Omnic could've gotten away to be repaired, an assured Omnic death is an assurance for peace.
I like how they made the Omnic seem really scared and hurt with 0 facial animations. I feel bad for him :(
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;50371622]I like how they made the Omnic seem really scared and hurt with 0 facial animations. I feel bad for him :([/QUOTE] she left him for dead wtf
[QUOTE=Skyward;50371579]Hope it's not too long until the next wave of shorts comes. The Junkrat and Roadhog one will be a blast.[/QUOTE] ftfy
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;50371513]I did find Alive more pleasing to the eyes.[/QUOTE] Yeah, only issue with Alive is how cringy Widowmaker is for me. "Why would you do this?!" "IT EZ BECAUSE I AM THE THIRD IN A LONG LINE OF METZEN'S WEIRD SKIN COLORED EMOTIONLESS MONSTER GIRLS WITH GOOD MARKSMANSHIP FETISH! HON HON HON HON!"
They should have just done 7 minutes of 76 beating thugs up, the stories they are trying to tell in these shorts are so meh
The moment before one of the thugs kicked him, he also made the peace sign. :cry: [IMG]http://puu.sh/p1ft6/67fc8828fd.jpg[/IMG]

She can't help it. She was mentally broken to become an emotionless killing machine!......thinking about that it's not a very original backstory.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;50371622]I like how they made the Omnic seem really scared and hurt with 0 facial animations. I feel bad for him :([/QUOTE] Omnics are pretty sad in general. Imagine having to live with the fact that at any time someone could remotely brainwash you into being a homicidal maniac and there's nothing you can do about it, and because of that everyone hates you.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;50371665]She can't help it. She was mentally broken to become an emotionless killing machine!......thinking about that it's not a very original backstory.[/QUOTE] You realized that now? :v: Pretty much every single Hero in this game is a stereotype, or quite few of them are. You have Winston, 76, Reaper, McCree, D.Va, Hanzo and Genji etc. The game is pretty much built on stereotypes.
[QUOTE=Dom Pyroshark;50371645]Yeah, she's just plain evil asshole rather than being emotionless which I'd find much more likeable.[/QUOTE] Ok well still she's a weird combo of Kerrigan with rifles and Sylvanas with the whole blue emo thing for me.

It's weird that people are acting like Blizzard's writing being trash is some new development that began with Overwatch.
Merry Overwatch Eve everyone.
[QUOTE=sponge7325;50371330][video=youtube;cPRRupAM4DI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPRRupAM4DI[/video][/QUOTE] [sp]How did 76 know that the wallet he had found was the girls'? Did he see the whole thing happen? If so, why didn't he step up right when it happened or before to stop the gang beating the robot? How did the girl guess that he is/was an Overwatch guy once? He might as well could have been an assassin or something. I swear, you could make a whole "Everything wrong with" parody from these shorts.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Skyward;50371712]It's weird that people are acting like Blizzard's writing being trash is some new development that began with Overwatch.[/QUOTE] I've been playing WoW since beta. As the years went on with that game my expectations of Blizzard's story telling ability quickly dropped to almost nothing.

She assumed he was a hero because he just risked his fucking life to protect her from a grenade when an assassin would have probably just left her to die?
I really liked the new short but holy fuck it's so obvious they're trying to make them so that nobody dies just to keep it kid-friendly enough. All the more jarring when compared with the treatment Omnics get in the shorts. Hanzo [I]kind of[/I] got away with it because murdering a bunch of people just so you can honour your fallen brother wouldn't make sense but goddamn, S76 is hunting a cartel, blows up their truck with rockets, shoots three dudes off a rooftop and then proceeds to brutally beat one of their heads in, why is nobody dead?
