The digital billboards included pics of the drill-sporting, non-binary archeologist playing with their pet…
Call Of Duty’s ‘Trans Bullet’ Bug Is Right Wing Rage Bait
A possible Call of Duty bug is causing a new Pride-themed cosmetic to paint the bullets in one version of one of the game’s guns the colors of the transgender flag. Now, right wing rage jockeys are seizing this to peddle transphobic conspiracy theories so idiotic they would be laughable, if not for the real world…
Call Of Duty’s $40 Dune Skin Isn’t Going Over Well With Players

Overwatch 2’s Mirrorwatch Event Is So Good I’m In Mourning
Overwatch 2 has had a lot of bad news since it launched, such as the gutting of its PvE suite, and now the reported cancellation of its story missions. Every seemingly good thing that’s introduced, like a store to buy rare skins, comes with a caveat, in that case being egregiously expensive. The limited-time…
Overwatch 2’s Most Independent Tank Is Becoming A Team Player
Overwatch 2’s tenth season begins tomorrow, April 16, and it’s bringing a new hero in Venture, a limited-time event that swaps the series’ good guys and bad guys, and a big balance patch to top it all off.

Overwatch 2’s tenth season begins on April 16, and it will new non-binary damage hero Venture to the roster after their test phase last month.

An Overwatch 2 Support Player’s Guide To Mastering Moira
When I first started playing Overwatch, the original 2016 hero shooter that spawned the 2022 free-to-play sequel Overwatch 2, it was right when Moira was first introduced. The morally repugnant scientist joined the game’s support roster in 2017, and for a newcomer like myself, she seemed like a good hero to start…
New Overwatch 2 Hero Is Playable For A Limited Time
The next Overwatch 2 hero is getting a brief trial period for those who want to take them for a spin before launch, just like Blizzard did with tank hero Mauga before his launch. Venture, a non-binary, drill-using damage hero, is set to join the roster in season 10 (which kicks off on April 16), but Blizzard is giving…
Overwatch 2 Devs Fear Story Missions Have Been Canceled
In the last few months, Overwatch 2 fans have grown increasingly worried about the state of the hero shooter’s story missions. These missions were a pillar of the sequel’s initial pitch at Blizzcon 2019, the shiny new thing that merited making a new game instead of patching the original one, like most live-service…
PlayStation Pulse Elite Headset Sounds Great, Looks Wild
The PlayStation Pulse Elite doesn’t look like any headset I’ve ever owned before, and I’ve owned tons. The $150 wireless headset has a ‘60s-esque “vision of the future” vibe that stands out from a sea of black-and-neon designs and blinking LEDs. Its architectural shape and sleek simplicity means it’s even visually…
