Mostly Average Podcast

Apparently we've got a guy based in Russia who hard carries in Valorant. Except he was born in raised in NorCal. We also chat more about the game and its balance, and a little on our Shelter In Place/COVID/Quarantine routines.

Valorant has taken over Twitch, and our Discord. Farming is bountiful. Gamers are "quitting" games for it, which makes about as much sense as traditional athletes quitting there sport for another, and more.

Being on lockdown means we have time again to record ourselves talking and uploading it to the internet. This time we touch on what we're doing at home, how this has affected traditional & esports, how the the game streaming wars are really an Amazon, Google, and Microsoft battle, and what games we should be playing next.

Michael enjoys a Hot Toddy, Elliott talks about the Samsung Galaxy Fold, Overwatch League Season 2 is here and realistically we want pick-bans, we're looking forward to new games as well....like Kirby Air Ride 2*, and there's a bro-rape throwback...

We talk a good while about Overwatch League coming up, the Activision Blizzard lay offs, people we'd like to see in Smash Bros Ultimate, computer things, and the usual chit chat. Also Elliott's family is having puppies.

We talk about a good bit here. Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rocket League, Bowsette...for some reason, Elliott is catching up on Anime and reminiscing on his Toonami days, and some overwatch stuff.

We chitty chat about Spiderman (again) and his new trailer for Far From Home, then viral social media and the world record egg, then the juicy business news behind Activision and Blizzard split.

Mike talks about Into the Spider-Verse to break it for Elliott; we both talk about how flexible you can be with what a character is and how they're represented; we're playing more single player games in 2019.

We talk a bit about new buffs/nerfs in Overwatch, Dafran quitting OWL to work for McDonalds, Ghost in The Shell movie comparisons, Mickey Mouse approaching Public Domain, and the impact Stan Lee had on the world.

We add Mark (Megglymark) to the show, and his corgi Butters! More of a general chat session, we talk about the beauty that is the new Super Smash Bros roster, how USA and Canada brought dishonor to NA in the Overwatch World Cup, the new hero Ashe and the possibility of some...curious fan-fiction, Reinforce not returning to OWL next season, and the fiasco Blizzard Entertainment finds themselves in with Diablo Immortal.

We touch on the Atlanta Overwatch League roster announcement, go over the Playstation Classic's library of games, reminisce on Nintendo's classics, what makes a good remake vs. a nostalgia bomb cash grab, and the future of gaming being without consoles.

A brief introduction to the channel (more to follow in later episodes), we dive into the Atlanta Reign OWL announcement, our thoughts on Esports players and fame, xQc, Ninja, and even a bit of Justin Bieber.
