BE MORE AWARE IN OVERWATCH

Hello again! Yesterday I posted about some really annoying things you should
avoid doing in the team game Overwatch. Today I have tips for things that you
should do, and gameplay options you should use in order to be more aware of
what’s going on. Awareness of your surroundings is important! Not just your own
situation and where your enemies are, but also what’s going on with the rest of
your team.


USE THE SCOREBOARD



Blizzard never actually tells you this in the tutorial – why would they want to
teach you anything aside from basic moving and shooting controls?! – but you can
bring up the Scoreboard in game by pressing the Tab key (unless you’ve unbound
it).

The Scoreboard isn’t just about your ego and seeing how many gold medals you
have, it also tells you a lot about what’s going on in the game.

 * You can see who is dead, on your own team and the enemy team (they have an X
   through their portrait)
 * You can see if people on your team have their ult ready (see the blue
   checkmark under Pharah)
 * You can see who, on either team, is on fire (another thing Blizz never
   explains to new players)
 * You can quickly see team comps and be aware of when someone has switched
   heroes (or tell when the only support on your team has switched to Hanzo)

The Scoreboard is transparent, so you can still see what’s going on. I find
myself pressing Tab a lot during games.


KILL FEED DISPLAY



The Kill Feed Display is in the top right of your screen. If it’s not go into
Options > Gameplay and turn it on. I find a lot of people either don’t have this
on, or just don’t pay attention to it. Like the people who yell “Where are my
heals?!” when the healer has just died. Or the people who yell “Tracer’s low!”
and go off to chase her when someone else has already finished her off in a
hallway somewhere. Knowing who has just been killed is important for deciding
how aggressive or defensive to be.


ALLIED HEALTH BARS

Healers and a couple other characters (I think) can always see the health bars
of their allies, but this is a good thing for anyone to see. Go to Options >
Controls and turn on Allied Health Bars. Knowing more about the status of
everyone on your team can only help. You can help someone getting low with an
enemy is harassing them, tanks can put some form of shield on/in front of them,
Solider can put down a heal, Roadhog can take care of his own health when others
are low and need the heals. Health bars  – they’re not just for healers!


KEEP AN EYE ON THE CLOCK





Overwatch is a lot like football – clock management can win you games. Different
kinds of play are better at the (possible) end of a match than at the beginning.
In a point capture match, as the clock is running down the most important thing
is to either keep the point in your possession by keeping the other team off it,
or get your butt on the other team’s point to prevent the match from ending. You
know someone has no awareness of the clock when they yell at Mei for walling a
lone hero approaching your point when there’s only a couple seconds left. Yeah,
they may have cost you an elim, but that wall let the clock run out.

It’s also very important to watch that Overtime countdown. The point/payload is
always the most important thing, but being on it in Overtime is especially
necessary.


BE ON VOICE CHAT

I know not everyone will like this one but, at least in Comp, you should always
be in voice chat. Even if you’re not going to talk, listening is important.
Generally the more constructive communication and sharing of information there
is in a game, the better the chances of winning.

More Aware in Overwatch


DON’T BE ‘THAT GUY’ IN OVERWATCH

Overwatch, besides being the home of super cute characters and half the shipping
on the Internet, is also a team game. But not everyone seems to understand that.
Here are some things to avoid doing if you want to win and don’t want your team
to hate you.



Charge/leap into the middle of the entire enemy team. This is a thing that
Reinhardt and Winston are most guilty of. Charge is a great thing, but not when
the end result is you surrounded by 6 enemy heroes who want to kill you and out
of range of the rest of your team. You won’t get healed and you’ll die fast. And
don’t yell at the healers for not healing you – Neither Lucio or Mercy’s heals
will reach you (and don’t be mad Mercy didn’t fly in after you because she’d
just die immediately as well), Ana probably won’t have line of sight to you, and
Zen’s orb won’t keep you up through 6 people shooting you in the back. Charge
more strategically.

Immediately complain when someone picks a character you don’t think will
work. Now there are some comps that are probably bad ideas (a lack of tanks and
support is an obvious one, 3 snipers, attack Torbjorn does seem rather trolly),
but give people a shot. Don’t immediately complain that you don’t want even one
sniper, or that Mei’s damage is too low, or that you want a Lucio over a Mercy.

Stubbornly stick to your original hero pick no matter how badly it’s going. Comp
is important. If your team’s comp isn’t working, try something new.

Yell at your healers for not healing you, while otherwise ignoring them. This
one’s pretty simple. If you ignore the D.Va or Tracer constantly harassing your
healers don’t expect amazing healing.

Ignore the payload. In payload maps, the payload is the most important
thing. Pushing the payload to the end (or stopping the other team from doing it)
is what wins the match. Your 52 eliminations don’t matter if you can’t complete
the objective. Also, if you’re on offence the payload heals you!

Yell at Mei for defending a point by putting up a wall to block enemy
heroes. Mei is a defense character. She excels at defending a point. Keeping the
enemy off it is just as important as killing, especially as the matching is
coming to an end.

Be the Mei who uses walls to troll her own team. Seriously, you’re why people
hate us.

Be the sniper who is so unaware of the status of the point that they won’t put a
toe on it to save it from being captured even though they’re the only one
alive. Oh yes, this happens. Even in competitive.

Be the player who runs right up outside the enemy team’s spawn at the beginning
of a match, only to die immediately and leave your team to defend 5 on 6. Maps
have choke points for a reason.



Be the person who’s constantly emoting or asking for heals in voice chat.
Healers can see your health bar. Unless you’re nowhere near them, in which case,
get near them for heals.

Be the player who’s only comfortable playing one character, or only
Offence/Defense Characters. You don’t have to be able to play everything, but
should be able to do one of Tank or Support.

Be one of those people who says “we don’t need 3 supports” when one of them is
Symmetra. Symmetra can take down most tanks 1 v 1 right now so don’t you worry
about lack of damage.

Be the developer that puts Symmetra into the Support category instead of the
Defense category, breaking people’s brains, and causing fights.

Later this week I’m going to be writing about improving your awareness in
Overwatch. Much of it will be snark, but there also might be some things to
learn as Blizzard does not do a good job of telling people the fine details of
playing the game.

What are the things people do in Overwatch that annoy you most?

GOOD AND BAD WAYS TO SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

A lot of people use social media in order to plug their stuff – videos,
podcasts, articles… that’s one of the things it’s good for. However there are
good and bad ways to go about doing this. Here are some things that are annoying
as fuck and will get more people to ignore you and your content than help you
with your self promotion, as well as some tips on good things to do to get your
work in front of more eyeballs.

Don’t DM people asking them to check out your channel. This will get you
unfollowed pretty much immediately. I’m not the only one who will do this. I
know you want to get your name out there, but doing the equivalent of putting a
flyer under someone’s windshield wiper blade isn’t a great way to go about it.

Further to this, don’t put people on the spot and ask them directly to watch
your video or share it. This is just really bad manners. It depends on the
personality of the person you’re approaching but this will make many
people extremely uncomfortable. I’d love if more people gave my podcast a
review, but imagine if I started DMing people who had never given me an
indication they had listened to it and asking them to do it. It would put them
in an awkward position where they’d have to: tell me they don’t listen to my
podcast, lie, or just ignore me. So it’s awkward and shitty all around. Don’t
put people in this position.

Don’t tag people in your images/links to your content. This is spam. Unless the
person is involved in the content or has asked you to notify them when you
release something new, it’s a bad thing to do. Any interactions others have with
that tweet (favourites, retweets, reply-alls) will send anyone you’ve tagged a
notification. Also, don’t try to get around the fact that someone has disabled
the ability for you to tag them in pictures by tagging them in a follow-up
tweet. Bad, bad, bad.

People are generally more likely to share the work of their friends, so making
friends on social media is great (for many reasons). However, don’t try to force
a friendship. Have some chill. I get a lot of people that will send me a private
message for something that should really be a public comment (like “what’s your
favourite game?”). Imagine being at a party and asking to talk to a relative
stranger alone in another room just so you could make small talk with them.
Weird, right? Don’t do this. Similarly, if you’re constantly replying to
someone’s tweets and they don’t seem to be replying back or interacting in any
way, maybe give it a rest. You can’t force a friendship.

But Pam! How will I get people to watch my stuff? Here are some good things to
do.

Share links to your work on multiple platforms, multiple times. Share links to
your stuff on Twitter at different times of the day so you have the most chance
of catching all your followers. Use hashtags that will make them more likely to
be seen by people who don’t follow you (eg. #retrogaming #gamersunite). Share on
Facebook, Instagram, and whatever new apps the kids are using these days. Don’t
overdo it – no one needs to see you share your video 20 times in 2 days, but get
it out there a few times.

Be topical with your shares and don’t be afraid to share older content. If a new
game in a series is announced and you’ve written or made a video about another
game in that series in the past – share it again! It doesn’t matter that it’s
older, people will have renewed interest in that game/topic and it could be a
good introduction to your work.

Comment on other people’s work. I’ve subscribed to a lot of YouTube channels
after seeing someone leave a well thought out comment on a video of mine. If
someone’s video inspires you to make a video of your own in response, let them
know. If you’ve done a video on a similar topic before, mention it. BUT! Don’t
just drop links to your video/channel in comments without any context.



Turn on ad revenue (if you’re on YouTube). Even if you don’t care about money,
Google definitely does. Want your videos to be recommended to people? Put on
monitization – why would YouTube recommend or place them high in search results
them if they’re not getting anything out of it?

Above all, just recognize that you’re not entitled to anyone’s time or
attention, so don’t act like it. People only have so much capacity for
discovering new content and plugging other people’s work.

MY BOTTOM 16 NES GAMES

Last week I made a list of my Top 30 NES games, after the NES Classic was
announced. Thirty is a big list for a single console, it’s 2/3 of the NES games
I’ve played. So I thought it would be interesting to look at the 16 games that
didn’t make the cut. A number of these games are of superior quality to the
games I put on my top 30, so why did they get left out?

The Addams Family – The biggest strike against this game is that I barely
remember it. I rented it one time and couldn’t tell you much about it. I think
there was an owl at one point? /shrug

The Adventure of Link – My entire recollection of Zelda 2 consists of this boss
(mini-boss? I don’t know). I borrowed the game from a friend and I could not
beat this thing. I actually think the game looks pretty cool, but I can’t really
put it on a top list if I only remember 5 seconds of it, can I?



Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers 2 – Not much different than the first entry, but a
whole lot more expensive.

Contra – I dislike it because I’m bad at it.

Deja Vu – Just say no to point and click adventure games with an NES controller.
Besides problems with the controls making everything terribly slow, the puzzles
are extremely obtuse.

Disney’s The Little Mermaid – I shoot bubbles with my tail? No, do not like.

Donkey Kong – I suppose it’s a classic, but it’s a little on the dull side.

Double Dare – Only played this very briefly. The controls are terrible.

Duck Tales – That fucking pogo stick.

Home Alone – Repetitive and offensive to my eyes and ears.

Pac-Man – Another classic, but better on arcade.

Prince of Persia – The controls are rage inducing. The 60 minute time limit is
inexplicable.

River City Ransom – I like RPGs, I like beat’em ups, but this combination of
both did nothing for me.

Sesame Street ABC – I played this while sleeping over at a friend’s house when I
was really young. The first word it spelled was BUT. Not knowing the difference
between BUT and BUTT, I found this hilarious. (No, that doesn’t explain why it
wasn’t included on the list).

Where’s Waldo? – I loved Waldo books, but the graphics on this game were too
terrible to find anything. Plus it has what, 6 puzzles?

Yoshi – Not a bad game, I just forgot it existed until Murf pointed it out.

MY TOP 30 NES GAMES

Today Nintendo announced the NES Classic, a mini-replica of the original
Nintendo Entertainment System, that will come with a pre-loaded library of 30
games. The 30 games selected are not surprising (for both licencing and
popularity reasons) but it raises the question – what are your top 30 NES games?

I came up with a list of mine. My total NES games played probably tops out short
of 50, so most of the games I’ve played will appear on this list. Inclusion
doesn’t necessarily denote quality

 1.  The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants
 2.  BreakThru
 3.  Legendary Wings
 4.  Hudson Hawk
 5.  Maniac Mansion
 6.  Dr. Mario
 7.  Bubble Bobble
 8.  Tengen Tetris
 9.  Galaga
 10. Adventure Island
 11. Super Mario Bros. 2
 12. Duck Hunt
 13. Chip n’ Dale Rescue Rangers
 14. Classic Concentration
 15. Flintstones: Suprise at Dino Peak
 16. Gun.Smoke
 17. Super Mario Bros.
 18. RBI Baseball
 19. Klax
 20. Kirby’s Adventure
 21. Panic Restaurant
 22. Tetris
 23. Monopoly
 24. Mega Man 2
 25. Adventures in the Magic Kingdom
 26. The Guardian Legend
 27. Super Mario Bros. 3
 28. Star Tropics
 29. Felix the Cat
 30. Gun-Nac

It looks like there’s an overlap of 9 games between my list and what’s going to
be offered on the NES Classic.

THE PROBLEM WITH PATREON

I recently launched a Patreon specifically for my YouTube channel. I’m a huge
fan of Patreon. I think that people making money for their work (even if
talking about games is a hobby, it’s still a lot of work) is a good thing. I
currently support a dozen creators who I particularly enjoy – video makers,
podcasters, writers. For me, it’s a way to say thank you for providing me with
hours of entertainment, keep up the good work.

Of course, not everyone feels this way. There’s a lot of backlash against
Patreon, specifically (at least that I’ve noticed) in the gaming sphere. Some
people consider it begging, some people think “well you’ve been doing this for
free for this long, why ask for money now?” and some people, as far as I can
tell, are just dicks who are offended at the very idea of people making money
off a hobby. I’ve seen this come up in forums, on Twitter, on YouTube videos and
in comments.

I had debated starting a Patreon for a while. I wanted to do it, but I was also
aware of how it is perceived among some people and didn’t really want to deal
with the extra negativity. Eventually, I decided to just go ahead with it
(thanks in part due to the push provided by this excellent breakdown of the
gender imbalance in games Patreon and its followup over on Go Make Me a
Sandwich). I posted the link on Twitter once or twice, and people were really
supportive and RT’d it a bunch. That was nice. I again hesitated about posting
about it on my YouTube channel even though it’s specifically for my videos so
that’s where an announcement should go.

On Saturday I posted a 2 minute video on announcing the Patreon along with some
details about it. It was the first (and only) time I mentioned it on YouTube.
This happened.



The first time I’ve ever lost more subs than I’ve gained in a day. I actually
lost 17 subs the day I published the video (and gained 5 new ones), and 10 the
following day.

I posted two videos within a couple hours of each other because I wanted to give
people real content as opposed to just a Patreon ad for the day. Here’s how they
were received.



In 2 days my Patreon video is 1 dislike away from being my most disliked video
ever (that’s honor still belongs to my Fallout 4 video from November – people
are just as mad about Fallout no longer being a CRPG as they are about people
making money on their videos).

And then there are comments like this.



Also comments that bash other people’s crowdfunding efforts. Sigh.

Now, it’s not all bad, obviously. 11 people have supported me and many people
have boosted it or wished me luck. Those people are awesome.

Still, the negative reception makes me wonder – what exactly is the problem? I
really don’t understand the backlash for a service that is completely optional.
It’s really no different than a Twitch streamer having a subscription button
(except on Patreon you can choose the amount you want to give). I’m not really
into the streaming scene, but is there as much pushback against the existence of
Twitch subscriptions? How about people having a PayPal donation link on their
sites?

People run their Patreons in many different ways. Some give exclusive content to
patrons, some send out physical rewards or spend time on Skype with patrons at
certain levels. Some treat Patreon more as a tip jar, where there are no
different reward levels or ‘goals’. I have my preferences for certain practices
over others. If someone runs their Patreon in a way I don’t like, then I just
don’t support them. If I don’t think their content is worth any of my money,
then I just don’t support them. If I find they spend more time promoting their
Patreon then making content… getting the picture?



What is it about the idea of people giving their viewers the option of tossing
them a few bucks that offends people so?

INTRODUCING… THE MEDIA MAVENS PODCAST

It finally happened! After mulling it over and considering it for months, I’ve
started a podcast with my good friend Riley!



It’s a biweekly podcast about pop culture – video games, tv, movies, books. The
plan is to have the first half of the podcast be a discussion of all the media
we’ve been consuming recently, and then have the second half be a more in-depth
discussion and analysis of a particular piece of media or media topic.

The first episode is just Riley and I, and it’s more about introductions than
analysis, but in the future we plan to have guests on to talk with us.

You can find the podcast at https://mediamavens.simplecast.fm/ or on iTunes or
Stitcher.

I hope you give it a listen!

PODCAST SUGGESTIONS

I’ve added a number of new podcasts to my feed recently and just wanted to share
some of them in case you’re looking for more good things to listen to:

Pop Culture Coven is a brand new podcast from Tzufit. I have to say, I’m missing
Justice Points, so I’m really glad to hear Tzufit on a new podcast. Each
episode features her talking to one guest about one character from media (games,
movies, shows, books), and lasts only 20 minutes. There have been four episode
so far and it’s great! A lot of editing goes into it, and it offers a highly
polished, in-depth look at some great characters. I was a guest on the second
episode, where we discussed Skyler White from Breaking Bad.

This Week in Ladies is a podcast I just started listening to, but it’s already a
new favourite. Becca and Allison discuss things that ladies are interested in.
So… everything. Though their comics segment goes over my head I really like
their discussions on topics like sports movies with lady athletes (where they
appreciate the best ever sports movie – A League of their Own) and Oscar
winners.

Idle Weekend features Danielle and Rob having detailed discussions about video
games, the game industry and what they’re currently watching and playing. Smart
people saying smart things about video games.

 

 

Black Lodge Screening Room features Jessica (or Liore of Cat Context) and Max
talking about horror movies. This monthly(ish) podcast talks about horror movies
both new and old, analyzes new trailers and offer thoughts on both the good and
the bad in scary movies.

The Read features Kid Fury and Crissle talking pop culture news and throwing
shade. They also answer listeners’ relationship and life questions, and get mad
about people who do dumb shit. It’s hilarious and cathartic.

APPROPRIATING PROJECT MANAGEMENT CULTURE

I’ve always loved project management. Planning, execution, control, these are
all things I’m very passionate about. I remember when I was just a wee lass,
sitting on my father’s knee, working on Gantt charts together. I’d plan out
everything from the building of Lego structures to breaking down how I’d spend
my time at the park each weekend. Such good memories.

As I grew up, my passion for project management only grew. I read the PM body of
knowledge guide yearly, tracked down all the articles I could as the Internet
became a source of information. I wasn’t just a fan of one particular
methodology – waterfall, agile, process-based… I did them all. I took all the
PM-related business courses, got all the certifications I could. Now I stand
here, a proud, lifelong project manager, working among people just like myself.

But something’s been happening. Something terrible. Outsiders are infiltrating
my field.

The other day I met a woman at a project management conference. I only had to
glance at her to know that she was new to this, she didn’t grow up immersed in
the culture like I did. When I asked she couldn’t even tell me the date the
first project management software was released. Maybe she should spend less time
perfecting her winged eye-liner and overall presentation and more time learning
important facts like these. I walked away then, as she clearly had nothing of
use to say and wasn’t worth my time.

The next week, after meticulously researching her background, finding her on
professional networks and asking other project managers about her, my worst
fears were confirmed. She was new to this. She didn’t go to school for project
management – she had a psychology degree! She also had other interests –
reading, cooking, rock climbing, video games. How she has the nerve to call
herself a project manager when she spends so much time on other, less
schedule-driven, pursuits is beyond me.

How did she get here? From talking to people who know her, it seems she had
started at an inferior position, then because people “enjoyed working with her”
and “found her to be very competent and organized” some people started calling
her a PM. I can only assume these phrases are euphemisms. Yeah, she
“communicates well,” I’m sure. Hmph.

The thought of this woman, this FAKER, calling herself a project manager was bad
enough, but I soon found out it was even worse than I expected. Over the last
couple years she had managed (if you can call it that) a number of projects, for
which she received financial compensation. She was paid! She doesn’t love
project management, she isn’t a fan, she’s doing this for money! My stomach
churns at the thought of hapless corporations handing over their hard-earned
money to this phony, being taken advantage of, dazzled by her smart business
suits and exceptional cheekbones. I don’t care if the project stakeholders are
satisfied, if people are choosing to work with this wretched woman. She’s no
project manager, and I’m sick of people like her using this thing that I love
for their own personal gain.

This can’t be allowed to stand. I’m going to tell the world.

STILL ALIVE

Oh, hello there. It’s been quiet around here lately, hasn’t it. Sadly, my focus
seems to be on videos now. Well, not sadly. I like doing videos, and the
feedback I’ve been getting is great, but I am sad I don’t write as much anymore.

While it’s been quiet on the blog, I myself have not been quiet. In fact, I
can’t seem to shut the hell up. I’ve been a guest on a number of podcasts
lately, 3 of which are out for your listening pleasure.

First, I was on the Rocket Pants Podcast. I talked to Alex, Chris and Jon about
what I’ve been playing, tried to answer some really tough trivia questions and
we had a discussion about whether retro or modern gaming is superior.

I was also on The GameEnthus podcast, for the second time. I talked to Aaron,
Mike, and Tiny about a ton of things. Deadpool, XCOM2, MAGfest, the X-Files, the
list goes on.

Last, but not least, I was on the RF Generation Collectorcast. My boyfriend Will
and I were both invited on to talk about the SegaCD with Duke Togo and WildBil.
This was cool, as it was really the first time Will and I have collaborated on
any content creation. Also, I got to talk about my love of FMV games.

I also recorded two other podcasts which should be coming out shortly. I’ll let
you know when those are out.

Video-wise, I’ve put out a few things. A couple highlights are my top 5 games on
the PS1. It was hard to not just pick 5 JRPGs.



Also, I also just put out a funny/sad video where I read a bunch of mean
comments people have left on my channel. It seems to be pretty popular so far,
because who can look away from a car crash?





Also, I’m working on a secret mystery thing, but that’s not ready to be revealed
yet. (Oooh, mysterious)

That’s it for now. Hopefully the writing bug bites me again at some point.
