OPENING
- Just the two of us
- What has pulled us out of Overwatch...and back in?
- Been playing for a year - what will Blizz do to keep us for another year?

HOWEVER! There was apparently a lot more going on that we suspected...but still leads us ultimately nowhere. http://www.overpwn.com/news/233-sombra-recap-for-october-19th-2016
Won’t be holding my breath for 11/1. It’ll be cool to see what happens, but nothing major is happening until BlizzCon.
Anything we should keep in mind with the patch notes from Halloween or on 10/18?
- Is it bad for something to be overpowered?
- Neat article on Really Bad Chess that refers to Overwatch and the concept of game balance. http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/gaming/2016/10/really_bad_chess_proves_that_games_don_t_need_to_be_fair.html

Thanks to big_fisch_OP for 5 stars: “If you like podcasts and like Overwatch, then you may have time to listen to this podcast while you play Overwatch. Do not however try to play this podcast and listen to Overwatch, that’s just wrong.”
- Thanks to everyone and bye
