It’s very spoopy.

After a few rumours and getting far too excited, Blizzard has released its Halloween update for Overwatch! The patch brings a number of really cool changes, along with some skins and some new sprays.

Check them out!

Queen of the Witches. She slaaaaays.

There are a number of new skins, from Frankenstein Roadhog, to a Jack-o-lantern Reaper, a cold Reinhardt and even Mercy’s had a witchy make-over.

And, of course, the new sprays!

The theme seems to be the heroes as kids going trick or treating. It’s wonderful.

And my personal favourite:

Grumpy Soldier Dad is displeased with this trick and/or treat-ery.

The newest Brawl mode is rather fun too. Named Junkenstein’s Revenge, you play as either Ana, Soldier 76, Hanzo and McCree, and fight off waves of enemies and other heroes who have taken up the role of the bosses with their new spooky skins.

    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
