Hands-On With Overwatch’s New Hero Moira – IGN Access
The new Overwatch hero, Moira, is extremely similar to some of the game’s other supports, but also unlike anything I’ve ever played.
She’s a mix of healer and damage dealer that immediately made me think of ana, with a purple and yellow color scheme that’s reminiscent of Zenyatta, but her actual kit sets Moira far apart from the supports before her.
Her heal, Biotic Grasp, is basically a friendly flame thrower that drains her life-saving biotic energy to heal her allies. That energy recharges overtime, but Moira can also fill it back up by using her alternate fire, a damage-dealing lock-on beam which acts a lot like a weaker version of Symmetra’s basic attack but with a much longer range.

Thor: Ragnarok’s 5 Biggest WTF Questions
The Mighty Thor has returned in Thor: Ragnarok! And he’s brought a few friends with him. But for as fun and wicked 1980s awesome as this third Asgardian film is, there are still plenty of dangling story threads and questions that we’re still puzzling over.
Of course, many of these issues may be resolved in future MCU movies… but for now, here are our 5 biggest WTF questions about Thor: Ragnarok…
Complete and utter spoilers follow, of course.
Look, Thor’s Asgardian buddies have never gotten the most extensive treatment, in part because his solo movies have had to split time between them and his Earth pals. But now that Jane Foster and the rest were jettisoned for Ragnarok, you’d think at least the Lady Sif would’ve gotten a bigger part.

Justice League Cast on Zack Snyder vs. Joss Whedon’s Influence
With Justice League only weeks away from hitting theaters, it was inevitable that there would be discussion about the transition of directing duties from Zack Snyder, who stepped away from the film due to personal tragedy, to Joss Whedon, who handled directing reshoots.
At a press conference at the film's London junket, star Ben Affleck and producer Deborah Snyder spoke out about the transition between the two directors, and why, in their minds, Justice League remains Snyder's movie.
"The movie is Zack's DNA," said Affleck, who reprises his role of Batman/Bruce Wayne from the Snyder-directed Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. "He cast the movie, he designed the movie. People, I think, don't understand who don't work on movies, which is how much work is done in prep. The casting, the sets get built, the story is written, the ship is in essence sailing.
