And now for something completely different! This past weekend I went to the Penny Arcade Expo in Boston. Seeing the diversity of people who were Overwatch cosplayers and the sheer passion they all had was inspiring. I set out to learn more about this delightful part of our community.
What I found wandering Boston's convention center was some of the most friendly people I have ever met. They were all beyond wonderful to work with! Thank you so much to everyone who made this video possible!
I play Overwatch everyday. I analyze it from a competitive perspective, and sometimes I can get burnt out. It can be easy to lose sight of why I fell in love with this game in the first place. Meeting these people, getting to know them, and hearing what makes Overwatch special to them was reinvigorating. It renewed my passion for the game. I hope it can do the same for you :)
PLEASE HELP! I want to tag everyone who is in the video and let them know that this exists, but I don't have contact information for about half of my interviews! If you recognize someone please let me know who they are in the comments!
