I gotta say, it's been a good time to come back to Overwatch. Five new heroes, plus all of the ones I missed out on in the three or four years I haven't been playing. The Sanrio collaboration that actually had me contemplating playing Widowmaker for the first time in my life. A renewed drive to play the first multiplayer shooter I ever fell in love with. Something I am most definitely going to continue to do now that Blizzard just announced a freakin' Nier: Automata collaboration.

These are certainly two games I never expected to come together—despite the fact that Nier has somehow managed to show up in just about every damn videogame I enjoy at this point. It has a whole-ass 24-player raid series in Final Fantasy 14, was one of the first major collaborations in my beloved gacha game Nikke, and 2B was even a guest fighter in Soulcalibur 6. But I dunno, I certainly never expected her, 9S, and A2 to make an appearance in the funny cartoon hero shooter.
