For those paying attention, we have all seen that Overwatch has done some pretty massive things in 2026.
In short:
- They dropped the “2” from the title

Known throughout the interwebs simply as M0D3Rn, Ash is bad at video games. An old guard gamer who suffers from being generally opinionated, it comes as no surprise that he is both brutally loyal and yet, fiercely whimsical about all things electronic. On occasion will make a youtube video that actually gets views.
