I Spent Two Weeks As A True <i>Overwatch</i> Idiot<em></em>
Overwatch, they say, is about teamwork. They’re correct, but what they don’t tell you (because it should be obvious to anyone with a child’s understanding of how video games work) is that you shoot at your opponents, not your teammates.

Conan O'Brien Attempts To Improve UC Irvine's Anteater Mascot

Milan Lucic Scores Controversial "Kicked" Goal
The above play by Boston's Milan Lucic was ruled no goal on the ice, as the referees determined that Lucic kicked the puck into the back of the net.
