Overwatch 2 Mauga A Great Day Short Film Anime
Mauga, the newest tank hero in Overwatch 2 arrives Dec. 5 with Season 8, but to kick things off, Blizzard has released the cinematic short film ‘A Great Day’. This character features a kit designed to bash through the front lines and brawl his opponents in close-quarter combat, by wielding two powerful chainguns that can either be fired individually or in unison.



Mauga also offers a host of new abilities to support his team as well, including breaking his way through the front lines with Overrun, a charging ability that can’t be stopped by any crowd control abilities. Cardiac Overdrive lets the character engage both of his hearts and create an aura that reduces incoming damage, enabling allies to heal themselves while dealing damage.

Finally, when he really wants to tango up close with his foes, Mauga can unleash Cage Fight, his ultimate ability. Cage Fight traps nearby opponents in a cylindrical fighting ring. This barrier blocks enemy incoming damage or healing from the outside, forcing those trapped inside to face Mauga with Gunny, Cha Cha, and the barrage of infinite ammunition,” said Blizzard Entertainment.

Atari Pong was released on this day (November 29) in 1972 and some may not know that the game was developed by engineer Allan Alcorn as a training exercise assigned to him by company co-founder Nolan Bushnell. Ted Dabney, the second Atari co-founder, was so surprised by the quality of Alcorn’s work that he decided to manufacture the game for release in arcades.



This two-dimensional game essentially simulates table tennis, where the player controls an in-game paddle by moving it vertically across the left or right side of the screen. A second player controls a paddle on the opposing side and the goal is to reach eleven points before their opponent. Points are gained when one fails to return the ball to the other, similar to other electronic tennis games that Bushnell had played before developing Pong.

Atari Pong Released November 29 1972 Retrospective
Bushnell and Alcorn installed the Pong prototype at Andy Capp’s Tavern during August 1972 near the bar’s other entertainment machines: a jukebox, pinball machines, as well as Computer Space. After seeing its success, Bushnell embarked on a business trip to Chicago to demonstrate Pong to executives at Bally and Midway Manufacturing. Ultimately, it was decided that the game would be more profit for Atari to manufacture rather than license.
