Since I'm a content creator for Overwatch, well known for Pharah, I'm lucky that Blizzard invite me to multiple events throughout the year. This year Blizzard invited me to Gamescom to play through Junkertown and interview Tim Ford, who is the Lead Software Engineer, Gameplay Systems at Blizzard Entertainment (Genuinely one of the most positive, motivated and caring people that I've met) Picture of us together: https://imgur.com/a/BYqhb

Tim told me a story about what he and Jeff does daily called BobaTime, which the both go out and get Boba Tea - One time they were traveling and saw a shop called "BobaTime" and Jeff wanted some merchandise from the place, which he didn't get. I promised Tim that I'd get something for Jeff if I ever met him at Blizzcon, and we agreed it as a challenge.

Luckily before I went to Blizzcon, I had a bit of time to go around Cali, and found a BobaTime store - ordered some Boba Tea for myself and a mug for Jeff. I was able to find Jeff just before the event started and had a short conversation with him (He knew who I was, and loved my Pharah gameplay) which was also insane.

Anyway, here's the picture of us together (and the mug): https://imgur.com/a/57Tm2

I also got a personal email from Jeff with Thanks, everyone I've met from the Blizz team has been really amazing, and want to give me thanks to all of them for the efforts made to create such a great game which I now actually live from (through content)

Nice little story to share!
