Is Heroes of the Storm ready for a comeback?
It's been ten years since Blizzard released Heroes of the Storm, their unique take on the MOBA genre. Bobby has a long history with this game, and Amanda just played it for the first time.

Check out an episode from 2014 where Bobby talks about Heroes of the Storm for the first time (around 52 minutes).
And another episode from 2015 when Bobby is completely addicted to the game (around 22 minutes).
