Overgosh’s Overwatch Timeline Source Links Post!
This is a catalogue of my timeline’s source links for ease of access and greater transparency. It also serves as a text-based timeline for those who prefer to read the information without the infographics! Hope you enjoy. For information on my personal estimations and other FAQs, check out my Info Breakdown post!
Here is a key for the information in this timeline:
"firm” year given
timeframe given; approximate year
no timeframe given; personal estimation
Note that this timeline has specific years marked for my approximations, which I decided to nix in my visual timeline for less rigidity. I’m keeping it here for a bit more clarity considering the format.

“Annenberg Report” [Blog #12]
Lack of Representation though Information Graphs
By Ray Peralez
After reading, the Annenberg Report, I was astounded by many of the findings. After evaluation each page, I didn’t expect to see such lopsided numbers in certain topics that were discussed. As I mentioned in class, I was shocked to read that, “A total of 487 creators were credited. Almost a quarter of these creators were women (22.6%) and 77.4% were men.” [Page 7, Annenberg Report]. I didn’t think that the percentages would be as low as they were for women. As if being able to read my mind, the report also addressed that, “Stories with a female director attached 5.4% more girls/women on screen than those stories without female direction.” [Page 7, Annenberg Report]. While progressing through this text, I began to wonder about different means in which to change these obscure figures. Although it was only one page, I do appreciate that this reading included a page at the talked about how people can be more involved in making a difference for the equality of women.
On a much less serious note, I chose to compare the Annenberg to that of an infographic from vg247.com, which talks about data results from a game called Guild Wars 2 before it was officially on sale to the public. Simply put, this type of a game has a lot to do, which means that different kinds of information can be gathered based upon the decisions of people. From this data, developers can then make decisions on how to expand the game over time. With all of these preferences being assessed, some people have felt forgotten about. What may be popular in one year may not be the next. While this entertainment medium is (in my opinion) nowhere near the severity of women’s equality, people like myself can still in some small way empathize with those that do feel marginalized. If there’s one thing that I understand, it’s knowing I have the power to make a difference for people outside of games based upon my decisions.
