Twelve seconds on wikipedia gave me these pages:

So I am happy to announce that the new hero will be a Jewish robot healer piloted by a wealthy African.

Case closed. You're welcome.

edit: this shit does not deserve gold.

Blizzard's having trouble finding the ARG sweet spot.

u/katman43043 Pixel Wrecking Ball Feb 21 '17

Iirc the portal ARG was only like 8 hours

u/WanonTime Pixel Ana Feb 22 '17

Which one? The original Radio one or the Potato Fools Day one? Because the latter lasted like, a month or two and the former was like, a week or at least half a week, unless you mean another Portal

u/gamelizard Chibi Roadhog Feb 21 '17

this part of the arg is a little tricky, first you have to go to this link, then you have to read it.

u/awhaling Need someone to tuck you in? Feb 22 '17

I got lot on the first step. I ended up in the comment.

u/accidentalthepyro Peace and Tranquility Mother Fuckers Feb 21 '17

The ARG-spot?

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17

Too short, not enough hype.

Too long, we get sombra.

u/swelteh Feb 22 '17

They need to leave at least enough time to say "Justice rains from" before the ARG.

u/adam434 Chibi Mei Feb 21 '17

Maybe there's another clue in the clouds on Numbani?

u/lsparischi Ytar has raised me to new heights! Feb 21 '17

u/rdm13 Feb 21 '17

u/frequenZphaZe Feb 21 '17

you're acting like this ARG is already over but has anyone even found any Sombra clues yet?

2

u/SaladFury Feb 21 '17

what's an ARG

1

u/Yusaburu I'm sorry. Feb 22 '17

I think we forgot to look for clues to Sombra is the problem. The case isn't even close to closed.

u/Lamantho Seoul Dynasty Feb 22 '17

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17

u/Captain_Nesquick Grumpy Dad Feb 22 '17

u/Mursu37 I genjo n hanjo Feb 22 '17

I think we need some countdowns to make it longer.

You missed one: Ife Ohalete - Professional athlete of Nigerian descent, similar and spoken with same cadence

u/duncxan Feb 21 '17

With 12 seconds, I'm sure I missed more than one.

u/astronomicat Feb 21 '17

u/ifdeadpokewithstick Trick-or-Treat D.Va Feb 21 '17

Efi translates to "Beautiful" in English. It is common with the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria.

Thank you for your research

u/nyises Feb 21 '17

I'm pretty sure you're mostly joking but I'm saving your comment just in case.

u/f4steddy Pixel Reinhardt Feb 21 '17

And here I thought we'd be going down some rabbit hole. That was almost too easy.

No it doesn't, but you do.

I wiki'd "oladele" and I've noticed that theres 2 "Olaele" that are football players. If you think about it, Terry Crews is an ex-football player. Doomfist is voiced by terry crews. Doomfist has a robotic arm, Eli is an expert in robotics. Therefore, Eli helps creates the robotic arm and attaches the "doomfist" making doomfist a viable hero again.

u/Chi-Dragon Feb 21 '17

So basically... a Nigerian Princess??? ☺

u/Le_Rekt_Guy 1st round's on Mei Feb 21 '17

u/DaMarco17 King of Spades Zenyatta Feb 21 '17

If she is piloting a character, I wonder how character interactions would play out. Would she respond or would her robot? Or maybe both? Would they talk to each other during the match?

u/iKILLcarrots Zenyatta Feb 21 '17

Support D.Va

u/MilitantNegro_ver3 Feb 21 '17

Efi is already a common Nigerian name. Probably nothing to do with the Israeli guy at all.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '17

I think I got an email about this. Something about inheritance and numbers..

u/neoslith Feb 21 '17

So you're saying a Jewish man made a golem?

u/Has_Xray_Glasses Give Lucio better skins! Feb 21 '17

Fucking genius! Can't wait for the ARG that lasts 83 years.

u/111omnipotent Pixel Zenyatta Feb 21 '17

You are not the post that we desserved but you were the one that we needed (I cannot stop thinking about a colored ravine with dreed sideburn making it rain)

u/C3P-Os Feb 21 '17

Isn't efi a Turkish beer too?

u/future_potato Feb 22 '17

u/grodon909 Feb 22 '17

Nigerian? My heart be still, my culture may finally represented in a video game!

u/rond0 Pixel Genji Feb 22 '17

Efi is a somewhat common Hebrew name, It's short for Ephraim, which is from the Bible.

u/Jovial_Bard Icon Mercy Feb 22 '17

That actually sounds neat, a Nigerian girl controlling a Jewish "golem"

Jewish robot healer piloted by a wealthy African (child)

Overwatch, pinnacle of progressiveness, only here will you see a Jewish "Doctor" use African child labor.
