'Overwatch' rings in the Lunar New Year with capture the flag
Shortly after the hit hero shooter Overwatch launched last May, fans were treated to a slew of new character models themed for the upcoming 2016 Brazil Summer Olympics. That was just the beginning of Blizzard's extra content train, as they released more for Halloween and Christmas. Last week, they teased new stuff to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, which all goes live today. Players will be excited for the new skins, but the real win is the addition of a long-awaited capture the flag mode to the game.

Apple to offer Lunar New Year sale on January 6
TUAW readers in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and the Philippines can look forward to a special Apple promotion this Friday. On January 6, Apple is holding a "special one-day Apple shopping event" for "amazing iPad, iPod and Mac gifts for everyone." As with Apple's annual Black Friday sale, the company isn't giving anyone an idea of what the sale prices will be. You'll just need to visit the Apple online store for your particular country on Friday to see what's available and how the bargains stack up. Apple has designed a clever "Year of the Dragon" graphic made up of iPad Smart Covers for the various online stores. We'd love to hear from TUAW readers this Friday on what deals they were able to get.
