Overwatch: Origins Edition 500-Follower Giveaway

buibuiboota:

Hey, folks! It’s time for my first ever giveaway. As some of you know, I won the Curse Contest for a free copy of Overwatch: Origins Edition! It’s hella cool that I won such a large-scale giveaway butttt… I already have the game! So, I decided to do a regifting sort of thing. No hard feelings, Curse! Anyway, onto the important stuff.

♕ THE PRIZE 

♦ ONE copy of Overwatch: Origins Edition for PC (you will simply get a code, not a physical box).

☼ THE RULES 

You don’t have to be following me for the giveaway, but it’d be appreciated! Just check my blog for the kind of content you’ll find here and if you think you’d like me, then feel free to follow! Just please don’t follow for the giveaway and unfollow after it ends.

Obviously I’d appreciate it if you only entered if you actually need a copy of the game/want it for a close friend/relative. Please don’t be rude. Let someone get this who doesn’t have the funds otherwise to. If you only want to reblog to spread the news and not to enter, please put #notentering in the tags.

♦ Tag this as #ovwgiveaway so I can search it on your blog if you win!

♦ No giveaway blogs.

♦ Your ask box must be open.

♦ If there is no response within 48 hours, I will have to pick another winner.

♦ As mentioned, this is purely digital, so no address is required for this giveaway.

HOW TO ENTER  

1 Reblog = 1 Entry. Do not reblog multiple times. One entry per person.

Also, if not enough people enter (I’d say under 20), I have a right to cancel the giveaway and start over, just putting that in writing now. 

…aaand I think that’s about it! Giveaway ends June 3, 2016 @ 8:00 pm CST (a week from today)

Get Reblogging! The world could always use more heroes!

Overwatch has a pile of story you should know about

blizzardwatch:

Whoa oh no the Overwatch open beta is over what are we going to do now

Here’s something to keep you occupied: Overwatch has a veritable mountain of story hidden away in all the profiles, character descriptions, news releases, cinematics and everything else that’s been released. Really good story. Normally you’d be going ‘how the heck am I supposed to keep track of all of this,’ we know – which is why we’ve been piecing it all together for you

Overwatch and the Omnic Crisis – covers the formation of Overwatch and what the heck happened to make it all fall apart. Basically the foundation of Overwatch’s story.

Space Gorillas and Test Pilots – covers Winston and Tracer’s origins, and the weird possibility that apparently there’s still some kind of angry space gorilla infested moon colony up there.

Robots With Soul – WHAT THE HECK IS AN OMNIC why don’t they just call them robots what makes them different and why you should probably love Bastion even though, you know, he’s probably going to kill you a lot

Fallen Heroes – What’s up with Soldier: 76 and Reaper? What went down when Overwatch was disbanded, and why is Reaper so….reaper-y?

Junkrat and Roadhog – Weirdly even though these guys are supposedly comic relief and all that they’ve got a pretty sad backstory that says a lot about the state of the world after Overwatch fell apart

The Shimada Clan – Hanzo and Genji have a lot of beef with each other, probably because they tried to kill each other. Here’s why

Widowmaker and Talon – Who is Talon? Why are they in every Overwatch animated short? What are they up to, anyway? And who is the elusive and deadly Widowmaker?

Zarya and the second Omnic Crisis – You think the first Omnic Crisis was bad? Prepare for part two.

Symmetra and Lúcio

– What’s the beef between these two? Is Symmetra a bad guy? Maybe not, but the company she’s working for is pretty shady

McCree and the Deadlock Gang – IT’S HIGH NOON and McCree’s a former outlaw who decided to be a good guy until he decided not to. Or maybe he still is

Overwatch’s ongoing story – So how does all this stuff hook together in the cinematics? Where is the story going from here? Why isn’t any of this actually in the game – and why is that potentially a good thing?
