Cover art in this fanfic © Enderhood(Me) Overwatch © Blizzard Entertainment Chapter 1: Lost And Found The Void reminds Genji of his ‘death’. Silence,weightless,almost too peaceful… Walking in darkness along with his spirit dragon Ramen at his side,who hovered in mid air providing light source using its body and a sense of comfortableness with its presence. The dragon’s accompany made him less stressful and more determine to continue with his task—-To search for Hanzo’s twin dragon. Genji’s father has once mentioned the spirit dragon which they both born with were associated with balance and harmony, one cannot survive without another. In early young age, a spiritual bond has formed between him and his brother, no matter how far/which location,they can always sense each other’s thoughts and status.Even when both of them were sleeping/mediating,they can still communicate and interact through dreams/in a void like dimension where the spirit dragon lived respectively. Their father also informed each of them has an unique aura which can reflect their status.The stronger it glowed,the more positivity it showed about the person and vice versa. Anija… Genji stopped walking and closed his eyes,attempting to call out his brother. If you can hear me, please answer…. Silence. -P.1- Ever since his ‘death’, Hanzo’s aura grew weaker than before, the once bright azure blue color has now turned into a dim navy blue. After their encounter in Hanamura, he noticed the aura’s color has darkened and he can no longer sensed his brother’s thoughts(His brother must have block them from him). Whenever he tried to communicate with him spiritually,the weak navy blue light was the only response he got. Seeing his stubbornness, Genji eventually give up and they have remain unspoken for almost 2 months. Until yesterday, he felt an evil and dark presence forcefully entered the bond between two of them,as it proceeded, Genji felt the ‘thing’ slowly drained away his vitality and attempted to invade his mind. In the exact moment, he sensed a great amount of energy has transferred to him from his brother,destroying the evil presence in the process. Next second, he felt something snapped inside him, causing Genji flinched and screamed out loud in pain. Wheezing and coughing, he started to feel light headed and his surrounding started to spin.Genji tried to stay focus and fought back his dizziness, but darkness quickly took over and put him into sleep. The moment he woke up, Genji found himself in the void like dimension with his dragon lying next to him, guarding. The bond has been cut off… ‘What?’ Master Hanzo has just used up his remaining energy to save you from the dark presence. Genji can’t exactly process what his dragon meant but he knew that his brother was in great danger. Without hesitation, he got up and searched for his aura, attempting to trace his location. However, what he found was a dying shades of midnight blue hovering in midair, his brother’s presence has disappeared and no where to be found. -P.2- ‘Is there anyway to find my brother?’ I suggest to search for his dragons. While Master Hanzo was destroying the intruder, he has sent them to protect you and I can sense that they are nearby this area… ‘Let’s make haste then…’ -XXX- The vitality started to recover slowly, Genji felt slightly better and he wished that after finding Hanzo’s dragons, he will be able to wake up soon.(The void dimension sort of act as a sanctuary for them to recover, not only just a place for communication). As Genji continued to walk, he silently prayed for his brother, hoping he will be safe. I really need your help… Silence. Genji put every emotion he can into his thought, attempted to summon the twin dragons. He can feel his patience slowly wearing thin after an endless walk and drainage of his energy. He really hoped the dragons can be more cooperated and stopped playing hide and seek with him. Your master is in great danger! If you truly want to save him, stop hiding and show yourselves!!! There’s a spark of blue appeared in the air. お願いします… -P.3- Two bright blue light slowly emerged from darkness and progressively turned into 2 dragons spiraled around each other in a graceful movement. As soon as they reached Genji,they stopped and landed in front of him. He sensed that the dragons were scared and unwilling to lock eyes with him, part of the reason Genji assumed they were still feeling guilty and shameful to kill him under the order of their master. ‘Can you show me where my brother is?’ Genji asked. Both dragon looked at each other for a second, slowly they nodded and began to fly upwards and transformed into a giant radiant of light through the process. As the light shined, Genji noticed the surrounding started to shift in a quick speed and he suddenly found himself lying on the floor, unable to move. A muffled beeping sound can be heard in a distance and there were voices talking loudly to him, the noise was unbearable and he can feel his head pounding and spinning again. Genji squeezed his eyes shut and tried to remain calm, few moments later, the pain and noise started to cease and he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was his spirit dragon hovering above him along with the twin dragons, all of them have shifted into a tiny form, watching closely. As Genji sat up, he noticed he was on a bed with medical monitors surrounded him, a regular beeping noise beeped softly next to him. It took him not long to connect the dots——He was currently in the Overwatch hospital wing,a place which brought him lots of painful memories and he’s WAY too familiar with the base’s layout. Without thinking,he removed every wires which connected his body with the monitors and dashed out swiftly, the twin dragons led their way immediately and his own dragon followed closely behind. Loud beeping noise filled in the room as he left, at that moment, Genji knew it was a rash move to dash out without knowing where his brother’s location exactly was, yet he can’t think of other choices, only the dragons knew where he was and no one -P.4- other than Genji and his father(who passed away almost 20+ years ago) cares deeply about his brother. Even if he sought out help in Overwatch, it needed to take a long time to get approval from the commander and went through every necessary procedure, by the time it completed,his brother may be dead already. Time can’t be waste. I’m coming anija…hang on… -XXX- Left,right,down,up,down… The twin dragons have led Genji to the city of Hanamura which located near the Overwatch base(Japan sector). As they proceeded, the dragons stopped suddenly in front of a dark alley which almost hidden between two buildings. Slowly, they flew inside and Genji approached cautiously, holding his wakizashi in case he got ambushed. The alley was quite narrow and small,only a single street light lit up to provide enough light source. Luckily the dragons were luminous and he had his advanced eyesight which allowed him to see better than average person thanks to Dr. Ziegler. Tin cans, rubbish bags littered around the floor and he can see giant rats and cockroaches crawling near the bins, searching for food. Near the end of the alley, he noticed the twin dragons were swarming around a small figure. As Genji took a closer look, he found that the figure was a young boy around 7-8 lying unconsciously on the ground, blood, cuts and bruise can be found almost everywhere on the boy’s body.Judging with his appearance, Genji assumed the boy should be a local Japanese who got abused by someone. As he continued to inspect, he noticed the boy was wearing a patient robe with small serial number printed on the right side and he wasn’t wearing any shoes.Half of the -P.5- face got buried by his own hair and a small topknot was tied loosely with a long yellow ribbon printed with traditional Japanese design. What Genji concerned was the tattoo on the boy’s left arm,which oddly resembled Hanzo’s dragon tattoo. The tattoo was a blessing from the dragon spirit, only the Marked Shimadas can receive the ‘Mark’, Genji recalled there’s no one besides his father, himself and Hanzo got the blessing, unless this boy… The mark, the twin dragons… ちくしょう… -P.6- Chapter 2: Ice-Breaking ‘…You should never rush off blindly with your sudden black out,everyone was worry about you…also it’s lucky that you have found him just in time, otherwise he is gone for good…’ Dr.

  • How Big Is Overwatch Download on Pc the Overwatch Archives Patch Is Huge—So It May Take a While to Download
    how big is overwatch download on pc The Overwatch Archives patch is huge—so it may take a while to download. You may not get into the game as fast as you imagined. Grab a drink and some snacks. The Overwatch Archives patch is a big one—and it’s going to take a while to download. Blizzard confirmed on Twitter that the Overwatch Archives patch clocks in around 15GB for PC and 21GB on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. “The Archive patch is a little larger this time to improve future patches,” Blizzard wrote on Twitter. Overwatch fans on Twitter and Reddit aren’t exactly pleased that Blizzard didn’t give players the option to pre-load the patch, as it has with other downloads. So what makes the update so massive? Blizzard did add a lot of content for the Overwatch Archives event, bringing both last year’s co-op brawl and a new one, Retribution. The Overwatch patch also adds the usual skins, sprays, and other cosmetics. But the large file size isn’t entirely due to the sheer amount of stuff. What Blizzard did is repackage the game’s files to make downloads in the future faster. Players are also reporting slower than average download speeds, but Blizzard said that’s because of the size of the patch and the amount of players trying to download it at once. Overwatch Archives is an anticipated event, and players want to get in now . Beyond the file clean-up and the event stuff, Blizzard tweaked a number of heroes, including D.Va, Reaper, Zenyatta, and Mei.

  • Overwatch's® Unusual Journey from Esport to LEGO®
    Overwatch’s® Unusual Journey From Esport to LEGO® Set It may surprise you to learn how few video games have made the leap to physical LEGO® theme sets. Despite the major overlap between fans of both hobbies, only about a half-dozen video games have been brickified. That includes LEGO Minecraft, LEGO Super Mario, the mini- packs of LEGO Dimensions (Sonic, Midway, Portal), the recently announced standalone Sonic set, and LEGO Overwatch®. There are always challenges when taking any popular standalone franchise and bringing it into the child-friendly, creativity-empowering world of LEGO theme sets. And Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch is a prime example of how that process can work, highlighting a central issue with some existing entertainment properties. Guns and colorful LEGO building bricks don’t usually mix. In fact, the company goes to great lengths to avoid representing modern weapons in any real-world theme sets. So, when the company’s talented designers started contemplating recreating key elements of the Overwatch video game with bricks, they were faced with a problem: How do you turn a hero shooter into something that meshes with the LEGO Group’s family-friendly toys? The solution came by examining the game’s rich backstory and characters, which have evolved to the point of existing beyond the gameplay itself. “When you start talking to people at the LEGO Group about what world this game lives in and what context it lives in, it's a franchise born within a game,” said the LEGO Group’s Sten Funder Lysdahl. “And I think in many ways we can draw similarities to other franchises which also have guns.

  • Introduction on the Surface, Overwatch Is a Simple Game. As You Advance Through the Competitive Rank Tiers, the Game Evolves
    Introduction On the surface, Overwatch is a simple game. As you advance through the competitive rank tiers, the game evolves into something completely different. Eventually, you reach the professional tier of players (Overwatch League) where the game is completely different than the game that most of the players are playing. The focus for this analysis isn’t on the professional scene. Instead, data gathered from the actual competitive player base of the game will be used. In particular, the focus will be on the heroes in the game classified as “Damage” heroes. For those new to Overwatch, each hero in the game is assigned a broad role (Tank, Damage, Support). Tank heroes focus on soaking damage for their team, Damage heroes focus on damage dealing, and Support heroes focus on healing up the team. The Data For Overwatch League data, we have access to a wide variety of statistics through the official Overwatch League website. There is also a fan run website called Winston’s Lab that also has a good amount of data stored as well. But, these websites only track the professional players. All statistics come from the website Overbuff. Overbuff isn’t perfect as the average rank of players on the website skew a bit higher than normal, but it has lined up with official Blizzard statistics in the past and should work reasonably well for a statistical sample of players. The four statistics that I will be looking at for the Damage heroes are: Pick Rate, Win Rate, Eliminations per Game and Damage per Game. The heroes have also been reclassified into two roles: Hit-scan and Projectile.

  • Trailers in Between Short Video Forms from Digital Games to Movies and Back
    Trailers in between. Short video forms from digital games to movies and back 51 TRAILERS IN BETWEEN SHORT VIDEO FORMS FROM DIGITAL GAMES TO MOVIES AND BACK Enrico GANDOLFI Kent State University Roberto SEMPREBENE Luiss Guido Carli University ABSTRACT Promotional trailers represent a significant trend in most entertainment sectors. However, little efforts have been done in enlightening this expressive form when related to video games. This article aims to address such a lack by analyzing game/movie (inspired by digital games) trailers as a crossroad between digital entertainment and films. The main intent is to exploit a comparative lens to uncover leading traits of short videos according to the medium that that they are portraying. Therefore, three case studies – i.e. Assassin’s Creed, Warcraft, and Overwatch – are presented and unpacked with a combination of design and semiotic tools (from Greimas’ narrative program to game heuristics) and the concepts of symmetry, dissymmetry and asymmetry advanced by Roger Caillois. Results point to a cross-media coherence between different types of trailers, and future developments are suggested for exploiting them as an informing research object. Keywords: Assassin’s Creed, cross media, game trailers, movie trailer, Overwatch, Roger Caillois, tie-in, Warcraft. Trailers could be considered a strategic crossroad between movies and video games. Both the media harness this expressive form for promotional and informative purposes, and audiences are increasingly involved in their re-formulation and interpretation, from honest trailers and glitch compilations to mash-ups and machinima. We could describe trailers as a “short audiovisual content that anticipates a media experience”. Despite this definition may sound vague, it represents a starting point for dealing with such a heterogenous phenomenon.
