@Zombia

I almost bought it digitally a few times on sale because I've always wanted to play it. But the DLC prices are a joke. So I'm glad to finally be able to own the full game + DLC in one physical copy. I'm still trying to decide if I should get the PS5 version or Switch 2 version.

It had one previously by Limited Run Games, this version has all the DLC expansions and improved performance though.

Need to sell my original version now.

Oh wow Rain World got a physical edition ? That's a _very_ interesting game but one that's quite a challenge too

Sad to hear about the delay, but I was 100% going to play AC 0 before trying the new one, so if I can get it early, that's all good!

It's time for you to play Dawnwalker. What an absolute fantastic game. And seriously, don't worry about the time limit. They should have handled it better in the prologue, because the prologue's time limit is very strict and relaxes significantly afterwards

South Africa Reaches Phase 2 Of Overwatch World Cup 2019

by Shelly van Heerden on 31 May, 2019

Due to sheer determination by the Competitive Overwatch of South Africa community, South Africa has received the go-ahead from Blizzard to begin the process of putting a national team together. Essentially, this means that we have been accepted into the pool of countries that may participate in the tournament in Anaheim, California.

So far, not much of the format has been given away just yet, but we know that preliminary rounds will start a few days before BlizzCon, and the Group Stages through Finals will take place at BlizzCon itself.

But how does it work?

This year, Blizzard have decided to allow the Overwatch community to lend a hand in putting their national teams together. It started a few weeks ago, as members of the community nominated themselves to fill certain managerial or administrative roles – the National Committee. This is made up of three main roles: General Manager, Head Coach, and Community Lead. Nominations were endorsed by community members, and from those endorsed, the top contenders (no pun intended) can be voted on from now until 9 June 2019.

To vote for the General Manager or Community Lead for South Africa, you must have an active Battle.net account in good standing within the South African region.

The candidates for General Managers are:
- Alastair “LagBeast” Bouman
- Juan-Claude “ŇŎŤXPĹOŜĬV” Oosthuyse
- Bracken “BLuR” Lee-Rudolph
- Alex “LexZA” Heyne
- Sam “TechGirlZA” Wright
- Shelly “Xenorra” van Heerden

The candidates for Community Leads are:
- Devon “JaggerJack” Schoemaker
- David “Paragon” Harding
- Jared “Gastlee” Lee
- Samantha “NaoriMizuki” Timms
- Lizelle “VirgoLiz” Smith
- Dylan “Authorize” Gallop
- Juantelique “TinyRedKitty” Kruger
- Christopher “TheBarnical” England

To vote for Head Coach, you must be one of the top (presumably 150) ranked players within South Africa, so likely mid-Platinum Skill Rating (SR) and up.

The candidates for Head Coach are:
- Johann “Seraphim” Muller
- Peter “NotGroot” Berens
- William “MinorMynah” Moultrie

If you plan to give your vote, make sure to consider the best possible candidates to make the team function at its best. You can reach out to each of them either through Twitter or through the COWSA Discord.

Let’s get this Wrecking Ball on the go!
