Today is the Fourth of July, which means most people will be spending the day relaxing and the night reveling. For me, this holiday has always felt a lot like New Year’s Eve — not only is it almost at the exact opposite end of the calendar, but it’s also largely a lot of build-up to a nighttime showing of lights and noise.

I definitely prefer it over New Year’s, but it’s still one of those holidays that, as a kid, I used to look forward to greatly because it meant staying up late and playing with explosives. At some point, it went from something I was excited about to something I remembered being excited about, which means it’s hard to ever live up to what I remember it feeling like.

But y’know what? I’m still going to make things explode and have fun doing so. I hope all you Stateside folks do the same!

Proving no day is safe from the sudden onset of Blizzard-related news, the official Overwatch site released an in-universe report from the Times of Numbani which comments on the escape of Akande Ogundimu from Helix Security International.

We already knew Stukov would be hitting the Heroes of the Storm PTR very soon, but we didn't know what other changes would come alongside Stukov's debut.

As promised yesterday, we now have an official look at Alexei Stukov, the next hero coming to Heroes of the Storm.

Given yesterday’s teaser, it may not come as a huge shock to learn Stukov has officially been announced as the next hero to join Heroes of the Storm’s Nexus.

Who doesn't love news drops at 8:00 p.m.?

It was less than an hour ago that Blizzard teased what we expect to be Stukov's arrival in the Nexus, which means it's also time to make adjustments to Heroes of the Storm's previous new hotness, Malthael.

Yesterday, pre-orders opened for JINX's upcoming Overwatch hoodies -- hoodies that look pretty dang awesome.

What? It’s not like I didn’t warn you guys!

Now let’s get to the remaining seven questions.

Are you ready?
