Watching Blizzard: We have moved beyond time and space

I'm pretty sure the week is almost over, but I could be wrong. You may want to check my math on that.

But in the meanwhile, let's rundown the day's news.

Rialto map and Hanzo changes are live on the Overwatch PTR

• Go check 'em out yourself!
• And don't forget, a Symmetra rework is on the horizon.

Can technology solve toxicity?

• Whether it can or it can't, Blizzard is giving it a try. The Heroes of the Storm team is now using software to help verify incidents of abusive chat so the team can dish out silences and bans more quickly.
• This follows up on Overwatch experimenting with AI to curb harassment.
• Will any of it work? Who knows... but it will be interesting to see it play out.

I must have this Geguri jersey

• You can now buy custom Overwatch jerseys with your own name and number on them. But who wants those when you could get a jersey with your favorite player's name and number?
• And when I say "favorite player," I mean Geguri, because of course I do.

The Hearthstone team plans a lot further out than I thought...

• The Witchwood may be brand new, but the next two Hearthstone expansions are already nearly finished. (And if you're bored with such tedious matters of time, there are plenty of other Hearthstone hijinx in that post.)
• After Alex wrote this post, he commented, "I just giggled to myself adding a header image to a post. So... enjoy changing it tomorrow." I'm not sure who Alex things he's dealing with, but of course we didn't change it.

In other Hearthstone news, Monster Hunts are coming

• And they seem dang cool. Look for this single-player adventure in game on April 26.

In other other Hearthstone news, there's a new Brawl

• Sometimes I write posts about these Brawls, but I just hate this one. That's really all you need to know. It's terrible.
• Okay, maybe I'm overstating things (a little). This week's brawl leaves you with a deck full of 1-mana cards that let you discover either a minion or a spell. Pick the type of card you want and then pick from one of three card options. Though it's nice that you don't need a big card collection to succeed in this Brawl, all the discovering means it's really slow and your random mishmash of cards could be good or bad (or terrible).
• Still, it's worth playing for the free classic pack.

And that's all there is to talk about today. I'll be back with you tomorrow to close out the week with — you guessed it! — another roundup. Until then, this is Liz, signing off for the night.
