Watching Blizzard: Hallow's End is upon us (Patreon)

• Not only do we have a new event in Heroes of the Storm to celebrate Hallow's End, we also have Overatch's resident bomb aficionado, Junkrat, added to the game's roster of heroes.

That's not the only spooky thing brewing with Blizzard

• If you're up for a more real-life approach to Hallow's End, Blizzard's annual Halloween pumpkin carving contest has begun. Fair warning, the competition can get pretty intense.

More raid testing on WoW's PTR means we're one step closer to Antorus

• Both tomorrow (Wednesday) and Friday will see more fights tested on the PTR, with the entire Forbidden Descent wing on LFR tested Wednesday, two Mythic encounters tested on Friday, and the Hope's End wing open throughout the weekend.
• And if you're not into testing things on the PTR, episode 3 of the Gladiator's Summit series was also released for your viewing pleasure.

Battle Net currency conversions will soon be a thing of the past for Canada, Japan, and New Zealand

• There isn't a specific date listed yet, but expect the change to go live before the end of the year.
