Over the weekend alongside the Overwatch League Grand Finals, Blizzard revealed the next hero coming to Overwatch 2. In keeping with the company's plan to introduce a new hero every season, in December, alongside the game's Season 2 update, players will be greeted by a new tank hero. 

Ramattra will be the next hero coming to Overwatch 2. This time around, Ramattra seems poised to be a tank with shield abilities.

In the Origin Story video, we learn more about Ramattra, a war machine leader of the Null Sector on a mission to create a better world for Omnics no matter the cost. Initially, Ramattra was a peaceful character that would primarily shield allies, but a switch flipped after encountering the harsh realities of battle.

We don't have any gameplay details yet, so we don't know what loadout or abilities the new hero will have. The background lore for the character indicates a shield ability, but that's all we can really guess for now. Season 2 kicks off on the 6th of December, so we'll all get the chance to try out the new character then. As we saw with Overwatch 2's first-season hero, Kiriko, there will be a grind in place to unlock Ramattra. If you buy the season pass, you'll unlock the new hero instantly. If not, you'll have to grind up to level 55 to unlock them for your roster.

KitGuru Says: Have you been playing Overwatch 2 during its first season? Are you going to jump back in for Season 2 and the new tank hero?

Youtube comments have historically been a place of rampant homophobia, spam links and the occasional witty one liner, but in the past few days they've changed drastically. Thanks to Google finally completing its transition to link Youtube comments with Google+, the user base has rioted.

Google had pledged to twin its video site and social network a few months back, but has only recently completed the move. Now you have to have a Google+ account to comment on Youtube and there are advanced filtering systems to help prevent profanity and hate speech. There's also accountability, since everyone is forced to use their real name now – another feature many people aren't happy about.

Similarly many commenters have complained that their comment and share numbers have gone down drastically, where people simply don't want to use the new Google+ system and it's causing some small to medium video producers to suffer because of it.

In a gesture of solidarity against the new regime, many Youtube commenters have started pasting an ACII tank along with a stick figure – usually called Bob – that's declared way “against Google+.” The comment then asks you to paste the image and text on other Youtube videos if you agree. Consequently, almost every popular Youtube video now has a comment section that looks like this:

tanks
No word if Google plans to roll out its own digital version of Tienanmen Square Tank Man

Some have suggested that Google's reasoning behind this move – to help reduce spam and improve the relevancy of comments on the site – is a smokescreen for an artificial bump in its Google+ userbase. Google currently claims to have over 300 million active users on its social network and that number is likely to go up massively with the inclusion of every Youtube commenter.

Because of this heavy commitment to Google+ development though, a few analysts have suggested there's little point in this form of protest, since Google will just ride the storm out, knowing how traditionally short the internet's attention span is. 

Not everyone is against the new system though. Some have praised it for the ease at which you can share a video with people on Google+, thereby potentially increasing it's audience. These people seem like a small minority at the moment though.

KitGuru Says: But forget Youtube and Google+ users, what do you guys think? Do you care about the new system and do you think once the tank phase is complete, we'll have something a bit more intuitive than what was there before? 

[Thanks Time]

We’ve all owned an Artic Cooling product, haven’t we?  For most of us the Freezer 7 Pro was our first ‘partner in crime’ as we tried to get unpaid-for-performance out of a lowly CPU. When you search for that cooler on the web, you get over 3 million hits. Nice. So why has Brice Vandervoorde and his team decided to get brave with one of the most famous logos on the market?

It looks like Arctic is so happy with its name that it wants to expand the brand out to a wide variety of new product ranges.

Arctic new brand line up for 2010
Arctic brand for every occasion

We understand Arctic Cooling – that’s a no brainer.

The audio and power markets are also straightforward.

Everyone who's met him, knows that Brice is an evil genius, but what does Arctic mean by ‘Hobby’ ?

Well, we can tell you !

That new product line up seems to include remote control Panzers [Full sized? – Ed]. Nice.

We’ll leave you with our favourite, the brand new Arctic cooling solution for the up-coming GTX490, as presented by the stunning Wendy (click the image to get a better idea of the scale involved).
