Hitman 2’s first expansion, a bank location with a mission called The Golden Handshake, launched today. I spent about an hour wandering around the bank, overflowing sinks, throwing crowbars at people, and being a general nuisance. As always, a first run through a Hitman level feels like just a taste of what’s on offer, and…
Fortnite’s “14 Days of Summer” event starts tomorrow. A different weapon will be unvaulted every day for one day only. There will also be a new daily limited-time mode and new daily challenges. See Epic’s post for all the details.
The weekend is for going rock climbing! I’m taking a class to learn to belay people so I can say “no, no, I’ll hold the rope” and cover up my ridiculous fear of heights. The weekend is also for playing video games. I’m really enjoying Lovely Planet 2, which looks relaxing but is actually twitchy…
Fortnite’s latest Creative mode, Prop Hunt, pits two teams of players against each other. One team disguises themselves as objects around the level, and the other team has to discover and eliminate them. It’s a little basic, but it’s fun.

Fortnite’s 9.30 patch adds a new item, the Chug Splash, which heals enemies and allies within its radius. The patch also vaults the boom bow and dual pistols and adds a damage delay to the Storm Flip. See the full notes for all the changes.
E3 might be over on paper, but not in our hearts. In the video above, Tim Rogers checks out the Fortnite booth, eats a lot of free food, and rightfully mocks Peely, because that character is a monster. Check it out!
The weekend is for no more E3. The hype demons have been placated for another year. We did it, everyone. I recently started taking kickboxing classes, which are really intimidating and fun! (I also may or may not have tweaked a muscle in my leg shouting “Press conferences!” and kicking a bag way too hard…

Fortnite has an official John Wick skin, but before it arrived, Keanu Reeves seemed to be in the game in the form of a Season 3 battle pass skin called the Reaper.
