How many times more than twice will we mention Fortnite on this week’s Kotaku XP? Click “play” to find out!
In Kotaku XP, Gita Jackson and I discuss 10 Kotaku stories for around 30 seconds each. I did not get a haircut yet. I promise I will do so very soon. I’m waiting until I have exactly enough hair that the barber is palpably angry at me when I walk in.
Here are the stories we discuss this week, in the order we discuss them! Except one of them. One of them is out of order. Tell me which one and I’ll know you watched the video, and also that you read this paragraph of my post. It will make me feel good.
