Blessing and Tim talk about a secret Halo game in the works, Shadow of Mordor's nemesis system being patented, and more. 00:00:00 - Start 00:03:15 - Housekeeping Get your Hitman 3 Contracts featured on the game’s homepage! That’s right, Hitman 3 is featuring Kinda Funny Contracts. Me and Snowbike Mike are making Featured Contracts and we’re picking 3 from the community to submit alongside ours to IO Interactive. If you want to participate, it’s easy: Create a Contract on the Dartmoor Mansion level and once you’re done, submit the Contract-ID to Kindafunny.com/Hitman. We’re only picking the best ones so flex those Hitman muscles. The deadline is the 18th. In case you missed it, there’s a new episode of The Blessing Show up right now: Star Wars Games: Past, Present, & Future. It’s a 7 minute video detailing everything you need to know about Star Wars and why you should be excited about Lucasfilm Games. It even has a cool little intro. Somehow, BEYOND all of that, it’s still a HUGE week at Kinda Funny Tomorrow is the Bloodborne Episode of PS I Love You XOXO with me, Greg, Andy, Tam, and Altano.
