Xur has returned for another weekend in Destiny 2 with a couple of Year Two Exotics you might need to fill out your collection. And with the first Iron Banner of the Season of Opulence kicking off next week, one is especially handy–provided you’re not using a sniper rifle to chase the new Crucible Pinnacle weapon like literally everyone else. Here’s where to find Xur and a rundown of what he’s selling.

Like last week, Xur is once again on Nessus. You’ll find him on Calus’s golden barge, standing near all those glittering treasure chests filled with Imperials. His big offer is the Forsaken linear fusion rifle The Queenbreaker, which fires powerful bolts of arc energy great for popping the heads of your Guardian adversaries in the Crucible or when invading in Gambit and Gambit Prime.

On the armor side, Warlocks have access to a second Year Two Exotic this week: Geomag Stabilizers, a pair of boots that extend the duration of your Chaos Reach Super when you’re dealing damage with it. Sprinting can also top off your Super energy if it’s near full to get you blasting away with Chaos Reach more quickly. For Hunters, there’s Knucklehead Radar, a helmet that maintains your radar even when aiming down sights. It’s very handy for Crucible as well, providing a more detailed radar readout when you crouch. Finally, Titans can snag the ACD/0 Feedback Fence gauntlets, which store energy when you make melee kills and release it in an explosion if you take damage from a melee attack.

Xur Exotics For June 14-18

• The Queenbreaker (Exotic linear fusion rifle) — 29 Legendary Shards
• ACD/0 Feedback Fence (Exotic Titan gauntlets) — 23 Legendary Shards
• Knucklehead Radar (Exotic Hunter helmet) — 23 Legendary Shards
• Geomag Stabilizers (Exotic Warlock leg armor) — 23 Legendary Shards

If Xur’s inventory doesn’t interest, you can also buy a Fated Engram, if you can afford it. Dropping 97 Legendary Shards on the item will grant you one Year One Exotic you don’t already have for that character. Xur also offers the Five of Swords challenge card for free, which allows you to add difficulty modifiers that increase your score in Nightfall runs.

And if you haven’t finished all of Xur’s Invitations of the Nine from the Season of the Drifter, you can snag one of those as well. The bounty was new in Season of the Drifter, dispensing Powerful gear rewards, a bit of story about the Nine and the Drifter, and a lore drop.

It’s the end of an era for longtime ThinkGeek fans, as the digital store announced this week that ThinkGeek.com officially is shutting down. Starting July 2, ThinkGeek’s curated collection of apparel, collectibles, and other geeky merchandise will be available only in a ThinkGeek section at GameStop, its parent company. The 40 physical ThinkGeek stores across the US will remain open, but ThinkGeek.com will no longer be a place to shop.

This is sad news, as ThinkGeek has had one of the largest collections of high-quality exclusive merch out there, and it’s unclear just how much of that product offering will be moved over to GameStop’s site. However, there is one thing to soften the blow: ThinkGeek is currently offering 50% off everything sitewide with the promo code MOVINGDAY. All sales are final, and that code excludes free shipping. Due to the high volume of sales, ThinkGeek suggests writing down your confirmation number or taking a screenshot, as you may not receive an order confirmation email.

If you’ve been saving up Geek Points, ThinkGeek’s program that lets you earn points as you shop and later redeem them for free stuff, now’s the time to use them. On July 3, all remaining Geek Points will be converted to an email coupon that you’ll be able to redeem at GameStop. ThinkGeek will also honor any returns on orders placed before June 13. As stated earlier, anything purchased after June 13 is a final sale. Fortunately, ThinkGeek gift cards will continue to work at ThinkGeek stores and GameStop.

This is a great time to snag any items you’ve been eyeing at ThinkGeek, as there’s no knowing for sure whether it’ll be available again. The storewide sale spans every category and interest, so you’re sure to find something you want (or that someone you know would appreciate–early Christmas shopping, perhaps?). Check out some of the items that caught our eye below, and browse everything on sale at ThinkGeek. Be warned–we expect their stock to start selling out fast, so grab what you want ASAP.

For video game fans, E3 is the most wonderful time of the year. We get to see new games, perhaps some new hardware, and the finest of memes. E3 also sees the internet’s more creative types flex their artistic muscles and fill our timelines with incredible art. What better way to celebrate the return of some favorite characters, or welcome new ones, than with fan art? Well, we were blown away by what we saw this year, so we thought we’d share some. If you like what you see, please be sure to show each artist your support, and remember to always credit art when you share it online!

The Legend of Zelda’s New Hair

One of the biggest surprises of E3 came right at the end of Nintendo’s Direct, with a Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel announced. Fans were of course ecstatic, including pretty much everyone at GameSpot, but some fans were drawn to something else.

The trailer we saw features Link and Zelda, seemingly beneath Hyrule, about to discover (or awaken?) a new evil. Fans were quick to notice Zelda’s new look and were just as speedy to pick up their Wacom pens to pay tribute. With any luck this might mean we see Zelda as a playable character in Breath of the Wild 2.

Final Fantasy VII Restyle

Another character to get a revised look was Final Fantasy VII Remake‘s Tifa Lockhart. Fans had been eagerly awaiting a glimpse at this favorite character ever since the Remake was announced, and judging by the amount of art we saw popping up on Twitter, people were very pleased indeed.

Tifa will be a playable character in Final Fantasy VII Remake, and our first look at her in action has us pretty excited for March 3, 2020 when the game releases on PS4.

Honey I Blew Up the Corgi

Shortly before E3 kicked off, we were treated to a Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield Direct, which of course led to a flurry of fan art. Nintendo’s E3 Direct was no different, as we were introduced to Nessa, the Water-type gym leader.

Fans attending E3 were lucky enough to challenge Nessa in an all-new Dynamax battle, where Pokemon grow to the size of houses, which makes for quite the spectacle. Something in the demo that went a little under the radar was two new Pokemon–that is until fans took to Photoshop and Procreate to celebrate them. First up we have Yamper, an Electric Corgi Pokemon.

Pokemon Sword and Shield is set in the Galar region, which is inspired by the United Kingdom. Fitting, really, seeing as the Queen herself is famous for her love of Corgis. We’re not quite sure how this next one fits in, but we love it all the same. Impidimp looks like it is going to cause some mischief, and we are here for it.

Deserted Island Living

Nintendo didn’t stop inspiring artists there, as its E3 Direct finally delivered on something fans had been looking forward to since last E3. Animal Crossing: New Horizons was finally revealed, albeit delayed to 2020. The next game in the much-loved Animal Crossing series will see us starting over on a deserted island, thanks to entrepreneur and noted loan shark Tom Nook. At least he has dressed for the occasion.

While some are looking forward to the truly fantastical idea of interest-free loans and affordable housing, others are already picturing what life will be like on the island.

You’re Breathtaking

It wasn’t just video game characters to be immortalised with art though; no, it was the hosts, too! Keanu Reeves stole the show at Microsoft’s E3 Briefing, as it was revealed he would be starring in Cyberpunk 2077 as Johnny Silverhand. It gets better though, as Keanu walked out on stage to stunned fans, which led to this wholesome interaction.

Keanu wasn’t the only host to get fan art love, as Tango Gameworks creative director Ikumi Nakamura gave us one of the most honest and enthusiastic presentations yet. Here we see her joining Keanu and Jon Bernthal’s dog Bam Bam, who won our hearts before we saw more of Ghost Recon Breakpoint. What a good dog!

Nakamura’s fan art doesn’t stop there, and it’s safe to say she has single-handedly sold us on GhostWire: Tokyo.

This art didn’t go unnoticed, as Nakamura recently joined Twitter and declared them her treasures.

Year of Gooigi

And last but not least, it may not be the Year of Luigi (good times), but 2019 could be the Year of Gooigi, with the release of Luigi’s Mansion 3 later this year and a new slimy version of our favorite green Mario brother.

Do you have some favorite fan art from E3 2019? Be sure to share it in the comments below, as there’s only so much we could fit in this article. If you enjoyed this, you can read more about the unexpected stars of E3, and be sure to check out our early impressions and gameplay from all the games featured at E3.
