What's Happening

Weekend Warrior 11/16/12



December is drawing near, so we're all trying to cram in as many of the great games we missed before 2013 rolls around. Halo 4, XCOM, Persona 4 Golden, Dishonored, and advance copies of Far Cry 3 are all at the top of the list. AHL games and car stereos will be second tier priorities.

Ben Hanson: This weekend I'm going back to XCOM. After failing twice and a negative outlook on my third Ironman game, I needed to take a break. Now I'm back at it and determined to kick alien butt or something stupid like that. Also, I'll be checking out the 3DS version of Epic Mickey ahead of time. It has been one of my most anticipated games of the year, and I'm very curious to check it out.

Jason Pfitzer: Getting my old stereo in my car swapped out for a phat beat-blasting new one. Should help make the commute to work more tolerable. In other news, I'll be spending a large majority of the weekend playing around with the new League of Legends Season 3 changes on the Public Beta Environment (PBE) server. So many new things to learn!

Kimberley Wallace: Since the NHL can’t get its act together, I’ve decided to go to an AHL game this weekend. The Blackhawks’ farm team, the Ice Hogs, are facing off against the Wild’s Aeros. I need to get my hockey fix somewhere. Gaming wise, I’m alternating between Assassin’s Creed III and Sleeping Dogs. I’m enjoying the latter a bit more. Netflix sent me Moonrise Kingdom and The Amazing Spiderman, so that’s also in my plans.  But mostly, I’m looking forward to sleep! My Persona 4 Golden addiction got the best of me this month, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Jeff M: This weekend I’ll be trying to finish up my GOTY contenders, which means playing more Dishonored, Far Cry 3, and Halo 4. I’d also like to blast through The Walking Dead: Episode 4, in order to be ready for next week’s season finale. So many great games, so little time!

Mike Mahardy: I’ll be playing more Halo 4 this weekend, along with Resident Evil Revelations. Both are awesome, so I’m enjoying swapping between the two. I might start a Classic Iron Man playthrough in XCOM as well, if I can muster up the courage that is.

Kyle Hilliard: I think we can all be honest here. I have Assassin's Creed III, Borderlands 2, Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, Resident Evil 6, and a ton of other games sitting in my queue, but I am just going to play Halo 4. I can't help it.

  • I just got a Vita a couple of days ago and I'm trying to get through Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. That's pretty much what most of my gaming time is going towards until Persona 4 Golden comes out on Tuesday, which I hope I will have a copy.
    However, I am stuck in a room. I got the gold file using the dart board but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to make it give me the combination for the key...
  • Persona 4 Golden is just a few more days away, so while I wait, I will finally beat Mass Effect 3, see the last few endings of Zero Escape, and look for some free apps for my new smartphone.
  • Getting my Wii U! Can't wait to get my hands on New Super Mario Bros. U! :)

  • CoD Blops 2!

    ...with a side of Minecraft.

  • I'll be playing some Halo 4 and starting Skyrim back up in preparation for the Dragonborn DLC coming out next month. I'd like to get my hands on Far Cry 3, so that I have a better idea of which games are likely to be GOTY. Anyone care to share their opinions on game of the year?
  • I'm picking up my Pre-Oredered Wii U and going to play some scribblenauts unlimited.

  • Just beat Black Ops 2. Awesome.

  • Going to Video Games Live tomorrow night, I can't wait

  • I hate November... too many damn games to buy...
  • Dead Space 2...wish I had my Wii U to pick up instead of shipped.
  • I have a Wii U reserved at Target, but I'm still on the fence about buying it.  Other than that there's Borderlands 2, NBA 2K13, Demons Souls, Little Big Planet Vita, and the pile of Vita games that Sony is giving away to Plus members on Monday.

  • Listening to podcast while playing Halo and AC3.

  • Call of Duty, Halo, Hopefully some Tokitowa.....and probably some Miku :)

  • BLOPS 2 and some NBA 2k13 happy gaming everyone be safe have a great weekend

  • Gonna be playing some Doom 3 BFG, Assassin's Creed 3, Borderlands 2, and maybe some Halo 4. Oh yeah, can't forget Mass Effect 3. Let the games begin (and maybe end a couple)!

  • The best gift to give your robot is a can of fresh oil, and maybe some custard pie.

  • Long car ride, so I will probably catch up in Diamond... Maybe I'll beat Call Of Duty 4.

  • Got mass effect 3 for my birthday,  loving the campaign..cant get into multiplayer tho

  • Mod
    Trying to catch up on blogging, which also means playing some last gen games. Otherwise hoping to start AC3 at least. Also planning on Skyfall tomorrow.

    Jeff, wish I was playing Far Cry 3 already! Have fun. ; )
