What's Happening

Weekend Warrior 8/17/12

Many people were out of the office this week to cover Gamescom. Those of us left behind will use the weekend to go to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, play some of the Summer’s new releases, and revisit some great old titles.  

Josh Straub: Minnesota Renaissance Festival. 'Nuff said.

Ben Reeves: Vegas baby! Oh, that was last weekend. I guess this weekend I'll take it easy. I'm busy playing Darksiders II and New Super Mario Bros. 2, and I finally caught up on Breaking Bad, so I'm looking forward to this weekend's episode. 

Kim Wallace: I’ve decided I want to play something scary this weekend. Some of you gave me recommendations on Twitter, saying that Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Slender are my best bets. We’ll see if they can make me shake in my little Converses. Points, if you guess what movie I’m referencing with that last line. (Hint: replace Converses with another type of footwear.)

Dan Ryckert: Heading to LA for Summerslam!

Ali Rapp: My sister, her husband, and her baby bump are visiting Minnesota this weekend, so I'll be hanging out with them on Saturday. And apparently on Sunday, my partner is taking me on a super secret surprise date. Wahoo! I hope it includes some Borderlands co-op. I'm playing as Lilith. Phasewalk is the best thing.

Jack Gardner: I’ll be eating delicious Indian food and going to the Renaissance Festival with friends. On the gaming side of things, I’ll be finishing Enslaved and delving into Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Also, I’m still trying to find time to go see The Dark Knight Rises… (hangs head in nerd shame).

Comments
  • Darksiders 2 and Dust: an elysian tail. Both very awesome games
  • Darksiders 2! Such an addicting game, glad I bought it!

  • I managed to finish Dust: An Elysian Tail last night, so now I can devote my entire weekend to Darksiders II. Let the winter game onslaught commence!
  • I will be playing some Age of Empires 3 online with friends and probably some Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker I should be playing Darksiders 2 but I've decided to get that one with the Wii-U at launch.
  • Gonna play some Persona 4 Arena, and I just picked up The Last Story today as well.
  • Dream Drop Distance.

  • Playing some Crysis 2, Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, maybe some Battlefield 3 multi with some PSN friends, and enjoying The Walking Dead game, free on PSN Plus. Also, catching the latest episode of Breaking Bad this Sunday, aaand continuing to hate Skyler's guts.
  • Still playing Persona 4 Arena. So far the only trophies I've unlocked are the dunce cap "thanks for trying" trophies. I'm so bad that my trophies are making fun of me.

    I'd also like to finish The World Ends With You this weekend.
  • Same as last weekend: RE:ORC and GTA:LCS

    Also my parents' wedding anniversay is on Sunday. I'll be spending the day with them.

  • I won't really have much time for games :( instead I will be doing some drinking and working on putting together a weeks worth of lesson plans for my 7th and 8th grade multimedia class and trying to find a new place for my fiance and I to live.

  • More Fallout 3 and Rayman Origins for me. Might be able to finish Rayman tomorrow, so I could be starting another game before the weekend is out.

  • I'm going to start Darksiders 2 (currently sitting next to me on the couch waiting for my son to go to bed) and trying to get further into disgaea 3.  Item world keeps getting in the way of the story

  • Well, I'm still trying to get more trophies on my PSN account, so after I leave Outback Steakhouse (I just ate dinner here), I'll try to find some games with trophy collections easy to earn. It'll be a pain going to earn my Platinum trophy all over again. Speaking of trophies, does Gran Turismo 5 (PS3) have a trophy collection? Oh yeah it does...... I think....
  • Looks like I'm going camping, so I'll probably just bring my PSP.

  • Persona 4 Arena, Darksiders 2, and finding out which buildings my classes are in.... And of course some Hatsune Miku.
  • Darksiders 2 and Mass Effect 3. Anyone want a fire-dealing glaive in Darksiders 2 (PS3)?

  • I'll be serving as the squad medic in Battlefield 3 this weekend. I love how well that game lends itself to playing with friends!

  • I will play some games.
  • Gonna wrap up Persona 3 FES and then maybe play some Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas after that. Maybe go outside.

  • Nothing much just going to move a bunch of crap to my new apartment to prepare for school. Maybe I'll continue Darksiders if I get lucky.
