The lights are on
This is going to be a great weekend. Tim is making duck puns and playing Dark Souls. Many of us plan to eat grilled meats. Dan, apparently a man of few words, is consuming the only three things his body can process. What about you? Let us know what you're playing in the comments below!
Tim Turi: This weekend I need to really quack, err, I mean crack down on playing DuckTales for review. Besides that, I’m planning on giving Dark Souls another shot with our masochistic intern Brian Albert. Though, since he’s sitting down and guiding me through the punishing world of Dark Souls, I guess this makes him a sadist. I’m hoping he can show me what everyone sees in the game that I’m missing.
Kyle Hilliard: I’m still playing EarthBound and having a fantastic time. It’s funny how a nearly 20-year-old game is pulling me away from Pikmin 3, which released less than a week ago. Otherwise, it’s a pretty typical weekend. There may be some barbeque in there.
Mike Futter: Deep Silver has told me that I am most certainly allowed to let you know that I am playing Saints Row IV. I am most definitely playing Saints Row IV. MOST DEFINITELY. I'll also be working my way through more of the Injustice STAR Labs missions and playing around with Martian Manhunter. I want to give Pikmin 1 another try, since Jeff Cork has implied that my failure to enjoy it so far means that I took my childhood wonder out back and buried it next to the apple tree. I'll also be working through some more of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath on my Vita for a game club podcast with friends.
Last, but not least, I hope to receive my LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future DeLorean this weekend. If so, expect a blog post soon with pictures of the in-progress fumbling.
Dan Ryckert: Wrestling, beer, BBQ.
Jeff Marchiafava: I’m dogsitting for my parents this weekend, so the game I’m going to play the most is “try to keep dogs from pooping in the house.” I’ve played it before, and it’s not very fun. Additionally, I’ll probably play more indie PC games on my laptop and a super-secret review game that I can’t say anything more about.
Ben Hanson: This weekend I hope to continue playing Brothers: A Tale of Tatooine or whatever. I'm sick of 505 Games publishing all of these artsy fartsy titles! Really though, it is an odd and solid game. Support something different; give it a try. Outside of that, I'll probably continue to die repeatedly with Rymdkapsel on iOS. It's an odd combination of an RTS, tower defense, and Tetris game. If I have time, I feel obligated to finish State of Decay even though the storyline is my least favorite part of that game. Have a good weekend!
When is that sandbox mode for State of Decay even coming out?
That would give me enough of a reason to beat it again
I just got my 3ds five days ago, so I been busy with fire emblem, so I plan on that taking most of my time.
Dan's weekend sounds excellente.
I'll be playing Pikmin 3, Rise of the Triad(remake), Fallout 2, and Half-Life 2.
I really want to wrap up Ocarina this weekend, but I'll probably put some time into Chrono Trigger and Phantom Hourglass too. Also I am going to build a shed...don't ask...
I just kicked off the new job with an exhaustive week full of orientation and it's only the beginning (duhduhduhhhh) Going to relax a little bit and play Tales of Xillia and possible some Deus Ex: Human Revolution this weekend if I can tear myself away from the former. Also probably going to see either We're the Millers or Elysium at some point.
LoL and Need For Speed Carbon.
Can't stop playing Warframe. Maybe I'll be able to get the Rhino warframe this weekend. Ah, grinding.
I'm playing Skyward Sword this weekend. I'm still early on, only at the Earth Temple. Also, I want to get some time in on either BL2 DLC that I'm behind on or stick with the Nintendo theme and finally start Paper Mario: Sticker Star. I picked it up at release and was excited to play it, yet it's still in the wrapper.
Also it's August which means Little League World Series!
Just downloaded Guacamelee on Steam so I will play that, the Wonderful 101 demo (which is amazing), Pikmin 3, and probably some Dark Souls. Plus I got keep things running in Animal Crossing.
I'm gonna sink my teeth into Pikmin 3. The only conflict here? I haven't finished the first two games. I don't know how I feel about that, but I absolutely adore the third installment. Other than that there's a good possibility that I'm gonna pick up some Wii U points to buy the game I've been longing for: Earthbound. Finally! It's about time! Also, I bought Skate 2. So yeah.
