Weekend Warrior – April Foolin' Around
With April Fools right around the corner, the Game Informer staff is set for a fun weekend of Zelda, Mass Effect, sports, and...Quantum Break? Like most weekends, some of us are spending time digging into the latest and greatest, others are playing...Quantum Break. Whatever you happen to be doing with this fine Spring weekend, sound off in the comments below.
Ben Hanson (@yozetty) – This weekend I dream of beating Ganon…I don’t want to end my adventures in Zelda yet, but I need to focus more on Mass Effect Andromeda for our new Game Club. Have a good weekend!
Jordan Leendertsen (@Bad_Durandal) – This weekend I aim to finish the original Kingdom Hearts on PS4, a game I remember very fondly and haven't revisited since childhood. I'll also be working on finishing the fourth season of Wilfred on Netflix, probably working my way through more of Horizon or digging into Gravity Rush 2 or Dark Souls 3. Or I'll just bury myself in a Kingdom Hearts coma and continue playing through the PS4 collection. I also might just reinstall Destiny, who knows. The world is my oyster really.
Kyle Hilliard (@KyleMHilliard) – I bought tickets to see The Boss Baby yesterday which will certainly be something. My daughter is very excited (for some reason), so that’s good. I also plan on cleaning the fish tank which will probably be equally entertaining. I am really making an effort to move on from Zelda, but it’s been hard. I am having withdrawals. I got about about six hours into Horizon Zero Dawn before starting Zelda and I really don’t want to restart, but I am struggling to find my footing. Plus, I miss being able to climb everything. I’m sure I will get back on track, soon.
Brian Shea (@BrianPShea) – I’m waist-deep in MLB The Show 17, but I’d also really like to try playing more Mass Effect Andromeda. I started Andromeda, and though Mass Effect is one of my favorite series of all time, the opening just didn’t grab me. I want to keep pushing through to see if I can get to that point.
Javy Gwaltney (@HurdyIV) – Hey gang, I’m going to be spending this weekend with too much coffee and too much spacefaring and romancing alien species. Also, probably going to be running around Hyrule as well and watching EVA.
Andrew Reiner (@Andrew_Reiner) – I hope to play Zelda as much as I can on Saturday. One of my good friends is hosting a WrestleMana/Chicago Cubs party on Sunday. That means we’ll have two television sets sitting next to each other – one showing the Cubs, the other wrestling. In other words, it should be a good weekend.
Zak Wojnar (@ZakWojnar) – I hate April Fool’s Day. I’m going to barricade myself in a room with a single entrance and play Quantum Break from sunup ‘til sundown. I finished Act 1 last week and I like it so far, but it has yet to hook me like Remedy’s earlier titles. Still, I’m a sucker for physics-based destruction, and every encounter has been a joy so far thanks to the sheer number of highly-breakable objects scattered throughout the environments. If I get some extra time, I want to play Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, which eluded me the first time around, but I can’t make any promises.
Manon Hume (@ManonHume) – My weekend is currently shrouded in mystery, even from myself. I may or may not be catching up with friends. I may or may not be going to a new yoga class. The only thing I do know is I will weather the April Fool’s storm with the help of my PS4.
