Weekend Warrior 08/06/11
The weekend is among us! Game Informer staffers share their weekend gaming plans. You should do the same in the comments section!
Reiner: I'm seeing QuakeCon through to the end. So far, this show has been amazing; well worth the trip If you've been considering it. Bethesda has every game on hand, including the first hands on opportunity with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Today I'm going to play Rage multiplayer, and watch a few tournaments in the BYOC room. Tomorrow I'll be updating the site with game news, and will check in our future-weary Game Informer marathoners.
Bryan Vore: This weekend I am going to be playing the hell out of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for a Guinness World Record. I’ve never played it before so I’m very excited to finally delve in.
Jeff Cork: Careful readers may notice a trend emerging. This weekend, I’ll be playing my fair share of Grand Theft Auto IV for a Guinness World Record. I’m looking forward to hearing Niko Bellic’s silly accent for the next 40 hours and fielding call after call from my lonely friends and relatives. I CAN’T WAIT TO GO BOWLING!!!
Phil:I’m going to play so much Final Fantasy this weekend. As those who read my essay earlier this week already know, my focus is going to be Final Fantasy XII, but I’ll also be playing Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, and I’ve got a pile of other PS1 and PS2-era FF games to jump into if I get bored and want to try something else. I hope you’ll join me in this stupid endeavour!
Dan: Mario. That’s it. All weekend . I can’t wait, and it should be a lot better (and easier) than the grueling Smash Bros. marathon. Of course, that’s me saying that before we start. Wait til about 20 hours in and we’ll see how I’m feeling.
Tim Turi: This weekend I’ll be playing a minimum of 24 hours straight of Resident Evil games. I’ll probably start with my first attempt at a knife-only run in the original Resident Evil. After that I’ll start working through the series chronologically, starting with RE: 0 on GameCube. It’s going to be a long weekend filled with soda, beef jerky, microwave food, and delirium. Wish me luck!
Ben Hanson: I will be spending most of the weekend running the livestream for the Guinness marathon, when I'm not watching one of the six amazing games on display I will be edited footage that I shot at the last marathon for Smash Bros.
Ben Reeves:I know id's annual QuakeCon is going on this weekend, so I'm interested to follow that, but I'll be busy playing Metal Gear for GI's second Guinness attempt. Read more here. Darn Tootn'
That's it for us. What are you playing this weekend?
