Weekend Warrior 7/31/2015
This weekend the Game Informer staff returns to The Witcher 3 while also diving into Rocket League. A couple employees also plan to play older games, with associate editor Brian Shea tackling Borderlands 2 and intern Alissa McAloon coming to Knights of the Old Republic II.
What do you plan to play this weekend? Let us know in the comments.
Ben Reeves (@BenjaminReeves): I still have a lot of Witching to do, but I'm also required by law to hang out with my wife's family this weekend at a family reunion, so I'll probably try to convince her relatives that I'm mentally unstable so they'll leave me alone and I can sneak off and play The Witcher.
Hershall Cook (@HershallCook): Yesterday, three weeks after fellow intern Christian Belland first bested me at Rocket League, I played with him in a series of 2v2 matches. Now I wonder – when the time for vengeance comes, will I have it in my heart to defeat him?
Brian Shea (@BrianPShea): I'm still playing a ton of MLB 15: The Show and Borderlands 2. Batman: Arkham Knight is in the rearview mirror for me, so with any other time I have, I'm chugging along with Witcher 3, Majora's Mask 3D, and Destiny.
Ben Hanson (@Yozetty): Tonight I'm going to check out Summer Games Done Quick again to watch the Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and Pokemon Blue speedruns. Other than that, I should really get back to Batman or play more Rocket League but I think I'll be editing our coverage trailer for next week's cover reveal! Have a good weekend!
Alissa McAloon (@Gliitchy): Last weekend I finally got my PC up and running again. Now that I've got it 'fixed' (turns out having the HDMI plugged into the right output makes a huge difference) this weekend will probably be filled with random games from my steam library. I'll probably dive back into Knights of the Old Republic II since it's supported by the Steam Workshop now. Otherwise, I'm three chapters behind on like every Telltale game right now.
Jeff Cork (@GIJeff): I'm leaving for Gamescom tomorrow morning, but I'll probably play some Witcher 3 tonight. You know, for research or something. Then some Jetlag Joyride.
Kyle Hilliard (@KyleMHilliard): I'm having a yard sale this weekend, so feel free to come by and purchase a bunch of my stuff that I don't want anymore. I also hope to check out the Wet Hot American Summer TV show on Netflix, even though I haven't seen the original film so I don't really have any affection for it. I always preferred Mr. Show and Upright Citizen's Brigade over The State. Finally, maybe some Witcher? My progress on that game has been excruciatingly slow.
Matthew Kato (@MattKato): Diving back into The Witcher 3 after too long of an absence, and I've been playing more PES 2015 as well. I also want to try out the NHL 16 EASHL beta. I need to finish Life is Strange ep. 3 so I can get to the crazy stuff that Kim alluded to in her review of episode 4.
Jeff Marchiafava (@GIJeffM): I've been playing a lot of Arkham Knight recently, and while I've been intrigued by the story, the continuous (not to mention monotonous) tank battles are taking their toll. This weekend I might temporarily hang up Batman's pointy-eared cowl and jump back into The Witcher 3. Then again, considering the continued rumblings in the office about Rocket League, maybe it's time to start honing my car-soccer skills.
