Weekend Warrior – Turning Up The Heat

by George Ash on Sep 22, 2017 at 07:00 PM

The temperature’s really picked up in Minneapolis this weekend, and plenty of editors seem to be taking that as their cue to play Heat Signature. Others are finding it's their destiny to finish Destiny 2’s campaign before Monday rolls around.

Everybody’s readying themselves for October, which is just a smorgasbord of game releases, so let’s look at what people are doing for the last full weekend of September.

Ben Hanson (@yozetty) – Oh man, what do I play this weekend… I suppose I’ll try to finish the Destiny 2 campaign and maybe dive into the heart of that experience a bit. I like it, but just am not interested in playing too much in one sitting. Other than that, I should probably keep going with Mario + Rabbids, and there’s a sick part of me that wants to play Thimbleweed Park on Switch. Oh, and I want to understand what has Leo Vader so excited about Heat Signature on Steam. Alright, have a good weekend!

Brian Shea (@BrianPShea) – This weekend, I’m continuing to build up my Hunter in Destiny 2, though I am admittedly starting to drift away from the game already. I’m also playing Mario + Rabbids, Yakuza 0, and am just starting Metroid: Samus Returns. Of course, I’ll probably play a few rounds of Overwatch as well.

Javy Gwaltney (@HurdyIV) – I'm going to be jumping back and forth between leading my fellow editors to their dea... VICTORY in XCOM 2: War Of The Chosen and trying to kick my coffee habit. I'm sure this combination of things will go over well and I won't have a breakdown in the slightest hahahahahaha.

Kyle Hilliard (@KyleMHilliard) – In terms of video games, I’m still creeping my way through Destiny 2 and am in the last world of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. I’ve also been working on the review for Heat Signature, which I’ve been enjoying so far. In regards to non-video games, I’ll be seeing The Lego Ninjago Movie tonight, attending a children’s birthday party tomorrow, and cleaning the house. Some of those things are more exciting than others.

Leo Vader (@leovader) – I’ve been playing Heat Signature all week so my weekend will be spent playing even more Heat Signature! I’ve got a friend who just got into it and it’s been a blast swapping stories and tips we’ve picked up. Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to buy Heat Signature!

Imran Khan (@imranzomg) – This weekend, I’m balancing Danganronpa 3, Sonic Mania, Destiny 2, and Samus Returns. I suppose sometime in there I should eat, sleep, or talk to people. Maybe.

Cody Mello-Klein (@Proelectioneer) – This is my first Weekend Warrior here as an intern, so I’d love to impress everybody by mentioning some obscure indie game or systems-heavy RPG. But I like honesty even more than approval, so this weekend will mostly be more time spent in Destiny 2 as well more hours spent in The Witcher 3, a.k.a. second life. As a Mercy main, I’m also excited – and a little scared –  to experiment with the new Overwatch changes.

George Ash (@GeorgeEAsh) – This weekend, like every weekend, I’ll be hopping around Overwatch and Rocket League on PC. I’ll also be delving deeper into Shadow of Mordor after finally starting that game earlier this week.

Keenan McCall (@KEeNanMcCall525) – I haven’t been able to sit down and enjoy Metroid: Samus Returns yet, so I’ll be working toward a 100 percent completion in that. If I have any spare time after that, Yakuza Kiwami is still sitting on my to-do list.my to-do list.
