Weekend is here! Games are here! We are here!


Joseph Christ:
Not sure. Right now I'm going to get further into Disgaea 3 and probably continue to work on my re-play of the original Deus Ex in prep for Human Revolution. Other than that, it's prep time for PAX, emails to PR to set up some appointments and clean this place up so Brad, Carlos and Nick don't have to stay in filth.


Brad Simons:
 Looks like I will be playing Deus Ex along side the new one, as I won't have time to finish the old one this weekend. I will instead try to finish El Shaddai this weekend. I can't help but feel how much wasted potential there is in this game.  Much of this team worked with Kamiya on Okami, and El Shaddai reminds me just how important a role a director like Kamiya plays in taking something nice to look at and turning it into a something fun to play.


Nick Henderson:
 I don't see myself finding time to play games this weekend. I have a show to go to tonight, school projects to finish, and of course, PAX stuff to prepare in the coming week.  I hope to get a couple hours of Deus Ex in before the show on Tuesday night though.


Nolan Hedstrom: 
I've been augmenting my gaming a bit by playing Deus Ex in preparation for Human Revolution on Tuesday. This game its good, but it can be frustrating, don't ever get set of fire...it does not end well. Though I do like the game play and the RPG elements add a lot to the game.

I'll probably pick up From Dust as well. I didn't get it on the 360 when it came out 2 weeks ago cause I assumed it would be better on the PC, Apparently those assumptions were wrong. So I might pick it up and play God for a while. Drown some people, cover them in dirt/lava, you know a typical weekend for God.


David Liao:
I'm on a quest to overtake Scifi while she's off at PAX this week. I'll be finishing off the Mass Effect 2 DLC as well as finishing off my Xbox playthrough of Resident Evil 5. I'm going to clean up a few Limbo cheevos while also progressing further in the story of Kinectimals. I've also got to get through El Shaddai and re-run the story of Catherine. Look out Sci-fi, you're in for a rude awakening when you get back!


Carlos Ottino:
 This weekend I will finally beat Alan Wake on nightmare mode. Golly. What a fantastic game. Of course, nightmare mode switches the mechanics of the game from "Fight with light" to "Run like the wuss you are". As the release dates for a couple good online shooters near, I feel the Call to fire up the previous games in said series to Gear up my skills and thus earn my title as king of the Battlefield.

Clever, huh?

    Playing some DA2 in order to listen to that spoiler cast that's still sitting on my hard drive and also I will be playing more Dungeons or Dredmore because that game is really addictive and my first roguelike as well.

    Just finished Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together so now that clears up room to finish Deus Ex (or attempt to) before I leave for PAX. I might try to fit in time for Morrowind and Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, too.

    I plan on getting back into fallout 3, either to keep on going with my old (first) character or to start a new one and really plan out a character. Likely I'll be playing some borderlands as well, in anticipation of the sequel.

    Playing Tourchlight. Gave up on a warrior because they game got stupidly hard for melee at some point. Switched to an archer - too easy. Also playing TF2 of course. Already crafted Deus Ex weapons.

    I'll be still playing Some Fallout 3... Great story but overall game is kinda boring. I don't have a good PC at all just to play the original Deus Ex... So yeah, I'm kinda screwed.
    I'm on my 30+ playthrough of Valkyria Chronicles 2... Still on JUNE... Fantastic game, great cast of characters - I do see the cliche aspects but its not that bad.

    I finished Monster Girl Quest finally, FANTASTIC GAME, But I was disappointed on how it just ended... Can't wait for the 2 arcs to come out.
    Other than that I started to play some Katawa Shoujo again... Trying to finish it, with my favorite girl RIN.

    I'm kind of open to whatever this time around, there's so much I want to play. I want to continue on 3D Dot Game Heroes, but I might fiddle around on Minecraft. I also just bought RoboBlitz on the Steam deal thing so I might play that some more. There's also Fallout 3 on top of all of this. I've got some backlog going (not as severe as some, but it's there).

    I'm trying to finish up games in my ridiculous huge backlog, so I'm starting with Yakuza 4. I picked up NMH: Heroes Paradise, so I'm sprinkling that in, and I might try to put in Disgaea 3 for a bit before 4 comes out. All of those, and some random assorted games I still need to beat, will be played so that I can free up room for when Devil Survivor Overclocked and Disgaea 4 come in.

    I keep getting sidetracked by old games to play even older games like Deus Ex, so like Brad I don't think I'm going to be able to finish the original DE before Human Revolution comes out. Instead I'm replaying Mass Effect and just fooling around in Fallout: New Vegas while I wait for cheaper Microsoft Points in order to pick up the DLC.

    I just finished up a replay of Mass effect 2 where thank god - everyone survived :)

    There are no new games for me at the moment - i'm waiting on Deus Ex: Human Revolution next Friday.

    Beyond that i've been fighting online in Naruto Ultimate Ninja storm 2. I love the game and its great when you find a decent player - there are just so many people on there content to spam the jutsu's nonstop and it just offers a rather cheap play style that leaves you rather disappointed.

    I'm currently playing Xenoblade Chronicles, 7 hours in and this game is awesome, it easily is the best JRPG in ages. I hope Brad's imported copy comes soon because it definitely is one of the best games of 2011. Next week, I shall be playing Deus Ex Human Revolution alongside Xenoblade Chronicles.

    This week I've been having a craving for some FPS multiplayer action. I called up X box live and tried to settle my debts, but the process of having a computer take 20 bucks seems to be as equally difficult as teaching it to love. So while I wait for my Gold subscription to kick in I've been playing though 'Splosion man. I'm a few levels away from beating this game, and I'm proud to say I have yet to take the way of the coward.

    It's also my first JRPG.

    Just Finished playing Mirror's Edge for the um... 4th time?
    Persona 3 FES - I'm halfway through.
    SMT: Nocturne - Over 40 hours in. (Preparing for SMT: Innocent Sin coming out for the PSP next month. First time being localized in the states.)
    Assassins Creed Brotherhood (Never finished it. Working on that now.)
    Phantasy Star Universe - I'm on chapter 2.
    Fatal Frame III - Been meaning to restart since I saved at the wrong time and died towards the end. That was 3 years ago?

    I think that's about it.
