    Game Diary: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

    posted by Chris on April 4, 2008 4:32 PM in Games

    open_book.jpgYesterday I took a small break (I read a book!) but today I was back on the Rock Bandwagon with my new obsession: ranked score battle. I've been having a ton of fun going online and putting my skills to the test, as it were. The only issue? People constantly drop even in ranked matches. Once they get a whiff of defeat, they just crap out. I literally had to report around 20 people for unsportsmanly conduct. I feel like such a tattle-tale. Sigh.

    After finally completing the last Half Life 2 episode, I'm going through Portal and Half Life 2 to mop up those achievements, and this weekend will also be filled with a ton of WoW. What are you guys playing this weekend?

    I'll be playing some Psychonauts this weekend, going back to collect all the stuff I missed before attempting to finish it. That game is just so bizzare, fun, and original, and the selling point for me was that it's voiced by Richard Horvitz.

    And of course more Brawl...always more Brawl. Just so much to do in that game.

    I think I'm going to finish up Contact for the DS (friend codes anyone?) and maybe dive back into Oblivion for a while.

    I'm sure that my Rock Band owning friends would be willing to go toe-to-toe with you and your crew. We're some stubborn broads who never say die! Shall I make some inquiries and perhaps set a rumble date and time?

    Team Fortress 2, some Half-Life 2 mods I found, and then I'm gonna hit up some emulator action with Banjo-Tooie and Earthbound.

    My weekend is gonna start tomorrow and end after I finish the Metal Gear Solid saga chronologically. And I have to get through Turtle Rock, and challenge Ganon for the sake of Hyrule on my SNES. This is gonna be awesome. Why does work and a personal life have to stand in the way of pure gaming glory?

    Oh and the CoD4 maps came out, if my Live stops messing up, I can try them.

    What say you?!
