WRUP: What would Suze Orman do?
If there were ever a time we'd call upon the advice powers of financial guru Suze Orman... now would be that time! After a full calendar year of triple-A releases, we're on the precipice of the sinister Q4 launch schedule -- packing so many good games in such a short window that we're hyperventilating just thinking about its potential effects on our wallets. Hard purchasing choices will be made over the next couple of months for the sake of our family stability, housing and ability to eat.
What's everyone playing?
Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Civilization 5 and Reach. Keeping my cerebral and inner 12-year-old happy.
Andrew Yoon (@scxzor): [Spawning on some bros co-op style]
Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): Dodging plasma on Reach (read: actually playing the campaign), and planning on getting drenched by Neo-Malthusians in Hydrophobia's watery depths.
Chris Buffa (@ChrisBuffa): Definitely some Halo: Reach, and perhaps some Nuclear Wasteland for good measure. It's only a buck.
Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): [Tokyo-yoin]
David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'm playing the "watch my little sister get married" game in Chicago this weekend.
Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): I'm playing "watch Dave Hinkle watch his little sister get married without him knowing I'm watching him" game in Chicago. Nah, nah, just playing. Halo: Reach, I guess?
James Ransom-Wiley: Not playing, but praying the Phils stay on fire!
JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I'm having a Wii Party. It's like a Tupperware party, except I'm going to be sitting on my couch playing a video game instead of selling people food storage items. But other than that, totally the same deal.
Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): Civ 5 and Minecraft. That's right, baby! I'm a PC gamer now. You probably don't get it. See, it's a refined taste.
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): Let's make this weekend all about masked individuals: Noble Six, Spider-Man and Samus.
Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): I'll be playing through Alan Wake, with the occasional palate cleanser of some Halo: Reach multiplayer.
Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin) Abra-abra-cadabra, I'm gonna Reach out and frag ya.
Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM) Dead Rising 2, maybe some Reach. Metroid: Other M if I have time.
