WRUP: Mike Sacco visits The Fourth Hour
Every week, just at the start of the weekend, we catch up with the WoW Insider staff and ask them, "What are you playing this week?" -- otherwise known as: WRUP. Join us to see what we're up to in and out of game, and catch us in the comments to let us know what you're playing, too!
Hey everyone! Welcome to What aRe yoU Playing! And, at the same time, welcome to episode three of The Fourth Hour!
Today's The Fourth Hour takes us to Irvine, California (but still somehow still in The Fourth Hour studios, according to Michele), where we visit with Mike Sacco, smell his hair, and then kill him. You don't want to miss this one, because Michele and I may not be available to make another one for another 10 to 20 years (court case pending).
After you're done subscribing to The Fourth Hour YouTube channel (cough cough, do it, cough), you can follow us after the break for a breathtaking round of WRUP! Oh boy!
Allison Robert (@AllisonRobert) Probably working on a few more achievements and, outside of the game, getting materials for a few courses I'm taking just for fun.
Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) I'm thinking I'll be playing a bit more Bastion this weekend, or a little Mass Effect 2. The guild already finished heroic DS and Firelands this week, so there really isn't much going on! But I'm working on getting my bank alt's guild to level two, so I might work on that a bit more this weekend too.
Chase Hasbrouck (@alarondruid, @alaronmonk) Nothing's really caught my eye recently, so will probably work on some alt professions.
Daniel Whitcomb (@danielwhitcomb) I think I'll get my Mage to 85, buy her one of those cheap 700 JP Wands. Maybe take my Warrior through Raid Finder once or twice for the hell it, or heal a few dungeons on my druid. In non-WoW stuff, I'll be running a few missions on Mass Effect multiplayer for Operation Vigilance, and maybe try to get Isaac through the Cathedral on Binding of Isaac.
Fox Van Allen (@foxvanallen) Because the spirit of Massachusetts is the spirit of America, I'll be spending the weekend in Boston with a dummy-faced jerkwad named Tyler Caraway. If I play something, it'll probably be the brand new iPad version of Bastion.
Joe Perez (@lodurzj) I'm going to be spending some time leveling up my gathering toon, my DK so I can casually get myself some herbs and some ore. Also need to spend some time in Guild Wars 2 and if I have some time maybe some League of Legends.
Matt "Matticus" Low (@matticus) Catching up on some Guild Wars 2 action here. I'm being out leveled! My 27 elementalist needs to catch up so I can start hitting the dungeons at 30. Beyond that, some Counterstrike and League of Legends play in between. Although I've been meaning to give Heart of Fear a shot again in the raid finder beta but groups just don't appear to be firing off.
Matt Rossi (@MattWRossi) Getting my Mass Effect femshep (yes, I finally made one) through and into Mass Effect 2, so I can see what all these choices I made (killed the rachni, killed Ashley, killed Wrex) do in that game. Working on a sequel to my book. Go buy my book so I can justify this sequel I'm working on. Working on an unrelated novel. Missing sleep. Oh how I miss sleep. I never seem to get enough sleep anymore.
Matt Walsh (@Rhidach) Finishing up my long-overdue-to-be-done Mass Effect 3 "perfect" playthrough. Then starting a new game of Skyrim with Dawnguard. It's been about 8 months since I last played the game, it should feel newish.
Megan O'Neill (@slowpoker) Playing more GW2 on my 35 necromancer if I don't PvP in WoW. I have been playing GW2 solo so far, and probably will stay that way. I have a personal quest to find all the book NPCs; I found Killeen's grave last night with the help of a friend. Back on the WoW front, I also have some more level 90 beta research to do.
Olivia Grace (@oliviadgrace) I'm going to be playing write the essay. This essay is the final essay, the Deathwing of this expansion ... erm ... degree. I've prepotted, I'm buffed, and I've specced for survival. Also maybe a bit of WoW -- leveling my warlock and a bit of shamaning, maybe some priest if I feel like it. And a bit of GW2, maybe. I'm quite enjoying the "your story" aspect of GW2, even if the cutscenes drive me insane.
The weekend is the perfect time to kick back, relax and enjoy some game time. Are you an achievement junkie? Can't get enough raiding? Rolling a new alt? Considering taking the leap into roleplaying? Whatever your favorite way to play World of Warcraft, let us know in the comments what you're playing this weekend!
