What's everyone playing this weekend?
Alexander Sliwinski (@Sliwinski, Twitch): Far Cry 4 and all them eagles and honey badgers!
Anthony John Agnello (@AJohnAgnello): Dragon Age on the left, Oneechanbara ZX2 on the right, here I am stuck in the middle with Kingdom Hearts 2 (HD).
Danny Cowan (@db_cowan, Twitch): I got an Xbox One, so now it's time to catch up on a year's worth of games I missed. Looking forward to playing D4, Sunset Overdrive, Fantasia, and Forza Horizon 2.
Earnest Cavalli (Twitch): I'm spending my weekend working on a review of The Crew. By which I mean "inventing creative synonyms for mediocrity while hunting Charmanders in Pokemon Omega Ruby."
Jess Conditt (@JessConditt, Twitch): Apparently I have to play a BioWare game, so I'll just play through the entire Mass Effect series this weekend. Two days should be long enough, right? ... Right?
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK, Twitch): I'm heading into hour 20 of Sunset Overdrive. I'm almost able to stop playing it, I think.
Mike Suszek (@MikeSuszek, Twitch): I'm supposed to play this Middle-place: Shadow of Whatever game, so I'm going to do that for a little while. But really, Geometry Wars 3.
Richard Mitchell (@TheRichardM, Twitch): With Bayonetta 2 wrapped up, it's time to get back to crawling in the dark in Alien: Isolation. I still need to bang through Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare too, and I've got an itch to restart my Destiny drip as well.
Sinan Kubba (@SinanKubba, Twitch): Still inquisitive.
Sam Prell (@SamPrell, Twitch): Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. NO JOKE.
Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt, Twitch): I'm all up in Captain Toad's business. We're adventure pals! Also gonna spend some quality time with my longtime love, Ms. Lara Croft.
Thomas Schulenberg (@T_Schulenberg, Twitch): I'm gonna press square so many times in Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. I might occasionally mix in pressing circle and maybe even circle and triangle at the same time, but it's mostly gonna be square.
Xav de Matos (@Xav, Twitch): Both "Off the Grid" and online I'm playing Lords of Waterdeep. Definitely my favorite board game at the moment and the iOS version is great, too!
