WRUP: Happy holidays!
It's the last WRUP before Christmas Day, and Alexander's gone and left me in charge of it. Still, what's the worst that could happen, right? Happy holidays, y'all! What's everyone playing this weekend?
WRUP: HDMI converter for GOTY
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you tell us why we should be playing HDMI converter.
WRUP: Elegy for a backlog
The experimental Elegy for a Dead World and the emotional Never Alone didn't make chipping away at the block of ice that is our backlog any easier. What's everyone playing this weekend?
WRUP: WoW vs. Dragon Age edition
What are RPG fans to do with a new WoW expansion and a new Dragon Age game coming out at almost the same time? After hitting level 100 -- and some of the new-game shine wearing off of Warlords of Draenor -- a lot of us jumped ship for BioWare's latest... but we'll no doubt be back when DA:I similarly loses its new-ness. Still, plenty of us are playing WoW this weekend -- and to find out what we're up to (in WoW or out), read on. This week we've also been thinking about our biggest WoW annoyances (which may or may not have driven us to other games). Agree? Disagree? Let us know what you think in the comments -- and tell us what you're playing this weekend, too.
WRUP: We have a lot of feelings about professions edition
Another weekend is upon us, which means it's time once again for WRUP! The journey through Warlords continues on, and as we've explored more of the game, a common complaint amongst the team has been about the game's profession changes. While Blizzard has worked to streamline professions, not all of us (or, really, any of us) are quite happy with the end result. So just what's wrong with professions? A lot. If you want to see what we're doing in game this week -- plus a laundry-list of professions complaints -- read on. And, of course, leave us a comment to say just what you're playing this weekend... and let us know what you think about the state of professions.
WRUP: Troll-free eggnog
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you pour everyone another round of that eggnog. The good stuff, if you would.
WRUP: And the nominees are...
The Game Awards are in an hour... here are the nominees. We'll be streaming right here. Join us! What's everyone playing this weekend?
WRUP: It's all about Garrisons
Diving in to Warlords of Draenor has meant diving in to garrisons in a big way. Though most of us have long since hit level 100, we're still working on perfecting our garrison design and unlocking all of those level 3 buildings. (Even dog, above, seems to be trying something new with his unconventional sitting style.) But over this holiday weekend, some of us have more free time than usual to dive into our favorite hobby, while for others the holidays means spending more time outside the game world. But it's not all about World of Warcraft, as Dragon Age's recent release has definitely lured away some of the team. Want to know what we're playing this weekend -- and tell us what you're up to in game? Read on for more and feel free to leave us a comment!
WRUP: The WRUP awakens

WRUP: Game of the Year 2014? Go!
We've reviewed a lot of games in 2014 and it's time for the Joystiq crew to begin their annual battle for their favorites to compose the "Top 10" of the year. Those that don't make it are honored in our "Best of the Rest." So, let's hear it from you, what are the tops of the year? What's everyone playing this weekend?
WRUP: Lucky Korea
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you remind us how sad we are that Korea is getting a crapton of MMOs we'll probably never see.
WRUP: Reviews
OK, we're pretty much at the end of the road for reviews in 2014. There's more than enough to play at this point. Like, way more than enough. Now we get down to the game of the year conversations. What's everyone playing this weekend?
WRUP: Playing those level 100 blues
So Warlords of Draenor has been out for a week, which means many of us have started to hit level 100 and gear up for the end-game grind. Or have we? Tis the season for new game releases, and console titles like Dragon Age: Inquisition have a strong draw for WoW Insider's RPG-loving crew. But there's still plenty to do in Draenor, plus the 10th anniversary content is just getting fired up. So what's a gamer to do? Spoiler alert: we're still (mostly) playing WoW. But to see what exactly the team is getting into in WoW (and otherwise), as well as letting us know what you're playing this weekend, read on!
WRUP: Welcome to Warlords edition
It's the first weekend of Warlords of Draenor, and after the long wait for the expansion to arrive, Team WoW Insider -- and, probably, all of you -- are pretty excited about getting their playtime in and rushing to max level. So we're up to this weekend probably won't surprise you: we're playing Warlords. But for the specifics on what in-game antics we're up to and what we've enjoyed the most along the way, read on. And, of course, feel free to speak up in the comments below, telling us just what you're up to in-game this weekend -- as well as what your favorite part of the expansion is so far.

WRUP: Stock gamer
I entered "video game player" into a stock photo site and this is what I got. Look at those two. They seem so happy. Especially the excitable blond, who is... holding his controller, um, quite oddly. Are they playing on a PS2?! What's everyone playing?
WRUP: Blizz Fortress
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you tell us that at least Titan's assets didn't go to waste.
WRUP: BlizzCon news drop
Our buddies over at Massively and WoW Insider are at BlizzCon and they've been busy. More Hearthstone. New World of Warcraft pets. And a whole new game announcement with Overwatch. What's everyone playing this weekend?
WRUP: So it begins
BlizzCon inches closer with every passing day. It's close enough now that there's little else on the minds of the WoW Insider crew. Whether we're going to be there in person or watching via the virtual ticket, this weekend is one of preparation. One does not walk into BlizzCon unprepared. Follow along to find out what we're all up to this weekend, and tell us how you're spending your weekend in the comments.
WRUP: Vampir safety
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and we all practice vampir safety for Halloween. This... is a bizarre genre.
