WRUP: LFG for joy, PST no noobs, link achieves, no reply = noty
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 that games are supposed to be about joy, dammit. How did we go so wrong?
WRUP: Lore lawyers
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you answer this riddle: If a studio reboots the lore for a MOBA, will anyone notice?
WRUP: WoW's next-next expansion
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you try to guess what World of Warcraft's sixth expansion's theme will be. If you say pandas, time-travel, or orcs, you lose.
WRUP: Limited-time reunion show edition
That's right, ladies and gentlemen! Because you demanded it, or because we were pressed for time and needed something to show for our efforts, Eliot is back on WRUP for one week only! Featuring all of your favorite acts, such as flying whales that hate pizza, ducks, animal photos, and repeating a single word multiple times in a truly baffling display of what can sometimes be done in this format! This is only available for this week, so act now! But wait, there's more! If you click past the link right now, you can also find out what the Massively staff is up to over the weekend, which is ostensibly the point of this feature in the first place! You can also let us know what you'll be up to in the comments. And now, the part you've been waiting for, the return performance, which is... Ah, never mind, out of space. Sorry! Same time next year?
WRUP: Standardized commenter clones
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 how what we should really do is enhance our comment section with "model standardization," replacing our commenters with standardized human models in order to help us predict the tropes, memes, and cat gifs being used.
WRUP: I'll take 'Things Only Blizzard Can Get Away With' for $500, Alex
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 you will reveal what you'll be playing this weekend... next week. Because that is how you and Blizzard roll.
WRUP: Every MMO needs a theme restaurant
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 which MMO needs a theme cafe more than Final Fantasy XIV. I'm thinking an EVE Online greasy spoon would be a hoot.
WRUP: This is why we can't have nice things
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you giggle at all the lore purists who demand in-game lore-friendly holidays and events instead of Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day because here it is. This is our punishment for hating on Ewoks with cupid wings. This is why we can't have nice things.
WRUP: Just a beta
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 how gaming journalists who are paid to preview games should handwave worrying fundamental problems in a major pre-launch MMO because, you know, it's just a beta. After all, you definitely don't want to hear about games before they launch, unless it's an opinion that perfectly mirrors your preferred reality, which is why you don't patronize MMO websites. Right? Right.
WRUP: Best geeky rom-com ever
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you wipe away a tear because the Jedi Guardian who re-sparked Jef's flame for Star Wars actually stumbled into his post and they fell in love and got married because of SWTOR but not really. But wouldn't that make a great geeky rom-com?
WRUP: Star Wars ceiling specifications edition
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you get into a giant comment flamewar about how high ceilings and luxury condos break established canon lore for Tatooine. Man, Star Wars fans really are crazy.
WRUP: For spacious skies
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you sign our petition to make Ra'merica the official mascot of SMITE. He might just be the only character in the whole game unlikely to offend anyone. Except eagles, I guess.
WRUP: The one about jumping
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game in which we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you jump and jump and jump a lot in MMOs because you're not too old to play video games, no sir!
WRUP: The one where MMOs get an easy win
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game where we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you remind Ubisoft that almost every MMORPG since forever has somehow managed to do the impossible and include playable female characters and it did not in fact break the space-time continuum or wreck the budget.
WRUP: The internet isn't real edition
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game where we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you tell us how you're not a jerk even though you act like one on the internet. Which is perfectly OK, of course, since the internet isn't a real place and what goes on there is but a figment of our collective imagination.
WRUP: Who's not playing WildStar edition
Welcome back to Massively's What are You Playing, the game where we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you tell us that we're writing about WildStar too much. You might also want to remind us that we hate Elder Scrolls Online, love and hate Star Wars: The Old Republic, and carry a rather hopeless and pathetic torch for Star Wars: Galaxies. One of those statements might even be true!
WRUP: The one where we pick on MOBAs
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game where we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you brilliantly propose a MOBA in which players slip into the shoes of classical composers and kick the crap out of each other (seriously, we'd play that).
WRUP: Nostalgia is an insult in MMOland
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game where we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you tell us that we love games only because of nostalgia, but the games you love are real and true and objectively awesome!
WRUP: Never use the word 'first'
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game where we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you tell Carbine that WildStar wasn't, in fact, the first MMO ever with mount customizations. The word "first" is a dangerous word in a genre full of geeks with long memories!
WRUP: Statuesque
Welcome back to Massively's What Are You Playing, the game where we tell you what we're playing this weekend and you get sad all over again because World of Darkness. But hey, at least we got some phallic statues, right?
