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 freedom!
WRUP is here early so you can share with fellow comrades what games you're playing this weekend for eternal glory. Eat some grilled stuff this weekend! Meats, vegetables or whatever you're into. Do it for freedom! What's everyone playing? [Image: Shutterstock]
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: A quiet July to catch up
There's no better opportunity to catch up on that backlog than the month of July. Or, you could always add more to the games that need playing. The end of the year flood begins in late August. What's everyone playing?
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: You'll play it ... eventually
The Steam Summer Sale is currently on, which means millions of people are buying games they're convinced they'll play at some point. You know, in the future. When they have time. Tell us again what your backlog is looking like? Anyway, what's everyone playing?
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: E3 of future past
It's the end of E3 2014 and so much happened. So, so much. Like, all the much. If you missed any of it, here's some recaps for you to peruse for many, many hours: Horizon wrap-up PlayStation press conference. Microsoft press conference. Nintendo direct. EA/Ubisoft press conferences. What's everyone playing?
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: E3 2014, let's do it!
E3, the spectacular spectacular that brings the biggest news flood of the year to video games, will take place next week. Join us Monday for press conferences from Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft and EA. Tuesday morning kicks off with Nintendo and the show floor opening. Stop by here Monday morning and we'll take the journey together. What's everyone playing? [Image: Shutterstock]
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: Wash_Dogs
Also acceptable would have been Watch_Dogs, featuring dogs wearing wrist watches. But this is so much cuter! What's everyone playing? [Image: Shutterstock]
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: Jack's back
As Jack Bauer returns to our screens... okay yes, that happened a while ago but Alexander was probably WRUP-ping on about Hearthstone at the time. Anyway, as Jack Bauer returns to our screens, I find myself reflecting on the anomaly that was 24: The Game. I'm sure in the cold light of day it's not a great game, but playing it from start to finish across 24 hours was undeniably fun. Anyway, what's everyone playing?
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: The first step of Hearthstone recovery ...
Denial! Now help me find good websites to assist building decks to survive the arena. What's everyone playing?
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: Hearthstone intervention
Ummmm, so the crew at Joystiq has been messing around with Hearthstone. Actually, we've been screwing around with Hearthstone, which is messing around without dinner. Also, never get between a Priest and Holy Nova. NEVER! What's everyone playing? (Besides Hearthstone.)
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?
WRUP: House of Cards Season 3 spoiler
Super ultra spoiler, but Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is actually the plot for the next season of House of Cards. Also, yes, you have every right to call it House of CoDs going forward. What's everybody playing this weekend?
