WRUP: Mists of Pandaria spoiler alert
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!
Oh my God, you guys.
You're forgiven if you don't know the ins and outs of our relationship with Blizzard. But right now, Editor-in-Chief Alex Ziebart and The Queue superstar Mike Sacco are in Irvine, California. They're getting a special insider look at the Mists of Pandaria expansion from Blizzard itself.
But here's the problem: Though we have a ridiculous amount of unbelievably amazing information, we're not actually allowed to share it with you yet. We're under a press embargo. It's driving us crazy.
So in the interest of maintaining our relationship with Blizzard, we're going to spoil every other thing we can that isn't Mists of Pandaria. So -- spoiler alert! Today's WRUP combines the fun of telling everyone what you're playing with the fun of ruining stuff for other people.
Adam Holisky (@AdamHolisky) I too am cleaning my house. Spoiler alert: Ned Stark comes back to life as an Other.
Allison Robert (@AllisonRobert) As with lots of other folks here -- spring cleaning! I'll also be doing some heavy lifting on an upcoming Shifting post and maybe spending more time in hopeless pursuit of the Crawling Claw or -- worse yet -- an intellect shield for my shaman. They seem to be equally rare. Here's a major spoiler for the best book of all time: Blind monks are bad news.
Anne Stickney (@Shadesogrey) I'll be hanging out with family while they're in town, catching up on writing, and studiously avoiding catching whatever plague my nephews have come down with. Raiding this weekend, and likely some Skyrim thrown in as well for the heck of it. Spoiler: Elune is a naaru.
Chase Christian (@madsushi) I am going to be playing a lot of ME3 multiplayer. A lot. Spoiler: Shepard is a reaper!
Chase Hasbrouck (@alarondruid) I'll be lost in space, either in ME3 or checking out the SWTOR free trial weekend. Spoiler: Dumbledore shot J.R.
Dan Desmond (@antigen_) Having just beaten Mass Effect 3, I think my plans for the weekend will involve staring at a blank wall wondering what the hell I just witnessed. Spoiler: It was his sled.
Daniel Whitcomb (@DanielWhitcomb) Having beat Mass Effect 3 single player, I will probably be playing lots of multiplayer. Also, I may or may not be making insane conspiracy theory posts about that damn ending. Spoiler: You're the only real person in the entire world. The rest of us are virtual intelligences, created to fool and placate you, to keep you from the truth. It's time to wake up.
Elizabeth Wachowski (@leeatwaterlives) We should really go shopping and decorate the baby's room, but I think I'm going to claim I'm feeling nauseated and the only solution is for my husband to clean the house while I play Mass Effect 3. Spoiler: The combination for the space vacuum is 1 2 3 4.
Fox Van Allen (@foxvanallen) (gplus.to/foxvanallen) Heading to New York and then Philadelpia to see Everything is Terrible live. You should do that too. Spoiler alert: The only difference between the endings is different-colored explosions.
Joe Perez (@lodurjz) Fighting this flu thing I caught from work, playing some ME3 since my sister bought it for me and I'd feel guilty for not playing it, more SWTOR and WoW. Spoiler: Bruce Willis was a ghost the entire time!
Josh Myers (@PostColloquial) I'll be dog sitting for my brother, so no computer games. However, he's currently the trustee of my trusty Xbox, so I'll probably be renting something mindless from Blockbuster and slaying things all weekend. No predictions of what I'll rent yet though. As for spoilers, Rose lets Jack go. Also, Pacey Witter ends up with Joey and Dawson doesn't. Also, Luke Skywalker makes out with his sister before she's retconned into being his sister.
Kelly Aarons (@Cadistra) Hopefully some alt leveling, and Devil Survivor 2. Spoiler alert: Frodo takes the ring to Mordor.
Lisa Poisso (@LisaPoisso) Must be spring cleaning week or something. Me, too. Spoiler: ____________________.
Mathew McCurley (@gomatgo) I'm playing the Clean My House game. Spoiler alert: Finkle is Einhorn.
Matt "Matticus" Low (@matticus) Too depressed to play Mass Effect 3 right now. Probably head back to ranked solo queue in League of Legends to strengthen and train up my tolerance. Dance Central 2 an amazing amount of fun at parties. Party Rock on hard mode is really hard. Can't seem to get that flawless. Erry'day I'm strugglin'. Spoiler: The pie is a lie.
Matt Walsh (@Rhidach) I finished ME3, so I'm doing the only logical thing and starting over at ME1 with a new play-through. Might also try some Civ 5, which I haven't played in forever. Spoiler: Dorothy was actually indoctrinated and never actually went to Oz. She hallucinated the whole thing.
Megan O'Neill (@slowpoker) I plan to be reading this weekend. I particularly need to finish up The Forever War by Joe Haldeman before I give it back to my dad. Spoiler: It's a cookbook.
Michael Gray (@writegray) I'm spending the weekend with shellac and brewing a fresh round of beer. I need to de-stone the garden area for corn soon. My life is so rockstar. Spoiler: It gets better. But it never stops being sad.
Olivia Grace (@oliviadgrace) Levelling my new SoR frost mage -- I'm really enjoying it! Spoiler: Bruce Willis was dead the whole time.
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!
