WRUP: $8 billlion, but who's counting?

Activision Blizzard bought itself back from Vivendi this week in a transaction worth over $8 billion. Just for context, here's what $8 billion can get you:

• 9,638,554,217 servings of Nissin the Original Cup Noodles.

• 133,333,333 video games at $60.

• Any island found on PrivateIslandsOnline.com.

• The construction of an opulent Marina Bay Sands, the most expensive building in the world.

• This shiny rock I carry that I swear has magical properties if you wire me just a tenth of that sum.

What's everyone playing this weekend?

• Alexander Sliwinski (@Sliwinski): The Shadowrun Returns buzz is getting to me. I certainly still have plenty of Rogue Legacy and The The Last of Us.

• Danny Cowan (@Sardoose): Dragon's Crown. A whole lotta Dragon's Crown.

• David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'll be wrapping up my Nvidia Shield review this weekend and, if I find any time for myself, I'll play one of the billion untested Steam games sitting neglected in my library.

• Jess Conditt (@JessConditt): [whatever she wants]

• Jordan Mallory (@Jordan_Mallory): 37 hours into Skyrim and I finally sorta find out what an Elder Scroll probably is.

• Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): I'd like to spend some time with Pikmin 3, which marks my first encounter with the tiny denizens of Miyamoto's garden.

• Mike Suszek (@MikeSuszek): The more I play Earthbound again, the more upset I am that Nintendo has practically abandoned the series.

• Richard Mitchell (@TheRichardM): [...]

• Sinan Kubba (@Shoinan): Hot Shots Golf PS3. Even though I've played the Vita version to death - I'm so weak.

• Steven Wong: I'm going to try out Shadowrun Returns and see what items I get when I combine magic with science.

• Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt): Fallen London, The Raven, Animal Crossing. They overhauled Fallen London, added a ton of new content and refined the mechanics. It's effing brillllllyunt. Also, I have the only pony in the entire game.

• Thomas Schulenberg (@Lavapotamus): I bought Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon as soon as I was able to find a physical copy of it. It's still shrink wrapped. I'll be fixing that over the weekend!

• Xav de Matos (@Xav): I've been waiting for Shadowrun Returns since its Kickstarter was announced a year ago. Finally, it has arrived!
