Happy ChristmaChauniQwansiWRUPidays

Well, the holiday season is in full swing with merriment and families coming close together to celebrate what ever it is they're celebrating together. I've already been spending time with friends around a bonfire during the solstice party drinking beer and glogg until the late evening. -Eating prime rib and turkey and yule cake and cookies. It's been a good time.

Procrastiating when it comes to shopping is something I and many people do, so it was only today that I got the last of my online orders delivered and thankfully everything is as it should be. With everything going so smoothly it's only a short time until we can bid good riddance to 2017 and move on to a new year.

Guys, we hope you all have a good, fun and safe holiday, whatever your celebration. Whether it be religious or family and friend oriented. Or just a quiet weekend with a 'do not disturb' sign on the door knob while you read a good book and play some games. Speaking of which...

What's everyone playing?

Andrew: Steep

Yoda: Still enjoying swapping between being a Mud Runner and a Space Trader. So hopefully more Elite and Mud to keep that train rollin

Greywolfe: rise of the dragon: i'm a little past half way. having the same stupid problem with the same stupid puzzle as last time around [there's a section where you need to wire tap a phone so you can pick up messages. the wire puzzle that you have to solve is very finicky.]

Scrooloose: Well if I have time for gaming this weekend I'll be surprised. But if I do it'll certainly be more MudRunner and Sniper Elite 4. Winter sales are going on and I'm also intrigued by Elite Dangerous for $7.50, so I might just have to snap it up too. Steep is also on sale but I've seen it less expensive than it's listing this time around so I might wait. Otherwise though I'm not seeing anything I can't live without. I'm strongly considering the DLC for The Surge as well. At least it's Christmas time and I have a wishlist...

Dr. S: We don't know. Hopefully he's having a good time though

Truelegendkiller: Don't know about him either. Hopefully enjoying himself.

Distilled WRUPer

Girlfriend is waiting and I almost forgot to do this, so no time to waste!

Battlefront/EA controversy, Destiny controversy, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is out, something something Game Awards, To the Moon 2 got announced, Trump is still president of the USA and Austria will soon join his axis of fascists. Read more

WRUPing Break

One has to love Saturdays that start with work because something broke. Even better when you don’t know how to fix it. Anyway, while I wait for someone from the IT department to maybe show up (but more likely not, because they don’t work on weekends), let’s do the WRUP! Read more

basic WRUP

I’m really fucking exhausted from this week. Things are happening, but in the gaming sphere it’s mostly Mario, Destiny, Assassin’s Creed and shooting Nazis. We all know how that goes, so let’s get to the point:

What is everyone playing over the weekend? Read more

womanly WRUP-Boxes in the black Normandy

Call of Duty WW2 is out now, so that should be it for big releases this year, right? Did I miss something? Oh, the new Battlefront… yeah, who cares. Star Wars, innit? Back to Call of Duty. Remember when certain people were certainly outraged about the fact that you could play as a female or black Nazi? I mean, that’s positively scandalous… Blacks in the German army? Females holding guns? THIS HAS NO PLACE IN A REALISTIC DEPICTION OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR! Read more

Such A Late WRUP

Well, apparently we all have lives or some such and the WRUP got delayed. I've got friends moving away so I was hanging with them. Dr. S. has one of these "girlfriends" I keep hearing about so he was busy. I don't know what Cody was doing but he's got Moviepass now so I bet it had to do with the cinema. Greywolfe might or might not be "gone fishing"...

So I'm here now around 9:30pm rambling about why this WRUP is late. I'm enjoying Wolfenstein 2 quite a bit so far. Except that I can't record it or take screenshots. So if I do write about it I probably won't have much in the way visual aides. The game runs amazing I will say that. Frame rates in the hundreds all the time even on the highest of high settings, of which there are many. Anyway here's what we're playing this weekend. What are you playing?

Greywolfe: i dunno. i _was_ playing a whole bunch of stuff - dream daddy, space quest 5, kyrandia 2 and so on, but right now, my head isn't really in a gaming space, i guess? so i've been terrible and haven't played those at all in a while :P - on the plus side, i can get very distracted by nanowrimo. ;) [write a 50k novel during the month of november.] - if anyone else is doing that, too, good luck :)

Yoda: Dice Masters. Photoshop. Dice Masters. Photoshop. Adobe Illustrator. Linux MultiMedia Studio. And Hopefully a scary time at some point... God damn there's too many things to do lol

Dr. S: stuff on mobile or the switch, because i'm in the middle of nowhere and destiny is out and i want to play destiny not being stuck in the middle of nowhere and life is unfair and WHY NO DESTINY ON THE SWITCH!!!! Oh, right, I won't have internet either, so even Destiny on Switch wouldn't work for me...

Andrew: Probably Costume Quest. I seem to play it right around Halloween every year. Also Resident Evil VII.

Scrooloose: Divinity OS2 is getting close to the end and it's been so good you guys. I'll certainly have to write about it. Wolfenstein: The New Colossus has been really great so far as well. There's intriguing plot that picks up where the last left off and it runs glass smooth. However just like Doom, I can't seem to record any footage. OBS and ReLive don't pick it up. I got ReLive to work the very first time I tried while testing settings but since then all I get is the desktop with game audio. OBS just locks up like it did with Doom. But hey, no hard system locks at least.

 

I’m running out of WRUP

Season of games continues, so let’s not keep you guys from sharing. Ok ok, fine… I just want to get back to playing more Golf Story.

 

So, what is everyone playing over the weekend?

 

Thomas: Since I won’t be home, more Switch. Golf Story, Stardew, Mario & Rabbids…

Scroo: Still working on Divinity OS2. Still playing Vermintide and am excited for the sequel after seeing footage for that. And I did finally pick up the Ashes of Malmouth expac for Grim Dawn so I hope to check that out some.

Cody: Same for me. Rocksmiths, Dotas, Paragons, Fornites, DiceMaters. All good shit

Grey: my headset broke.  but i finished off stories, properly and am working my way through dream daddy.  also, what was that last week about space quest five and kyrandia 2?  I CAN'T HEAR THOSE GAMES.  they must be screaming in space, because you know what they say about that... :P

AJ: Metroid: Samus Returns. I absolutely love the old 2D Metroid games so I'm curious to see how I feel about this one.
