Law Suit WRUP

Alright so if you're into games and game critics you'll know that a certain Mr. Jim Sterling has been getting hit left and right with law suits that have basically no base. Most recently is a Trademark attack based on a video he made of a title from a Greenlight developer and is just as silly as the last one he was hit with. The man doesn't need to pay more legal fees for fair use content for crying out loud. Check out what everyone's favorite copyright lawyer has to say about that.

Then there's John Carmack. He's apparently suing Zenimax for some twenty two million dollars for allegedly failing to fully pay him for his time there. Crazy times guys, crazy times.

Anyway, what's everyone up to this weekend?

Andrew: More Breath of the Wild. I'm loving it on the Wii U. Still haven't experienced any noticeable performance issues.

Greywolfe: i'm VERY nearly at a point where i can start doing the story mode of shadow of mordor. just a tiny bit more grinding to go. [250 more "red" xp, aka, fight captains and so on. you'll probably know what i'm talking about if you've played the game.] - other than that? lots of pip adventuring. i'm supposed to also be playing "a mind forever voyaging," but for that game, i have to make a map. and i don't really feel like mapping it :P - so i'm being a little lazy on that front.

Scroo: Well I finished the Darksiders: Warmastered Edition and am currnetly writing about it so probably just more Vermintide for me. I'll have to see if anything else strikes me I suppose.

Dr. S.: Snipperclips with the girlfriend, Zelda mit me, maybe some I am Setsuna and Fast RMX. Yay for the Switch. Finally weekend gaming is a thing again

Yoda: Definitely going to be playing more Horizon Zero Dawn. Maybe I'll buy Wildlands, but I may wait to see if Andromeda is worth getting

WRUP: One Thousand And One Posts Edition

Who's your designated WRUP driver this weekend?  It's me.

So don't get too drunk [on games] or I might have to throw you out of the car.  :P

A couple of things before I write the WRUP.

I'd like to thank all of you for showing up and reading our stuff across the last 1,000 posts.  Yeah, we're mainly about WRUP and Gameclub at the moment, but we appreciate that you come here just to unwind.

Secondly:  Good God, Shadow of Mordor is grindy.  Anyhow, that's it from me, what's the rest of the team playing? Read more

The never ending cycle of WRUP

What the fuck is wrong with the video game industry? I can somewhat deal with a packed Christmas release window by spacing things out, but now they start the year in January? Isn’t that against the spirit of 4iF? Yakuza 0 and Nioh are both amazing. Then there is For Honor, Halo Wars 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, Resident Evil 7, Sniper Elite 4, NieR and Ghost Recon Wildlands? WHY, WHO, HOW? (Oh, and the new Zelda for people who care about that shit) Read more

WRUP: ARyse, #4if

I'm your weekly neighbourhood Greywolfe and we're going to go to the WRUP Bush City Limits.

As some of you might be aware, this is the beginning of February.  Lots of people think that this is a time for loooovveeee, but they're completely wrong.  Instead, it's Four In February time.

Some of us have written posts about our intentions, so I won't tell you about that, instead, let me tell you about ROME!

And the EMPEROR!

And the many QTE's.  Lol.  There are SO, SO many.  [Mainly for finishing moves, but eh.  They're there.]

Otherwise, Rome's quite beautiful, even if it is one super long corridor.  Plus, those death animations.  Man!  They're grisly.

So now you know some of what I'm playing.  Let's look at what everyone else is doing:

TWRUMP

Another Friday, another WRUP. I’m repeating myself on these …way more than I should. After all, it’s usually not more than a couple of lines. Guess that comes from doing them ad-hoc without anything to say in the first place. Could “think first – write afterwards” be a solution to this problem? Is it even a problem? Aren’t we just here to let our peers know what we’ll going to play over the weekend?

Well, at least I’m not talking about politics. Right? Read more
