  • Andrew (Twitter): Various Wii U virtual console Castlevania games. (There are actually quite a few on there.)
  • Dante: Hearthstone, TF2 and who knows what else. Maybe Viewtiful Joe 2.
  • Greywolfe (Twitter, YouTube): banjo kazooie is done.  it is a complete blast.  :)  rex is nearly finished, too.  just mopping up different areas of the abandoned city, now.  inca got stalled, again :P - i just dread the end of that game.  :) - the big world of warcraft project has nearly finished up darkshore.  so i'm heading to a new zone, soon.  i'm going to have to find something to replace banjo kazooie with and i'm not sure what.
  • Scrooloose: Rocket League for me still. Planning on picking up Hearts of Stone for Witcher 3 and getting my Gwent decks claimed, so going through that. Also I may finally put the effort in to making my character in Path of Exile again.
  • Thomas (Twitter): Probably more Kingdom, Rebel Galaxy and Rogue State. What a great season for Indie-Games. Who need Halo and Assassin’s Creed?
  • Trish (Twitch): Pre ordered my copy of Fallout 4, and grinding light levels in Destiny. I'm so terrible at this game it's not funny.
  • Yoda0VGs (Twitter): Gonna be checking out some Warhammer Vermintide!!

W.R.U.P The Bored Edition

I've been away for a week and the first thing I see on the front page is a very awkward yet appealing gluteus maximus, otherwise known as a 'butt'. Loved the article by the way Grey. Alright let's start this wrap up right by talking about a game that is on sale on Steam that might be a decent buy if you're looking for something to waste time on or even if you're looking for a new 'scratch that itch' game.

If you haven't already picked up Darkest Dungeon it might be the time.

Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic rogue like turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring. Recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes against unimaginable horrors, stress, famine, disease, and the ever-encroaching dark. Can you keep your heroes together when all hope is lost? - Steampage

Yes it is in early access, but this isn't one that's going to stay in early forever, from what I've read the game is close to release with only a few minor bumps to iron out. Also from the reviews being mostly positive I might actually snatch this one up too.

On a side note, I'd like to say that I've fallen to temptation. Yes, I, Tisnight have started playing Destiny. *Pauses as the audience screams in horror* Alright, calm down, it's actually not as bad as I was lead to believe but it's still not my cup of tea. Haven't been in a shooter mood as much I've been in a simulation mood, and that's where prison architect has been scratching my gaming itch.

But enough about me, what else is everyone playing?

Greywolfe(Youtube, Twitter): I've picked up from where i left off with Rex nebular, which probably means that I'm going to also pick up Inca once more.  i think that game is pretty close to being done, anyway.  World of Warcraft has me in another night elf zone trapped in some caves [again.] - and police quest 3 /just/ made me book a drunk guy.  i remember that there's a cut scene right after that that /actually/ gets the plot of the game moving [80/410 points later.] - other than that, I'm trying to play a bit of banjo-kazooie.  i dunno how that'll go.
Andrew(Twitter):Batman: Arkham City and Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition.
Dr.S(Thomas) (Dead)(Twitter): I will sit my strap my girlfriend to a chair and do bad things to her. Nah, nothing filthy, you swine! I'll let her play The Beginner's Guide, which put me already in a state of perpetual depression. Or is Assassin's Creed: Unity responsible for that? Playing Undertale probably isn't helping either. God, what am I doing to my fragile psyche?
Yoda0VGs (Twitter): More Dota and maybe some Battlefront if I can stop being cynical ;P
Dante: Hearthstone (this week's brawl is a lot of fun), TF2 and Dragon's Crown.

My thoughts exactly.

Alright guys I'm outta here.

The WRUP For Red October

So, it seems that the good doctor will be without internet for a few days and, evidently, the honorable task of posting the weekly WRUP has now fallen to me. I shall try not to disappoint.

But what to talk about here? How about the fact that we're into October already? How crazy is that?! I feel like July just ended, but that was two months ago already!

At least I can start counting down to my favorite holiday now. For me, October is a month-long celebration of all things spooky and/or Halloween-related. And I don't just mean costumes, candy, and pumpkins (though those are all certainly helpful).

No, I'm talking about movies, music, video games, breakfast cereals...also this. There's actually a surprising number of ways that one can get into the season, if one is so inclined. But enough talk!

What's everybody playing?

Late Night Wrup the II

Well, turns out that my game of the year so far, is a game I’m too chickenshit to play myself, and it’s actually not that great of a game anyway. SOMA, the new title by the folks behind the first Amnesia, offers one of the most interesting pieces of Sci-Fi I’ve seen in years however. It’s a story that keeps you guessing all the way through and is asking some really great questions. Shame it’s a horror title.

404 WRUP NOT FOUND

Wasn’t there supposed to be some Gamescom stuff? Oh, I’m not supposed to talk about that? Well, fine. So let’s talk about the latest in gaming... Sorry, no idea. I’m completely out of the loop. All I know at the moment is MGS (awesome), Mad Max (somewhere between meh and fun) and a game I’m not allowed to talk about.

I might get back into streaming and video, but my accent is still super thick and since my 90€ editing software is still not working (fuck you Cyberlink with your shit software and support, and fuck you Amazon for not allowing refunds on downloads), the quality will probably suck.

But enough with the nonsense, what is everybody playing? Read more

Butt WRUP Solid

Metal Gear Solid is out. Mad Max is out. What a great time to be sick.
I went for MGS and what I got wasn’t exactly what I expected. It’s more Ubisoft than MGS. Splinter Cell meets Far Cry meets Assassin’s Creed, with plenty of silly sprinkled in.
A great game, no question about it, but not story driven and therefore not Metal Gear Solid. Where are my hour long cutscenes? Whats up with all the collectible shit? Hundreds of side missions?

The gameplay is great, the amount of content you get for the money is outstanding for a game like this, you can listen to Kids In America while your horse takes a shit on civilians that got burnt to a crisp, and there is enough Hideo Kojima (non)sense in it for me to love it, but as someone who fucking adored MGS2, I feel this little speck of “disappointment dust” in my eye, and the more I try to rub it out, the more it itches.

But what is everybody else playing this weekend?

Give me a W. Give me a R. Give me a U. Give me a P.

This week the WRUP falls to me because I have some exciting news coming your way and also because Dr. S is currently sick and passed out and I've stolen his computer (Mwhahaha). Next week is the Toronto Ontario Canada's FanExpo and I will be there attending it. What's so exciting about FanExpo you ask? Well let me let you in on a tiny secret. Video Game Demos! *Squee*

Alright let me compose myself here a tiny bit and give you a list of Demos that I'll be hopefully reporting on the week after.

  • Assasins Creed: Syndicate
  • Battleborn
  • Halo 5:Guardians
  • Disney Infinity 3.0
  • R6
  • StarWars: Battlefront
  • Lego Demiensions

And without a doubt my personal hopeful, Project Morpheus.

It's not just all about video games though, you can find yourself walking aisles and aisles of comicbooks, figurines, collectibles, treasures and more. There's table top games, costumes, and people everywhere that you can chat with. Are you an up and coming writer? Do you want to be an illustrator of some form? There's vendors from all over the globe that you can meet. If you do see me walking around in my Teemo hat next week while I'm in Toronto don't be afraid, stop by and say Hi!

Alright now, let's get down to the real reason we're all here. What's everyone playing this weekend?

  • Andrew(Twitter):In a Rockstar mood. Might replay Red Dead Redemption. Also, possibly some GTA IV (though I never beat that one). Oh, and some Mega Man Legacy Collection for good measure.
  • Danteg: I'll be playing the waiting game. I need my new ISP to get their installation done so I can get back online.
  • Thomas(Twitter): Too sick for gaming now, which sucks. I'll probably manage a round of solitaire though.
  • Greywolfe(Twitter,Youtube): Rex nebular:  I'm now out of the ship and exploring the planet.  it's a proto-larry game and from what i remember, things get silly from this point outward.  larry 5:  we're doing what i believe is the last Patti segment and then the game wraps up.  i could be wrong.  I've installed and played a bit of Wildstar, so maybe that, but my big pet project at the moment is leveling a guy in wow from scratch on a new server with no money or gear.  we'll see how that goes. There may come a point where the garrosh-ness and orc-ness of the game makes me just flip a table completely. Oh!  I'm also dithering around and messing with evoland 2.  so far, i quite like what I've played.
  • Tisnight(Twitch): Been playing a ton of Starcraft 2's arcade games, check out Solo Lottery Defense, a sort of weird tower defense where you set up your defenses by scratching lottery tickets, RNG is a bitch!
  • Yoda0VGs(Twitter):Back on the multiplayer gaming fix. My inner masochist will be continuing to put another 300 hours into Dota while the idiot in me will be hoping back and forth between a few different MMOs until one.... stiqs  :smile:
  • Hasenpffefer(Steve): Planning, planning and hearthstone. Also more planning.

The Gamepocalypse is near. Stock up on your WRUP!

Another week done, still not even close to getting any of the videos from Gamescom out. Screw you CyberLink and your broken software.
Anyway, the season of games is now starting: Metal Gear Solid V, Until Dawn, Madden, Mad Max, and Gears of War are all getting released in the next 14 days. Even some indies throw their weight into the ring.
I still need to finish The Witcher 3…

But what is everyone playing this weekend?
