I can’t stand the heat. Always fear that my PC starts melting. Maybe the above picture helps.

But what is everyone playing?

• Andrew J Amideo (@Andoro36): Street Fighter (Super IV AE and possibly some Alpha 3). Also Rage. I picked it up on Steam and am playing it again (though I never finished it the first time). I saw the new Mad Max last weekend and Rage is all I've wanted to play since then. It's the closest approximation I can think of.
• Billy Colley (@Amuntoth): Flame Over, WCW Wrestling on my NES, and some Fallout 1 in there as well. Not to mention working on the Chroma Squad review video.
• Cody Hall (@Yoda0VGs): Away from the computer for the weekend, so the occasional Threes! Game will be all I'm playing.
• Greywolfe (@lostwolfe, YouTube):quest for glory 2 [finishing that up], the dig [finishing that up, too] and limbo - which is winding down as well.  the next sierra game is coming soon!  i'm not real sure what else i'm going to play with the dig and limbo vacating slots.
• Jimmy Vegas (@JimmyPhantom17): Going to play some Tales of Symphonia
•  John Rausch (@visitzebes): Splatoon, Destiny, and Fallout 3 are all likely candidates this weekend.
• Thomas Ortsik (@Dr_Strangethumb): SPLATOON! Also currently finishing The Order 1886 (Hey Sam!). Really liking it so far. Not a great game, but a nice movie. Might also stream some Big Pharma over the weekend.
• Trisha Baumgartner (twitch): After homework comes the rest of saints row 4, also trying to power level my monk on wow. Its going to be a busy weekend!
• Trey Valeska (@Trey_Valeska): Maybe some Witcher 1, but probably just resting this weekend and watching some Full Moon Horror films.
• Richard Mitchell (@TheRichardM): I am very addicted to Vain Glory. Also judging games for @TheGeekieAwards
• Sam Prell (@SamPrell): My poor PC had to be taken in for repairs, so I *suppose* I can finally finish The Order: 1886 now.
• Susan Arendt (@SusanArendt): None of my consoles are hooked up at the mo, so more Story of Seasons.
• Mike Suszek (@mikesuszek): Susan will be proud: Trying to get back in P4G during honeymoon downtime. Otherwise, I read a bunch of Sandman comics and plan to read more.
• Anthony John Agnello (@ajohnagnello, Twitch): Goodbye to Ciri, the Queen of Cintra/See you, me and Geralt down by the schoolyard!

 

With the release of one of the most controversial games this year, I’m going to send you off into the weekend, you know, so you can play it and shoot things. In the end, you have to see for yourself if it’s really as bad as everyone led you to believe when it was first shown. Sure, its low price point and the marketing that is directed mostly at kids is something that we need to talk about at some point, but let’s be honest: which decent parent buys their kid a game called …Splatoon? An awesome one, I guess.

Whats everyone playing over the weekend?

• Andrew J Amideo (@Andoro36): Freedom Planet, Fallout: New Vegas.
• Billy Colley (@Amuntoth): I'll be finishing Chroma Squad, streaming some Sega Master System Pro Wrestling, and also streaming some Flame Over

Ok, let’s make this quick, got to catch a train to the 19th century.

What is everyone playing this weekend?

• Andrew J Amideo (@Andoro36): I'll be taking a trip to the beach for the holiday weekend so if I do any gaming at all, it'll have to be on my 3DS. Possibly a little Donkey Kong Country Returns or Mario Tennis Open, if there's some downtime.

Glad everyone liked it! Special thanks to Andrew, who wrote the introduction.
