The Story Of Doodle Jump: Brotherly Love And Digital Snacks At the University of Texas “every Friday before finals there’s a thing called ‘Foam Sword Friday’,” writes Austin H., a computer sciences major at the university. Students go to the university district’s main drag, cross the street during a red light, and then battle it out with foam swords.
Out of obligation (and a dash of personal interest in the series still intact) I’ll be playing through the rest of Silent Hill: Homecoming this weekend. The game ships to North America on Tuesday, meaning a review is in order. It’s going to mean a bit of backtracking, unfortunately. Perhaps re-tracking, as I’ll have to revert to an older save to get the job done. More about that on Tuesday.
Otherwise, I might tinker around with Doom III — never did get around to playing it — and punishing myself with some Wario Land: Shake It! challenge missions. Add prepping for a Tokyo vacation and TGS coverage and you got yourself a weekend? How’s about you?
I’ll be one of the few playing Grand Theft Auto IV this weekend (God and Fed Ex man willing) with a legitimate copy of the game. I’ll be knee deep in multiplayer goodness, hoping to get a firm grasp on GTA IV‘s many many modes, while hopefully securing that “Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie” Achievement that will be extra hard to get.
