   I haven’t picked up Portal 2 yet, so I’ll be playing a mix of Shift 2, Crysis 2 and whatever shooter my brother wants to play together this weekend. Looking forward to a nice 5 day zone out period!

   I had a few things planned. Sadly, The PSN has self destructed and Portal 2 crashes every time I try to boot if from Steam so all my plans are fucked.

   Crysis 2 singleplayer, Homefront multiplayer.

   Gotta finish Portal 1 (I’m on level 19).
   More time on Meatboy and Perfect Dark maybe.

   I’m playing on ANZAC day, and learning tunes over the weekend, and I’ll probably go see Thor today.

Then away at family farm for rest of break, luckily I deposited my old Gamecube and 4 controllers there at Xmas so Mario kart Double Dash and Virtua Soccer 2 with brother in laws will be happening. Thank you Jebus for giving us this long weekend full of chocolate!

   What platform is “canoe” on? Sounds like it could be interesting!

   As for myself, I’ll be plodding along in Minecraft, maybe partaking in a little Trials HD Big Thrills pack. Still have Batman AA on backlog, but cant seem to want to play it!? Anyways, Happy long weekend/Chocolate Day everybody. 😀

    Portal 2’s pretty short. Beat it, as well as the first three co-op rooms in about 10 hours. Going to go back and collect all the radios in the first Portal this weekend.

    Off to Port Stephens with gf so no gaming until Sunday night. I’ll be playing Mario Galaxy, LittleBigPlanet PSP and Demon’s Souls.

    Since I ordered Portal 2 from the UK, I prob won’t be able to play it until later next week, or worse (and more likely), the week after :'(

    I shall be finishing Portal, finishing Portal 2 co-op, wasting a few precious hours that could be spent playing Portal by going to a friend’s birthday, and probably replaying Portal 2.

    Oh, and if I get time, some Demon’s Souls. Although at this rate I think that I might let Buttercup take another week off, because my capture card should arrive next week and that will make things a whole lot easier for me.

    Unlike, I think, everyone who goes to Kotaku AU, I’ll probably not be playing Portal 2. For various reasons.

    Since I crave gaming, I’ll have to settle for MineCraft.

    Haaaahahaha, camping.
    Like, outdoors. In wilderness. And sunlight.
    Good luck!

    I’ve gone back to pre-Portal 2 games now I’m done with that. Juggling between Pokemon, Shogun 2 and Yakuza 4 (Well really, just the Mahjong part).

    Happy Easter all, may your gaming long weekend be a good one!

    Just got Marvel vs Capcom 3 on PS3, so some of that, some Halo Reach, and some Borderlands. Anyone got Borderlands on Steam? Hit me up for some co-op, my user name is either Gorstrom or Ultimacija (I keep forgetting).

    Probably finish Portal 2 on PC, maybe get started in the Co-Op mode with a mate.

    I STARTED Oblivion, too… so maybe try and immerse myself in that…

    And I’ll probably try beat my record marksman scores in Bad Company 2 as well 🙂

    Portal 2 co-op with my wife, finishing KOTOR and Beyond Good & Evil HD… and another title I’d prefer not to name due to the nefarious methods I had to resort to in order to obtain it 🙁

    Well… I just got back from lunch with Jimu Hsien and his Mrs! Was a blast! Good food and good times had by all I think! 🙂 Great way to start the long weekend! Game wise, I picked up SSX Tricky on the Gamecube last night, and I haven’t played that since I had an xbox years ago, so I’ll be getting in to that a little bit 🙂 Also more time with Kinect I think! Should be a great gaming weekend!

    Gonna be playing Gears 3 beta and the timeless classic “Watch Fanboys Rage”, with a special dual event “My console’s better than yours because my service isn’t down/Yeah well my console’s better than yours because we don’t have to p2p online” just in time for the long weekend.

    Portal 2 of course! Also tried grinding (butting my head up against a wall) last night in Mass Effect.

    10 hours in and I feel like its going nowhere, your proficiency with a weapon seems to be based on how much you level up your attributes. Aiming is terrible, worse than just about any console shooter I’ve played and roaming around seemingly random terrain in the MAKO is soul destroying.

    Its funny with all the complaints on Metacritic about Portal 2’s length – I feel the opposite – I cannot devote endless hours to a game (I’ve had M.E. for a year and only managed to put in 10 hrs game time – a lot more if you count the number of deaths and endless walking/driving from save points)

    Give me a short but swet campaign anyday – and some worthwhile multiplayer!

    Played a bit of Half Life 2 over the last 2 days after finishing Portal for the second time. Yet to get my hands on Portal 2 yet.

    A good run on Dirt 2 today and will no doubt visit it again before the weekend’s gone. Been revisiting some I haven’t played for a while so no telling what will come next.

    Portal 2 on PS3, God Eater Burst on PSP, and Chrono Trigger/DQM Professional Joker on my 3DS.

    PSN issue has put a few holes in my plans though, plus Steam’s item server (or whatever it is) seems to be down so I can’t access all my loadouts on TF2!

    It’s shaping up to be a good weekend for my two favorite handhelds.
