What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Uncharted 3? Skyrim? Batman: Arkham City? No, no, and no. Despite having access to all three games, I will be playing none of them this weekend. Why? I’m about to enter my last week of university (as in after this I will have completed my double degree! Forever! Yayayayayayay!) and I have assignments to do. But hey, don’t let my tedious workload get in the way of your fun. What are you playing this weekend?

In other news, it’s kind of difficult to find images of school-related games without coming across hentai. Memo to self: start using Safe Search.

  Didn’t you just write “Dark Souls” twice?

Uncharted 3, Dark Souls and a little game known as “trying to come up with stuff to write so that I don’t fail miserably at NaNoWriMo”.

Nothing… I’m currently 6,000km’s away from my games on a business trip 🙁

Mafia II. Four chapters to go!

Then…
Maybe Uncharted 3 if I get it.
Maybe Demon’s Souls if I get it.
Maybe Arkham City if I get it.

Avoiding NaNoWriMo has been REALLY good for my gaming. *facepalm*

Well this weekend I have a choice between:

Batman: Arkham City
Dark Souls
Battlefield 3
Forza 4
Sonic Generations

on a semi-related note I am flat broke

I am still hoping for some kind of miracle that results in me getting my hands on Modern Warfare 3 today instead of next week.

Failing that, probably Arkham City. I’m only just now up to the part of the story I was at before my savefile got corrupted.

If I don’t end up going away, I’ll be hitting up some Battlefield 3 an Dark Souls. Rage has fallen on my backburner, I found it pretty boring to be honest, I’ll finish it eventually. Just paid in full for Skyrim and MW3 so I think I’ll be taken care of for a while.

Also, congrats on uni!

Playing some more Once Upon a Monster with my Nephew which is best kids game I have seen and a really awesome use of Kinnect. Also good for a few easy acheivements.

If I get some time probably more Battlefield 3 which I am slowly getting better at and by that I mean not dying 30 times and killing one person…by accident…when I crash my helicopter.

Have no idea… with Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, Batman : Arkham City, PixelJunk Sidescroller, Okabu, Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, Infmaous : Festival Of Blood, Hydrophobia all recently purchased/downloaded…

I’m sure it will be something from that list.

Tonight I’ll be playing Uncharted 3, played for an hour last night and got to Chapter 4. Pretty slow to begin, but gave a nice amount of back story.

If I get bored, or think I’m rushing through too quickly I’ll switch over to Arkham City to collect the remaining Riddler trophies and finish some side missions.

Tomorrow night will all be about the multiplayer! Battlefield 3, Dead Island, Castle Crashers etc… Got a few mates and we’ve all cleared out schedules to make way for a night of gaming festivities!
