What do you do at family occasions, when everyone is sort of sitting around eating biscuits trying to think of something to talk about.
You play Mario Kart 8, that’s what.
This weekend I’m heading down to Canberra, with my parents in tow, to hang out with all of my in-laws. ALL OF THEM. This could either end in a Waltons-esque orgy of ‘good nights’ or we could set the entire city on fire. I’m guessing my best chance of survival is Mario Kart 8. I think that’s a safe bet, so I’ll be ‘karting’ my Wii U along with me for the ride.
What are you guys and girls playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments below!

Watch dogs, mario kart 8 and a bit of tf2.
MK8, also Tomodachi Life is out tomorrow so probably gonna be playing the crap out of that too
I hear that this game called “Dota 2” is pretty rad. I might check it out.
Prepare yourself to be abused by Russians.
(MOD’s, why do my comments have to be approved? I am using an account I made)
The Forest, MK8 and more MK8 i think…
EDIT – oh and i’ve been told there’s a new update for Project Zomboid, so i will have to check that out too
You should join us in TAY Kart Serrels!
I’ll be playing MK8 and trying to finish off The Night of the Rabbit. Might also return to Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright again.
You guys have a cup set up?
Yup! It’s a Tournament that runs every day at 7:30. We were getting some decent numbers in the first few days but it’s kinda died down a little. Might turn into a weekly thing.
@powalen has the details 😀
I *still* havent played more than 5 minutes of Layton v Phoenix, and I’m not sure why. Feels weirdly strange and alien. I only just got Miracle Mask and have gotten right into that, so maybe I’ll use that as a springboard to finally start LvP? MAYBE
Go back to LvP! I need buddies :/. It’s pretty eh… feels like the average and simple parts of both games thrown together :(. I’ve been wanting to get into Miracle Mask for ages, don’t leave me behindddd!
Still working on my project. It’s taking its time but now I’m more comfortable with all the programs I’ve never used before and all the important parts have been done. Hopefully I can knock out the whole thing before the 3 day weekend closes.
Will play a bit of BF4 – the new patch this week seems to have improved things further. Also the new batch of PS+ goodies landed this week, so I’ll take a look at Trine 2 and PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate. Downloaded the EA Sports UFC demo last night, so will have a play around with that to see if I like it, too.
Mario Kart 8. It’s a thing of beauty.
70 Minutes of Bathurst baby! Iracing GT3 series. Star Citizen dog fighting module too. Hopefully its finished downloading, took me all night to even crack the 8 gig mark
Just finished AC4 earlier this week. Yeah, the end-game section does definitely drag but the ending is strong enough that you should finish it through.
EDIT: Oops, meant to be aimed at Zambayoshi.
Still going on ACIV on PS4. Great game but tends to drag a little bit.
PS3 I’ve entered post-game on Dragon’s Dogma and finding a whole new level of challenge.
Vita – Persona 4 Golden, up to about mid-November and loving it! What a game!
I’m going to destroy a Baneblade this weekend and kill a champion of Khorne. #rpgs4lyfe
MK8 mostly, looking forward to it.
Playing MK8 on my second screen whilst waiting for queues and garbage in WoW. Really digging MK8 – slow burn – 50cc makes the game feel dull as sin. Once you hit 100cc+ and it starts clicking, it gets way more fun.
I just went straight to 150cc. Didn’t see the point with the lower difficulties! Do I need to play them to unlock crap?
Actually not sure. I always play through 50cc and work up, just for the completion factor. Rather just get it out of the way.
I don’t think so since trophies for higher ccs count towards the lower ones (Gold in a 150cc cup counts as getting Gold in 100cc and 50cc).
I did the same thing. I played through all the cups at 150cc, went and did a few on 50cc to see if it unlocked anything. It gave me more characters, which I assume would unlock anyway regardless of difficulty.
150cc tournaments are more like Dark Souls on wheels.
Borderlands 2 and Dragon’s Crown on Vita.
X-com on PS3.
Actually going to a mates place for a LAN – Mario kart 8, gain ground, tf2, tower defense, CS, payday2 and a smattering of beat em ups. Plenty of alcohol will be the de rigueur
The game where I buy a new TV and play mario kart for hours with the gf, also I’m taking two days off work next week to chill and watch the E3 coverage.
Final Fantasy X HD mainly. I’ll also be playing a mix of Etrian Odyssey Untold and Demon Gaze as well as finishing off Swords and Sworcery EP.
Watch Dogs, Mario Kart 8
and if i finish Watch Dogs (unlikely) Murdered
After seeing The Witcher Wild Hunt trailer, I wish I was playing that!
However, I hope I can sneak in some Wolfenstein The New Order (Love it, so far). However, I’m off to Orange for some vino tasting and general relaxing, so Wolf may have to wait.
Wildstar, Wildstar, Wolfenstein, drinking, Wildstar and then more Wolfenstein.
Black Flag 🙂
Vita Pets… I like this game in a completely non-ironic way… 🙁
Picked up Orcarina of Time for my 3ds.
Never played it before, I remeber hiring it years ago on the N64 but never managed to get out of the village at the start.
Had a blast with Link Between Worlds, so keen to put some hours in.
We just got Dark Souls, Max: Curse of Brotherhood and Halo: Spartan Assault free with Xbox Live’s “Games with Gold” so I’ll give each of them a try over the weekend (mostly Dark Souls I’d say, unless I simply can’t bear it).
Other than that, I want to try and squeeze in more Watch Dogs whenever my wife is napping. She still hasn’t started it yet so I can’t play it while she’s around lest I spoil things for her. She’s probably going to play Blood Dragon and Stick of Truth before she even starts on Watch Dogs. I probably would too but I feel obliged to play it while it’s new because I dropped so much money on the Dedsec edition.
South Park and Blood Dragon are two of the funniest games I’ve ever played.
I envy your wife getting to experience them for the first time still.
I’m looking forward to them myself! My pile of shame is about twice hers since she gets more time to play, but my priorities are different.
I think give it another two years aro so and I would probably have enough games to keep myself occupied forever even if I never bought another game again.
I get to run around hoping my bike can get it’s tyre patched/replaced, but once that’s done I’ll probably get to finish my first ever legend of zelda game and play some GTA 3 now it’s arrived from ebay.
I’ll finish off Watch Dogs, then play some Anno 2070. Likely some more FTB, too. And Rocksmith 2014, of course – I don’t normally like Sum41, but some of those riffs are pretty fun. Also, Slash’s stuff is heaps of fun, even if I can’t break 60%.
Hopefully finish my Uber Scottish run through Wolfenstein PS4 on Sunday, then I might have another try at Battlefield 4 seeing as though EA are screeching about updated net code. I saw a patch downloading for it last night.
Have finished off Black Flag, Dangan Ronpa, Rayman: Legends and South Park this week. Didn’t know I was so close to knocking off them all so have the fun task of choosing what to start next. Thinking about starting Hotline Miami or Persona 4 on the Vita or might finally start Wolf Among Us on the PS3.
Hotline Miami on Vita is the definitive version. Such a good game, and works so well on the platform.
Probably some Sniper Elite V2 on PC, and maybe Ni No Kuni on PS3.
Lots of Watch Dogs will be played this weekend…well at least when I’m home.
Mario Kart 8, Watch dogs, ESO, FIFA 14… might try out the defiance game now its free. Also Witcher 3 news is getting me keen to play the witcher 2
Most likely Watch Dogs, and possibly some Injustice: Gods Among Us on 360 if @pixel_the_ferret_viking or anyone else is interested.
Might take a look into my steam library too now I’ve got a new laptop.
Mario Kart, Watch Dogs, Mario Kart, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart and then maybe a little Mario Kart.
Mario Kart of course. The boy and myself have taken to focussing all replays on Luigi now. This shit is addictive.
Going to plug my 360 up to my PC monitor and potentially start Gears of War for the first time. Or Bayonetta. Or Dark Souls. So many choices for that console because I’ve only just recently gotten it.
Other than that, Mario Kart with the wife and maybe some Skyrim/Fallout: NV.
Jealous, I love getting a console late to the party like that, such a smorgasbord of bargains and they can all be enjoyed free of hype. I came to the PS3 fairly late and it was rad.
Be warned, the original Gears has aged pretty heavily, it’s kinda clunky now. The sequels play much nicer. Also, if you’ve played many cover shooters you’ll find it pretty easy, so skip to the harder difficulty.
Wildstar, DayZ & Dota 2. I might play some Watch Dregs but I doubt it.
Going to 100% infamous second son, play through watch dogs, play a bit through tomb raider with some wildstar interspersed here and there
got the house to myself for 3 days so definitely watch dogs on the nice home theater 🙂 probably also some wow.
Finish Wolfenstein new order and hammer Mario Kart 8. Woo, both games are rad!
I’ll finish off Watch Dogs, i only have a few missions to go. I have done all the weapons trade, missing people and human trafficking side quests.
Maybe Mario Kart 8.
Wildstar! 😀
Dungeons and Dragons!
Cards Against Humanity (US)!
With my life by buying another KFC Double!
Dnd ftw! Playing it tonight with my nerdy friends. We just hit epic level about 3 weeks ago and this game has been running for 3 years!
Just finished ffviii steam version and still loving csgo so probably more of that and might start on some metro last light.
Our session has been going since 2012, and we’ve only hit level 7.
Doesn’t help that we only seem to play every 1-3 months on average.
Just picked up Rayman Legends for Wii U for $18. Can’t wait to play co-op with my 6yr old son.
The shenanigans shall be legendary…
It’s so good on Wii u with the tablet and TV too.
make sure you do the music bonus stages. The platforming is in time with mock versions of songs like Black Betty and it is hilarious!
We haven’t got that far yet but I can’t wait. My son is stuck on Pikmin via Nintendoland at the moment. He loves playing co-op so much we have barely scratched the surface of Legends.
Eitherway…I’m happy. 🙂
Titancrack, err I mean Titanfall.
As long as I can pull myself away from Rooster Teeth, YouTube, and TAY, I’ll probably be playing some TImeshift. That game is pretty underrated.
It’s my birthday tomorrow, so we’ll see… 🙂
Grimdawn, FOF and im playing Master of Orion 2 again (its still great)
I have no idea of this thing you call ‘family’, but the idea is to try and tackle the Awakened DLC for Dead Space 3 or continue Sniper Elite V2 in co-op with a friend tonight.
