Hopefully, it'll be something a fraction better than this.

The weekend is a great time to cook - particularly if said cooking involves pegging ingredients at your friends.

Sometimes, you just want to go home and blow a lot of stuff up. Weekends are good for that.

Getting the 1997 retrospective ready yesterday reminded me of some wonderful memories that, as it turns out, are great for rediscovering on the weekend.

The weekend offers plenty of opportunity to explore new roads. Especially ones you've been meaning to tread for quite some time.

The weekend is a great opportunity to catch up on chores, phone calls, games ... and work.

The weekend is a great time to knock through some games, but it's also a good opportunity to go for a little drive.

Sometimes, you just want to herd cats.

The weekend is a wonderful time to catch up with friends. But does that mean you can't squeeze in some gaming at the same time? Of course not.

Apart from the hours I'll be binning with Tegan playing with the random street cats that have been nesting nearby, I'll also be doing a lot of this on the weekend: Who's a pretty dinosaur?

While most long weekends are great for smashing through longer video games, this weekend is really about seeing new ones come out.

I'll be flying to Taipei - tonight, in fact - so while my weekend won't be occupied with a whole lot of video games, there's something I'm keen to try nonetheless.

While I'll be working this weekend, doing — well, you can probably guess — don't let me stop you from enjoying the fruits of your PC. Or console. Or whatever board game you have on your shelf that remains in its plastic. No better time to get stuck in than tomorrow and the day that follows it, which I'm calling "after-tomorrow".

With no plans to get engaged again, this weekend is probably going to be a little more settled for me. Probably with video games.

The weekend is great for binging, but sometimes you just want to go for a drive.

The weekend is typically a great time to chill, but that's not entirely on the cards this time.

It's shaping up to be a windy, wet weekend around my neck of the woods. Which sounds like a bloody wonderful time to knock out some video games.

There's always something to play, a new land to discover. And in my case, I'm going to spend a little bit of time in a very cute land.

I've got a friend staying over this weekend, so entertaining will be on the cards as is appropriate for the weekend. But another weekend appropriate activity: slashing the snot out of trolls.
