WRUP: Hello Tokyo and Anaheim!
by Ross Miller

- Alexander Sliwinski: Must, must, must finish Infinite Undiscovery this weekend. Also been meaning to try Hinterland.
- Christopher Grant: Still stationed in Japan, far from the upcoming onslaught of major releases and the LittleBigPlanet beta, I'll have to settle for using the Tokyo Game Show as my own personal gaming closet until I return. Looking forward to stumbling my way through Gyakuten Kenji's Japanese menus, trying out some Resident Evil 5 co-op, and eating delicious ramen. Admittedly, eating ramen isn't a game but stumbling my way through ordering it is pretty fun (and challenging!).
- Griffin McElroy: I'll be playing the LittleBigPlanet beta as much as time allows until its untimely end this Sunday, making tweaks to my first ambitous published project (ostentatiously titled "The Blimp and the Birdhouse: A Cautionary Tale on Unsturdy Flora") and playing through some of the classier levels currently available to those lucky enough to procure a beta access code. I imagine I'll fit a bit of Rock Band 2 in as well, as the release of the first ever Harvey Danger DLC was met with much fanfare in my apartment.
- Kevin Kelly: I'll be playing Diablo III at BlizzCon, baby! Also Starcraft II and... archery, apparently.
- Kyle Orland: In between campaign volunteering, squeezing in some time for LittleBigPlanet, Mega Man 9 and more Rock Band 2.
- James Ransom-Wiley Let's go Phils!
- Jason Dobson: As a side effect of my recent move, I've begun going through the assortment of old games I've collected throughout the years, deciding what's worth revisiting and what's best left remembering through rose-colored glasses. I've decided this weekend will be devoted to tackling Sir-Tech's Realms of Arkania trilogy, beginning with Blade of Destiny, assuming I can even get the thing to run.
- Justin McElroy: ?????
- Ludwig Kietzmann: !!!!!
- Randy Nelson: Now that I know the LittleBigPlanet beta content will carry over to the final release, it's on! You'll be playing my level based on Leonard Part 6 day one! (That is if I don't let my new-found addiction to Galcon on the iPhone or my goal to lose 200 lbs. in one weekend using Wii Fit don't get in the way – I know the anthropomorphic Balance Board says it can't be done, but I'll see it in skinny Hell!)
- Ross Miller is so happy to have contributed to today's GameDaily's HUD (take that ... people who didn't) that he's just going to paste the same WRUP response here: Before this year's Great Explosion of AAA Releases, I'm going back through some of the library and playing through Half-Life 2 and BioShock. It'll be interesting to see how their narrative style and presentation differ from next week's Dead Space. There's also a handful of LittleBigPlanet levels I've been told to check out. Beyond that, I'm a few performances away from Endless Setlist in Rock Band 2, which time permitting I might try to take a stab at on Sunday.

I will be dreaming of playing StarCraft 2.

Just beat kotor 1 for the first time (fantastic game...and what a huge plot twist in the middle) so I'm moving on to kotor 2 and finishing jade empire and rock band 2. Gotta get all this done before farcry 2 comes out.
Lone Starr @ Oct 10th 2008 9:33PM
Orland, who are you campaigning for? >:)
I will be playing VP:TIP and Force Unleashed.

Done with Wario Land, about 66% of treasures and 25% of missions, but its not work that i would savor working at regularly from here on out. The missions are very sticky in an "oops, you failed!" kinda sense, and some of those treasures are just mean.
Instead, i shall go back to No More Heroes. By next Saturday (hopefully, solution pending) my Wii shall be reconnected and opened to the glories of Megaman 9 and Super Mario RPG

Poor Wario icon got the boot already, eh?

New theme in honor of my new definitive collection of Megas XLR
26 Episodes, 5 discs. For some reason the burner program wouldn't let me write the .MOV formatted pilot episode, "Lowbrow."
Fortunately its just a variant of episode 1.

Wish they would release an official Megas XLR boxset...

Mario RPG is a waste of Wii points and Megaman is not fun.
Wait for Space Invaders Extreme: Xbox edition. It'll probably be the greatest game.
PSN: Erdie @ Oct 11th 2008 1:22PM
@Psalm
Says you! Mega Man 9 is great.
AwesomeTown @ Oct 10th 2008 9:39PM
Currently enjoying some ALCS action, but more importantly, I finally got my xbox back from the depths of RROD hell. And it's quieter! Woot!
Anyway, I got 2 and a half weeks to finish The Witcher EE and Tales of Vesperia before Fallout 3 comes out. Oh, and also plenty of Rock Band 2 mixed in.

Ratchet Q4B, really digging it so far.

littlebigplanet beta. wish i had gotten in sooner. when taking littlebig breaks i might try and get the rest of the hidden trophies in linger in shadows. then i got a bunch of fresh missions to try in gta4 to come down off my little big high
klitorisaurus @ Oct 10th 2008 10:05PM
I'm totally gonna hold you to that Leonard Part 6 level Randy!
j.howlett @ Oct 10th 2008 10:18PM
melted butter

Rock Band...59 downloaded songs ($100 exactly).
Tomorrow me and a buddy be doing the Endless Setlist! 3rd time for me.
Yourself @ Oct 10th 2008 10:40PM
I finally convinced my laptop to run B.Shock, so I'll be playing that finally. And finishing up HL2: Episode 2, which has been downright incredible.
Final bosses that I've been putting off for months: No More Heroes, Odin Sphere, and Army of Zin. Since we're off Monday, I'll probably use the extra time to knock out one or two of those.

When are we gonna get Chris's meet the team section eh? He looks so out of place in this list, so alone without a hyperlink to cling to.
snarfoogle @ Oct 11th 2008 10:06AM
I'm not sure what I'm playing, I beat the Prince of Persia trilogy (the good one), and I'm trying to figure out something fun for my PC.

I got in as much as I could of the LBP Beta but now I must huddle in a mass of books as I study for midterms. Try out my LBP levels if you like!
4 Player - Hover Boards
Single Player - LBP Conquers the Mountain
