You are Blogcomb Readgood. You've been invited to the house of a very influential blogger (let's call him Ghris Mant) to play the latest Xbox 360 game. Ghris has left the room to procure some delicious gourmet pizza bagels. The problem: You've spilled Yoo-hoo all over his Xbox -- and it wasn't even your Yoo-hoo -- inducing the Red Ring of Death. You only have a few minutes to figure out what to do.

(Perhaps glancing at what the Joystiq staff and its loyal readers are playing will help you in some way. Probably not though.)

- Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): (Duct tapes Wii to PS3)
- Andrew Yoon: I really should play Dissidia. Is it weird that I'm not interested at all?
- Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): Drop7 is a hell of a drug.
- Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): Newly convinced that my entire life, pre-HDTV has been a waste, I'm spending most of my time in front of the thing (a 46" Panasonic G10, btw) tossing disc after disc in and marveling at all those Ps. I'm pretty sure I need to replay every game I've ever played. Ever. So, to that end, I'm starting from the beginning ... Secret of Monkey Island it is!
- David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I'm hanging with a friend tonight, and we've decided to fight each other to the death ... in video games! We'll be busting out the BlazBlue, some Street Fighter IV, and even a bit of Virtua Fighter 5. Post-Friday, my schedule is pretty open, so I might try to wrap up this Point Lookout DLC in Fallout 3. What else am I forgetting? Oh, that's right! There's this giant Wii Sports Resort package that Nintendo sent me!
- Dustin Burg (@SuperDunner): I'll be playing plenty of Halo 3 multiplayer and hopefully (fingers crossed) be able to finish up the main campaign in Prototype.
- Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): While willfully trying to force a sinus infection out of my body, I'll be passing the time with loads of The BIGS 2, and perhaps a bit of Final Fantasy VII.
- James Ransom-Wiley: What am I painting, you mean? My new apartment!
- Jem Alexander (@Yembles): Between Tales of Monkey Island, Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and various Lucasarts classics, I've got quite the point-and-click weekend ahead. Perhaps I'll round it off by finally playing the last two chapters of Sam and Max Season 1 that I never got around to.
- JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I'm playing Little King's Story and Flower, Sun, and Rain at the same time. I didn't even mean to start two XSEED games in the same week. Maybe I'll get out Retro Game Challenge again while I'm at it.
- Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): I'm gonna try to finish Red Faction Guerrilla this weekend, but I fully expect my time to be taken up by Baseball Slugger: Home Run Race 3D.
- Kevin Kelly (@gadgetguy): I'm putting myself into a coma in order to rest up before Comic-Con.
- Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): I'm playing Ben There, Dan That at the frenzied behest of one Mr. Justin McElroy. When I'm not submitting to his whims, I'll be open-ending it with Prototype and Red Faction: Guerrilla.
- Majed Athab: (Uses Frozen Hamster on Billy Dee Williams.)
- Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): Yo ho, yo ho, a Mighty Pirate's life for me ... I mean Guybrush Tripwire ("Threepwood!"). Yes, I'll be swashbuckling my way down memory lane in The Secret of Monkey Island SE. That is, when I'm not playing Battlefield 1943. Oh, who am I kidding? I probably won't be able to put down Baseball Slugger for the life of me. Thanks, Justin and James!
- Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM): Still grinding away at Plants vs Zombies. I've also finally gotten to Fallout 3. Turns out it's pretty good.
- Xav de Matos (@Xav): Secret of Monkey Island and dreaming of playing LOOM... It sounds fantastic (Aye).
- Justin Glow (@justinglow): (Knows Colt 45 works every time.)
