All the half-joking Twitter talk of post-
PAX con SARS actually culminated this week with
confirmed cases of Swine Flu (H1N1) being the PAX pox affecting attendees. Rather than panic, take a look at the
CDC's documentation on the subject. Stay healthy, folks. What's everyone playing this weekend?
- Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Made the horrible mistake of buying Assassin's Creed last weekend. Talk about buyer's remorse. Feel obligated to continue this weekend. In reality, probably play Arkham fight rooms and vent my bad purchasing decision on some thugs.
- Andrew Yoon (@scxzor): This is my last weekend with access to games before I go off to Tokyo. I'm hoping to get some time with Borderlands and some more time with Ratchet & Clank Future.
- Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): Considering how messed up Batman looks at this point, I think I'm nearing the end of that joint. Though I'm sure I'll jump into the challenge rooms, it'll only be so long before The Beatles: Rock Band commands my full attention. Also, looking for new iPhone jams -- suggestions, folks?
- Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): If I can carve off a big enough chunk of time, I'll spend it smashing stuff in Red Faction: Guerrilla. I've also got one more level of Resident Evil 5 co-op to complete, if both Sheva and Chris (me!) can make the time. In reality, I'm pretty sure most of my weekend will be spent in an octopus's garden with The Beatles: Rock Band ... if Amazon can figure out how to deliver my game. C'mon, it's Friday!
- David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): My plate's pretty full this weekend. I've got Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story for review and I'm still punching and kicking my way through Arkham's inmate population in Batman: Arkham Asylum. When not playing those, I'll be making my way through Silent Hill: Origins on PSP.
- Dustin Burg (@SuperDunner): Mostly, I'll be playing Halo 3 in preparation for ODST's drop into retail. That's pretty much it ... oh, and sleep. Plenty of sleep.
- Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): The enjoyable portion of my weekend will be spent playing The Beatles: Rock Band. The unenjoyable portion will be spent wrestling with a single, non-removable corrupt file from my computer's hard drive.
- James Ransom-Wiley: Heading to one last summer bash down the shore -- Rock Band in tow. Rain, rain go away!
- JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I'm going to be staring at Muramasa in total awe.
- Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): I'm still trying to play Champions Online but with limited friends who actually play the game my interest is waning. (Red Son@justinmcelroy, let's do this, people!) Also, Scribblenauts, MUA 2 and some Last Night on Earth.
- Kevin Kelly (@gadgetguy): I'm playing IL-2 Sturmovik and rolling up a couple of new D&D 4th edition characters while trying to finish my last straggling PAX stories. Also going back in time with some Urban Chaos: Riot Response from Rocksteady ... very pre-Batman. I'm attending a special Tron presentation today at Disney, which will bring out my inner fanboy. More than the D&D did.
- Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): I'll be playing Wet and recoiling in horror every time I think that I have to tell people I'm playing a game called "Wet."
- Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): It's going to be a battle for the big TV this weekend. I'm totally geared up to spend the weekend with Need For Speed: Shift, and there's still Arkham Asylum to solve ... but my lady friend has Wet and Metroid Prime Trilogy to beat, so I just might end up in my man cave, playing on the ol' CRT.
- Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM): On some weird whim, I've been tackling Mega Mans 1-8 on the Xbox Mega Man Anniversary Collection (it's backwards compatible and awesome). I had completely forgotten (or perhaps never finished?) the ending of Mega Man 2. Other than that, I'll be making my first Diablo II Nightmare run in ages. Oh, also some Professor Layton (the first one).
- Xav de Matos (@Xav): Putting the new TV through its paces with inFamous and Valkyria Chronicles, while plugging away at Puzzle Quest on my PSP.
- Justin Glow (@justinglow): (Making next year's flu.)
