WRUP: Almost reaching the Halo: Reach beta edition

The "official" start of the Halo: Reach beta is almost upon us. Next Monday, May 3, those with an ODST disc will gain access to the second-most (or is it the most?) hyped beta of all time. Considering the massive amount of folks expected to call in sick on Monday, don't be surprised if things don't go exactly smooth at launch. Now, Tuesday. Tuesday is gonna be awesome.

What's everyone playing this weekend?

• Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): I'll play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Dante's Inferno. I should also really, really get around to playing Awakening.
• Andrew Yoon (@scxzor): I'll have my PS3 and Xbox 360 on at the same time so I can play ModNation Racers in between Halo: Reach matches.
• Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): When I'm not playing Halo: Reach and Bad Company 2, I'll be sinking further into Trials HD and finishing up Deniable Ops in Splinter Cell: Conviction.
• Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): The usual: Final Fantasy XIII. But also Alan Wake, Halo: Reach multiplayer beta, and WarioWare: D.I.Y. – it's a busy weekend!
• David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): Super Street Fighter IV, Halo: Reach and Trials HD -- can't waste time on words, I have games to play!
• Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): I'll be playing Halo: Reach alongside all of my Joystiq compatriots. (Feel free to copy and paste this answer into everyone else's responses. I imagine they'll all be fairly similar.)
• James Ransom-Wiley: I'll be playing Halo: Reach alongside all of my Joystiq compatriots.
• JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher) Much like my coworkers, I'll be up late every night playing an exciting new game... for me, though, it's Picross 3D.
• Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): ...
• Kevin Kelly (@gadgetguy): ...
• Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): I've already made arrangements for yet another co-op dash through Magic Sword, but there's also time reserved for Halo: Reach, Metro 2033 and ... Rock Band 2. What? I just got it, okay?
• Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): I'll be playing Halo: Reach alongside all of my Joystiq compatriots.
• Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin) I'll be playing Halo: Reach alongside all of my Joystiq compatriots.
• Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM): Seriously, Microsoft, what were you thinking when you gave me the Reach beta and Alan Wake at the same time?
• Xav de Matos (@Xav): It will be an epic battle for my time between Uncharted 2 co-op siege mode and the Halo: Reach beta. And hearing Rich talk about Alan Wake so much lately made me want to play the game again, so I will!
