WRUP: Reliving the horror

by Alexander Sliwinski on Mar 25th 2011 11:11PM

If we can't get the image out of our minds, neither will you!

Reggie visits Fallon tonight. We work with a specialist to remove the picture from our minds for the next year.

What's everyone playing?

Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Planning on some XBLA Poker tonight and perhaps some League of Legends this weekend. I really do have to get back into Dragon Age 2, but switching the difficulty to normal. I've hit a weird difficulty spike I can't surmount.
Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): Figuring out how taxes work is kind of like a game, right? Right?!
Chris Buffa (@ChrisBuffa): From my sick bed, it's all about the 3DS on Sunday. Can't wait to check out Pilotwings Resort and my sleeper hit of the launch, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars. Hey, it's by the same designer that worked on Rebelstar Tactical Command for GBA. In case you've never heard of that game ... it was great.
Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): I finally got an iPad 2 this morning (fingers sooo cold) and I'm traveling to St. Louis, so I'll spend the weekend playing all those iPad games I've missed out on. First up: Sword & Sworcery.
David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I just finished chapter 7 in Dead Space 2 and hope to wrap that game up this weekend. Chapter 6? "Amaaaaaazing!"
Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): I've finished all the games I had on the docket -- maybe I'll dip back into WoW while I wait for my next GameFly arrival.
James Ransom-Wiley: Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up. (I'll be playing VVVVVV!)
JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): When I finish Yakuza 4, I think I'll officially be done with review games (unless one arrives today). That means I'll be free to play whatever I want. OH GOD WHAT DO I DO.
Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): [Something embargoed, surely]
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): Crysis 2! Dragon Age 2! Bulletstorm! Beyond Good and Evil HD! EXCITE!
Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): Waiting for AA, AK, KK in Full House Poker. Will probably be sitting in on Texas Heat all day long on Saturday.
Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): Loads and loads of Shift 2 Unleashed, as much Crysis 2 multiplayer as possible, then some 3DS'n (yes, that's what the kids will be calling it) on the side.
Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM) So much League of Legends. Maybe some Marvel vs. Capcom 3 at a friend's house. But then more League of Legends.

I think Reggie Fallon would be the perfect match for DSG. Her face is a very fitting reaction too.

Bastards!

I'm playing MGS2 on a whim right now. This week it'll be more MvC3 and that's probably it. Maybe some Epic Dungeon; haven't beaten it on Hard Mode yet.

@Acosta02

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

Thanks for the advice, guys, but do you know what day it is today?

I'm playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

@RagnarokSam
Bad ass my friend.

He looks like Chris Hanson should be having a conversation with him at some 15 yr old's kitchen table.

I'm playing Pokemon Black, Halo 3, and God of War 2 HD and some studying for SATs for June

Playing Pokemon White and growling at Elesa and her damned Emolga, electric-flying with high speed, strong non-electric moves, and that fricking Static ability that means your physical attacks get you paralyzed

There's no way over that combination except for insane grinding, even with my Sandile...

DEAD SPACE 2 MOTHER F**CKERS!!!
(yes the caps are necessary)

@bloodlinejake
Oh and I need more friends =) Gamertag: bloodlinejake
I'm lonely =(

Say it with me now.....

http://www.damnit.org/2007-01/picard.wtf.is.this.shit.jpg/view

Most likely playing Minecraft and League of Legends until I can get my 3DS on Sunday. Maybe a little Wind Waker too.

Sweet Jesus not again! MY EYES!

I'll be playing SoulSilver, tying up loose ends before my copy of pokemon Black arrives!

Oh man, wife and kid are gone for the weekend so I took the weekend off to game it up. Just played Galaxy 2 for two hours, jumped on Reach for a bit, switched over to DA2, and I'll hopefully start Enslaved tomorrow. Then it's the 3DS on Sunday. Only a truly amazing wife would make an excuse to visit her parents this particular weekend.

Waiting for Sunday to get my 3DS!!! YAY!!

@ArchiGamer

Same boat as you. Knocking out all my Illustator / C++ / Access homework Saturday so Sunday can be dedicated to making sweet sweet gaming to my 3DS (getting Pilotwings Resort)

err, WITH my 3DS. *cough*

Onyx or Blue?

Is it weird that all I notice in that picture is that they both us the same side of their faces instead of swapping?

Ghost Trick: tricking Ghosts and droppin naughty chandeliers .

playing RE3 i know you've had 8 years to beat is well i have a long and i mean long backlist of gaming to do.

I have been playing the hell out of Deadly Premonition. I love this game so much. Hopefully others are with me

@HybridPara

I wish I would've done more of the side quests and other stuff around town. I just threw it on easy so I didn't have to battle with the gameplay, and then I just blasted straight through it. Loved it, one of the more memorable experiences I've had with a game in ages.

@MarkezJM
I'm thinking I might have to adjust the difficulty because I keep getting stuck at frustrating parts, but I'm still in love with it. I love the fact that I can just reload past chapters to do side missions and it won't impede my progress.

THREE DEE ESS!!!

YOU GUYS SUCK YOUR PHOTOSHOPS ARE TERRIBLE BLARGH

Umm, playing pokemon black and wow, which means somewhere, bob ball is reading this comment and immediately falling asleep.

I should likely keep studying once I get home, but I have a hankering to settle in and finish Uncharted 2. Then it'll likely be time for one more episode of The Wire and then time to hit the rack. Season 5, great stuff.

Man, now that I think about it I'm tempted to throw The Darkness just to screw around and see what extra achievements I can nab... Definitely my favorite FPS of this gen.

Killzone 3, Killzone 3, Killzone 3.

Just finished FFVII: Crisis Core for the first time and moved on (back?) to FFVII proper. Interesting to replay the game with CC fresh in my mind.

And here's hoping Dirge of Cerberus doesn't suck as much as I hear it does because that's also on the menu for later on.

@GewurztraminerX

You sound like you're at where I was about a year ago. Played through Crisis Core (loved that game, story was amazing and kinda made Cloud pale in comparison to Zack). Then played Dirge of Cerberus, then just replayed FF7 on my PSP a few months ago. Game is as timeless as ever.

Dirge of Cerberus has some good to it...
-Great ending sequence / chapters
-Interesting world lore introduced right with the begining
-Fun Characters
But it also has some bad to it...
-Pacing sucks horrendously. You will go from a set of fun action stages to roaming and being lost to a 20 minute cutscene of people talking
-Story kind of messes with the established lore of FF7 w/Hojo, Lucrecia, and the other doctor.

Overall glad I played Dirge, but I don't see myself replaying it ever. Once was enough.

Im playing Tomb Raider Trilogy and it rules. I feel bad that I never played a TR before.

i'm playing Pokemon White. working on all the endgame stuff now. i'll probably run through Killzone 3 with the Sharpshooter again or finish that turd Epic Mickey when i get done with White.

It would even be scarier to do a photoshop merge of Reggie and Bobby Kotick...

*shiver*

My new friend from college let me borrow his DS on a whim with the promise that I unlock the OX armor in MegaMan ZX (As well as MM Zero 3, which is needed to unlock it). Sadly, it looks like I can't keep that promise. I spent the last few days playing/beating Ghost Trick, and now the alure of 999 is calling me from its shrink wrap.

That said, Ghost Trick had one hell of a good story. A an amazing ending to boot. Hope my friend understands.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 still has my addiction for the longest time.

Playing Heroes of Newerth with my bro and Dissidia Duodecim. wohooo!!! My weekend is full already. haha.

"Randy Nelson (@DangerPenguin): Loads and loads of Shift 2 Unleashed..."

I ENVY YOU!

I just bought Pokemon white, and I know my soul will be sucked away for a while. Which is a shame because I just got Dissidia 012 (which is AWESOME!). I guess Killzone 3, Dead Space 2, LBP2, Crysis 2, GT5 and Minecraft will be put on the back burner for a while...

Crysis 2: Singleplayer and Multiplayer! Also possibly some Minecraft while listening to the Joystiq podcast. And otherwise I think my weekend should be pretty full.

Oh just playing BFBC2 and Raiden 4

I'll be playing through Splinter Cell Conviction for the 2nd time, maybe some House of the Dead: Overkill and 3DS tomorrow with (possibly) PilotWings!!

@Xupmatoih

I picked up Splinter Cell Conviction for $8 from a sale at BlockBuster and haven't played it at all yet. That fun to be worth a second playthrough already?

@Punkrawk Bbob

It is really fun. It's like a spiritual successor to Arkham Asylum starring Jack Bauer.

@A Sandwich

Wow, that description alone has me sold. I will have to boot that up as my next console game.

Shooting for Platinum in NFS Hot Pursuit. Also, playing my brand new save in Pokemon White.

Crysis 2 for 360 - gorgeous game

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP for iPad - one of the coolest graphical/audio/humor mixes I've played in a long time.

And I got Arcania Gothic 4 from Steam for $12.50, so that too!

Busy weekend

At work for most of the weekend so in my free time it will be iOSing; probably with Minotron 2112 (such a great take on Robotron), Tiny Wings, SF4 and my latest fave 64th Street: A Detective Story. A port of the Jaleco 1991 (think ?) arcade game, which was apparently on the SNES. A blatant Final Fight rip off but good fun none the less, even though the difficulty is ramped up a fair notch after the 2nd level and there are no continues, there are save points after you complete each level. I think it stands out slightly by being able to throw enemies into the background which is great if nothing for the comedic effect. Oh and if I find the time, more RDR multiplayer. Think Rockstar are doing a Triple XP this weekend.

Playing through Perfect Dark Zero on the 360 & I'm also playing Full House Poker on XBLA. I've done pretty well and I haven't needed to go to the in-game ATM at all. I'll try my luck during the weekend events that are going on.

I'll be getting the 3DS Sunday so SSFIV 3D for me and maybe some other games (I'm leaning towards Pilotwings Resort, Steel Diver or Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars as well).

Wife works all day so I'm going to start the day off watching 'Taken' so that the badassness of Liam Neeson rubs off on me then off to BF BC:2 online, Dead Space, and Dragon Age 2

I still have barely scratched the surface of Dragon Age: Awakening as I prepare to get DA2. Loving it so far, even though I haven't even physically left the first hub yet.

Will probably start up the last case of Phoenix Wright for iOS too if I do any travelling this weekend.
