Weekend Warrior – Looking For Our Shadow
February is here, and Groundhog’s Day already came and went. Since the little critter couldn’t find his shadow, spring is apparently on its way, but here at the frigid GI headquarters we’re taking no chances. Safely nestled in the warmth of our homes, we’ll be blasting aliens in XCOM 2 and solving brain-teasers in The Witness all weekend, trapped in a loop of addictive gaming that would make Bill Murray proud.
Here’s what we’re playing this weekend. Let us know what you’ve got planned in the comments.
Ben Hanson (@yozetty) – This weekend I'm hoping to slow things down and get tactical with XCOM 2. I'll be streaming the game from my beefy computer in the living room to my crap-tastic laptop in my bedroom so I can have a more proper mouse and keyboard set up. I'm really looking forward to being obliterated by those ugly aliens. Other than that, I'll probably continue to mindlessly search for diamonds in Minecraft while listening to podcasts. It's a living. Have a good weekend!
Kyle Hilliard (@KyleMHilliard) – I am still having a great time with The Witness, so I hope to beat that this weekend. It's a game I would like to fully complete though, so I don't think I will be stopping even after seeing the credits. Otherwise I will be getting over a cold (or possible a sinus infection) by hanging out with the family and trying not to breathe in their general direction.
Luke Walaszek (@Urzashottub) – I’m pretty stoked about Fates coming out in a few weeks, so I’ve been playing Fire Emblem: Awakening pretty religiously for the past few days. I expect to have it finished this weekend. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish Jill’s campaign in the Resident Evil REmake on PS4, too. But before any of that, there’s a certain gun-toting witch calling me back to Smash 4…
Mike Futter (@futterish) – This weekend, I’m going to be playing some XCOM 2 (which means I’m going to be spending more time in the character creator). I’ll also be digging back into Just Cause 3 as I try not to spend my life savings on the Steam sale.
Tim Turi (@timturi) – I buckled and purchases a Shovel Knight amiibo not long ago, and was delighted to discover how much fun two-player co-op is after scanning the little guy onto my Wii U Gamepad. I’m looking forward to taking on the Sorceress once again, this time with a friend. I also plan on making a bigger dent in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, again with help from my amiibo friends.
Connor Trinske (@gwubba) – I finished Dragon’s Dogma again recently, so now it’s on to that new copy of Gravity Rush Remastered that I just picked up. If what I’ve heard over the years is any indication, I’m ready to experience an involving setting, unique art design and great music, all wrapped in malignant combat and a bad camera. I hope I don’t regret buying it by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck!
