The Weekend Playlist 2-18-2011

[CeeKay]

The plan has worked.  After luring PR_GMR out of the Weekend Playlist offices with the ruse of a kidnapped groundhog the accounting staff has joined me in an uprising and we have taken over,  Now we shall roam the internetz plundering and pillaging our filthy little hearts out.  so, ahem....  arrrr mateys, I be playin' a chest full of Two Worlds 2 this weekend, so says I, so it be.  What be ye scurvilous landlubbers be playing this weekend?

with great regards,

[metallicorphan]

Scribble awaaaaaaay,but manage the boooks



still playing through Assassins Creed Brotherhood,which got a little worse with sequence 5(The Banker)yesterday..always do this without being detected..and i am still a bit miffed that the whole map doesn't open up until sequence 8...i wanna do my viewpoints

[Gratch]

I fully anticipate that Tactics Ogre will be consuming my gaming life.

[Jarrodhk]

Probably lots of Medal of Honor MP. Will check out the new episode in STO, may play some zombies or MP Black Ops, possibly return to Disgaea 2 again to hunt more pirate maps.

Forgot playing Bad Company 2 again. Good objective based gaming again.

[Soulchilde]

Two Worlds on the PC.   

[Isgrimnur]

I'm haven't been back to BlOps in a while, so it's on the bubble, despite buying the DLC. I may give it a run to see if it's still worth hanging on to.

I need to make myself get back into WoW and level my 70 rogue, since everyone has bailed from the servers my lower characters are on.

Just Cause 2 has aggravated me with my inability to find the last two vehicles, but there's still plenty to blow up.

And I really need to do something about Saboteur that I have on rental and haven't touched in four months.

[leo8877]

Gonna be tough to fit some game time in this weekend.  I have the Sly Collection and Dante's Inferno on rental.  May play some more of my New Game+ in Dead Space 2 as well.

(PR_GMR manages to send out a video message:)

Please help me!! Ceekay's callous, malevolent thugs are holding me at an undisclosed location outside San Francisco! I'm all tied and I'm only being fed cabbage. UGH! Please send someone, anyone!!

(and then, a Gremlin--yes, from the movie--steps in front of
the camera and says 'Enough!!')

....

Well, I'm actually outside San Francisco visiting my sister and family. Brought my DS so what
little time I'll spend gaming (This is my first time in San Francisco!) I'll play some Dragon Warrior IX or just assorted Wii games with my nephews and niece.

Bad week for a visit, it's crap weather   Last couple weeks have been warm and sunny.

[PR_GMR]

To Leo: Yeah,weather's crappy! But I'm here now, so damn it! I'm going to walk the Golden Gate bridge tomorrow!

[Kagath]

Hopefully, in no particular order:

Mass Effect - 360 - Near the last major push. Should be able to finish it up this weekend without too much effort.
BlOps - 360 - Near the end of this prestige. Been doing crappy all the way through it so hopefully can reach the 10th and begin anew.
Fallout 3 - PC - Heading back to GNR after recovering doggy dishes.

[Nonnahob]

Singularity - really enjoying the campaign here.
Borderlands - If I can talk some people into firing it up for some co-op action.

Blops... if all else fails. It's on the docket for trade in. I've got 7 days until it must be shipped. My fun factor with it has dropped to near zero, so it's time. I think the next game I play I'll hit prestige 11, but my motivation to do all 15 has disapeered.

[mytocles]

Two Worlds 2.

Two Worlds 2.

The game isn't perfect;  if they'd fixed a few glitches and had a better first hour (or 3 for me), it would be at least an 8/10 imo - and I'll be playing it this weekend 8 out of every 10 hours.  Sunday is a bachelorette day for me too, wheee!   

 

[msteelers]

Mass Effect 2 and maybe a little Dragon Age: Awakenings.

[whiteboyskim]

Planning on finishing off Enslaved and working through a couple of reviews. Might work in something else but I'm not sure what. I'm not anxious to start up a new game right now for some reason.

[Teggy]

I need to try and finish off Dark Sector. I would like to play some more Far Cry 2. I should play Dragon Age. I haven't been feeling great though, so I have a feeling I am going to want to stay upstairs (Wii and PC only), meaning I will open up Metroid: Other M or something. Perhaps I will get back to my KOTOR playthrough.

[pingwrx]

Just picked up Marvel vs Capcom 3 maybe some Blops.

[Big Jake]

Wow
Dead Space 2

[disarm]

Bayonetta...planning to finish the last couple chapters of my first run through this awesome game.  once that's done, i'm not sure what i'll be playing next...

[msteelers]

Mass Effect 2 and maybe a little Dragon Age: Awakenings.

Change of plans. I just picked up Civ V off of Steam thanks to their 40% off sale. 

[Azhag]

Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions (360) - about 4 levels in and having fun so far
Valkyria Chronicles 2 (psp) - going to start this weekend
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness (psp) - This title is long, but awesomely addictive

[Creepy_Smell]

ghostbusters (pc)...2 more levels!! <finished!>
silent hill origins (psp)

EDIT: Started Cryostasis since I finished GB.

[PR_GMR]

Got to sample 'Metroid: Other M' on my nephews' Wii this morning. Fun game, but the camera changes are a bit jarring. And damn, is the story too Emo or what?! 

[whiteboyskim]

Just Cause 2 has aggravated me with my inability to find the last two vehicles, but there's still plenty to blow up.

If you haven't already, the vehicles you can order via the black market work for this requirement. If you've snagged any of the DLC in this respect, that'll put you over the top.

[Isgrimnur]

I had ordered all the vehicles from the black market that I needed.  I had to find some farm tractor and a bus that apparently only exist in one location, and sporadically at that.  Last night, I started at the tractor location, blew up about three of them to get them to respawn, and finally got the one I needed.  I extracted to the other location, and the bus was waiting for me when I hit the silk.  Steam achievement unlocked!

so you got your nice shiny award that no one will ever see?

[Caine]

planned on playing two worlds 2 and continuing on with the sp of singularity.  that one has grown on me too, it starts off kind of dull, action wise but soon gets so much better with the TMD.  it really has a bioshock feel with the weapon upgrades, even if you don't have free run over the island like you do for most of bioshock.  plus the weapons feel nice and weighty and the firefights are fun.  

also picked up civ v as $20 is a killer deal and less than what i paid for civ iv by a long shot.  looking to give that a whirl later even though i know how addicting it can be.

i also installed the copy of tex murphy Pandora Directive via GoG and am anxious to try it out soon.  

sadly, i haven't had much time so far except some kinect games with visiting family and friends and i have the joy of working on monday so no fun three day weekend for me.

i wouldn't expect to see that either, considering who posted it...

[Kagath]

Just finished Mass Effect. Just as epic the second time as it was the first time I did it.

[PeteRock]

I didn't post any weekend gaming plan as I never really stick to one, that is if I even find any time to play whatsoever.  This weekend I played a fair bit of NFS:Hot Pursuit, but I also got into an impromptu session of Black Ops with the old crew and had a blast.  A lot of humor, plenty of laughing, the usual gripes, but a good time overall.  Went to see the Body Worlds exhibit at the Arizona Science Center yesterday.  What a fucking zoo.   

[CeeKay]

Played a whole lot of Two Worlds 2 plus I fired up Eufloria to check it out.

Good gaming on Saturday night. Other then the usual lag issues, was pretty fun. Thanks for bugging me to play.

I finished up Singularity this weekend and played quite a bit of General Knoxx's Armory in Borderlands.

[mytocles]

I stuck to my weekend game plans, and will be playing Two Words 2 again today - doesn't Monday count on a 3-day holiday weekend?  Well, for those of us who have American Presidents anyway... now don't be jealous you Brits - after all, we don't have Boxing Day.

is the day after Christmas day still considered a holiday though for you guys?...anyway we have Pancake Day which we have nicely renamed Shrove Tuesday(or vice versa i should say) coming up in March ..PANCAKES!!!....saying that though i don't think people take the day off work for that one

this weekend i played AssCreedBro as said,i also tried the trial for Back To The Future on my US PSN account(not available in UK yet),and also downloaded the Two Worlds 1 demo to get me into gear for TW2...it was so-so,hopefully TW2 is better

[Gratch]

Nearly 14 hours of Tactics Ogre this weekend.  Whew!   

[msteelers]

I'll post about how much Civ V I played this weekend... right after this next turn...

[Purge]

Finished PvZ on the iPhone.

You know, I've been out of the "work force" for long enough to have no answer for the Christmas question.  I think the day after Christmas was never an official holiday, but people would take it off and sometimes be given it off -  I don't remember though.  Now, pancakes, that is an entirely different matter, lol - I'd be IN! for those.

As for TW2, I emailed you about my final thoughts, and now that you've found out that the release is being postponed in the UK - yet again - I doubt you'll be wanting to get into gear for it, ever.

Re: my weekend play - it went as planned, it was all TW2... until it was over, for me at least - so next weekend's playlist will be Fallout: New Vegas, which I put off to play TW2 - and my weekend starts tonight!
