This weekend I’ll be beating children with my fists. Not in the badass “my name is Tyler Durden” fashion, but in a decidedly more nerdy “I am a Khajit” Skyrim fashion. I’m trying to get through the whole game using only my fis- er, paws, but my character has an annoying habit of just kind of clawing at people’s faces in a remarkably unmanly manner.
Thus I’ll be taking out my latent feminine frustrations on any child that tries to stroke me, give me milk or even so much as looks at a ball of string. Damnit, is it too late to start over? I don’t even like cats (don’t tell Tarryn).

I’ll be playing the waiting game for Mass Effect 3 :<
In between, I’ll be playing my banjo because I’ve got a show in less than two weeks and I’ve not learned the songs properly yet and I don’t know why I’m even going to bother because I’m sure I’m going to mess it up anyway like that one time I bled all over my guitar onstage.
"Am I doing this right?" - Tarryn

I’m playing a new SHMRPG (Super Huge Multiplayer Role Playing Game) this weekend, its called Real Life™. In Real Life™ I have to go drop my car off to get a blockage in the aircon sorted, prepare a presentation on the work and views of Noam Chomsky, and prune back an overgrown bougainvillea that’s wreaking my Lapa’s thatch roof.
Also, Gran Turismo 5, if I can be bothered to set up my Playstation and racing chair again.

Some of you may have noticed that James has been absent for the past few weeks – well as of today that’s over, because he’ll be back in the saddle from Monday. That means I will finally be able to get some sleep! All this time I thought James just sat on the other side of the office browsing 4Chan – but as it turns out, he actually DOES work. I’m sorry I doubted you, James.
In terms of gaming, though, there’s little I can do while sitting in a bungalow somewhere; I’ll be AFK this weekend, but hopefully no one will see me sneak in a session of Beat Hazard on my iPad. But seriously – sleep.

I’m off to some remote location that I can’t pronounce this weekend for a friend’s wedding, so the games that I’ll be playing will not be virtual in nature. I should be back in time for a relaxed Sunday afternoon session, which will either consist of grinding my level 20 Sith Inquisitor through the world of The Old Republic, or shooting guys in the face in Battlefield 3.

I hit Kalahari’s recent 50% discount sale with a vengeance this week so I’ve got a weekend of Shadows of the Damned and Dungeon Siege 3 ahead of me. Based on MyGaming’s reviews I don’t expect either to be the pinnacle of gaming excellence, but they’ll both be satisfactory time-wasters while I squirrel away my pennies for March’s big releases.
I’m also somewhat besotted with Beat Sneak Bandit on iOS, a quirky little platformer that has you tapping in time with a rhythm in order to sneak past baddies and crack puzzles. It’s one of the freshest ideas I’ve seen in ages with some serious challenge to boot, though I place most of that blame on my shoddy reflexes and slight Attention Deficit oh look Angry Birds.
"Why is my Spirit animal SNooki?" - Dan; because you were the last to submit, Dan.
