What are you playing this Easter weekend?

7 April 2012

FOUR DAYS OF GAMING! Oh yeah, and chocolate eggs or whatever. And church. But mostly gaming. So what does a man with nothing but time play? Do I go themed? Jazz Jackrabbit? Don’t be ridiculous. I’m for certain going to ruin my Easter by playing games where people shout at me across the internet. To be honest I’m hoping the holiday spirit is going to crack through that hard, chocolatey exterior to the squishy marshmallow center (doubtful, but hey). When I need to play something one-handed ’cause the other is full of chocolate shaped like breakfast, I’ll be hitting up more Diablo 3 beta. Oh, I also have to go to a wedding on Sunday. On my gaming Sunday. Some people are so SELFISH!

I’m going to a farm this weekend, so in lieu of gaming I’ve decided to don my Elmer Fudd hat and go a-hunting. “Be vewy vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbits the Easter bunny.”

"Right men! That furry bastard has stolen my eggs for the last time!"

This weekend, I’m going to be celebrating this religious holiday break by playing Silent Hill, which, ironically, is all about the occult and an evil town and cultists trying to birth the anti-Christ. Luckily, thanks to the imminent chocolate overload, I’ll be able to calm my nerves with sugary goodness while creeping through the fog and darkness. If you don’t hear from me by Tuesday, assume I’m dead. If the scares don’t stop my heart – the sugar just might.

"Come closer and you'll tell me where the chocolate eggs are? Seems legit."

This Easter weekend I’ve decided to get blind drunk and hide my enormous pile of unplayed games around my garden. I’ll play whichever one I find first on Sunday morning.

This weekend I’m very eggsited to have the office’s PS Vita at my disposal as I’ve been choc-a-block with other things and haven’t gotten around to actually playing on one. I’ll also be playing the eggseptionally-acclaimed Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City. Damn, I’m lame. Was just trying to be bunny… I mean funny.
