I spent all of last weekend at the beach catching a tan<\/span> having my flesh brutally molested by the sun’s harmful rays, but this long weekend I’ll be keeping well out of harm’s way. I plan on finishing off Portal 2 and maybe trying out some of the co-op, and after watching a video feature of Mount and Blade<\/a> (investigation was promopted by the fact that the game is currently $6 on Steam), I’m just itching to give it a try.

James Etherington-Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n

James is on holiday at the coast, and as such I assume he will be harvesting free radicals at the beach. Either that or playing Portal 2, which according to his recent Steam activity, he is enjoying rather immensely.<\/p>\n

Tarryn van der Byl <\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m hanging it old skool this weekend. I’ll be staying in bed, eating bacon sandwiches, and (re)reading China Miéville’s The Scar.<\/p>\n

Dan Parmenter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dan has a full time job in advertising and is known to occasionally sleep at the office so that he can finish writing adverts like this one<\/a>. In an earlier email I asked him to submit his blurb for our “what we’re playing this weekend” feature if he is not away on holiday, to which is replied “What the **** is a holiday?” That was the last I heard from him.<\/p>\n

Chris Kemp <\/strong><\/p>\n

This weekend my parents are coming to visit from afar, so the gaming is going to have to take a backseat as I give the folks the grand tour of Seoul. However, I am hoping to con my Dad into attempting to play “one of those walking gun games”.<\/p>\n

I’ll be away from my beloved gaming devices most of the weekend, however on Sunday night when everyone is soundly asleep, I may be stifling my disturbing giggles while air-stomping Tarryn van der Byl in Crysis 2 (consider the gauntlet thrown down!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
