I might cosider going to the bathroom, but even then, these incontinence diapers I got last Christmas are really doing a good enough job, so I&#8217;ll likely forego bathroom breaks too. I&#8217;ve also started putting my food into a blender and liquidizing it &#8211; drinking is more efficient, and that way I can maximize my gaming time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/uncharted_3_art_1_219839887.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"340\" height=\"191\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Derrick Cramer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, Battlefield 3, that game I was supposed to spend the entirety of last weekend playing&#8230; Yeah that didn&rsquo;t happen. Not having touched it for over a week has become too much, so I&rsquo;ll be locking myself in a room with Battlefield 3, along with piles of biltong and canned Cream Soda.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Battlefield_3_review_screenshot_11_366520709.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tarryn van der Byl<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be a megamix of Battlefield 3 and the new Gears of War 3 DLC, with a bit of Batman: Arkham City in between. That&#8217;s the plan, anyway &#8211; I might just sleep all weekend instead. My Magic 8-Ball says &#8220;YES&#8221;, but I&#8217;m not quite sure which of those options it&#8217;s referring to.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Batman_Arkham_City_Screenshot__11__672652571.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"598\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nic Simmonds <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Annoying IRL commitments will be keeping my precious gaming time  strapped thin this weekend. Between two birthday parties and a braai,  I&rsquo;m going to do my best to play as much of Battlefield 3&rsquo;s multiplayer  component as possible so that I can finish up my review for early next  week.
