Chris Kemp<\/h3>\n

I’m baaaaack! My first proper weekend back in South Africa after two years, what will I play to celebrate?Well, probably not much at all.<\/p>\n

The weekend is going to be predictably hectic, with moving house, seeing family and sorting out various things, there isn’t much time for gaming. However when I do have a couple of spare hours to squeeze in, I think I’ll spend my time online getting sworn at by South Africans instead of Americans\/Asians.<\/p>\n

If someone swears at me in Afrikaans, I think I just might weep with joy.<\/p>\n

I’m going to finish Mass Effect 3 on Insanity difficulty. THIS IS A THING I AM GOING TO DO.<\/p>\n

I managed to get right up to the end of the third last campaign mission before being forced to dial it down to an easier difficulty just to get past [YOU KNOW, THAT BIT].<\/p>\n

But I can do it, I know I can, and if I have to break a thousand controllers to do it, I will.<\/p>\n

Quinton Bronkhorst<\/h3>\n

This weekend I’ve decided to call together the league of extraordinary gamermen for an urgent session of gaming that entails everything from table-top Chaos and Rockband, to Street Fighter and LANning Gears of War 3.<\/p>\n

If everything goes according to plan, we won’t run out of pizza, and won’t have to resort to eating each other.<\/p>\n

This weekend I’m continuing my thorough probing of the Mass Effect 3 universe for the upcoming MyGaming review. I’ve had a slightly less-than-perfect experience compared to those who’ve fallen prey to the Interwebs hype machine, so look out for my unbiased opinion soon.<\/p>\n

I’ve also become completely besotted with Kingdoms of Amalur and my meticulously-planned mage build, so I foresee some serious grinding taking up my time in between attempting to get Commander Shepard’s space rocks off.<\/p>\n

Nic Simmonds<\/h3>\n

This rainy Joburg weather really could not have come at a better time. This weekend I’ll be sinking countless hours into Mass Effect 3, partly because I’m really enjoying it so far, and partly because I really want to know why everyone is cryfacing about the ending.<\/p>\n

James Etherington-Smith<\/h3>\n

I received and intriguingly cryptic e-mail form Quinton, speaking of banishing Khaos from the world with a chainsaw\/machine-gun\/pizza slicer hyrbid weapon and the odd request to bring as many moist towelettes as I can lay hands on. Sounds like fun. I will also most certainly be slogging my way through Mass Effect 3 toward the supposedly disappointing end-game.<\/p>\n
