The Geekend Update: 12/12/14

Weekends are meant strictly for gaming; at least that’s what we think. Here is where you can find out all of our crazy plans for the upcoming weekend!

Also, a huge thanks to one of our kickass writers, Ryan Amirault, for designing the awesome new graphic used above! 


Courtney Osborn, Founder & Editor in Chief:

Unfortunately, I won’t be playing much of anything this weekend.  Next week is Finals Week so I will be studying and writing essays.  Yay me.  Only five days until Winter Break.  

 

Lou Contaldi, Executive Editor:

Ditto what Courtney said — besides the occasional round of Smash to blow off stress, don’t expect me to be around any home consoles.

 

Shawn Richards, Senior Editor

I will be catching up on the Ubisoft powerhouses of Watch_Dogs and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. I mean, when my television isn’t being filled with good movies. I wanted to play these games and with finals over with, I can finally sit back and relax. And by relaxing, I mean hacking the shit out of Chicago and pirating away. Wait….

 

Jesse Webster, Senior Writer:

Persona Q. That game is LONG and not in the best way. For the past few days, I’m thinking that I’m about to beat it and it keeps going. I don’t know when I’m going to beat it.

 

Aaron Dobbe, Associate Writer:

Gonna be slugging my way through Persona Q, a game that’s difficult to make a lot of progress in. When I feel like taking a break, I’ll probably get in a few matches of Super Smash Bros. vs. my new friends (aka my collection of Amiibo), or keep trophy hunting in The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth or Project Diva F 2nd.

 

Adam Leonard, Associate Writer:

I’ll be working on the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy for an upcoming review. Also Dragon Age: Inquisition, more Dragon Age: Inquisition….

 

Audrey Lips, Associate Writer:

Like many others, I’ll just be studying for finals sadly. Although, my review for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 will be coming out then as well so I’ll be finishing up extras with that game a bit.

 

Benjamin Luthi, Associate Writer:

Sadly, most of this weekend will be spent studying. While I should be studying for my exam, I’ll probably end up studying the best way to beat people at Smash Bros. So far, I’ve discovered that the player with the most points at the end of a match tends to win. More data is needed to form a solid conclusion.

 

Lucy Pallent, Associate Writer:

Mock week is now over! WOOOOO! So I’ll be able to play some games again. Final Fantasy IV will be making a new appearance and Super Smash Bros.

 

Riley Berry, Associate Writer:

My last few weekends have been spent on Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition and Persona Q. This weekend will be no different. I have finished the main story for Sleeping Dogs, but I am now playing the DLC and maybe going for the platinum trophy.

 

Ryan Amirault, Associate Writer:

DESTINY!!! The new expansion won’t play itself so that is mostly what I’ll be doing this weekend. I also will be playing some Far Cry 4 as I strive for the platinum. I have an NHL15 league game as well to play (I am 3-0-0 yay!). Driveclub will be there as well for when I am looking to break things up. I hope you all have a great weekend of gaming!

 

Tyler Bartlemus, Associate Writer:

This week I finally finished my first semester at college! So I will be playing several games in celebration of Winter Break. I will be mainly trying to complete my playthrough of Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In between long stretches of time however, I am sure I will get in some Destiny or Halo when I can.


What games are you playing this weekend?
