The Geekend Update: 1/3/15

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!


Courtney Osborn, Founder & Editor in Chief:

So, I have a funny story. Do you remember all of those times on the MONG Podcast when I said that I would never play Minecraft?  Yeah, me too.  And do you remember all of the times I explained why?  As you’ve probably guessed by now, I started playing Minecraft this week, and I am absolutely addicted to it.  I started building a random castle in the sky with a few friends and I can’t stop going back to add more to it.  It has become an obsession that has taken over my gaming life.  Here I was, wanting to beat Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix HD this week, but nooooo.  Anyways, I’ve been livestreaming every time I play so you might catch me on during the evenings at http://www.twitch.tv/osborn2009.  Here are a few pics of some of the progress we have made on the castle.  

 

Jesse Webster, Senior Writer:

I think I’m just going to play Persona 4. I would like to play Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne or Digital Devil Saga Complete, but I need Persona 4 out of my system first.

 

Adam Leonard, Associate Writer:

I’m still pushing my way through Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, so I’ll be definitely focusing on that. I will likely also be playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, and perhaps even start Wasteland 2.

 

Benjamin Luthi, Associate Writer:

I got a nice pile of games for Christmas, so I’ll be trying out a few of them, starting with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

 

Jake Dekker, Associate Writer:

I think I’m going to Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor over the weekend.  I got it when it first came out, but I didn’t really care much for it.  Considering all the praise it has gotten this year I don’t think I gave it a fair chance.

 

Landon Luthi, Associate Writer:

I have been partaking in the holiday event for Grand Theft Auto V, and am saddened that a lot of people were not able to do so on the PS4 and XB1.  I am going to continue my weekend with a plethora of Left 4 Dead 2 for PC, Arma 2 for PC, and Pokemon: Alpha Sapphire.  I recently discovered a Survival mode fan-made add-on for Left 4 Dead 2 called ‘Helm’s Deep’, and it is exactly what you think it is.  If you have Left 4 Dead 2 for PC, I would recommend checking it out.

 

Lucy Pallent, Associate Writer:

I’m currently replaying Shovel Knight so that will be taking up most of my time. However, because I have coursework to finish for Monday I’m not quite sure how long I’ll get to play.

 

Riley Berry, Associate Writer:

I have been working my way through my games I recieved for Christmas this week, and the only two I have left are Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair and Wolfenstein: The New Order. I have loved what I have played so far of both games.

 

Ryan Amirault, Associate Writer:

My updates are becoming very repetitive because this week all I have to say is that I’ll be playing more Destiny. That game has had be hooked since it’s release and it won’t let go. I am sure I’ll get in some GTA5 time as well, I am loving it. I also am plugging away at Resogun on Vita to get another platinum, though it’s harder on the small screen so it’ll be a tough challenge I think. Enjoy the first weekend of 2015 everyone! MONG! )
