The Geekend Update – 2/15/15

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!


Lou Contaldi, Executive Editor:

After my Kick & Fennick review, it’s time to move onto another Vita game. Specifically htol#niQ: The Firefly Diary. I’m going in with zero (and I mean absolutely zero) expectations on what this game is, but needless to say I will be glued to Vita for the weekend!

 

Myles Farrington, Senior Editor:

This weekend will be spent with games of another kind. I’m talking about deck-building games. I’ve owned the DC Deck-Building Game for a while and my friends and I just picked up the Heroes Unite, Forever Evil and Batman vs Joker expansions. On top of that, we also got our hands on Naruto and Street Fighter games that work with the DC game. You read all that right, folks. There is indeed some hardcore geekage going on under this roof.

 

Brian Hoerst, Associate Editor:

Man, it was a long week of podcasts and I haven’t played anything in three days! It’s time to move on from Dying Light long enough to finish Uncharted 3, but then probably back to zombie slaying.

 

Jordan Loeffler, Associate Editor:

I’ll be shaving off years of my sentence in Freedom Wars, and getting my wife caught up on Game of Thrones. Valentine’s Day will be so romantic!

 

Lucy Pallent, Senior Writer:

My Majora’s Mask Limited Edition New 3DS XL hasn’t arrived yet-but my postal service is terrible so it should arrive soon. In the meantime I’ll probably be playing some more Shovel Knight  and finish off Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon.

 

Benjamin Luthi, Associate Writer:

My co-workers were kind of enough to share their colds with me this week, so I’ll be in bed, alternating between watching TV and playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Try not to be too jealous.

 

Jason Patrick, Associate Writer:

I finally got the damn Icebreaker, thanks to Xur selling it. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m talking Destiny! But yeah, this weekend I’ll probably play some Destiny, like I do everyday now. Other than that, I’m waiting for The Wolf Among Us for PS4 to arrive Gamefly. I previously owned it on PS3, but that thing died on me. And there was no chance in hell I was going to rebuy it, so my only choice was to rent. Speaking of renting, what the hell happened to Redbox offering current generations games (PS4, Xbox One, etc). Nowhere to be found out here in Chicago.

 

Matt Middleton, Associate Writer:

The other Matt (Southwell) doesn’t have anything on me. I just platinumed Shadow of the Colossus last Sunday and didn’t break a single controller (somehow). Now it’s back to Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and Dying Light. Also ready for The Order: 1886 next Friday!

 

Matt Southwell, Associate Writer:

I’m in full trophy hunter mode right now. Will be attempting to platinum LEGO Batman 3.
