It’s f**king hot.
For those of you who have never had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful Northwest, you may have visions of a place eternally clad in flannel, evergreen trees and grey skies. Oh, how I wish it were still so!
Apparently thatglobal warmingthing thatAl Gorehas his panties all in a bunch about has decided to attack me personally.
The current ambient temperature in Portland, Oregon is 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Mind you, it’s 3:04AM.
It was 105 degrees here earlier in the day.
I may not be a scientist, or even a college graduate, or even a person who can count properly without removing his shoes, but evenIknow that 105 is far too hot for humanity to properly survive. We’ll all end up in underground burrows fighting theMorlocks.
If only I had a giant penguin that I could slit open and crawl inside of …
These people played games. I’m too sticky to care. Maybe you do.
Leigh Alexander:Actually, trying to beat the God Challenges inGod of War,Odin Sphere,Puzzle Quest and (STILL)Twilight Princesswhen I can be bothered to sit down for a while (which is rarely). Also indie gameWithin a Deep Forest, andSnow Drop, a H-game.
Oh yeah, and we did just getRE4for Wii, so we’ll probably play that all weekend.
Nex:I finally broke down and, at the insistence of Mr. Linde, purchasedPac-Man Championship Edition. While I wish they would have let us play as Bison (or at least Vega) the inclusion of same-character versus matches is a huge draw.
Jim Sterling:Very little, Mr. Mushnik. Mostly too busy with Gamers for Gaming (check it the bloody hell out, people), but I’ve naturally found time to squeeze a little action in. Been trying to do someOblivion, though my Xbox worryingly was unable to read the disc like it had done with a now-unplayableN3. Aside from that, I’ve been playing through someEarth Defense Force 2017which I’m now taking with me to Gamestation to see if they’ll take it back – DO NOT WANT.
Colette Bennett:I have been playingPuzzle Questfor a record breaking 3 weeks straight. I need a new game. Also I think I need a life.Topher Cantler:I’ve been playingArt Department Organization Force 2007,Pac-Man CE,Business Card Maker 4, andForza 2.Grim:As far as 360 gaming in concerned, I’ve been playing the usualGears of War,Crackdown, andPac-Man CE. All the talk aboutResident Evil 4(Wii edition) has made me pull out the old Gamecube for some fun times. Oh, and I finally got a chance to playPsychonautsearlier this week on PC.
Gameboi:I’m still having fun withLegacy of Kain: Defiance, and I’ve dabbled a bit inKingdom Hearts II, as well asVectorman. I never tire of great games from the past.
I’m also suffering through a real life game calledthe water table is extremely low around here from a lack of rain, and spending too much time under the house priming a thirsty pump. Precious gaming money is about to slip from my grasp. Oh ye evil game of life! I rebuke you.Nick Chester:I’ve been out of town most of the week, so I’ve been mostly playingPlanet Puzzle League, since they won’t let me take my Xbox 360 on planes.
David Houghton:I’ve sadly had very little time for gaming this week with all the BBFC and Gamers For Gaimng stuff going on. I’ve put in a bit of time withMario Strikers(Broken record, I know),Mario Kart DSandN, but that’s about it.
Dick McVengeance:I’ve been playing little bits ofRed Steel, and someResident Evil 4for the GameCube. Considering I own it, and haven’t beaten it yet, I see no urge to buy the Wii version, despite the leg-humpings of a Mr. Aaron Linde. Also, I’ve been playing a bunch ofGURPS. I’ll give respect to anyone who knows what the hell that is.
Faith:Still trying to finishTouch Detectivebut wednesday night my DS died 3 minutes after I turned it on at work. I forgot to charge it, so I spend an hour playingBlock Breaker Deluxeon my cellphone. How boring.
I’m still playingTwilight Princessand I started playingRayman Raving Rabbids. I finally got my bunnies. DAHHHHHHH! runs by with plungerAaron Linde:I’m having a grand old time playing throughResident Evil 4for the 9th or 10th time on my Wii — slaughtering villagers with well-timed headshots and grenades and such simply never gets old. I’m digesting the last few hours ofCrushon the PSP andShadowrunfor forthcoming Destructoid reviews, and when that’s through, I’ve got a date withBaten Kaitoson the ‘Cube which I simply never got around to. That game is too damned pretty to be left unplayed.
Chad Concelmo:I am hopelessly addicted to the awesomeness that is my new favorite game,Pac-Man Championship Edition. I also finally beatRogue Galaxy(huzzah!) and am revisitingSuper Mario 64on the Virtual Console.
Dyson Grigsby:I’ve been playingthe fog is finally gone, so I can go outside again!, and Yes, I know about the RSS feed, stop asking. Between the time spent playing those two games, I’ve been playing a lot ofWii SportsandSuper Paper Mario. I gave up onOdin Sphere, not because it wasn’t good, but because it got repetitive reeeal quick.
Rev Anthony:I gave up onOdin Sphereas well, for the same reasons Dyson mentioned. Other than that, I’ve been playing a lot ofUrban Dead, some ofThe Specialists, and I’m using theHL2 Zombie Mastermod to pass the time untilLeft 4 Deadcomes out. Speaking of which, when the hell isLeft 4 Deadcoming out?
What have you kids been playing this week? If any of you say “in the sprinkler”, I’m stabbing your face off.
