    Let's see...

    Saturday: Girlfriend is going to the zoo with her friend, so I'm home alone. I'll probably split my time between organizing/cleaning the kitchen and living room (shut up), finishing and promptly restarting Metroid Prime 3 and finally finishing A Storm of Swords (MP3 and Rune Factory have hampered my reading progress significantly).

    Sunday: Beach.

    Monday: Beach, then an evening with coworkers doing things we'd get fired for (but we usually do them in the office anyway, because that's how we roll).

    Hopefully my copy of Metroid Prime 3 will get here from Gamefly tomorrow. Otherwise it'll be a weekend of WoW and MLB 2K7, which isn't so bad.

    Friday, Saturday: Finishing up Twilight Princess (I can't believe I've had it since launch and never finished it). Perhaps if the urge to start my 2nd playthrough of Bioshock comes to me in the middle of the day/night, I'll start on that. If it doesn't, I might cave in and buy/start Metroid Prime 3. My Wii needs some lovin'. I might also go play some Civ4.

    Sunday, Monday: Probably MORE of the previous, but I'd LIKE to start studying for the rest of the week around this point. What will happen, only time will tell.

    Oh - I forgot - tomorrow we're having my son's 3rd birthday party (a week early) at Chuck E Cheese - so I'm sure there will be some Skeeball and Whac a Mole in my gaming future as well. They also have the big arcade version of Hungry Hungry Hippos so I'll probably play some of that too. I'm thinking about grabbing him another Wii game for his birthday. He has Happy Feet now and loves it - despite the bad reviews - so I'm thinking about getting Cars Wii for him (hey, he shares a birthday with the Dreamcast, he might as well start gaming early!)

    We took my son there for the first time a couple months back. Sensory overload. Now a week does not go by that he does not ask to go there or Incredible Pizza.

    Bioshock and possibly NWN2.

    Also, I would love to be playing the 360 version of Two Worlds, but I'm not exactly hopeful that the lag problem will be fixed anytime soon, which sucks. I was really hoping I could get some voice-chat enabled Diablo-esqe goodness with my console-only buddies.

    (Regarding Two Worlds: For those of you thinking about getting the 360 version, hold off until it's fixed. Supposedly a patch is on the way, but I'll only beleive it when it happens.)

    Very much looking forward to the 3-day weekend. In addition to some steaks and maybe a movie, I'm planning on spending my time with Metroid 3, and possibly Dwarf Fortress, Fire Emblem (GBA), Paper Mario 64, Super Metroid, and who knows what else. I've got quite a backlog, and sometimes I just get the urge to play something else after playing one game for too long.

    Started a new game of FFVII a week or so ago so hopefully I'll finish that on Sunday. Then it's some CoX/Bioshock and then Metroid Prime 3.

    So I'm going over to my friend's place to watch the meteor shower at 4:37am PDT (you should too).

    While traveling there I'll mostly be playing the newly arrived Super Robot Wars W for the DS. I'll probably do a bit of Brain Age 2 every day as well, and maybe unlock more songs in Ouendan 2 or collect more cards for Sangokushi Taisen DS. *Maybe* watch my house get built in Rune Factory, but I'm a little bored of it right now.

    While there we may play a bit of Farkel or Castle or Ingenious Travel Edition while we wait for morning, these are all board/card/dice games.

    Once I'm back home and/or done moving, I'll probably be playing Guild Wars: Eye of the North

    Well I hate to say it but my labor day weekend is actually a labor day week, since I'm taking my first vacation in like...2 years. So me and my lady are doing the drive up the california coastline and terminating our trip in san francisco, and generally running amok up there.

    As for games? Probably going to FINALLY pick up RE:4 for my damned wii, and possibly Rune Factory for my DS. Besides that, I recently reinstalled Freedom Fighters onto my PC (damn you WIC for making me think of Red Dawn-esque games). Much shooting will be had by all.

    Oh, and seksy time game. Love that game.

    Skies of Arcadia: Legends should have come in the mail today and I've been wanting to play that like whoa. I'll probably dive into that, raid Kara on Sunday in WoW, and otherwise play some Killer 7, RE4: Wii Edition, Super Paper Mario, DoW... never finished Twilight Princess so I might as well do that. I want to pick up MP3 but I've got so much other crap on my plate that I have a hard time dropping the cash. Same for Bioshock.

    I know, what's wrong with me right?
    I'm not a huge FPS fan. They're alright.

    Bioshock, must be halfway through, totally awesome.

    Space Giraffe, fucking love it!

    I'll prolly be getting Streets of Rage 2, and the Bomberman expansion, and maybe Small Arms. Need to finish some Project Sylpheed achievements.
    Sooo glad I'm seeing just the one console at the mo. Fuck knows what I'll do when I get a Wii.

    And right now, I'm busy getting cheerily wrecked with some rock n' roll and alcomohols.

    However, on my normal days off, I've been playing Twilight Princess, and about to start Persona 3.
    Man, it's two pages late, but I've got an extension that you might be interested in :winky:

    My actual plans are to take my wife to the renaissance festival. It's not too nerdy, because I don't dress up and try to speak horribly mangled Middle English like the nerds who work there. However, my wife dresses up and wants me to do so as well. At least I'll have turkey legs and mead to comfort me.

    I will be most definitely trying to finish up Bioshock so I can start participating in those thread discussions - I am very proud of myself that I have been able to stay away thus far, but now I have a podcast I can't finish listening to (the latest GFW Radio) to add on top of that. So I's needs to finish that post-haste, yo. Other than that, I'll probably be checking out the Tabula Rasa beta (assuming it's still going?), probably throw down with some friends on GH2/80's, and the rest I'll leave to chance.

    If they're playing Bioshock in 360, it's actually better for them to finish it first than going after MP3 first.
    It feels very rought and crude to play Bioshock with the controller pad after playing with MP3's advanced setting.

    So if you have Bioshock for 360, definitely play that first than playing MP3.
