Yeah, this week is a total copout. I’m really damn lazy and have no creativity to speak of at the moment, so instead of a story about Glenn Danzig, you get clips from MTV’sThe State. Then again, since I have made a successful career of blatantly ripping off Michael Ian Black, it’s almost like you’re getting something directly from me!
Sorta …
Hit the jump for more.
(Editor’s Note: If you’re so inclined, you can also pick up the first season ofThe Stateon the Xbox LIVE Marketplace or the iTunes Music Store. MTV was kind enough to toss those episodes up there, but they’ve been utterly draconian about releasing any DVDs. God, please kill MTV. — Nex)
Alright, now we’ll get to what everyone’s been playing.
Nick Brutal:I had been playing throughGod of War IIwhen my PS2 stopped working; so what’s a boy to do? So …
I went out and got me one of those protein folding,God of War II-playing machines. Oh, it apparently plays Blu-Ray discs, too.
I also started playingShivering Isleson the 360, as well Earth Defense Force 2017 which, despite being one of the worst games ever, is totally fantastic. Figure that one out.
And despite my incessant whining aboutSymphony of the Nightcoming to Xbox Live Arcade, I have yet to even play the DEMO. Turns out, I actually own a copy for the PSX and the 200 achievement points aren’t worth $10 to me.
hushgush:Something made me want to playWe Love Katamarithe other day, and I’ve fallen in love with it all over again. Aside from that, I’m still playingRocket Slime(yes, it really is that fun,)TMNT Arcadeon Live, and I’m gonna take some laundry over to Nick’s house so his PS3 can fold it for me.
Nex:I beat 72 hour mode inDead Rising, and plowed through Overtime Mode … right up until I hit the real last boss (who I spent a week fighting). Having to fight a trained special forces officer in hand to hand combat after spending the entire game annhiliating zombies with shotguns, cars and baseball bats, is like slamming your dick in a car door. It hurts, you’ll have blood all over your testicles and when you finally beat it, you’ll probably be sterile.
Colette Bennett:Cooking MamaandTrauma Centerfor DS. The latter makes me want to claw my eyeballs out in frustration.
Ron Workman:Live Arcade like crazy. I just can’t help it. It is just way to easy to play games that are loaded on the hard drive. I have also playedCrackdown,The Outfit(Yeah I know right?), andCOD2as always. The guys at EG have got me really wanting to play the newC&Cgame and I can’t wait.
RevAnthony:I’m going to try and learn how to stop worrying and love the RTS genre by getting my hands onC&C3. If I can get through the entire campaign without switching to easy mode or consulting a strategy guide, I’ll be absolutely astonished.
Dick McVengeance:Alright, I’m just finishingLunar Knights. Screw getting all my weapons up to level 16 (which is ridiculous, mind you). I’m also determined to play through the entirety ofRed Steel— and make Necros suffer through it with me. Occasional races inExcite Truck, too.
Faith:I am so sick this week with a cold and lack of a voice. I’ve been sleeping alot and spending time getting my new car, since the last one is toast. Only game I’ve been playing isFinal Fantasy XII.
CyberneticTigerZ:Played throughMario & Luigi: Partners in Timefor the DS again. If you know me, then you know I HATE RPG games. Yet I can always play any of the Mario RPGs.
I’ve also started playing throughGod of War 2again. No point to it, I just want to make out with my weapons.
Robert Summa:Finally gotMotorstormfor the PS3 sent to me. And … it’s hawt! Loving it, no doubt. Also will get someC&Ctime this week so I can crush the EG guys.
Grim:My Xbox 360 is being shipped to me from a repair center, so the only games I’ve played this week areBanjo ToooieandElite Beat Agents. Luckily my 360 should be back by Tuesday — just in time forGuitar Hero II.
Niero:I’ve been playing Pinkslip.
That’s it. No mas. Fin. Now it’s your turn; what have you been playing?
