We’re there, finally: The weekend! Huzzah, and thank fuck for that because this week was brutal, and it just felt like I was getting pummelled by an End of Level Boss over and over and over again. In real life there’s no cheat codes either, but I’ve ridden it out and have been rewarded with a Weekend Power-Up for my troubles. Unfortunately, this weekend won’t feature much game-playing time for me, but hopefully you guys will have more luck.
So, what are you playing this weekend? Are you using your two days of freedom to start something new, or are you plodding on with a big old RPG that’s got you hooked? Have you suddenly been gripped by some gaming nostalgia that’s got you returning to a stone-cold favourite? If you’re a blogger, are you using your downtime to get some posts done, or finally get a particular review written up? Is there anything you’d like to ask your potential audience?
Whatever your answer, let us know how your Gaming-related weekend’s shaping up. The Weekend Gaming Doodah is your space to talk all things gaming/blogging, so feel free to do just that. Last week’s WGD was pretty successful and there were some pretty cool comments and conversations a-happening, which was all different kinds of freakin’ cool, so don’t be shy – jump right in!
The floor is yours….

As I mentioned, I’m unlikely to get much Gaming done this weekend, but if I do manage to find a bit of spare time, it’ll likely be spent hoovering up collectables and stuff in Lego Jurassic World. On blogging, I’ve just finished a mahoosive post about what makes a Game a Game, and even though I spent three days writing it, it still doesn’t make much sense – but if you’re interested anyway (I sold it so well, eh!?), I’d appreciate other people’s thoughts.
My other little cheeky request is for Gaming(/Geek) Blog Recommendations. My Monday Morning Posts are fun to do, but I’m currently drawing from a fairly small pool, and I’m pretty sure most of my readers have already read most of the stuff I link to, so if you know of any cool places, I’d appreciate a little nod in their general direction.
Cheers in advance, and have a great weekend folks!

I managed to finish off JC3 last weekend, and I finally put a stake into The Witness, so I was looking to start something new this week. I idiotically overreached, though, and bought Twilight Princess HD, Stardew Valley, and The Division. I had no interest in playing The Division until some coworkers were talking about it.
I also really want to get a few blog posts finished or at least started this weekend. I’m afraid I completely shirked posting anything last weekend. I want to get to where I’m posting ~6 posts a month, but sometimes I feel work just leaves me with too little energy. I have also set aside several hours on Sunday to try to finish your latest giant post!

“I have also set aside several hours on Sunday to try to finish your latest giant post!”
It’s not that long, you cheeky little bugger! 😉
But seriously, if you’ve got other stuff to be doing, don’t even bother with it. It’s basically just me thinking out loud for waaaay too long and getting nowhere. I was hoping I’d perhaps be able to incorporate some feedback into a rewritten (more coherent) piece at some point, but realise it’s asking a lot of people to read through it as is.
I know what you mean about the blogging stuff, though, and part of the reason this piece is so rubbish is that I was exhausted, but felt like I had to do *something* anyway. It’s hard to find that sweet spot of content/quality when you’ve got other stuff going on, or you’re just too tired, or whatever.
On the games, if you do play any of The Division, I’d be interested to hear what you think of it. It was one of the games I was looking forward to, but I don’t think I’m going to get around to it for a while.

I actually don’t really think its that long of a post, but you mentioned it in your comment so I thought I’d pile on. But I started reading it on my phone at work when I had like a few minutes left of my lunch break, and then quickly realized there’d be no way to finish it, and reading blog posts on a phone makes a lot of things look really long since it scrolls much longer.

Yeah, I was just messin’ – I figured you were (mostly) joking. It is long though, so it’s a fair comment. You know, if I’m being honest! 😉
