William Abner: Getting pissed at the listless AI in Blood Bowl, and teaching some other net friends how to play the game.

Paul Semel:

I'm really, really hoping I can finish Call of Duty: World at War on Veteran this weekend so I can start in on Indiana Jones. Either way, I'll still be playing WAW online (trying to get to level 65) as well as Castle Wolfenstein.

Troy Goodfellow:

Blood Bowl for me. I'm still learning a lot about the game, so I'm not as annoyed by the AI as Bill is. It's a very good adaptation and a thrilling multiplayer experience. Plus, I killed a dwarf.

Ryan Kuo:

I just found Dogmeat in Fallout 3 so I'll be breathlessly running around the Wasteland with him at my side. We'll blow heads off, rob corpses, disarm mines. It'll be great.

Also, some iFighter on my new iPod, which is better than the DS and PSP when it's done right.

Marc Saltzman:

Given that this weekend is our annual birthday bash for our three little 'uns, my "gameplay" will likely consist of enforcing the jumping in the inflatable bouncy castle, running the cotton candy machine and overpaying some magician for lame tricks and phallic balloon animals.

Gus Mastrapa:

We're having people over on Saturday. There will be barbecue, swimming, drinking and Rock Band 2. I'm seriously considering printing up a list of songs that people can browse while waiting their turn. I've spent entirely too much money on DLC. I'm also playing Fallout 3. I'm only one Achievement away from earning all of the original 1,000 points. The only thing I have left to do is win 50 speech challenges.

Chris Buecheler:

If my furniture arrives at the new place before the weekend, I'll probably spend most of my weekend getting everything set up. If it DOESN'T arrive, I'll probably play Dead Space (which I haven't had time for the past couple of weeks), and I might sneak over the Crispy-Coder-Supreme CG-Gabe's house and play some Infamous on his PS3.

Steve Steinberg:

Here in Boston, it's been raining ever since it stopped snowing. I'll be celebrating my independence from foreign tyranny by playing Infamous.

Scott Jones:

Still attempting to polish off Infamous (I'm close... I think). I've also gone back to Punch-Out!! Just started my title-defense run through the game. Glass Joe and his headgear = a force to be reckoned with. No joke. I'm also playing through Super Mario Bros. 3 for a story I'm scribbling Uncle Crispy.

Kyle Orland:

Title Defense Mode is MASOCHISM man. Good luck.

The new Magic: The Gathering Xbox Live game has reawakened by collectible card game addiction. At least there's no option to purchase new digital cards... I don't think I'd be able to resist.

Also probably gonna try a bit more Knights in the Nightmare after playing an enjoyable hour for lunch this week. And the Rock Band will probably come out at a friend's BBQ. Here's hoping he doesn't hog the drums this time.

Harold Goldberg:

I'm dusting off Shawn White Snowboarding since Shawn is coming by the house to play the new game later in the month, and I better beat him (or put up a good fight). I'm back to some Killzone 2 multiplayer as I'm trying to figure out whether to put Hermen and his Amsterdam crew in the history book. I'm playing <!-- clear -->

Evan Narcisse:

Fight Night Round 4 has its hooks deep into me and it ain't letting go. I'll be trying out an upcoming superhero game for review. Expectations are low, but I'm open to being surprised. There might be some Overlord II in my weekend as well, since Jones and Teti have both been raving about it so much.

James Fudge:

I'm going to try my hand at a little Call of Juarez on the PC and even though it wasn't my choice, I'll probably buy StarTropics so I can run my mouth in the Crispy Adventurers Club forum thread. I still think Zelda II is a better game and greatly appreciated, but the point of the club is to try new experiences and talk about them.
