There will be Halo, yes, but there will also be Orcs Must Die and Skyrim. What will you be playing?
Weekend Gaming
Winter has finally settled in around here in Central Ohio, so it’s perfect gaming weather. Unfortunately, it’s also birthday season around these parts so I haven’t had a ton of gaming time. But I’m hoping to get something in this weekend.
My time has been mostly spent in Skyrim. I’m nearing the 110 hour mark (gulp) and I’ve been enjoying this game thoroughly. I imagine my time will be spent this weekend playing that. I also started playing Orcs Must Die on my new laptop and have been grinning ear to ear as I watch my spring traps launch orcs into acid baths. This game is a riot. When I only have that moment or two available for a game, I’ve been absorbed with Puzzlejuice, Temple Run, TripleTown and Hero Academy on the iPhone. (I’m i_aint_yer_pa on Hero Academy if you want to play a game!)

Diablo 3 coming to consoles?
It sure looks like it, according to Bashiok, a Community Manager at Blizzard:
(Or whatever the “Diablo console project” may be)
I have mixed emotions about this.
Weekend Gaming
With hopefully a new pile of games (either from the holidays or the Steam Sale) hopefully everyone has something to play. Me? Probably just Skyrim. Boring, I know. I may play something new on Steam for a project I’m going to start, but for now all I’m comitting to is some more Skyrim.

January Releases
I missed December’s releases, but I don’t think we missed much. In fact, I missed all of December, blogging wise. The month didn’t start out good for me, with a trip to the ER that resulted in surgery and me learning that I am diabetic. So the first couple of weeks were quite an adjustment. Then the holidays happened, and blogging didn’t.
Oh yeah, and Skyrim. That put a decent damper on the blogging output as well.
So on to the new releases. Other than a couple big titles at the end of the month, there isn’t a whole lot coming out in January:
Week of January 30th
Far Cry 3
Final Fantasy XIII-2

Skyrim vs. WoW
Holiday Weekend Gaming
I had hoped to get in an abundance of Skyrim in this very long weekend, but as always, the Thanksgiving holidays have thwarted my gaming time yet again. I brought the Xbox with me to my parents house but it’s been difficult to play Skyrim in all its magnificent glory on my dad’s older HDTV. BUT I have discovered two joys. One is the joy of watching anyone (even my dad, who still types in ALL CAPS) play Just Dance 3 on the Wii. The Wii still “has it” if by “it” I mean bringing gamers and non-gamers together.
The second has been watching someone “get it” while playing Portal 2. That “aha” moment is great when it’s your first play through. It’s even better when you get to watch someone else.
So this weekend, so far, has been mostly watching other people play. But I’ll still have time tomorrow to get in some Skyrim. And then there’s Sunday, and Monday, and Tuesday and you get the idea.
