Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



Another weekend is fast approaching and we must be ready to embrace it with open hard drives! Because even though a brief daily session can often help get us through the week, it's the long weekend ones that pull us right into our favorite gameworlds, letting us absorb all the sweet gaming juices we need to recharge our batteries.

So which games are you using to fuel up this weekend?
Go on, share your Weekend Playlists with us. They can include single-player games, multiplayer games, console exclusives, anything - we are not judging. In fact, we are sharing too!


Looking for some inspiration, perhaps? The GOG.com releases of the week are a good start:

You can swing weapons heavy with the power of physics in <span class="bold">Exanima</span>
You can make shadows your dagger or your hiding place as <span class="bold">Shadwen</span>
You can go searching for you lost king in the procedurally-generated archipelago of <span class="bold">Overfall</span>
You can manage your drones as they sift through the remains of dead spaceships in <span class="bold">Duskers</span>
You can build robotic oddities that can survive the puzzles of <span class="bold">MechoEcho</span>
You can revisit the addictive FPS/RPG gameplay of <span class="bold">The Original Strife: Veteran Edition</span>
You can put on your <span class="bold">Two-Horned Helmet</span> and lead your Vikings to the <span class="bold">Valhalla Hills</span>
You can brave an alien planet to find <span class="bold">The Way</span> to eternal life
My gosh I would just love to sit and play one game for a few uninterrupted hours. Do not invest your previous years on gaming... and games in general. If you have well, don't have three children with very minute age gaps; don't study full-time approximating 12 hours/week per course according to University recommendations with 3 to 4 courses a semester.

So that's my weekend :)
Politics at Home.
Nethack then Tales of Maj'eyal to hammer home the advances rogue-likes have made.
ASCII graphics mode for both since I enjoy confusion/am not colorblind.
Some Painkiller and Uncharted

B0SC0: No disrespect, but I laughed my ass off at the green hair :D. Looks so much like a plant!

"I didn't choose the plant life, the plant life chose me" :D

Also, with the 3x3, do you find that helps for watering?
To hijack the conversation somewhat, planting cauliflowers, melons and pumpkins in a 3x3 setup (or larger for more chances) makes it possible for a giant crop to grow. Almost makes me not want to harvest it :)

I have never been able to pull that off! XD I have been to every wiki I can find and used every tip offered and nothing.
Today morning I have beaten Broken Sword 2.5: Baphomets Fluch. I'll probably play some Papers, Please or Path of Exile in the rest of the weekend.

My hair feels no disrespect! xD

Yep, it helps, I just stand in the middle and can reach all squares (except the one I'm standing on) to quickly water them. That's before I have sprinklers, of course.
I don't bother with the smallest kind of sprinklers though, I start putting sprinklers with the ones that water all 8 squares around them. And it takes me some time to get to that point because I don't like exploring the mine that much.

"No, I am not lost... I refuse to look at a map!" :D

Been trying my hardest to stay away from wikis and stuff as much as I can. I want to learn the harsh realities of farming through toil and strife, like my grandfather before me :D

I spent all of spring watering my plants myself, using up half my energy every day watering plants until I learned about sprinklers... Waited 11 days in Summer to get enough money from my crop rotations to spare on Iron and copper ore (and on the 14th day, I discovered the mine... -.-). With delight, I went to the blacksmith to buy the ores, to craft my bars and make my very own sprinkler, that (I believed based on the fact that the scarecrow has pretty good range) would cover 4x4 of my crops...

I crafted my sprinkler, placed it on my field after hoeing out some silly strawberry plant, and with a cheery heart and a twinkle in my eye, laid my head down on my soft pillow for the night.

Let's just say, they heard my 6.30 AM screams of rage at level 25 in the mine... -.-
Hi GOGers,
This weekend I am playing Stardew Valley!
GG gamers around the world!
Just finished X-Com, then started to mess around with my library. Tried The Last Door (crap!). Played some Strife, then tried Sanitarium for some time... Nothing was really hooking me.

I felt like the stereotypical lady looking to the wardrobe full of unused shoes... and then deciding that I need a new one. Looked to my wishlist, and then found the one: System Shock 2.

Two hours to make the thing work, fully mooded, and now looks great, gorgeous and scary. After finishing Amnesia I wanted some more FP horror, and this classic is the forefather of them. Even if not feeling so fragile and helpless, it have still a heavy atmosphere. Well, smashing/shooting some heads is always cool, too.
im downloading neverwinter nights 2 and playing it this weekend, because ive been wanting to play an rpg game that's new for me this year.

counter strike GO with 2 of my brothers.

im thinking of looking for my pool of radiance ruins of myth drannor cd's and installing them onto my spare win xp system. I think they have worked there before.

Kerbal space program OF COURSE :) those cute kerbals , Im really happy when I return them safely to Kerbin.

Empire Earth , art of conquest with my wife , we love to kill computer players and we are quite good at it as a team.
Large islands or sometimes plains maps are our favorites.

those are just a few of my favorite games.

Just a little Crystal Caves...of course I forgot about the Episode 3 bug and ended up stuck.
Dragon Age 1 and Starpoint Gemini 2.
Doom, and Doom II on zandronum

KSP, and Shadowgate!
