Our Weekend in Gaming - Robots on Mars Edition
While humanity sent a robot the size of a jeep to Mars this week, most of our gaming feats look pale in comparison. Sure some of us are finally wrapping up some backlog titles, but....we put a giant friggin robot on Mars. Luckily you can too with the free Xbox 360 game where you do the same. None of us are playing that though.
Also - this is your weekly reminder to download (rate and purchase too) SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance on Xbox Live Indie Games. Do it...because if you don't, alien babies will die a cruel death.
Nick "bapenguin" Puleo(@NickPuleo) - "I've said it for the past few weeks, but it looks like I'm at the ending for Mass Effect 3. So that's what I'll be doing."
Andrew "Cubninja" Gaskill (@cubninja) - "I plan on finally completing Diablo 3 on Normal, then never playing it again. Then I'll try to last longer than four minutes in Modern Warfare 3's Chaos mode. Finally, the wife and I will continue our latest trek through Borderlands."
Mike "Pheriannath" Katsufrakis(@Pheriannath)-"I'll be working on taking my fighting game skills online in Persona 4 Arena. It's a game that shouldn't exist at all, but it's magnificent."
Marc "DjinniMan" Allie(@DjinniMan)-"After over a year of failure, my son and I will continue our quest to get past level 5-3 in Lost Planet 2. Even on Easy, it's rough. Or maybe we just suck."
Jason "OrigamiPanther" Love(@JLove55)- "I'll be playing some more The Secret World and A Virus Named TOM as I attempt to dethrone as many of the game dev's high scores as possible."
Paul "EastX" Acevedo(@SegaCon)- "I'll be enjoyingDust: An Elysian Tale, the best game in this year's Summer of Arcade lineup, as well asKung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise,LEGO Batman 2, andBejeweled 3."
Eric "smurphster" Murphy(@smurph_em)- "I'm helping my wife shoot a wedding tomorrow, so no gaming, but there is co-op involved! On Sunday, Tally and I are playing some Left 4 Dead 2 (PC), which you'll hear about in next week's TWIC."
Sam "Samoza" Tyler(@reelsamtyler)- Is lost in the Olympic Crowds
Locke Vincent(@LockeVincent)-"Mass Effect 3 multiplayer has sunk its teeth back in, call me in 3 days."
Tally "xelissa" Callahan-"A little L4D2 like Eric said and poking through the backlog (some RTSs might be fun)."
Chris "The Lemko"Metz(@The_Lemko)- "Cold Stream and Awesomenauts are on my to do list, but I also want to download Hero Academy on Steam to unlock the TF2 team on my phone; very excited about this."
What are you going to be playing?

6:37 PMIt's another Mass Effect 3 Event Weekend so I'll be running Ops out of Firebase London on and off all weekend. Hero Academy showed up on Steam today and has me pretty hooked so I'll likely have that running on the side. Achievement mop in Arkham City and Borderlands if there's time.
@Djinniman Not sure if you're looking for help or not, but I'd be more than happy to lend a hand. Either through some strategies to use or in-game help (if you play on Xbox). Lost Planet 2 is criminally underrated and I will do everything in my power to ensure more people play it.

10:11 PMHopefully I will finish getting my platinum in Portal 2; I have all the single player trophies, just 4 co-op trophies to go! I'm playing on the PS3, so steam members can feel free to add me =D

11:45 PMI'm not going to say Diablo 3 as I haven't co-oped in it for a while... my bro and I might hit up Borderlands when I'm over for lunch tomorrow. I need to find that darn Atlas Ogre.

2:28 AMWell tonight I played "remove the x-clamps" on the Xbox 360 heatsinks and fixed the RROD. I almost gave up since the RROD was still there and the fans were not turning on. The video I watched on the repair did not say or show that the metal washers were needed. I found other people posting about needing two washers per side and once I added the metal washers to the nylon the fans came back on. Back in business to kill locust horde and infected.
