Our Weekend in Gaming: Digging Deep

We're like professional football players, but flabbier and with less mental trauma.

Every new year, people all over the world make a decision to change something about themselves.  Some choose to read more, others choose to change their diet to exclusively whey protein, and a few choose to see an adventure through.  Much of the Co-opticrew has found itself in that last category.  Whether it be saving the world from a rapidly spreading illness, or making their bunny-girl better at deforestation, they have embarked on a long-term journey, and by God, they're gonna stick with it.  Well, at least for this weekend.

Let's see how they're doing, shall we?

Nick Puleo (@NickPuleo) - "I've been enjoying Space Grunts in short bursts. Continuing through the Witcher 3."

Jason Love (@JLove55) - "Leveling up my character in Final Fantasy XIV by chopping down trees and crafting leather goods. What am I doing with my life?"

Mike Katsufrakis (@Pheriannath) - "Starting up a new seasonal character in Diablo 3, and working on my Paladin in FF14. "

Marc Allie (@DjinniMan) - "Finishing up the campaign in Starcraft 2 and trying to save the world in Pandemic Legacy."

Eric Murphy (@smurph_em) - "We'll be attempting our first 4-player heist (Prison Break) in GTA Online tonight at 8PM CST. Watch us live on our Twitch channel!"

John Bardinelli (@itsamejohn) - "Picked up an Nvidia Shield Tablet, so I'll be Android gaming until my wrists hurt and my eyes get all blurry."

Sam Tyler (@thereelsamtyler) - "The new Zheros will be dropping on Games for Gold so I will pick that up and am also playing some Life is Strange."

Locke Vincent (@LockeVincent) - "Playing in space with some Oculus and Elite Dangerous."

Tally Callahan - "Guild Wars 2, some Vermintide, and more of our Pandemic Legacy adventure."

Taylor Killian - "SPLATFESTSPLATFESTSPLATFESTSPLATFEST"

Cecilia Good - "We picked up Splatoon, so we will be swimming in ink this weekend."
