Our Weekend In Gaming: Spring Training

Poor technique like that is exactly why we're pulling two-a-days.

Whether it's due to tactics battles, debugging, or just plain busy...ness, the Co-opticrew has a collectively packed weekend.  Thank heavens for that, too, because we're all needing a little something to get the ol' gears turning again after a long winter.

As foreseen in the soothsayers' prophecies, Fire Emblem Fates has yet to relinquish us from its all-encompassing grasp.  Luckily, it is a kind and compassionate ruler, allowing us to branch out to other franchises when we aren't embroiled in the Hoshidan-Nohrian drama, so we're also getting back on the roguelike train with Barony and abusing our superpowers in Saints Row 4.  

Oh, and they also said that Metroid Prime: Federation Force is still coming out.  If you're above all the controversy, you can check out the latest trailer here.

Enough about those geezers and their archaic rituals, though, you're here for the action!

Nick Puleo (@NickPuleo) - "Perhaps some XCOM 2. Perhaps some Fire Emblem. Perhaps I'll play something randomly from my Steam Library."

Jason Love (@JLove55) - "Not too much gaming for me this weekend, though a board game or two may be played."

Marc Allie (@DjinniMan) - "Fire Emblem plus the otherworldly splendor of Cthulhu Wars!"

Eric Murphy (@smurph_em) - "It's going to be a busy weekend for me. No F.A.L.C.O. tonight, but I might squeeze in some GTA Online at some point, and I'm hoping to start debugging my TIS-100."

John Bardinelli (@itsamejohn) - "Had some big plans for some big games, but since Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight was just released, I'll probably do that instead."

Sam Tyler (@thereelsamtyler) - "Been working my way through Saints Row 4 and playing some Gears of War: Enhanced Edition."

Locke Vincent (@LockeVincent) - "Dabbling in some Barony, Portal Knights, and Bloodborne."

Tally Callahan - "All the Fire Emblem playing and Dota 2 tournament watching!"

Taylor Killian - "I'll be resisting the urge to hurl my 3DS out the window every time someone dies in Fire Emblem Fates"

Enoch Starnes (@enochstarnes) - "I'll be exploring the latter half of Fire Emblem Fates and watching Street Fighter V replays."

How about you?  Are you still caught up in familial spats, or does your weekend path lie elsewhere?  Let us know in the comments!
