Weekend Warrior – The Most Evil Friday

We’ve made it through another week but have landed on an ominous date to start the weekend. Friday, the 13th. This is the day of release for the new cover of Game InformerEvil Dead: The Game. You wouldn’t know that we have posted this issue’s entire cover story online. We have lots more content on our website, including Ash Williams’s new asymmetrical multiplayer online game. Enjoy this taster of some of our original content throughout the weekend. 

You can see all that, and so much more. Now that all the pieces have been wrapped up, as well as the week’s work week, it is time to enjoy a weekend of relaxation. These are the plans of the GI Staff for the next few weeks:

John Carson – After surviving a terrible cold (yes, I was a baby about it all week) and plenty of severe weather, I’m ready to have a nice calm weekend without all the tornado warnings, sniffles, and Kleenex. I’m currently in Salt and Sacrifice and will try to roll credits in a few hours. Then I want to go back and play through Xenoblade Chronicles. After taking some time off due to sickness/trips, Sunday will mark Magic Day for the Commander group. They’ll be flexing on me with a new deck. Wish me luck!

Marcus Stewart – Elden Ring. Level 134 Malenia. I’m so close to the end but keep finding other things to do. Do I have the chance to become Elden Lord? Most likely not. I’ll also be hanging out around town with a buddy and catching up on some wrestling.

Kristin Williams – I’ve been in the mood for a good sim game recently, and hearing some of the excitement about Two Point Campus coming up made me want to check out their previous game, Two Point Hospital. I’m hooked and will definitely be spending more time trying to manage increasingly chaotic hospital situations this weekend. And definitely getting outside a lot – we’ve finally got nice weather here in Minnesota!

Jon Woodey – Aside from my usual FFXIV shenanigans, I’ll be playing lots of Stardew Valley. While I may be late to this party, 1.5 introduced lots more content. Many mods were also updated. Sometimes the Warrior Of Light just needs to relax and farm. 

Jill Grodt – It’s all about updates this weekend. Loot River just made resources more plentiful, and I’m working towards mopping up all its achievements. On top of that, MythForce added quests, I still need to check out Sifu’s new content, and I’ve really been meaning to drop into Bugsnax again for those tiny Snax hats! Of course, I have a heaping helping of backlog to get through, but let’s not worry about that. Have a great weekend, everyone! 

Wesley LeBlanc – I’ve got Citizen Sleeper on the brain. Earlier this week, I wrote about how it’s an RPG on Xbox Game Pass that absolutely deserves your attention, and now, more hours into the game, I feel that even more. Go play Citizen Sleeper! I’m hoping to finish that up this weekend and get back to playing through GTAV. Plus, I’m planning to start Evil Dead: The Game this weekend too! Elsewhere, I foresee plenty of frisbee with my pups, and possibly, maybe, for some reason, I might catch up on the Halo TV series despite everything in me telling me I shouldn’t.

Weekend Warrior veterans will know how to do it. But if this is your first weekend, we want to hear about what you are doing. Do you plan to watch scary films in celebration of Friday the 13th?! Which games will you be playing? Are there any recommendations for books, films, music or comics? All of this would be great. All of this can be shared in the comments. Have a wonderful weekend, GI Community!
