Good Weekend to one and all, and welcome to a fairly subdued edition of Whatcha Been Playing? As those of you who have been paying attention will be aware, I’m not so peachy at the moment. Unfortunately, this cruddiness is rolling into week two, and as such I’m not really feeling myself in any form of fashion. Regardless, it is Saturday, and I hope that today will bring me some rest, bring you some good times, and will bring every last one of us a little sunshine, both literally and metphorically.<\/p>

Thanks a helluva lot for showing out this morning, and here’s to you and your weekend, make it a great one!<\/p>

Sick, Sad World<\/h2>

I have spent much of this week at rest, for obvious reasons, while crawling out from under the sheets in order to write various pieces of quarter-quality work for this here website. It has to be done, even if I’m not putting out close to my best. In regards to gaming, I’ve not been feeling very much at all, though I have taken my first steps into the crimson-splattered city of HelL-A for Deep Silver’s long-awaited Dead Island 2. <\/em><\/p>

Yes, folks, seems I drew the short straw, and thus will be covering this bout of corporate cool<\/a> for our dear website. Will it have been worth the wait? Well, I’m afraid I’m still a couple of weeks from being allowed to spill the beans and brains. Still, stick around. You’ll have my thoughts before too long.<\/p>

Touch me I’m sick<\/h2>

Anyway buckos, let’s get to this weekend, complete with all of the joy and inspiration that I hope it brings you and yours. Before you get stuck into Saturday, however, it would cheer me up muchly if you’d take the time to jump into the comments below and let me know Whatcha Been Playing? It’s something of a dry period for new releases, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t all have plenty to be getting on with. So please tell both myself\u00a0and your fellow community members all about it. Y’all inspire me with your love and commitment to the bit, so help make my stinky morning a happier one, while also doing the same for the rest of the travelers on the good ship Dtoid. Can’t wait to hear from y’all!<\/p>

Have a wonderful weekend, from all of us at Destructoid.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":372440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[1953,435,8277,437,19687],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":3,"display_name":"Chris Moyse","user_login":"Chris Moyse","user_nicename":"chris-moyse"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhatcha been playing this week, Destructoid?
