WRUP: Giant Robots For The Win Edition

I knew before going to watch Pacific Rim that I was going to be a fan on some level. I love giant robots and kaiju-themed films and it was expected to be fun and dumb. As it turned out, it was excellent fun and without the dread. It's not a serious film, but it's a film that is full of love letters to the genres it influenced. There are homages, but there's no need to delve into the past.

You can leave out 3D, because it didn't utilize it to its fullest effect and if you're slightly interested in the film do yourself a favor and watch it. It's worth every penny you spend, and much more than that.

I could be poetic about the film here I could wax poetic about the film here, but WRUP is about the film we're watching, not about the films we're obsessing about. If you go to the end of the break, you'll find precisely the opposite. Please share with us what you'll be doing this weekend in the comments.

@Beau_Hindman - I'm an avid shooter, more so than ever before. Therefore, I'll be spending time in PlanetSide 2, Defiance, and, most recently, Firefall which looks absolutely amazing. My wife is sporting a new gaming laptop which allows us to destroy things together. It's hard. I'll also be taking on RuneScape's Bacon Quest. It looks incredible however the bacon jerky they sent was a disaster.

@nbrianna: I'm not sure where I'll be this weekend. Ultima Online will soon expire as well as my EVE Online Freebie has expired and Guild Wars 2 has, according to some reports, devolved into a series involving jumping puzzles that don't have an exit. I'm sure I'm mad when World of Warcraft has started appearing attractive again. Save me Steam summer sale!

@PsykopigAU: Guild Wars 2 is definitely on the agenda for me this weekend, however I've been thinking about going for a quick trip to Star Wars: The Old Republic because of the closing of the servers on the ocean. It brought back memories of the wonderful times I spent playing PVP on servers with low-ping and also made me realize how much I miss the game. EXTREMEMINING

@Eliot_Lefebvre: This is the final weekend of closed testing in Final Fantasy XIV, so I'll be taking charge of this. I've got a lot to do in Star Wars: The Old Republic before the next patch is released and, on top of that, I've got a 3DS to play on. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem Awakening and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy are far better than any mobile game that has any right to be.

@irljasmine: Right now my gaming world revolves around exploring Eorzea with my little archer. I am enjoying Final Fantasy XIV's A Realm Reborn beta quite frequently, so I'll be taking in every bit of beta goodness I can. When it's time to get away from moogles and chocobos, I'll be trying to figure how my town was built on top so many fossils in Animal Crossing. It's kind of a hazard.

@jefreahard I'll be playing NCAA Football 14. I am one of those guys, but look at it this way. Georgia Tech will never win another national championship if it's not on someone else's console. Oh, and GT Legends is an old racing simulator that I found on Steam. Best $2.49 I've ever spent.

@MJ_Guthrie: I'm planning on getting the final of the guardian pets at The Secret World's anniversary event and I'll stay until I get them! I'm just going to have to take them all! I'm really only going to need two more (which unfortunately equates to many, many golem bosses). If I'm lucky, I might even be able to get into Fusang for my last one. If I can finish my set before the weekend ends I'll be weaving some songs using my Songweaver Aion. And then , most likely, return to TSW to play with more golems.

@RichieProcopio - This weekend, I'll be playing Guild Wars 2. This new-fangled achievement reward system has really tinkered with my OCD tendencies. I now view the game as one long achievement meter that needs to be filled to capacity. At the finish line, a hellfire helmet waits for my Norn to wear it and bask in its warmth. The situation has just gotten more awkward.

@Epykbeard I'll be playing lots of Wurm Online and some PlanetSide 2 to mix it all up. Spartacus Legends is a favorite of mine on the Xbox, and I plan to play it for the rest of my life. Of course, the Steam sale in the summer will affect all these plans, and I'll end up playing something brand new that everyone else beat three months ago, like BioShock Infinite.
