'm in Rotterdam right now, well looking forward to a weekend of establishing calluses on my ass and gaming. At the risk of painting my friend Sven in an unfavorable light, I expect I will be doing a monstrous amount of gaming this weekend: he has one of those modded XBoxes with a wide library of games just sitting on the hard drive. His PS2 has an HD Loader. All these games exist in ISO form on his network. Does he own them all? To be honest, I'm afraid to ask, because then I might be tempted to either take or break a moral position... and Rez is calling, after all.

Regardless, with Leipzig next week and having spent most of this week in Dutch "coffee bars", insanely rambling while space-eyed, flaxen-haired tell me how deep I am, I need some chill time this weekend. And, like I said, Rez seems to fit the trance-inducing bill. What will you be playing? Let us know in the comments/ Florian Eckhardt
