The weekend is for deciding to buy a blender, but why are there so many different blenders? Also, video games.

When I was a kid, I begged my parents for a Game Gear. When I eventually wore them down, they bought me the handheld, along with six games—but I only had the courage to play five of them.

The weekend is for cleaning the house. No, really. Really this time. Also, video games.

The weekend is for a second try at meal prep, since your first try last week wasn’t so hot. Also, video games.

It’s been two years since Rick and Morty season two premiered and tonight the show finally returns for its third season. Are you ready to get riggity riggity wrecked?

The weekend is for going to a new laundromat for the first time. Will it be terrible? Tolerable? Also, video games.

The weekend is for caving to the pressure and buying an air conditioner even though the thought of installing one is terrifying. Also, video games.

The weekend is for assembling IKEA furniture in your un-air conditioned apartment, but you live alone now, so at least you don’t have to wear clothes. Also, video games.

The weekend is for packing to move into a new house! So probably not video games. But probably actually video games, because packing is boring.

Back in the ancient days of 2012, pundits and analysts across the world put on their soothsayer hats and predicted that iPhones and iPads would kill console gaming. Then, the PS4 came out and sold roughly 40 billion units, proving them all wrong. Which raises the question: How many people started gaming this…

The weekend is for eating those tasty yogurts you’ve been so excited to eat that you keep saving them, even though you could totally eat the ones you have and then buy more. Also, video games.

The weekend is for having a three day weekend, the perfect length of weekend for doing the requisite weekend tasks of social stuff, chores, and doing absolutely nothing. (All weekends should be three days weekends. Just saying.) Also, video games.

The weekend is for packing because you’re going on a solo vacation to Iceland next week, which is exciting and a little scary! But planning is stressful, so probably video games.
