Bad news, folks. You won't have me to kick around next week. Tomorrow, I head to sunny Ireland for a week's worth of heavy vacationing, basking in the glorious sunny weather typical of Dublin in March. Don't worry. I'm bringing my sunblock. Plus, I'm bringing games!

When not out lounging by the pool at the Four Seasons, pina colada in hand, I'll be making time with any number of portable games I'll have on hand. From Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2 to Brain Age to Trauma Center, I'll be making sweet gaming music with my Nintendo DS. If I feel like mixing it up, maybe I'll throw in some Exit for the PSP. Maybe I'll even remember to bring my copy of Diablo II, dispatching all manner of hellspawn while my body processes gallons of fresh Guinness.

Pity the other Kotaku editors, as they'll have to pick up the blogging slack in my absence. But enough about us. What have you got planned for the weekend? Hit the comments and let us know. Michael McWhertor
