The weekend is for hanging out with a friend who has a dog, which means getting to pet a dog. It’s also for video games. I’ve been banging my head against Baba Is You’s delightful puzzles all week, and I’m really looking forward to having some uninterrupted weekend time to spend with them. I’ll also…

Fortnite’s 8.10 patch brings a new vehicle, the Baller. It also makes vending machines free but one use only. There are changes to crossplay: PS4 and Xbox players now matchmake with each other, as do Switch and mobile players, which Epic hopes will create “an on-average better per-game experience for both Mobile and Switch players.” See…
Red Dead Redemption 2 is full of distractions. There’s poker, blackjack, and dominos to play. There are animals to hunt and collectibles to find. Many of these activities seem like ways to take your mind off the main story, and you can easily ignore them to focus on the game’s more pressing matters. But one…
Fortnite Season 8 is here, which means a new battle pass
I don’t try to be the best in battle royale games. I don’t troll or anything, but I’m not as concerned with skillful wins as I am with having fun or coming away with an exciting story. But Apex Legends makes me want to try. I also get some great stories in the process. Apex…
The weekend is for cleaning the bathroom so I can live out my longstanding plan to watch new Chef’s Table while taking a bath. It’s also for video games! I didn’t have time to complete the requisite Fortnite challenges to get the new battle pass for free, but I have enough V-bucks saved that I don’t…
If you have an Xbox One and haven’t given Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 a try, you no longer have an excuse. It’s one of the more imaginative online shooters in recent years. Don’t let the Plants vs. Zombies wrapping fool you, there’s lots of tactical and strategic depth here and also it’s just…
The weekend is for looking for a new available Origin name, because your Apex Legends teammates trying to pronounce whatever lazy thing you picked when you bought Mass Effect 3 isn’t quite cutting it.

The weekend is for being a long weekend, which is convenient, because there are too many games to play. I’m going to play Far Cry New Dawn, and Metro, and more Apex Legends, and try to make headway on the new Fortnite challenges…whew! I’m already thinking about how to optimize my time to get to…

I’ve been sticking with healer Lifeline as my main in Apex Legends; I play support in most games that give me the option. I take my healer duties very seriously, rushing in to boost my squad’s HP and calling in supply drops whenever I can. In my mind, my responsibility as support also extends to…
The weekend is for having been invited to a lot of dinner parties, which feels very adult. It’s also for video games! I’m going to spend more time in Apex Legends this weekend. Last night a friend texted me to play this game with her by calling it “Ape Legs,” which I am hereby declaring…
