RPS Crew Reveals Weekend Gaming Plans: From Czech Outhouses to Saucy Bananas (No, Really)
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
The Rock Paper Shotgun team shared their weekend gaming plans, revealing a delightful mix of bizarre preferences and questionable life choices... all in the name of gaming, of course. Turns out, even the pros occasionally crave digital bananas and desolate Czech outhouses.
Right, so the weekend's nearly upon us, and the brave souls over at Rock Paper Shotgun (bless their cotton socks) have decided to share their gaming plans. It's a peek behind the digital curtain, mate, a glimpse into the chaotic good that is the RPS hive mind. Fair warning: it's delightfully weird.
Brendan, bless him, is still lost in *Death Stranding 2* on the PlayStation. Apparently, he's been skipping boss fights just to spam that like button on ladders. I reckon that's dedication to the cause, or maybe just a severe aversion to combat. Who am I to judge? We've all got our quirks.
Edwin, meanwhile, is prepping for a biblical-sounding thunderstorm by… reading about new materialism. Or, failing that, getting his mouse-based platforming on in *Transformice*. Sounds like a solid Plan B to me.
Graham’s diving headfirst into *Donkey Kong Bananza*. His highlight? The game's saucy "ooh, banana" sound effect whenever you smash a banana gem. Bloody hell, that's either genius or utterly bonkers. Possibly both.
Then there's James, who's inexplicably back on the *DayZ* train. He admits it's not exactly escapism (cold beans in a Czech outhouse doesn't sound like anyone's ideal holiday), but finds something "centering" about being alone in a massive, empty world. Each to their own, I say. Maybe he's onto something.
Jeremy's juggling *Final Fantasy XII* with *Gotham Knights*, the latter serving as his 'work break' game. He's a big fan of the caped crusader comics, and enjoys playing as Red Hood, blasting mooks with "non-lethal" bullets. Hey, if it works, it works. He even bravely declares that *Arkham Origins* has the best story of any of the *Batman* games. Bold statement, Jeremy, bold statement.
Mark, our resident petrolhead, admits he's lost all pretense of being interesting and is just driving cars in a video game. However, he might also be playing more of *Rockbeasts*, which is supposedly "distinctly less blandly laddish" than his usual driving sim fare. Good for him for branching out, eh?
Nic is worried about his grimdark beige gaming diet but is getting stuck into *Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader*. He’s also got a couple of secret review games on the go, plus more *Tall Trails*.
And finally, Ollie is MIA, apparently burning in hell for some unknown sin involving MS Paint. I assume it was a truly heinous crime against graphic design.
So, there you have it: a peek at the varied and slightly unhinged gaming habits of the Rock Paper Shotgun crew. It's a reminder that gaming is a deeply personal thing, and that sometimes, the best games are the ones that make you say "ooh, banana" in a saucy voice.
