On the bench

It's been a tiring few days of travel here at Push Square Towers, so we apologise for the tardiness both on the site and in publishing What Are You Playing – it won't happen again (any time soon). With our batteries recharged and our minds refocused, though, it's time to look forward, as we prepare to take the site to the next level. We're just going to put our feet up for a few more days first, though...

I'm playing catch-up as I'm behind on practically... Well, everything right now. It'll be running, news writing, and Tropico 5 for me on this fine Bank Holiday weekend. I'm also going to stuff my face full of sausage rolls at a family gathering.

Good old bank holiday weekends – a time when you can spend not two but three whole days curled up in front of a television playing games. On the agenda this time around is more Dragon Age: Inquisition, as I attempt to really get stuck into my second playthrough before the DLC hits PlayStation platforms. The problem, however, is that I've already spent a good 20 or so hours completing the prologue, so I'm pretty sure that BioWare's creation must exist in some sort of realm where time isn't a factor.

I'm flying down to sunny Sydney this weekend to celebrate my father's birthday [Happy Birthday, Danger Dave – Ed], so I doubt that I'll be able to get in much gaming time. However, if I do manage to squeeze some in, it'll probably involve catching up on The Order: 1886 and Life is Strange. Ten Australian dollars to the person who can guess which one I'm more excited to play.

After weeks of threatening to finish Bloodborne, I only went and bloody did it. I was a little sad when It was all over, as spending time in Yarnham had become a bit of a fixture of my weekend gaming. As a result, I'm at a bit of a loose end this week, which seems like the perfect time for a Telltale takeover, to catch up on the episodes that I've missed of both Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands.

I'm finally ready to face the end of Bloodborne this weekend, but before I do, I'm roaming around the world one last time cleaning up some optional bosses I missed... With the Internet as my guide. It would've taken ages for me to find them if it weren't for walkthroughs. Other than that, I will be watching the awesome Daredevil TV series, and rejoice as I finish my last day of exams on Saturday to graduate from college [Exams at the weekend? America is weird – Ed]. Ah, sweet freedom!

This long weekend gives me the perfect opportunity to return to The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth in search of the final seven trinkets to retrieve the ultimate Platinum Trophy. The hardest Trophy to pick up will definitely be completing the game with the lost character, who has no health. I will also be starting up DriveClub as I recently purchased it from the PlayStation Store. Watch your back Sammy: you won't be topping those leaderboards much longer! [The tragic truth is that I've never been top of the leaderboards, Simon – Ed]


We're off to lie in a dark room for a few hours, but feel free to pad out the comments section with your gaming agenda. What are you playing this weekend? Let us know below.
