Weekend Interactivities - SOPA Edition

We feel that this picture accurately expresses our feelings towards SOPA We feel that this picture accurately expresses our feelings towards SOPA

This past Wednesday, GameDwellers took place in an historic protest. A protest for the ages. The largest internet protest in the history of the internet. Along with internet giants such as Wikipedia, Reddit, Destructoid, Google, Minecraft, and hundreds of others, GameDwellers was "blacked out" for 24 hours to express our concern over the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA.)

The good news is, we have won....for now, at least. The United States Congress (SOPA) and the United States Senate (PIPA) have both recently openly stated that both bills are currently being reworked to address the public's concerns.

So now that we have at least postponed the fall of our free speech on the internet, let's get back to gaming, shall we? We haven't had a major video game release in a while, so most of our staff are playing some old favorites as well as some of the highlights from 2011. Head past the break to see what we're playing this weekend.

  • Corey Winter - I'm with John and Andrew on this one. I'm hitting up some more Saints Row: The Third this weekend. I'm also going to try to revisit Uncharted 3 so I can get my platinum trophy (I'm so close!)
  • Mark Ainsworth - N/A
  • John Frederick - This weekend will be dedicated to homework and cleaning. No time for games this weekend. I have been enjoying Saint's Row: The Third the past couple of weeks, though.
  • Andrew Isley - You know last week when I said that I was torn between The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword & Saints Row: The Third? Well, Saints Row won the battle. So this weekend, I'll be heading back to Steelport to deal with the Syndicate and to wreak stuff.
  • Colleen Shroyer - N/A
  • Bryan Massey - Well, I just downloaded some goodies for my 3DS like Zen Pinball and Link's Awakening and that Resident Evil Revelations demo, I also just started my Gamefly account and have Rayman Origins to play whilst the SOPA kerfuffle carries on.
  • Rick Timmers - N/A
  • Elia Pales - This week I'll be finishing up Assassin's Creed 2, which is amazing, and continuing on with Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
  • Jonny O'Hara - Will be continuing Skyrim after my four week break, think im ready to put another 50 hours into this beast of a game. Also planning on booting up Gears 3 again at some point for my multiplayer fix.
  • Chase Averett - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - I had to hurry through and beat this game to write a review, but now that the review is done, I want to assuage my OCDness and collect all of the items and finish all of the mini-games.
  • James Pope II - After going nuts with my 2 other jobs and homework and losing my mind programming, I'm gonna relax and blow the dust off of my Dreamcast for some Jet Grind Radio. Maybe actually get a little further in Professor Layton and the Last Specter as I wait for Mutant Mudds... hurry up eShop...
