Weekend Confirmed 91 - Metal Gear Rising, Last of Us, Syndicate
by Garnett Lee, Dec 16, 2011 11:00am PSTThe flurry of new game trailers unleashed during the VGAs last week leads the conversation on Weekend Confirmed this week. Shacknews' own New York-based editor Andrew Yoon joins Xav, Jeff, and Garnett to wade through them, starting with Metal Gear Rising, and moving on through Last of Us, Fortnite, and Mass Effect 3. Andrew recently attended a Sony event back in New York and shares impressions from playing Syndicate, Journey, and Lumines. Listener Shadow13th called out Jeff for using saves to control his fate in role playing games and the group picks up the subject of the min/max approach to gaming and how it exposes the mechanics potentially to the detriment of immersion. There's still more too, with a quick look at November's NPD sales numbers, Trine 2, and Finishing Moves.

Hardcore Gaming 101 is going to be doing a 12 hour gaming marathon to raise money for Child's Play this Saturday (the 17th, tomorrow as of posting this). We wish we could have announced this a lot sooner, but this is something of a first time for everyone involved, and we had to learn a lot in a pretty short span of time, and by "we" I mean "mostly CJ," who grabbed the ball and ran with it.
Expect to see in action, the kinds of games you might read about on the site. CJ is even open to requests.
There's gonna be a lot of CPlay events this weekend, and if you've committed your wallet to one of the others, that's cool, it all goes to the same good cause, but do drop by and check out the stream if you have the chance, and if you have a twitch account, joint the chat and cheer CJ on, maybe show your appreciation for all the great content that HG101 provides.

If any Shackers came to watch the show, we wholeheartedly thank you. We didn't really know what to expect, and it was great fun.
