ROBOT

Is your house robot-proof, dear reader? No. No, it isn’t. Of course it isn’t! You have never given a single thought to robot-proofing your house! You didn’t robot-proof your home at all. You are like a walking buffet to any robot who wants to enter your home and be a robot. That robot could enter your home and… do robot things.

Look, it’s not a question of what the robot would be doing. Maybe the robot in question would clean your house. But, like, really badly. Maybe the robot would clean your house by smashing dishes. Do you like your dishes? Because this hypothetical robot would smash them. If you don’t like your dishes, assume that the robot would smash something you do like. Your boyfriend, maybe. Your DVDs. Copies of the album “Smash” by The Offspring.

Robot-proof your home, reader! Why is your home not robot-proofed now? I suppose you can take the time to read our entries in this week’s What Are You Playing and let us know what you’re playing down in the comments, but do it quickly. The robots aren’t going to wait forever! Unless they are.

​Andrew Ross (@dengarsw): ​Busy weekend again, so at least Hearthstone and some Mario Kart. Still trying to do PvE in HEX but choosing a race as a recovering min maxer has been a time consuming effort that often results in more PvP.

Brianna Royce (@nbrianna, blog): I hope to be in Black Desert a bit this weekend. Time to check this puppy out! I also have guildies flocking to Grim Dawn, which I haven’t had time to try out yet. It’s an embarrassment of gaming riches right now!

Eliot Lefebvre (@Eliot_Lefebvre, blog): I’ve really been getting back into 20XX over the past couple of updates – the patches for the game have made an already polished title even more so, and while there are rough edges still to be sanded off I’m enjoying my time in the game quite a bit. Other than that, the usual assortment of Final Fantasy XIV activities, as the patch has proved quite entrancing.

Justin Olivetti (@Sypster, blog): I truly wish I knew, to be honest. The safe bet is some Bard leveling in FFXIV and more Scorched Desert questing in The Secret World. But I’m hankering for something different, so maybe some Allods Online? RIFT? Skyforge? I’m just loading them all and feeling out my mood when the time permits.

Patreon Patron Pierre: I’m somehow tempted to play The Elder Scrolls Online (for me the best MMO available at the moment. Don’t listen to Matt Firor; imho ESO is an MMO indeed, but an MMO of 2016, not an MMO of 2006). But my addiction to XCOM 2 is too strong. It’s such an immersive, challenging, and emotionnally loaded video game. I haven’t been so captivated by a game for a long time. It’s my GOTY 2016, and I don’t see how another game will be able to dethrone it, even if we are just at the beginning of the year.”

Your turn!
