Bonus question: What television series do you find yourself rewatching the most often?

​Andrew Ross (@dengarsw): Oh no! I still need to make room in my box for the Pokemon Go Community Day on Saturday! I also really want to do more work on my Animal Crossing house. I cleaned up the island a bit plus most of the house to prepare for the Mario crossover event, and I got one room down before real life stuff distracted me… for most of the week, sadly.

I don’t really watch a lot of TV on my own, let alone rewatch it. My brother used to rewatch The Simpsons a lot, so I’d do that with him, and I found Adventure Time could be useful for motivating students (I could write a whole paper on that), but nothing in my adult life comes to mind. If streaming counts, I’ve seen one or two episodes of The Mandalorian and One Punch-Man three times, but mostly because I was (e-)watching with someone else.

Ben Griggs (@braxwolf): Depending on my mood, I’ll either be jumping into World of Warships (if I’m feeling competitive) or Elite: Dangerous (if I’m feeling chill).

I don’t usually rewatch an entire series, but I like to revisit old 90’s shows like Frasier, Friends, or Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Brianna Royce (@nbrianna, blog): Been having fun in City of Heroes again, so I’ll probably be in there. And taking my kids again with me, though it’s a bit like herding cats hyper kittens on a sugar high. Somebody recommend me a toon I can use to PL my kittens.

Sometimes I’ll do a very intentional rewatch of a show I loved (usually when I’m sick and need something binge-y), or I’ll rewatch a season before the next season to refresh my memory, but I don’t like… put stuff on in the background as a regular thing. (My husband does, though, and he’s been rewatching Voyager… ug.) I think the last thing I rewatched at all was The Mandalorian.

Chris Neal (@wolfyseyes, blog): With my excitement all stirred up for Elite: Dangerous, I will likely do a fair bit more in there sometime this weekend. I also have found someone who wants to join up in City of Heroes, and I want to further grind out some of the higher nodes of my Dauntless character progression.

I haven’t actually watched TV, new or old, in literally months. Does rewatching YouTube videos count, though? Because that’s something I’ve totally done plenty of times.

Eliot Lefebvre (@Eliot_Lefebvre, blog): Some Final Fantasy XIV for me, and then… eh, probably just some low-key relaxing stuff on the sides. Like silly puzzle games, that sounds nice.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve rewatched good chunks of shows I found particularly appealing, but my highest rewatch counts probably go to Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Sam Kash (@thesamkash): I’ll be playing some Crowfall this weekend. I’m enjoying the new systems they’ve put in place for building classes. It definitely feels more streamlined than in previous builds of the game. I’ve also got a regular group I game with and we’ve had our eyes on Rogue Heroes on Steam. We thought about playing last weekend but the reviews for the online co-op were brutal. Supposedly they have a patch coming to clean that up though so hopefully we’ll get in there.

I’ll rewatch Friends or Futurama any day, any time, any where. They are both simply great classics.

Tyler Edwards (blog): I’m back in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla after a bit of a break.

Bonus question: I rewatch old episodes of The Simpsons or Futurama almost constantly. In terms of actual sit down, full series rewatches, probably Star Trek: Enterprise or Stargate: Universe.

Pierre, patron: After a very busy week at work and almost no time for gaming, I’ll try to play some games this weekend. My gaming program is the same (again!) as last week. Final Fantasy XIV for my share of MMO and Persona 5 for solo gaming. I saw two very enticing indie games launching this week, Loop Hero and The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante, and I’m really tempted to try to play at least one of them. The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante looks like one of these adventure books with gorgeous drawings and art style and exerts strong attraction on me.

Bonus question: The 100 is probably the TV show I’ve binge watched most often. In fact, every time a new season is to be broadcast, I go through and rewatch all the previous seasons beforehand to be ready for the new one. These days, I’m binge-watching 24 as it’s been available on Netflix for a few weeks now, at least in France. It’s a great show to watch when you want to empty your head and the acting is far from bad, much better than I remembered. For instance, in the last seasons, there’s great acting from Annie Wersching, the unforgettable Tess in The Last of Us. And you MOP readers, what are you playing and binge-watching this weekend?
