Playing With Swords all day Wednesday!

by Dan on December 21, 2010

Look, I’ll be honest: I don’t want to do any real work Wednesday. I may have to, but I don’t really want to. I just moved my apartment so I’m pretty wiped out, and I’m still nursing a bad ankle. The parking lot is thinning out as more and more people head out for the big holiday. Visions of sugarplums are already dancing in my head.

So let’s play games. I’m setting up three two-hour sessions (with breaks so I can actually do any necessary real work…and pee), and you get to choose what we play. You can choose two from each category and, barring major technical catastrophe or something, whatever gets the most votes is what I’ll play.

10:30am to 12:30pm – PlayStation 3
I’ve got an HDMI-ready TV and a USB chat headset here on my desk, so…

Which game should we play on PS3?

  • PS3 - Call of Duty: Black Ops (56%, 50 Votes)
  • PS3 - Blur (19%, 17 Votes)
  • PS3 - Transformers: War for Cybertron (9%, 8 Votes)
  • PS3 - DJ Hero 2 (9%, 8 Votes)
  • PS3 - Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (8%, 7 Votes)

Total Voters: 90

1:00pm to 3:00pm – PC
My work PC looks like it’s capable of gaming once again — the elves from IT made everything nice with a fresh Win 7 install, and the drivers seem to be holding up. So…

Which game should we play on PC?

  • PC - Call of Duty: Black Ops (30%, 25 Votes)
  • PC - Wolfenstein (2009) (25%, 21 Votes)
  • PC - Return to Castle Wolfenstein (22%, 18 Votes)
  • PC - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (14%, 12 Votes)
  • PC - Call of Duty: World at War (8%, 7 Votes)

Total Voters: 83

3:30pm to 5:30pm – Xbox 360
I was tempted to throw in Blood Drive but figured, no, let’s go with the games that I think a lot of people have. So…

Which game should we play on 360?

  • 360 - Call of Duty: Black Ops (46%, 57 Votes)
  • 360 - Blur (37%, 46 Votes)
  • 360 - Transformers: War for Cybertron (11%, 13 Votes)
  • 360 - DJ Hero 2 (7%, 9 Votes)
  • 360 - Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (5%, 6 Votes)

Total Voters: 123

Voting ends five minutes before each game session starts, so I’ll pop in or load up whatever game wins. And then, just drop me a note online and we’ll get our gaming on. Sound good?

    I say Black Ops… You’re a great decoy! :)

    I wish more people had Transformers. It was really fun.

    I get a sinking feeling that COD Blops will win every category. -___-

    I need more people to play GH and Blur with me!

    Have to agree with Ice. ;-P

  • Wilbur Smith

    You should only play COD Black Ops on one system such as PS3 then play DJ Hero 2 with me on xbox

    I’m intrigued to see that so many PS3 gamers want to play Black Ops. To hear the internet talk about it, it’s unplayable. Mind you, I jumped on last night and had no issues whatsoever, but I know other people have had concerns. Perhaps they are not as widespread as I had believed? I assumed my trouble-free experience was in the minority, based on the talk.

    I can’t find the option for Interstate 76…..

  • Yodadamanadamwan

    It was bad as soon as the patch came out but it’s about back to what it was like pre-patch now (which is good). You’ll be fine playing it today.

    You would hop on the 360 AFTER I go to bed in France.. totally would have liked to play Blur with you again :/

  • Anex

    I’m all for Blur as well.

    Black Ops is the only PS3 game I have that is on your list of options, so…yeah I voted for that.

  • Anonymous

    You have Black Ops for all 3 systems, but only have Blur for the consoles? Shame on you Dan, shame on you!

    Where is the choice for L4D2 on PC?

  • http://oneofswords.com/ Dan (OneOfSwords)

    You may have noticed that all the options here are Activision games. :)

    I have Blur on PC but not on Steam, so I couldn’t find my installer disc post-move. Yet.

    What time zone are you on?

    Blur on 360. Make it happen people!
