What are you playing: Formula Spies Like Us
Analog or digital, it doesn't matter -- games are games. Tell us what you're playing and find out what Team Shack is up to this weekend.
After a week of playing and writing about the digital age of gaming, it's nice to revisit the analog world and play some board games. For the first time since I was a teenager, I sat down and played some board games. Last night I ventured out to Jeff Cannata's place to partake in a few hours of old school gaming bliss.
It was great to sit back and play games like The Resistance and Formula D (shown above) with a slew of people. On the track we had Jeff from Weekend Confirmed and Totally Rad Show, TRS producer Mike, and co-hosts Alex and Dan along with their friend Mark, and Peter from /Film. It was an epic evening of hunting for spies and racing through Monaco.
What are you up to this weekend, Shackers?

- Garnett Lee: I’ll be spending the weekend fighting all manner of evil in the name of reviews starting with Shadows of the Damned and then venturing forth into Dungeon Siege III.
- Xav de Matos: I have to finish recording the voice over for a book, but I'm going to sneak in some time with Child of Eden and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for review.
- Andrew Yoon: I'll be returning to madness, working on a review of the new Alice game.
- Alice O'Connor: I'm off to see the 566-minute Holocaust documentary Shoah on Saturday.
- Jeff Mattas: I’m gonna ‘lectrocute some bad guys in Infamous 2, and probably get into a few rounds of some online co-op with my dad for Father’s Day—in the form of some Left 4 Dead 2 or Rainbow Six Vegas 2.
- Steve Watts: I know I keep claiming I'm going to finish up LA Noire, but this is the weekend I finally do it! Probably. Maybe. Okay, almost definitely not. But Infamous 2 and Child of Eden are distracting.
- Ozzie Mejia: This weekend's all about Fathers Day and celebrating my nephew turning eight, as he gets another year closer to beating me at Marvel vs. Capcom 3.v

He wanted to come but had some set plans. Maybe another time if it happens!

I think if Jeff gets everyone on the shacknews/gamefly media staff on to boardgames, Garnett may just feel a little left out... thus finally playing that damn board game thing :oD

Holy shit, I don't think I could watch anything that long. I hope there's at least breaks during the screening.

Dumbest. Comment. Ever.

My comment was aimed at the assumption that reviewers purposefully dislike games for "hits."
Like whatever you want. That's awesome. It makes no difference to me.

Great pick Alice, Shoah is one of the best documentary's I have seen, period. Albeit I could not watch it all in one sitting.
-
Dirt3 and Ticket To Ride - Board and iPad. Maybe some Black Ops
-
Still playing league of legends and tf2.

Shogun 2 : Total War, just bought it, never played a Total War game before although I've spent days of my life on Civ in years past and I can see myself doing the same with this game!
Had it less than a week and I've put 18 hours in already, it's far too good. Like a more complicated game of RISK! -
I'll probably hit Terraria for a bit, complete my necro armor, then join some friends in BC2, with a bit of BattleHeart on my android tablet in between.
