WRUP: If America hadn't gained independence edition

Prithee, I hope this letter finds thee well. Our distance makes my heart yearn for you, like an A misses Zed. I spend my days contemplating napkins and seeing the colour of your eyes in the tweed jackets of the commoners walking by. The hours are long here in The Colonies. Bennington tells me that, at Her Majesty's University of New Yorkshire, they are on the verge of perfecting a machine that allows one to play games through the telly. Imagine that! To have such a magnificent device in 2009 would be ever so pip-pip hooray in passing the time. I plan to put on my finest wig tomorrow and travel there to experience their first "video game" for this device. What sport are you participating in currently?
Humbly yours,
Sir Robin Woolcott Ellington Spencer of Covington Crossing, Virginia

WRUP: The Crackdown on inFamous Prototypes edition

Also, could someone give us an idea of how to block the Crackdown narrator from popping in our head and saying "Skills for kills, agent. Skills for kills" after every major inFamous and Prototype battle? What's everyone playing this weekend?
WRUP: E3 recovery edition

We are soooo tired. By the time this post goes live, we'll likely be in the air back to our respective locations and/or asleep. Please let us know what you're playing this weekend.
XOXO,

WRUP: E3 is upon us

Anyway, this return to the old ways is sure to be hell for the thousands in the press, marketing, public relations, development and whoever else is working; but we hope that you'll join us for all the information, culture and shadowy things that are sure to occur. Remember, follow our Twitter accounts (listed after the break) for all the stuff that's not fit to publish. Now, what's everyone playing this weekend while we pack?

WRUP: Post-GDC brain fart edition

Ben G.: No WRUP this week?
Alexander S.: ... crap.
Ben G.: Sorry, buddy. We can run it tomorrow. (I just realized now, if it makes you feel any better.)
Alexander S.: You couldn't remind me 10 hours ago? :)
Randy N.: Are you sure it's too late?
Ben G.: I would do that now but my flux capacitor's broken.
Alexander S.: I'll send it out, see what response we get. Post-GDC brain fart.
Ben G.: Yep. You just got your edition name.
Alexander S.: Sent ...
WRUP: Home vs Away
An example of Joystiq dispute resolution
The Joystiq team has been divided into two groups: those who went to GDC09 and those who didn't. As such, Alexander is far too busy being busy to get to WRUP this week, so I'm guest-hosting. It's okay, we won't tell him how much better I am at this. We'll just keep that between ourselves, mmkay?
So, whatcha playing?
