  "account": "This weekend, people are planning their gaming activities in various ways. Callum is in Leeds, but will be spending time watching the Resident Evil movie instead of playing video games. He hopes Nemesis, his son, will show up and cheer during the film. James needs to play Roman Sands before Edwin defeats him in the game Blood Rage. Edwin also intends to play Control: Resonant and buy new shoes due to worn-out footwear. Mark plans to spend more time on Crusader Kings 3 and Automobilista 2. Ollie has started playing Wardogs and expects to play more of it. Jeremy finished The Blood of Dawnwalker and may take a break to reflect on his performance, or play Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen, a SNES game he started earlier this year. Julian will likely play Racing Demon with his family, a competitive solitaire game he has enjoyed since childhood.",
