Mine was great! I basically played only my brute and managed to get from 13 to 50 in these three days.
Double xp was good here 
Actually found myself playing again after a couple of months of inactivity. Got my pain corruptor to 32 and finally made a VEAT and got her to 24. All is good
Was mostly finishing off some characters.
Got my Fire/Fire scrapper to 50 was the most notable for me because its been sat in the 40s for a long time.
Got a couple of other 50s too and chatted a hell of a lot.
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
I watched a few old movies..
Street Fighter (The Van Damme one)
Super Mario Bros
Hunt for Red October.
Also chatted with friends, did a bit of RP.
Oh, I logged in for about 10 minutes and got about 250xp...

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Sadly I didn't get much time to play this weekend... I did however get my Controller from 38 to 44... which is good considering I still lvl like a snail
Let's see:
In the morning I went for a 7Km walk, with Tai Chi practice in the middle.
Then, I lounged at the beach until lunch time.
In the afternoon I surfed the net and played Plants vs Zombies.
Around 6:30 pm lounged at the beach again.
Dinner, reading and then blissful sleep.
Haven't set foot in the game for a week now.

You do Tai Chi too? Cool! I recently picked up some of Dr Lam's DVD's and have been giving it a try. I'm currently still in the "feeling a little silly as I hold an invisible ball" stage, but my son's karate instructor also does Tai Chi classes, so thinking of attending...

You're both making me feel guilty. I desperately need to find a form of exercise I can do without shattering my joints with weight accumulated from too much beer and junk food, but the closest I can get to what you're doing is collecting a takeaway from the nearest Thai-Chi food emporium
As for dxp - the best bit was a very entertaining ITF. Didn't get as much done as most, I guess, but I never do. And Saturday night we caught up on some TV and introduced the nipper to the pleasures of Season One of both Chuck and Eureka.
Had a pretty good DXP weekend and even managed to avoid the normal burn out/cant decide which alt to level.
Managed to get my dark/ice tank a team and gained a few levels which was nice considering he's such pain to solo.
Also done a ITF with my SS/Invul brute on the Friday night it was great fun even if it went on into the very early hours of the morning.

Get a dog there great for exercise since getting our dog (a slightly mad border terrier) I've found i do much more walking at first it was normally just short walks but as the weathers improved I've been taking her to the local country parks and going for walks nothing massive just 5 or 7 km makes a nice change from the watch TV / Play PC evenings.
You could also get a Wii Fit tho i found it some what boring and much prefer to grab the headphones for my IPhone and take the dog out.
A dog would be great - except that I'd have to rebuild the wall and fence down one side of the back garden to stop him getting out and eating the neighbours! But that would be exercise in itself, I guess... 
Sounds perfect now get to work on that fence :P
Oh and to keep things almost on topic i forgot to add i (knowingly) teamed with my first formite during the late night TF
I didn't actually play much, in fact I spent more time here, on these new boards than in game. Got my Grav/Energy Dom up two levels, couple of badges, but that was about it.

Indeed. Been practising various forms for 7 years now. Don't worry, the feeling will never go away, you just get used to it. |

The style I'm doing presently is a lot more tame: the one I started with had combat too and I still can feel the place where my instructor cracked my rib after I defended 2 punches and one kick... somehow I ran out of limbs and the last punch got through! Fun! ^_^ Still it was awesome!At the beach, I do it in front of people: imagine who many odd looks and comments I get. Still, it's awesome and it really makes you feel good about yourself, your body and the universe. And just you wait until you start feeling that ball up and seeing in in various colours! All the best in your practice FFM, it really does wonders for body and mind.
Oh and sorry for the huge off-topic.

Got my Shade from 31 to 38 on Friday. Finished up with an ITF that fell apart in the next to last mission.
One of our defenders had to leave and we had a couple wipes on that damn console. We wound up having a Psi blaster sniping it so he wouldn't pull the bots' aggro. The AVs? No problem. The Cimerorans themselves? No problem. Just the damn meat-grinder console...
By that time it was like 2AM and everyone was fighting to keep from faceplanting into their keyboards.
Didn't get to play during the day Saturday (stupid family reunion!).
Saturday night, I took my BS/Regen scrapper from 1 to 20 in patches during a double-shift at work.
(Had to solo. I get pestered periodically and have to just stop, sometimes for 15-20 minutes. NOT going to ask teammates to put up with that, and I refuse to leech XP that way.)
Came home Sunday afternoon, took a quick nap, and then took my EM/Inv Brute from 3 to 16 (accidentally bypassed the second bank mish because I leveled to 15 in the last paper mission).
Apart from the soloing at work, I actually soloed the entire time. Mostly because when I was in the mood to play a certain toon, everyone else was playing something that didn't mesh level-wise (like wanting to run L40-50 TFs when I'm L37).
And I didn't want to bust out my 50's. If I'm going to grind through a double XP weekend, I'd MUCH rather grind on my lowbies.
Additionally, I did have lowbies I could have played in certain level ranges. But leveling quickly for them isn't what I'm looking for. Both of them are on the "Give me Merits or give me Death" track of hitting as many contacts as possible. And playing a DXP weekend on a toon that I'd have to turn the XP earnings OFF makes about as much sense as bringing your girlfriend with you to a house of ill repute.

Actually couldn't be bothered, Aion beta weekend took predecense

However, it turned out that Smith was not a time-travelling Terminator

sunday I tidied my flat and got rid of my old CRT tv.

I annoyingly forgot to play, but since Morgana was playing I think I got a few characters up to at least level 6 through being in a pact with one of her characters

Remade Impervium Tower from a SS/Elec to SS/Invul Brute and got him back to Lv 50 after starting Friday at Level 25.
Breifly played as Elveyn, the female alt version of Eleven on the SUnday night and got up to Lv 41.
Not a bad weekend overall.
Cheers to all I teamed with, in particular The Court red side for obvious reasons.

Myself?
I managed to level my Sonics Defender to 35, a MA/Invun scrapper to 34 and a Stone/Axe Tank to 33. Gained a few levels here and there with a few other toons, although mostly of note, I got a Brute to 20... I don't really have any other villains apart fom my Stalker.
Met some awesome people, chatted, did stuff and had fun.
How was it for you?
