Skyrim - Restarted my ranger earlier in the week after I was getting Thallmor attacks on me every 5 minutes. A little understandable, I did ambush one of their prisoner patrols when I was around level 3-4. Ran into a squad of them last night in my current game and they turned and attacked me, not really sure why. Guess I'm just going to have to deal with them. Playing with the Realistic Needs and Disease's and Frostfall mods. I turned the Frostfall exposure rate percentage up to 1.5x normal (normal 1.0x). Combined with not spending much time in towns, its turned Skyrim into a good survival game. If I can find the time, I need to do a little work on my Skyrim mod as well.

FC:RS - After numerous restarts, I finished my first full scenario last night. Was some of the most fun I've had with a strategy game in a long time. Going to make another attempt at both Test of Wills and Time to Dance scenarios. Thank you goes to Longblade for helping answer a few questions I had about game mechanics. And yes Longblade, I'm going to rtfm this weekend.  ::)

Command - Lots of modding to do. Finish up my RSR Keflavik Raid. Was starting to doubt whether to release it or not. After play testing myself I didn't think it was all that much fun. Had someone test it last night who said they thought it was fine. Going to update it for the current DB's and write the briefing and it should be good to go. Also going to finish forming the last four current carrier strike groups that I've been building as a modder's resource. After that I will start work on year/deployment specific versions of the CVSG's. Once I release my RSR Keflavik scenario I need to start work on my second one. I'm thinking the next one will involves a lot of backfires, missiles, and maybe a US CV or two....

I would like to start the ArmA 3 campaign, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to run out of time

Probably putter around a bit more in Skyrim but my eye is wandering.

Don't let your eye wander, just let Skyrim draw you in.
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

I've been playing Paths to Exile this morning.  What an outstandingly fun action RPG.

I expect to be working and day dreaming about being some place else.

Where are you now? maybe we can switch

lol -- i see what you did there --

By the way, thanks Judge Dredd -- now I can't get "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" out of my head...

Lately I've been playing ARMA II for some reason, and will probably continue this weekend.  Good stuff, and doesn't feel outdated at all with with ARMA III out there --

Combat Mission Beyond Overlord ... loving this game again.  When the series first came out, I didn't really give them the attention they deserved, so I'm diving in learning how to properly play the game.   Before that I'd just either get lucky and win, or get my troops massacred.   Now I'm giving them a chance to win AND live.   ;-)

Not going to be able to play the other 2 old ones without the latest paid patch because of some graphical problems due to my ATI card.   At some point i'll cave and buy all 3 patches, since I'll have to get off XP at some point.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion with the 1.80 patch and the new Stellar Phenomenon DLC possibly some more Smugglers V as that has just had a patch as well and / or Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes and possibly some Civ V if I can track down the mods Gusington mentioned.

How are you "diving in learning"? I get the "diving in" bit...but what are you using to learn? Manuals? Videos? AARs?

  It's so true.  ARMAII is a fantastic game.  Really not outdated in any way.  I had some trouble sticking to ARMAIII, but I finally found a part of Altis that seems enough like an ARMAII landscape.  PLUS there's starting to be enough variety in ARMAIII -- but I was very tempted to go back to ARMAII until this latest flurry of stuff arrrived in the game.

Wow, there are games out there other than Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes??  Who knew?  :P

Forum posts, tutorials, AArs, and the strategy guide that was available for CMBB.
