It's a short list for me this weekend: Birth of the Federation and more of the Crusader Kings 2 demo. Just pure sci-fi and medieval goodness!
Some D&D 4E goodness tonight. Since a few of our group are going to be late, I'll probably take a quick game for the rest of us to play while waiting. Leaning towards Eaten by Zombies or maybe Wiz War.
For the rest of the weekend, I am still punching and trying out the games of my last order. Hoping to try out Strike of the Eagle and perhaps Space Empires 4X. And a couple of friends want to try Chaos in the Old World, so that's a definite for tomorrow at some point.
And I'll probably load up Kingdom of Amalur. Wouldn't mind mixing in something else, so I might finally start up Batman : Arkham City...unless I am unable to ignore Crusader Kings 2 any longer.
Working like crazy on Gun-SLEDs to see if I can have a prototype for Cold Wars in a week. :o
I'm currently addicted to the open beta for Blacklight: Retribution - it's a really fun "spray and pray" sci-fi shooter. The beta is a rough one - lots of bugs and glitches - but the game still shines through.
Other than that: Crusader Kings 2 (amazing game) and Sins: Rebellion.
Crusader kings 2, Distant Worlds and probably some X3:AP
Just got the new computer, so it will likely be Skyrim and maybe some BMS Falcon 4.0.
(posting from a restaurant waiting for food)
Previews of Warlock and Naval War.
Shogun 2.
Maybe some minis gaming @ ny LGS.
I don't have much time this weekend but my choices are Skyrim, Shogun 2, Crusader Kings II, or BF3. Also I think there is the possibility of a boardgame or mini game night on Sunday, until Walking Dead comes on.
I love having tons of choices but I wish I had the time.
Midterms. :o How the hell did I end up back in school at 52? Bet I get some Skyrim and Panzer Corps in before the weekend is up though.
I *plan* to play Crusader Kings 2, Mass Effect 1 (replaying in anticipation of 3) and possibly Distant Worlds since there is a new beta patch. Though I've also been tempted to try Eve again, and there's World of Tanks, and another game I am currently an alpha tester for... Hmm I hope when I can retire in 24 years that there are still this many games to be played :)

Surely you have time to make a panty raid on a sorority this weekend?

You have no idea how even the thought of that lifts my spirits ;D
WINSPMBT, WINSPWW2, Mount and Blade: Warband, Red Orchestra 1...

Ooh! So Matrix managed to release it today after all? (Please say yes!)
Just got back to Canuckistan yesterday (only guy on the flight to Van who wasn't wearing a turban/only guy to be singled out for "special" treatment in the private room at immigration..I love my country... >:()
Think I'm going to play some Shogun 2 and maybe some Arma 2.

<chuckle>
We live in an age where common sense is an uncommon virtue.
I've got plans to play a couple of scenario's from WaW, maybe Blood and Bridges, and still trying to get FSX to run - almost sure I need a new GPU - and tonight we'll be watching an episode of Farscape, which both me and the missus love. We got the whole 4 seasons plus Peacekeeper wars from amazon.
And, I'm deep into 'Thunder Run' by David Zucchino at the moment. This is an amazing story.
Not much time this weekend either...I am heading out right now to a beer festival held at the regimental armory of the legendary Fighting 69th [US Army National Guard]. That's a decent grog substitute eh?
Once I get home if I am not totally blitzed out of my gourd I plan to wrap up my Ikko Ikki campaign, notched up as a loss, then study the other clans to figure out which one I can get a win with. Maybe some Vessel too if I can get my review copy to work.
All that matters this weekend is the destruction of Nemeroth in Warhammer: Space Marine. The rest, maybe some civ4 multiplayer with the groghead boys, is just gravy on the filet mignon.

Yup! I downloaded it but haven't had a chance to give it a whirl.
I renewed my subscription to Aces High 2 and I've been flying that quite a bit today. Man, it's amazing how quickly those skills deteriorate!
I'm not digging Skyrim as much as I had hoped. It looks beautiful but, damn, I HATE starting over from scratch. I keep thinking of all that work I already did...having to start over...ugh. It's really put a damper on my Skyrim playing this weekend.
I'm considering rolling back to Fallout 3, or just finishing Oblivion.

Oh, your old computer died, so you don't have access to your old saves, right? That does suck hugely. Sorry, bro.
Dawn of War, Supreme Commander, Panzer Corps PBEM, Armada PBEM with Martok.

Toonces,

Did you save your old harddrive? you may be able to hook it up as an external and then search it for old game saves if
you can google what the files look like. There have to be other people out there who have had to do the same. If not
Skyrim, then perhaps Oblivion and maybe they use a similar save structure and you can follow the same steps.
Here's one thread somewhere:

Skyrim now that I finally have XP running on my Macbook.
I'm playing a beta of Arctic Circle for a preview.
^Looking forward to your preview! :) Oh, and playing some Sins of a Solar Empire SOA2 mod and of course World of Tanks.
I'm living in two worlds this weekend--World of Tanks and World of WarCraft.
+1 On looking forward to a Bismarck Arctic Circle preview.

Sweet. Now I know what I'll be doing on my "weekend" off (Monday & Tuesday night)...
Spending the weekend with Saints row: The third and Conquest of Elysium.
waiting all of the weekend for Barthhearts turn in our pbem epic in Decisive Campaigns Warsaw to Paris.
had to play with the kids instead >:(
I actually managed to get in one solo WaW scenario, number 6 from DoFP, for some reason, had not played that one before - its a good 'un.
Almost finished reading Thunder Run - hardly able to put it down - incredible story.
