Crap, I failed to notice we didn't have one of these yesterday! 

And what's up with no one else having started a Friday thread?  Must I do everything myself??  Sheesh...  :P 



Anyway, I'm continuing my normal PBEM campaigns in Armada 2526 Supernova.  Most of my games are going well so far, although a couple of them are still too new to know how well they're going to to yet.  Included in that latter group is a very crowded game with ArizonaTank and another fellow named finebone (he mostly only frequents the game's homepage); this one is going to be a real knife-fight! 

Next up, I'm doing a little "old school" (at least relatively speaking) RTS action with Earth 2150.  Haven't played this one in a loooooong time, so we'll see how I do! 

Rounding out my gaming is -- not surprisingly -- more Distant Worlds: Legends with the recently-released beta patch.  The biggest change with the latest update is improvements in AI ship design.  It's still too early for me to tell how much of a difference it makes in that area, but I have noticed my advisors (most of whom I have set to "Suggest") have been more frequent in recommending that I upgrade my ships when new technology becomes available.

Still trying to wrap up my Shogun II Ikko Ikki campaign. I came very close to being snuffed out completely and now I am on a rampage of destruction, vanquishing the clans who raped me in the first place. Then I plan on returning to Skyrim for a bit. Also some modded Civ 4 and NTW, as well as some Vessel. Also planning on buying Fallout: New Vegas Complete and Necrovision.

Mostly Mass Effect 3, with a bit of Crusader Kings 2 mixed in.  Continuing my PBEM game of War in the Pacific with Jomni.

I was brutally sick this week 103 fever for days...being stuck in bed and with daytime TV such as it is...I was SOOO thankful that Mass Effect 3 came out.  :)

For me, a little bit of CMBN:Commonwealth and Deus Ex whenever it stops downloading:)

Tootled about on FSX for a bit in an OV10 Bronco, and then played a small WaW scenario from Op Garbo.

I'm very tempted by the new CM game though, having played the original 3 more than any other PC wargame, with the possible exception of the Steel Panther stuff.

The graphics look good, but does it play as well as the originals?

I like the new CM game, but you don't have to take my word for it since they have a demo available for the base game:)  Give it a shot.

I played some Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear boardgame last night.  Tonight and tomorrow I might play some BF3, Minecraft or Shogun II.  I really should sit down and get some work done on my miniature projects though.

Just finished the castle battle tutorial for Shogun 2 and won it but what a blood bath! Earlier I played some PBEM Armada 2526 and now for some World of Tanks to get my 3x experience. Later some Batman! :D Damn but the weekend is too short. :/

Maybe it's because everyone is playing the same games they were playing last weekend and the weekend before that? I know I am.  ;)

As usual I will be playing World of WarCraft and World of Tanks with some single player games at various intervals between the two.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

I have played CoE, Saints Row 3 and some Evechron Mercenaries (damn hard and i hate it!! :P).
I just downloaded Call of Warhammer 1,5 for MTW II, now renamed to Rage of Dark Gods. Gonna take that for a spin in a bit.
