Probably more Lords of the Realm 2 and beta-testing.

Wow. That's a nice throwback!
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Aye.  It's a fun little beer-and-pretzels medieval strategy game, which is what I'd been in the mood for the last few days.

I went over to the Forums at Gamesquad and was delighted to see a forum for JTS Napoleonic Battles - as someone referred me to there from here i think or at Wargamer, i forget.

If you like PBEM, I highly encourage you to join one of these sites.

The blitz host HPS/Tiller, as well as several other games for PBEM and IP gaming.

I've actually been replaying some 1776 and French and Indian War to look at getting back into some PBEM.

I'm not sure what I'll play this weekend.  Far Cry 3 and one of my HPS titles most likely.

Rift - if I can even get in or dailies/events in GW2.
CardHunter - just got the Beta invite, got check this out.

Driving to Paris to work at the Air Show but im armed with laptop so there will be

AOW - Shadow Magic til my eyes bleed (there isnt a lot to do at the show)

Dom III PBEMs - down to just the 4 now and really enjoying 2 of them - tried some SP but its so souless as an SP experience - theres such an air of trepidation and wonder about sending in a turn for PBEM but SP theres none of that magic

Send in a CMBN turn

Im driving down at 250am, so its an early night, but before i go to bed there will be a quick bash on Airland Battle on 10 v 10 now JH has told me how to call in airstrikes

I've got one more city to capture to win ETW's American Revolution campaign and I think every guy in the British army between me and it. I also have been to make another honest try at finishing Icewind Dale 2. There's this giant Black Dragon who won't let me get past him. Or her. I haven't gotten close enough to tell yet. But if I see one Father's Day war movie, I may chuck it all and play CMFI.

Ah!  Yes CKII.  I will be playing that.  Why it seems only yesterday I was a craven Khazak Khan who was clubbed into incapacity by the Byzantines on a field of victorious battle.  Since I had been hit in the head, I let my son out of jail and died and then he got all the credit for
beating the Byzantines.  BUT he had the Duchy of Novograd so now the Khazaks are expanding up there and giving up on Georgia.

I'm really fascinated with the endless, fairly plausible narratives the game generates.

Otherwise the usual:  ARMAIII, the Burning Blue and CLOD.

Oche

So far i have in mind playing WINSPMBT & WINSPWW2; Strike Fighters 2; RTW (Rome Total Realism Mod Platinum Ed); and some flights in FSX.

I will be checking out the VoidDestroyer playable alpha now that I've got it working...and not sure what else.

I'm sitting on the fence on this one.

On the one hand I'm thinking of hooking up the wheel and pedals to get some F1: 2012 in.  On the other hand, I have an urge to feed my inner Civil War general with Scourge of War and/or HPS: Gettysburg, as well as my usual late-night Rising Storm gaming.

I wish there was an easy way to plug and play the wheel/pedal combo.

Screw it, I'm going to hook up the wheel and pedals now and it will be waiting for me when I get done work.

Mr. Bigglesworth

Maybe a little SCII Zerg campaign. I confess I am having trouble getting into it. The campaigns in SC1, including Broodwar were great. SCII was pretty good. This one feels a bit like a rat in a maze. It is all too narrowly scripted (im on 4th or 5th mission). I have tended to kill the game to play vs AI maps in custom games.

1)  A few more turns with Tuna for our PBEM for CMBN.

2)  In the spirit of watching the US Open, continue to play Action PC Golf...at least I am good at golf in this game versus real life:)

3)  Gunslinger - besides Action PC Golf, might be my game of the year so far.
