Friday PM and Sat AM...I will be at the Trumpeter Salute game con in Burnaby BC.  Hoping to play some Supremacy of the Seas tonight, and perhaps some Legends of the Old West tomorrow AM.
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

Fall of the Samurai for me...maybe some Ageods ACW with the new mega patch.

Bison, I believe the naval bombardment of tactical battles is a little much, but nothing the modders cant handle. As for naval v. naval, I dont find it overpowered at all. I mean, explosive shells will utterly destroy wooden ships...just like real life (although there are complaints on the forums) so get iron clads.

Either way, watching naval artillery shells coming down on the enemy's newly formed up line of infantry is just plain ol' fun.

Halo: Reach (trying to get a couple of achievements completed)
Dynasty Warriors 7


PC:

Dawn of War II
Dawn of War II: Retribution (just picked this up last week and haven't had a chance to test drive yet)
Battlefield Heroes

Going to try out Trapped Dead and probably some more Arkham City on the PC. In the board game realm, more Sentinels of the Multiverse, probably some Gears of War (your damn review video got me jazzed to play it again, SoM!) and perhaps I'll make an attempt at learning Space Infantry.

Mostly EVE Online this weekend.
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 picked up DAO and hmm ME1. Been fooling about with both. Have to say though after playing DAO a bit I really appreciate the open world of Skyrim much more now. DAO seems like a NWN expansion.

Board game night last night with friends included Pandemic and Citadel.

Probably some Shogun 2 RotS and maybe some Minecraft.

I finally got all the stickers on my Command and Colors game so maybe I'll get that out and see if I could get the rules down.

I'd been playing around a bit with Hannibal: Rome & Carthage the last day or two. 

However, I'm going to be pretty busy today & tomorrow, so I probably won't have much time for gaming.  My Armada 2526 Supernova PBEM campaigns are the only ones likely to get any attention from me -- if that.

What mods are you using?

Well it depends.  If I feel like just playing the game with some revamping to the tax and relations systems, I play diplomacy.  A small little mod to vanilla.  I've also been playing with Floris Expanded which is a great mod that add a ton to the vanilla game like a entirely new character creation system, but I'm not convince that I installed it correctly on the computer.  I'm getting some texture issues.  Native expansion is another mod that add to vanilla that I've been playing around with too.

However, the mod I've been trying to advance in this weekend is called Brytenwalda.  It takes the M&B system and places it into dark ages England and Ireland.  It is freaking brutal.  I'm playing a wandering Germanic celtic priest in Ireland.  It's not going well at all.

Funny enough, I've been playing a bit of Mount and Blade this weekend to.  Everyone raves about it so much, I'm just determined to keep trying it until I start having fun and see what all the hype is about.

That Brytenwalda mod sounds really interesting...google, here I come!

Toonces it is not for the faint of heart.  You will die...a lot.  You will get pissed...a lot.  But when you finally win a battle, it's great!

FWIW...played a couple of tabletop miniature wargames this week - specifically Supremacy at Sea and Legends of the Old West at Trumpeter Salute.  Lots of fun had by all.  LotOW is a simple game but was quite the hoot!  Definately looking forward to another round one day.

Hey Bison,
I got in a bit of Brytenwalda last night.  About 5 seconds after leaving the first castle I got attacked, surrendered, lost all of my silver, clothes and weapons, and got dumped off in some foreign country. 

Yes, it does seem like a tough mod!

However, it definitely seems like it is more in line with what I am looking for from Mount and Blade.  Thanks for mentioning it! 

I'm going to need to start a new character, but within 20 minutes of starting my first campaign I was in a 200+ vs. 200+ battle.  Nice!
