Title: It's Friday the 13th...

What kind of bad luck are you giving your gaming opponents this weekend?

My laptop is back in action so I'm getting a healthy dose of Naval War, Shogun 2, and Warlock. w00t!

Seriously? I've got so many hours in on Skyrim that I may need to go into rehab  ::)

I got me The Drift 1879 - it's rather enthralling so far - AND it runs on my laptop - so I guess I'll be doing some of that this weekend. Also Some DCS Black Shark to keep some practice going.

I really enjoy rFactor2 but rather bored with the lack of content at the moment - I know it's still in beta - but I'm hoping for more content in the very near future.

Bouncing between Skyrim and FOTS. If only I could Dragon-Shout my enemies in Japan, and Gatling Gun my enemies in Skyrim.

Well Friday the 13th was a good day for me, one I looked forward to.  The completion of another trip around the sun  ;D

As for games last night it was all boardgames including a new one to me, Merchants and Marauders. (Lots of fun if you like the pirate thing)

Today will be some more boardgames and maybe some Skyrim.

Tomorrow will be BF3 and possibly some other games, not sure yet.

As I am reading the book Cain at Gettysburg, in a little mood for the American Civil war.  Think I am going to play a little Scorge of War and maybe a little bit of Tiller/HPS Civil War games.  And of course will have to give Wargame Escalation a whirl, if I ever figure out how to play it:)

I'll planning on playing some Legend of Grimrock, Naval War Arctic Circle and Team Fortress 2 over the weekend.

And start reading through the game manuals for Advance Squad Leader Start Kit and Lock and Load Band of Heroes.

I have been playing a shit ton of Mount and Blade Warband this weekend on the cRPG server.  It is such mindless fun.  For those of you who aren't familiar with cRPG, basically you create a character that starts out at level 1 and little gear and then you build experience and gold by playing online against other players.  You character is saved to your cRPG account so it's persistent.  As you gain gold and experience you level up and can buy better gear.  Eventually when your character gets too old, or you retire him, you can "heirloom" items to your next character or something like that. 

I can't believe how fun this is.  The "siege" map is more fun than the "battle" map because you can respawn in 30 seconds or less on the siege map but in battle you're out until the round is over.  This gives you a chance to fight a lot more and learn skills faster.  The first couple of levels were really tough, but I've finally got to level 21 (maybe 5 or 6 hours of playing?) and I bought a kick-ass Danish Greatsword that is just a beast.  And I'm getting better at the game so I can wade into enemies and start getting some kills.  I definitely encourage you to take a look at cRPG if you enjoy multiplayer M&B.

On the same note, I downloaded a few Warband mods as well- Europe 1200, and Mount and Blade 1257.

Been mostly unpacking and messing around with the games from my Noble Knight order.

I'll probably get in some BF3 later today, too.

I haven't played anything yet this weekend as the weather has been so nice. I may play a little Guns of Icarus tonight if I can.

I just bought and installed Crusader Kings 2 from Amazon.com.  I don't know if I'll get to it today, though.
