Well the pumpkins are carved. The kids costumes laid out for tomorrow. The candy bags all opened and properly sampled to make sure that it's safe to give out to random strangers. Not sure what I'll play tomorrow. Tried some L4D2, but I think I'm beyond that one at this point. So I'll most likely play some Sid Meier's Beyond Earth and finish setting up the team mods for my latest OOTP 15 game.
Shadow of Mordor for at least a few more days, some AoWIII and then time for a decision...Wings! reboot or Rome 2 Armenia...

My will to not buy Shadow of Mordor is going to break soon. I'm really hoping to make it to Christmas and it goes on some awesome Steam sale.
Working nights sadly.
Some Shadow of Mordor, some Pride of Nations PBEM, and some Zafehouse Diaries.
I won my hobbits game in AOW III. Everyone surrendered to me. It was pretty fun! Going to try another one and go for a non-military victory next time.
^I'm about to get pummeled as an orc dreadnought in my campaign, which is why I've been avoiding it and playing Shadow of Mordor in the meantime. I need to not be exhausted and have my wits about me to absorb the human attack and then retaliate.
Bison I got Shadow of Mordor for about 35.00 from GMG.
My next game purchase will be Dragon Age: Inquisition unless I break and get something at the scary Steam sale. Oh and Magnifico if it comes on sale soon.
Civ:BE, BASPM, and more of the Sovereignty beta if a new build comes out tomorrow.
Stuck in a Civ IV solo game right now as Zara Yaqob of Ethiopia. The VC is Time. It's 1816 and I am still in the tech race, although, Mansa Musa is threatening to widen the gap beyond my ability to catch. Julius Caesar, and his whipping boy, Suryavarman, declared war on me about fifteen turns ago. I am in the process of upgrading my troops from Riflemen to Infantry to combat the Cuiriassiers and Macemen they are throwing at me.
Im planning a Shogun2 Ikki campaign on Gus settings.
Im going for a 10 turn win. ;)
I jest. almost all of my WoT tank crews are within 1% of there next skill set so I'll be grinding them. it doesn't sound like much but that last 1% on the 4th skill is about 60,000 xp. :-\
New CM:RT and on-going JTS Renaissance/Battle of Pavia with PanzerDe.
The Wings! re-boot is nice in short spurts.
Couple games of Thunder Alley -- likely with two different groups.
And I still owe myself a battle of Cape Ortegal...either with Flying Colours or AoS I.
Best,
Jim
"Cyrano"

Some ROF multi-player, if the servers are jumping again this weekend.
Also some single-player with that or quite possibly WOFF. I prefer the latter for campaigning, by far, but I do need some more gunnery practice in ROF. A quandary.
On the table:
May punch and clip counters for Bloody April and get that on the table. Just finished consuming the rules.
I'm all about WWI flying again! 8)

I may be giving Fallout 3 a workout this weekend...
Aw hell. As soon as I said that, I buckled for the EU4 expansion. >:D
And the TOME expansion too, since it's so inexpensive. Damn fine indie RPG, that. O0
Played a few more turns. Suryavarman has captured one of my cities, Matara, which has changed hands at least three times each since the war began and Julius has landed troops outside the other city on the same island as Matara, Libyan. And to top it all off, Boudica, my bordering neighbor in the West, has taken the opportunity to declare war on me as well. A Great Prophet was born and IMMEDIATELY a Golden Age begun. I switched to Police State, Nationhood and Theocracy, and will be spamming units for a short while to cover the Celtic incursion. BITCH!!
If you all will permit a moment of gleeful gloating, I'm not quite sure what to play after beating the Kick-Ass AI in Decisive Campaigns WtP-- Case Sea Lion. And 3 turns early to boot. Those of you who've played this game may not be impressed but for me it's something of a gaming high-point. I thought Sea Lion was impossible to win but after steadily plugging away at the Brits, all the pieces came together and I got the win. This game is so good I hate to think it's all over now that the campaign is finished. :'( Maybe onto Case Blue.

I really need to look into this more. I bought EUIV during the latest sale but only spend about 5 minutes with it to make sure it worked. My understanding is the new DLC is more of a militaristic add-on? I'm intrigued- I'm all about lots of fighting and forget all that nation building crap- but it seems kind of out of character for these types of games.
Looks like a rainy weekend so no yard work and lots of gaming. Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas (I can't decide which) is on the menu once I finish Bioshock.
Since tonight it Halloween, I may play some Project Zomboid or State of Decay.
Rest of the weekend will the some mix of Command, KSP, Wasteland 2, Xenonauts, and EUIV.
Hopefully more Beyond Earth, a few more turns of Pride of Nations and I still need to continue my Civ4 WWI AAR at some point.

Two people doing things that I might do! Maybe some RoF. Maybe some aerial boardgames.

I might do some Flying Colors. Plus Rof. Plus the pacific thing. Plus the Mig21 in DCS.
Possibly some 4X with one of Civ:BE, AoWIII, Civ V, and Endless Legend. Also I will put some more time into WoW, trying to finish levelling a mage before the new expansion arrives in November. Perhaps I will spend some time with Diablo 3 as well and finish levelling my Witch Doctor so I have I full set of level 70s.
Playing Horizon (space 4X), Euro Truck Simulator, might play some HOI3 Black Ice as UK.
I'm getting my butt kicked by Julius Caesar in the Cesar versus Pompeii Civil War in a AJE. Thought I was smart sending all of my legions into southern Italy Sicily and Northern Africa in an attempt to prevent Caesar from moving his forces out of Spain. What I didn't count on was that Caesar was already in Rome at the time and simply jumped across into Greece where I have no more legions. He is now running roughshod over my allies in the Peloponnesus while I'm screwing around in Italy fighting his little do-boys
Well I spent my morning off napping and getting my Jedi guardian in swtor to lvl 55.
Wasteland 2....on my third start, I think I got the character creation right this time.
Finally playing Fallout 3 after I bought it two years ago. Currently doing the Point Lookout DLC quests right now. This is a great game!
Also playing a CRMT PBEM.
Raided the Candy Bowl once Trick or Treat was over!
Did some PBEM turns with SDR and UCG..
Now watching Zombieland on TBS >:D

I'm leveling a Jedi Guardian also (30 right now), but honestly I am thinking this story line is rather ho-hum. I played the Sith Warrior story line and greatly enjoyed it, but I can't seem to connect with the JG one. Does the second half of the story get better?
I might just move onto the Imperial Agent campaign.
proof that its always more fun to be evil. >:D O0 O:-)

I keep getting their Expansion pack pre-order spam. They adding anything noteworthy?
I never really went back to check out the PvP situation since the first few months after release. I fired it up after going free-to-play just to see how much of a mess that made but didn't check out the PvP zone. Maybe I should eventually.
Spent two hours trick or treating with junior as a jawa
Had a few turns of ProN pbem - fine tuning the economy and what i can of the military until unification fires
There will be elite beta 3 and some Rome 2 Armenia

I enjoyed the story line. I has some nice twists once you get toward the end of chapter 2 and through 3. In the end, I really just wanted a light saber wielding tank or DPS to run flashpoints and operations with my guild.

I like the game so for me yes. Level cap increase. New operation and flashpoints. Equipment reset and upgrades. The big one is they have redone the skill trees, so that is the great mystery. How that affects characters and builds. I suspect not much, but we'll see in a few weeks. If you didn't like the game before I'm not sure it'd change your mind, but like most games patches and updates change the gameplay from release to now.
So far I've mainly been playing The Last Federation. When you invest some time and patience into it, it suddenly all comes together and is a really quite brilliant game, possibly even my favourite by Arcen Games. I did pick up Spacecom but then found out that it's another of those that don't allow saving mid-mission and is thus, as far as I'm concerned, broken. >:(
Definitely more
Medieval Total War/Viking Invasion. My newly-expanded kingdom of Aragon is starting to get its feet under itself, and is already taking the first steps towards what will eventually become the reconquest of the Iberian peninsula for Christendom. 8)
Am also in the mood for (surprise, surprise! ::) ) a little sci-fi/space 4x action. Probably
Distant Worlds or
Pandora, but I haven't made up my mind yet.

Was there supposed to have been a new build of
Sovereignty yesterday? I really need to get back into that one.
