.
I have Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition and Crysis 2 coming my way. Not sure which I will play first.
A bit of NWAC testing. Maybe some Fallen Enchantress. 8)
Lots of NWAC !!!
WoW, WoT, EVE, Civ4, Civ4 Colonization, and the beta of Diablo III. I'm not sure what else.
Commands & Colors: Napoleonics
A buddy & I will be trying out the Quatre Bras scenario.

Lots of Shogun 2 for me now that I got it running OK :-))
Gonna spend some quality time with Lydia killing bandits & looting their dead corpses in Skyrim. We don't play with their dead bodies and pose them in different positions like I know some of you weirdos do. Though I do give them an extra whack or two sometimes to make sure they're not playing possum. As Lydia's Thane, I must set a good example for her.
I'm not even going to kid myself. I will spend 90% of my time playing some version of Mount and Blade, probably hopping between cRPG and Napoleon online.
All those other games are solidly in the maybe pile. I have been feeling an urge to get into the air some with Rise of Flight, but it's just so much trouble to pull out the HOTAS and get everything set up when I can just log on to M&B and get instant satisfaction.
Skyrim and King Arthur are also potentially on the gaming list.
Finally, I installed Lionheart: King's Crusade last week, just in case I get a Crusades urge this weekend. I'd like to get back into gaming that era.
Trying to finish Mass Effect 3, but the "Galaxy at War" piece that basically forces you to play multiplayer to get a decent single player outcome is really pissing me off.
So instead, I'll likely be playing NWAC.
With the release of a major patch and DLC, I am back to Crusader Kings 2 (best strategy game I ever played!). I also resubed to Eve Online as I felt in a spacey mood. :)
I'm on Army Reserve duty all weekend. :'(
Naval War Arctic Circle.
I just got a small army of 15 mm armor in (finally) so I'll be filing and assembling minis for a while.
Shogun 2, Wargame: European Escalation.
That should cover the weekend.

Three Panthers, six tigers, three jagdpanthers, three wirbelwinds, and three PaK 43's.
Oh, and three Tiger II's. Porsche turrets, just because they're less common. w00t!
Wings of Prey, Crusader Kings and maybe Skyrim.
Steam ran amuck and downloaded the new patch right over all of my carefully modifed NWAC data files. Had to go back in and redo all of the guns and a handful of missiles. At least it works now.

Doh!
NWAC, after I mod missile hit percentages. I think SAMs are to accurate vs incoming missiles.
I'm also going to attempt to actually start a game of Aurora this weekend. I normally open it up, mess with some ship designs then quit after having accomplished nothing.
Crusader Kings II with the new patch
I'll be now also mixing in some Battlefield 3 this weekend.
Last night was Gamma World night. Going to try to get in some Band of Brtoehrs (FINALLY arrived!) and Dawn of the Zeds on the board game front. Maybe some Summoner Wars as well, since I picked up a few new faction packs.
Digitally, I'll keep at FEAR 3 and probably play some BF3 as well.
^How is FEAR 3?

I'm actually liking it so far. After you play through the level as the usual character, you can go back and replay them as a sort of spectral version of Paxton Fettel from the first game. Haven't done so yet, but he apparently plays VERY differently. There are also some unlocks in single player that will give you more ammo, more melee attacks and the like. It works pretty well.
Yeah I read about that. I was looking at some shooters this week and that was one. I played the original to the end, never played the sequel.

I liked the sequel as well, though it was really just a prettier version of the first game with you playing a new character.
I'd suggest waiting for Steam's summer sale and grabbing both of them for cheap.
^Is FEAR 3 scary?

I don't know that I've played any game I would call scary, so I'm not exactly a great person to answer that question. ;D Though the occasional moment when the little girl version of Alma pops up just watching you could certainly be called creepy.
The only time in the whole trilogy that I've been scared had nothing to do with the horror aspects. It was the first time in the first game that you come face to face with one of those heavy walkers with the rocket launchers. Up until then, the ones the enemy refers to as 'heavies' are dudes in power armor with the bolt guns. So I go strolling up to the clamshell doors after clearing out the abandoned hotel, and BOOM! They explode inwards, and in strides this mech thing spewing high explosive projectules as it charges in at nearly the same speed I run at. And I'm fleeing away as fast as I can, tossing proximity mines at my feet and cursing loudly the entire time.
The exact same thing happened to me! But Alma did freak me out too. As did the 'psychic storms' the player has as you advance.
the last three weeks i played WoT like mad. went from the traktor to a fully upgraded Pz IV with a 100% crew: a killing machine!
then i took the TD path to the Hetzer and to the Stug III... a little less fun. but now i could see me play that game for weeks on
and it scared me how addicted i got. so i deinstalled it and do my turn by turn Decisive Campaigns Warsaw to Paris pbem. and for
once it looks like Bathheart is just a normal living being like so many of you. a little slow one could say.
