Will no doubt forge ahead on my XCOM and Great Invasions campaigns this weekend.
Maaaayyyyyy look into getting Far Cry 3 for my Playstation3. (Edited to add: assuming it's released online already, which I seem to recall being the case. But that may have been preorder.)
I recently picked up FC1 and 2 for PC on a Gamersgate sale, however, and have never played either of them yet, so may play 1.
Endless Space - Still investigating the latest patch. Things are looking up so far...
Dunno what else yet.

Fall of the Samurai and ATS Stonne Heights (a boardgame).
Also dunno yet.....
Hopefully some Warlock MP tonight.....
.... kinda burned out...... gotta fight buying something new when like this...... :P
It's going to be:
Gemini Wars, mission 15 and my new Armada 2526 campaign, leading the Teyes and supporting my Human allies...
I will mostly be playing Skyrim. All the graphic mods I run were causing me to have issues in game so I bought a new PSU and GTX 570HD over the holiday weekend. After fixing the issues Skyrim, like all Bethesda games, has with SLI, I'm ready to push Skyrim to look even better. I'd like to play some CK2, Diablo 3, or X-Com, but I have to work this weekend so I doubt I'll have the time.
XBOX
History: Legends of War Patton (it's not that bad actually but don't pay full price for it)
Gears of War (second playthrough in an attempt to get as many Insane level cheevos)
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier (gotta play at least on of the Raven Strike missions that I recently purchased)
Operation Darkness (now that I finally beat mission 19 with a new winning formula I may have to spend some time again with this)
PC
Commander: The Great War (I'm not sure if I'm going to play though. Kind of turned off by watching the AI field hordes of units while I can barely build enough boy scouts with pea shooters to man the line)
iPAD
World At Arms by Gameloft (brilliant build up your base and attack people on line game. It's a time sink for sure!)
I'll probably see what multiplayer games pop up and see if I can join one of them.

Im wrapping up 2 GC's with PitF and started a FSA gc for a compare and contrast.
I forgot I have some MP in PitF to do.
Oh, Bison. SWTOR? I'm ashamed of you!
Several different MP games of Warlock with various personages on Grogheads. Civ IV BTS MP with a couple of friends on Sunday morning.
I am undecided what I am going to be playing this weekend. Maybe some Civ5, Warlock, CK2, WoW, HoI3, and/or something else.

What!?! How can you not enjoy playing a Sith Lord?
MP: Warlock and hopefully a game of Space Marine.
SP: Toy Soldiers, Over Flanders Fields - Hat in the Ring, and maybe start a new game of Commander: The Great War.
Also looking at maybe starting a new campaign of Medieval 2: Total War with the Third Age mod or Stainless Steel. Have a few historical fiction books queued up set in the middle ages and its got me juicing.

Greybriar, come join us in some Warlock! And if you ever want to MP HOI3, I would be glad to look into it as well :-)
I am working most of the weekend and tomorrow night is boardgame night. However, I would like to try and get in the last episode of The Walking Dead game. Also I trying to learn SOTS:II, we'll see how that goes. If I get anything else in that will be gravy :)
To scratch my tacticular itch, CMBN. To scratch my strategic itch, Third Age TW. And if I feel like just killing stuff, Skyrim. Along with some wings and a good football game.
Building my interstellar mercenary navy financed by illegal drugs in X3:AP
Just lost my a$$ in the second chancellorsville scenario in scourge of war. On to 3. Would have been nice if Slocum would have continued east to support my right flank...but alas, my flank collapsed. Great game

Right now
Warlock is crashing on me after I've played it a little while (about 30 minutes, maybe an hour, I'm not sure--I'll have to make a note of the time the next time I start to play it). I'm no computer techie, but I suspect it's a memory leak. Are any of you having a similar problem with it?
As for HoI3, I'm ashamed to say that I really haven't gotten into this game for quite some time. I have purchased and installed all the expansions to keep it up to date though. How playable is it since
Their Finest Hour has been out for awhile?
Between the two, I'd vote for
Warlock. I would ever prefer it to Civ5 as the pace is much faster.
Hopefully, MD and I will get to do some more of our Warlock MP game.
I believe today will finally be the day where I buy and play the Great War by matrix.
I plan on punching holes in paper in a most expensive and inefficient method.

I haven't played HOI3 in about a year. I don't have any of the expansions past the first one. I just played the hell out of Doomsday and I saw someone else mention they were playing, so, I offered to join them :-)
As for Warlock, I haven't had that trouble. Of all the games I have involved myself in over the lastweek or so, the biggest trouble we had was being locked out for about twenty minutes when Windi hit Alt-Tab to check out Grogheads during one of my turns. We were both booted after he tried to get back in and it took us seven or eight tries to get back in together. Eventually, we did and played on for another hour or so with no problems.
I own Civ V, but have not played it yet :-( I kknow, as much as I love IV, you would think I would have jumped on V, but with Warlock taking up most of my gaming time recently , I have played it exclusively.

I think you're correct. It has been regularly crashing on me without warning after I play for 2 hours or so. And then I have to replay a few turns when I start again, which is a pain since they take a while at the stage of development I've reached.

I only had it crash on me once with my gaming rig.. was able to start right back up.. been swapping between my gaming rig and laptop during the game, and finished my first game last night. Was surprised when it ended (I killed the last wizard), I thought I was going to have to go to the other worlds?.. Maybe I'll restart and leave the last Wizard alive, to see what's up in the other worlds..

What!?! How can you not enjoy playing a Sith Lord?
Well, I have a Sith Lady. She's hot. :D
It's a crap game though. Fair enough if you enjoy it, but I found it to be incredibly boring - astonishingly so, considering the amount of money spent on it. I was briefly interested when they announced free to play, but the restrictions on free accounts are insulting.
Now that I'm up and about (more or less), I've finally gotten a chance to unpack and play the new Legendary (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/129437/legendary-a-marvel-deck-building-game) deck builder. So far, me likey.
Don't know what else I'll get to this weekend. Maybe a bit of something simple like Bronze or Frozen Synapse that's pretty easy to play.
Is the downing of Nyquil a game?
Downing of NyQuil is a game but it assumes that you have lost already just by starting it.

I dunno, I tend to win at the game of "What in the Hell did I dream about?!" after downing some Nyquil.
