I will be continuing my Avernum Escape From the Pit campaign. I'm not very far yet, so I am looking forward to leveling up considerably. I'll also get some Civ IV BTS MP going, as per usual.
I've gotten myself back into Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I got about mid-way through after initial release and then just got distracted by other things. I'm plowing through now and hope to finish it over the next couple of weeks. I need to start finishing some of these big story based SP games so I can free up some badly needed hard drive space.
Playing some Chivalry MP and want to find out how to host a game for GH players. Also wrapping up Skyrim and the M2TW Britannia campaign. Looking forward to starting Dark Souls once my XBox controller arrives and also looking forward to a new Third Age TW and Shogun 2 campaign.
Trying to get in on a Chivalry MP game and perhaps get the last episode of the The Walking Dead.

There is a new Third Age TW?? Is it for M2TW or Shogun 2?
I need to finish my P-40 Warhawk model as I've just taken ownership of my 1:35 Trumpeter Challenger II and I'm excited to get started on it (never made an AFV before)
Also I said I'd be doing an AAR for Thunderbolt Apache Leader and trying not to screw this one up...but that depends on whether my new boardgame World at War Blood and Bridges arrives.
If I do have any time to play a computer game, it'll likely be Far Cry 3 - a game which I think might be challenging the most EVER hours I've put into a game.
CMBN-- Doing the German campaign now and for a little strategy, re-visited my old ETW Britain-save where it's time to do a D-Day invasion of India. But Skyrim's calling my name again and I love Lydia's tight new Orc armor.
Still plugging away on Kingdoms of Amalur... 58 hours in and just starting the 3rd of 7 zones (with DLC). Also, finally going to make a concerted effort to learn WITE. Though I'm listening to an audiobook about Guadalcanal that's making me itch to give WITP another shot....
Far Cry 3eeing it this weekend on my XBOX. Great engaging game.
More Distant Worlds: Legends, I think. Would also love to play some Neverwinter Nights if I can get it running again.
Really looking forward to more messing about with the Arma II and Iron Front Normandy editors. Have nearly finished the pilot rescue mission just trying to work out the 'end mission' triggers - the mission has taken an unexpected turn since adding a spec ops marksman who lays waste to the opposing force with great ease - so im working out how to trigger enemy reinforcements when the AI realises everyone's dead and not responding to radio.
After that its either an SAS mission for Arma II having downloaded the new skins for the SAS, or a US platoon mission having just come off the beaches at D-day and heading inland either clearing out defenders just back from the beach or i may have to watch SPR to take notes on the mission Capt Miller describes after the landing - the one where hes describing the minefield to his CO
Some CMFI PBEM-ing - my opponent on his defend mission is getting pasted and it cant be any fun, ive offered him a new game as soon as he gets too pissed off so we'll see what happens there
And some FM2010 - Harrogate are on target to take the Blue Square Premier crown and enter League 2, then i have to hope and pray the board will expand the ground (average crowd is 770 at the moment) and give me some transfer funds
All in all good gaming at the moment, ill throw in some DoW I too
Trick question :-P .... Since I over extended myself again on the sales, I plan to ....
Continue: CK II // Eador: Genesis // Borderlands II // DraftDay Sports Pro-BBall
Start/Setup: Heroes M&M III // Dungeon Keeper II // UnReal World
I have a ton of other stuff I may look at, but not sure exactly where this weekend will take me.....then again maybe Masters of Orion 2, Batman Arkham City, Alea Jacta Est, Alpha Centauri, Skyrim........ :o
PE
@Tent - AFAIK the Third Age mod I have for TW is the most recent but it's not new...couple of years old.
I finally got around to downloading my free copy of Elemental - Fallen Enchantress so I may give that a whirl. Or I might play some more Eador - Genesis, Civ5, Warlock, or XCOM. Or maybe Star Ruler that I got for cheap while it was on sale. Or possibly Silent Storm, Borderlands, or Fallout New Vegas.
I bought so-o-o many games during all the sales that I have no idea what I will be playing this weekend. :P
We have a bunch of moving parts going on at home. I'm hoping to get some multiplayer GH action with Chivalry, but I'm not sure whether that will happen.
i have, for some reason, gotten completely sucked into the Baldur's Gate universe, playing BGII on the pc and BGEE on the ipad.
on a whim, i picked up Wing Commander III & IV on the GOG sale. So far WGIII is not playing nicely with my pc, so i may have to ditch it. I hope WGIV will be better adapted to the peculiarities of my system (...which aren't terribly peculiar, so confused why WGIII is giving me so much trouble.)
Just to say what everyone here already knows... GOG's combination of low-low prices and uncanny ability to tug at nostalgic heartstrings make this a very dangerous site for the wallet...

This is true X2..... when I thought I was done with the sales... i bought a ton of stuff from there:
Neverwinter Nights Diamond
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2
Icewind Dale 1 & 2
Planescape: Torment
The Temple of Elemental Evil
Dungeon Keeper 2
Theme Hospital
Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete
Heroes of Might and Magic V Complete
Master of Orion 1 & 2
The Last Express
Haegemonia Gold
King of Dragon Pass
Needless to say, I went $50 over my budget
PE
I really have no idea, I haven't even played on my PC for a few days. At a guess, it will be:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Dawn of War 2
Wargame: European Escalation
Possibly some other stuff too innit. What I'd really like to do is play through a first game of Android: Netrunner with my lady; just got it for Christmas. :)
Not really sure. I'll probably start going through my sale stash and pick out a couple to start with...maybe Imperialism I/II or Nexus, The Jupiter Incident. I'll also mess with Carcassonne (http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-CARCASSONNE/carcassonne) that I picked up on a whim yesterday on Gamersgate for some blue coins ($5)...
More Skyrim for me. According to Steam I've played 200+ hours total, and still feel like I have a lot to do. Finished the mage college and Gauldur legend quest lines this week (first time finishing both of them). Going to focus on doing the daedric and main quest lines now. I find if I focus on one or two major quest lines, and don't get distracted by random stuff, I can finish them in 2-3 days. Would really like to get the main quest finished before Dragonborn comes out in the next few weeks.
I'm also going to spend some more time with Baldurs Gate EE on my iPad. Bought it when I was on vacation last week and haven't played more then a handful of minutes at a time.
Games I may/need to play but probably won't:
X-Com
Fallout 2 (Need to install the high res monitor mod)
Fallout 3 or NV
CK2
I don't know, actually. I suppose I'll start really diving in to Arkham City now that Mass Effect 3 is in the books. And I find myself wanting to replay Spec Ops : The Line and make a few different choices this time around, so maybe I'll get to that.

Oops, sorry, my bad. I've got an original Imperilism II CD. Poor wording on my part... :-\
lol no worries - credit card was out and at the ready
I'm betting it'll show up on GOG.com before too much longer.

Now that sounds like fun Keunert!
Diablo 3 and for a mix up of ARPG Din's Curse. I might have an ARPG problem.
The look of my Demon Hunter following beating Diablo on Hell difficulty.

I gotta admit, Demon Hunter is fun to play what with all the tumbling stunts and such.
Oh! And "Battle-Hos" in high heels. yeah.

I admit I did go out a buy $20 worth of gold from Blizzard. Got a little under 40 million gold. I've found if you go for bids over buy outs, and go for gear that may not be perfectly stated, you can make a couple million gold go a long way. I was able to fully kit out my DH and partially kit out my barb. None of it is perfectly stated, but it works well enough to allow me to do Inferno Monster power 2-3 solo. And once you hit 60 and start getting 10-15 paragon levels you do start to get some worthwhile drops. I'm paragon level 13 and usually see 1-2 legendary's drop every run.
i got completely sucked into Borderland2 my first shooter in the new millenium and i love it

Aw, and here I got all excited for a moment. :( (I've long heard praise for both games, but the second one especially.) Here's hoping it becomes available on GOG before too long!
I haven't used the AH. All my gear I've found with the exception of 2 piece. I got a 500+ DPS hand crossbow and a 1000+ DPS fist thingy from players who just gave them to me. I think they felt sorry for my pathetic gear. My monk is 60 +1 paragon. I've had no luck at all finding legendary equipment hopefully that changes before I get Diablo 3 fatigue and need to take a break again.
The Witcher 2. I'm usually not into RPG's that much, but for $7.50 on Steam, I thought I'd give it a shot. Anyone here thats' plyaed it have any advice or tips?

Have fun.
I put off solving the main quest for as long as possible. Once I solved it the magic left the game. I played several more hours, but it just never seemed the same afterwards. I suspect opinions will vary on this, but that's my take.
After buying all those games during the holiday sales and trying to figure out which ones to play, I got Railroad Tycoon II Platinum up and running on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer (and I didn't have to buy the Steam version!). So I'll probably be playing it for awhile this weekend. It's like I've found an old friend.
I'll try to find some time to play Starpoint Gemini and Scourge of War: Chancellorsville.
In the middle of Mass Effect 2, as part of my replay of the entire series.
^Let us know how it turns out. My all time favorite character in the ME series is definitely Garrus, but in ME2 Thane comes in a very close second.
I see the drops in Diablo 2 are still quite a few levels lower than your character is. :( That's still disappointing. Not only did they force everyone into their AH system, they also artificially force you to give or trade a lot of your loot off to different players or characters. Most of the keepers I find for loot end up going to one of my lower level characters. I thought they were gonna "adjust" that upwards in an update? :-\
Well my Monk isn't too bad off for a first time play through on Inferno. My Demon Hunter is in sorry shape gear wise although I was able to solo Diablo on Hell difficulty. 90% of loot is crap. The 9% is ok if you have an alt you want to save it for but it's a gamble that it'll be something you need. 1% is useful. OK 1% maybe too high but I'm ok with it.
