It was this day back in 1961 that Gagrin became the first man in space. He orbited the Earth once in 108 minutes. I find it to be one of the crowning achievments of mankind, to break the bonds of gravity and go hurtling through space.
In celebration of Man's achievement, I will be playing a bunch of Warlock. I know, I know, one has nothing to do with the other, but, SOMEbody has to each those Soviets not to fool with our powerful mages.
For sure i will be playing and rounding up some PBEM games for both WINSPWW2 & WINSPMBT since they got patched up to newer versions.
This week i started a new adventure of Darklands thru Dosbox so i probably resume that one as well.
Also looking forward for some FSX; MIITW: Stainless Steel Mod 6.4 and Strike Fighters 2 with Nato Fighters mod.
Setting up OOTP14 mostly. Maybe some EU3 or Victoria 2 (to prepare for Heart of Darkness!).
A bit more Defiance for me. I think I'm obsessed. Wait till the hokey Babylon5/Firefly TV show airs next week and I find out that it's a stinker...
I'll be mostly playing Commander: The Great War...still trying to win my first game.
On my list i have 3 games by Wasteland but not sure which one i am going to play: Strategic War in Europe, Time of Fury and Storm over the Pacific.
I am going to have a free week so i plan to play Heroes of Annihilitated Empires next week.
Gaming time will be very limited this week but I hope to get some Far Cry 3 in and some boardgaming.
Some M2TW with Stainless Steel 6.3 as the French. I am amazed at how good this game still looks after 7 years. May also continue on in Skyrim and pick up Dragonborn DLC if the price goes down, and Dishonored DLC next week.

Geeh...i still haven't a machine able to run that game...
Anguille I am running Stainless Steel 6.3 because I could not get 6.4 to run properly so don't feel bad. If you could ever get it to run you would love it.
Well I'll be playing some Dominions 3 to prepare myself to be slaughtered in the Groghammer MP game.
I'll also be going back to Conquest of Elysium 3.

Setting up OOTP14
This is out? NOOOOOO!
I believe the Pre-Orderers get it a couple days earlier (i.e. this weekend) and it's released on the 15th.
I've been in Wait & See mode just to make sure no big kinks are present at first.
Well this is the upgrade year for me. My last version was 2011. I didn't pre-order though maybe I should have.

I don't think you saved any money by pre-ordering.. just got the game a couple days earlier. Of course, there will be inevitable patches so I figured may as well wait until official release since there'll likely be a last minute one anyway.
I'm going to attempt to launch my Kerbals out into space.
And probably kill a few orcs.
I'm nearing the end of my first intended playthrough of Bioshock Infinite. Should be able to finish this game this weekend. Then I want to try 1999 mode.
I'm continuing to practice my skills with Dominion 3 in preparation for our Groghammer MP. Jason I'll submit my pretender tonight sometime. Other than the CBM mod is there anything else I need to install?
Some of the boys, courtesy of MetalDog, are getting ready to duke it out in a Civ 4 MP game. Looking forward to this!
If there is time I'll probably try to hook up with my Groghead buddies Grimnirsson and Hiimori for some Gears of War Judgement action. ;)
So many games I need to catch-up on if only I could let go of AOW Shadow Magic. I keep trying to just get to a good spot and quit awhile but then some damned thing else happens or comes-up and I gotta go see it or get it or have it and then I'm gone again. The mail's not picked-up, the grass is not cut, food is not cooked, animals aren't fed, the house maybe on fire and I just got to get that last damned thing I need. This game's computer-crack cocaine.

We would expect nothing less. ;D

I'm aiming for a relatively dull weekend: cleaning up the game loft (clearing an area for a new desk for the new desktop). If I get much of that done, the reward will be some Where Eagles Dare (boardgame) and some ARMAIII.

just the map - its on the first post of the sign up thread
Final inspection done on ny house so hooking my gaming computer back up, woo whoo! All the talk about Shogun lately has given me the urge to fire that up. Also will probably be in the DCS world as well. Maybe a lil Warlock as well.
Finishing taxes this weekend, now that game just sucks! :-[
Hoping to get my hands on the new beta for MotBW. That and some retro-RPGing with Might & Magic VII
That Tax game is one you can never win. But they MAKE YOU play!? >:(
Trying to decide what to get into next after wrapping up the Mass Effect trilogy. I have a ton of other RPGs I could jump into, but I'm leaning toward something lighter that will let me just blow stuff up.

Do you want to blow up buildings and stuff or go on a mutant killing rampage? If you want to slay mutants and bandits, I'd highly recommend looking into Borderlands 2. Hours of stress relief in that game.

I was thinking starships or aircraft. I have IL-2 for Xbox that I've never gotten into. I may give that a go. Or maybe Star Trek: Legacy. I'm in a console mood, blow stuff up on the big screen.
More Diablo 3... going to finish up Nightmare on my Witch Doctor, and maybe try to get Act 2 done on my Monk. Probably some Torchlight 2 with an Embermage also. Grabbed a mod that lets me respec if needed. I like to experiment, and don't want to worry about getting it "wrong", and don't want to use someone else's uber-build. Half the fun is playing around. I'll continue my RTTS carreer in MLB the Show also. Year 2 in the Majors isn't being kind to me at the moment.
Definitely spend some time with Far Cry 3. I've been having a hankering to dive back in to Company of Heroes a bit, so I'll probably get in to that as well.
On the table, Kemet demands to be played.
A bit of Civ V as Carthage and some of the new Matrix Pricing Policy Forum Game :)
My only (gaming) plan for the weekend so far is to take part in week two of the Bloody April campaign in Rise of Flight. I've been "volunteered" for the dawn patrol. The blue pencil of the censor precludes me from saying anymore, but I may jot down a report if I survive...
I picked up Dishonoured from Steam as it was 50% off so I'll probably give that a whirl.
And the usual Iron Front MP Saturday session.
Tonight I'm hanging out with my friends, Mr Daniels from Tennessee and Captain Morgan. Going to play some Skyrim while I wait for Dishonored to finish downloading.
Going to split the rest of my weekend between Skyrim, Distant Worlds, Dishonored, and maybe some Fallout 3. KSP is a possibility as well, even though I send more rockets into the ground then into space.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be continuing to learn ARMA2.
Maybe some DCS:Combined Arms and Combat Mission: Shock Force also.
Beyond that, man alive do I have a lot of games to sort through!
I have Phantom Fury coming in the mail and if it arrives today, I promised myself I'd get it on the table immediately.

Things went roughly as planned! Regions of the loft cleared! Old wiring discovered and removed! Iron tables taken out! Some Where eagles Dare got played and a relatively large and unexpected amount of RoF!
I was at NoBrandCon in Eau Claire all weekend, so no gaming for me. Had a good time, though!
