The weekend couldn't get here soon enough! There will be games played and battles won! I will continue trying to take 50% of the Holy Sites in my Impossible Warlock game with 9 AI players on a Huge continenal map. I'm sure there will be some Civ IV MP as well.
Not sure the wife is away for the Weekend scrapbooking, so I'll get a lot of gaming time in!.. Have to work for a lil bit tomorrow morning, so that kind of sucks, but the rest of the weekend should be cool..
Well...Band of Heroes AAR to complete. I would also like to continue my OOTP 13 season and my Shogun 2 campaign - which isn't going all that great.
Seemingly very few people want to trade with me, I have a lack of food and therefore rebellions (I only have 4 regions!)
I was asked to attack a sole island which belonged to a clan. I can't remember the name but it was the only region the clan had and they were marked as easy...sent a big army there without scouting - bad news - they had a bigger army.
Next time sent my experienced ninja - he was caught!
So I have built a huge army to go and take this island (it's got gold!) but I'm waiting for my ninja to be available again...then wait some turns to get him to the docks - then wait some turns to get my ship with him on board to the island - it's all sapping my money!
I raise taxes, I get unrest. I buy more men to quell rebellions and I use more money. I lower taxes to keep the people happy and I go into minus tax returns...it's very, very difficult to balance!
Panzer Corps, WoTs and maybe some FM 2013
Long weekend up here! 8)
Time to put in the veggie garden.
Then it's finishing off my new man cave!
Then it's gaming! HoS testing, CiV Play the World G&K Mod, Ace Patrol on the iPad in the backyard.
Working part of the weekend but then there should be some gaming. Hopefully some Far Cry 3 and Elemental.
Tomorrow it's dropping the dogs off at the kennel, packing, and then off to the Bahamas for our first real vacation in 4 years. Until then I will do some more testing on Lock n Load and fool around with Reus, having just completed the tutorial.
Fallen Enchantress: Forgotten Heroes and X3.
If I can get away from unpacking...
1. Reus
2. Wargame: ALB
3. Metro: Last Light
4. X3: Albion Prelude
5. Sanctum 2
6. DCS UH-1H
I know the above is wishful thinking...
Mmmmh...not sure.
1) Heroes of annihilated empires
2) Tin Soldiers: Julius Caesar still struggling to defeat Pompeyus at Pharsalus
3) Armada 2526 Supernova
Maybe: Storm over the Pacific.
1: Skyrim
2: Fallen Enchantress: LH
3: Skyrim Modding - working on my shamans of skyrim mod and doing a compatibility patch for Skyrim Redone and Sneak tools
4: Diablo 3
Finally going to start CK II...go through tutorials and start a campaign with Byzantine characters. Maybe watch a few more YouTube tutorials so I have some idea what is going on, hopefully. May also start an AJE campaign if I am feeling ambitious, and perhaps a Civ V game decked out with ancients mods.
Playing Call of Duty: United Offensive. Bought it years ago and never got around to playing it.
Wars in America as the British in the American Revolution campaign.
Theater of War. Playing the Polish campaign.
World of Tanks (http://worldoftanks.com/news/2326-rapid-fire-weekend/)
Eador - Master of the Broken World (http://www.snowbirdgames.com/eador/?lang=en)
The Settlers II: 10th Anniversary (http://www.gog.com/gamecard/the_settlers_2_10th_anniversary)

I'm going to gradually cut down on the FOTS time. I had a gruesome island battle myself. I brought a big but not particularly good army and it took two bloody assaults to take the fortress despite having naval gun support. Nice battles though.
Maybe The Burning Blue will turn up and I'll switch to that. Meanwhile, I got two very old and musty copies of Invasion: Norway. It's a game from 1995 and would have profitted from some kind of card mechanics. I guess I got it to do the land campaign if PQ-17's Norway 1940 expansion ever comes out. So with heaps of musty or unpopular boardgames around I'll probably escape to FOTS and/or CLOD and/or RO2 and/or ARMAIII and/or CKII. Good thing I have a weekend for all that.

^What is FOTS?
And I keep forgetting I've got ArmA III
Taking a break from Skyrim to get back to some strategy gaming and a flight or two in FSX and still need to learn Dominions 3, likely time between a few of these...
- Fallen Enchantress LH
- Eador: Master of the Broken World
- CK II: Time to try Sword of Islam
- Shogun Total War II
- Distant Worlds

Sacrifice of Angels 2 mod for Sins of a Solar Empire
World of Tanks
Beta testing an upcoming wargame
That should just about do it for the holiday weekend (Victoria Day in Canada).

Fall of the Samurai!!!
ARMAIII is just such a totally satisfying alpha game. I should go online and learn to hate it.
CMBN- the Kampgruppe Engel campaign. I've got the King Tiger tank but now have to get it and my other units back to the exit zones in the face of an avalanche of American armor and arty. And for something a little less real world, AOW Shadow Magic, beginning the Elf campaign 3rd. mission after my combined Elven-Dwarven-Frostling armies defeated the giant bugs lead by a Demon Overlord in the Spirit World. I expect to probably get each half of my butt-cheeks handed to me by both games.
2 and a half weeks off - wooohooooo
as promised to Huw, there will be.............
1. a proper go at AOW shadow magic
2. Some endless space MP with Huw
3. CMBN/CMFI PBEM wrap ups
4. Jumping neck deep into Shogun II
5. Fighting the urge to buy Fallen enchantress
6. Dom 3 stuff

I've played the first two tutorials. I like it...it seems surprisngly complex. Very interesting aesthetic too.
I will train some more DCS Black Shark 2 and maybe buy Reus. I really like the graphic style and the subject but I can read that some people are a little disappointed that it seems like a puzzle game more than a God mode game....

I finished all 3. I really like the art style. I started a short game and discovered that greed really becomes a problem if you do too much too quickly for your little people (although there are ways to mitigate it).
I scored a new high score in bejeweled waiting for my oil to be changed.
1,626,830
I'm so f'n proud of myself right now.

Last time I looked (last week) All there was content-wise for ARMAIII was some guys with guns and grenades and RPGs mines democharges and diving gear, some tourist-looking locals, some helicopters, some mine-resistant trucks, some cars and trucks, some boats and some ATVs
Plus snakes, rabbits, fish, birds, bugs and something out underwater that gets picked up as an active AI. I chased it down 30 meters, but I never saw it except as an active AI (noise?) on the map.
There are plenty of unofficial mods, but I haven't installed any.

So you got your oil changed? Maybe you need new gaskets as well.....
If its Dry, I have been advised by 'she-who-wields-the pan' that the back lawn has to be mowed (pray for rain) and I have a half promise from a buddy to get a game of LnL's Cobra on the table.
I'm dithering (still) between buying Fallen Wosname, AoW SM, or Eador.
Not sure if I'll be free for gaming on Sunday, but if so, I'll be trying to do Warlock with Metaldog before he sends the hevies round to 'ave a quiet word wiv me'.
Oh, and watch Dr.Who on Saturday night. His new 'companion' (makes me think of Firefly) is a rather nice bit of fluff :-)
After (or certainly before even) I finish playing Cut The Grass, a real time strategy game pitting man and machine vs. nature, I will be playing the following:
Dark Souls
Dragon's Dogma
Dominions 3
and probably a few more games as well.
Well, I've recently upgraded my Debian install to 7.0 but it's pissing me off, so I will be upgrading to the testing version. Wish me luck! If it goes pear-shaped I doubt I'll be doing any gaming this weekend...
All being well, I will be playing some Fallen Enchantress, Dominions 3 and hopefully getting a bit of Endless Space multiplayer in with Geek.
Have a great weekend whatever you do, everyone!
Think I will scratch the CK II SoI and go and try the The Prince and the Thane mod....
PE
Fallen Enchantress : Legendary Heroes as I've just caved in and bought the Beta and probably some CiV with a Game of Thrones Mod or some Gal Civ II or Oblivion
AJE
Rise of Prussia Gold
I've been really struggling for about a week to figure out what I want to play. My fallback has been Skyrim, but I'm getting tired of it again.
I'm thinking of picking up Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes since it seems to have grabbed the attention of a couple of you who seem to like the same sort of games I like.
The X3: Albion Prelude update is almost enough to convince me to re-install the game and give it a whirl.
Metro: Last Light is also tempting. Should I play Metro 2033 first?
Along the same lines I have all of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, but have yet to really play them. I'm wondering if there's a good story, or if they're mostly just shooty?

I never liked "Cut The Grass" until I got the DLC "I Have Two Sons", and then years later I upgraded with "Hire Someone, Anyone". Now I have more time to play Civ V, LotR Online, and Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes this weekend.
Oh, there is a new "Cut the Grass" DLC, but it's still in Alpha. It's called "Two Grandsons" ;)
Yay long weekend!
My Pinball FX2 addiction will no doubt continue.
I've been playing too many little quick games lately. I need to sink my teeth in to something more involved. Not sure what yet, but a bigger strategy game of some sort is going to get some play.
Also, hoping to get some board gaming in. Kemet demands more table time!

Well, after sitting in my home office all day while roofers were replacing my roof/shingles you'd think I'd want some peace and quiet, but no...all the talk here lately about Shogun 2 got me to download the demo and now all I want is to take over Japan so I bought it (and some DLC). So this weekend I'll be getting into Shogun 2. Didn't think it'd be my kind of game, but it does have a draw to it. Currently downloading...12+ frackin GBs?? :o

Metro is good fun. It's pretty much on rails going from fight to fight.
STALKER good story I felt and you certainly do your fair amount of fighting.

I had upgraded to "Hire Someone, Anyone" but I got banned from the server for attempting to hack with an aimbot. That new DLC sounds like it might be good but I'll wait until it goes gold then I'll check the forums to see if the hype is what it is.
I must've gone to the wrong website. My DLC came out "Grand Daughter".

finish off Serious Sam 3
Doorkickers [new alpha]
Maybe start up XCOM enemy unknown which i picked up on sale last weekend.
Of course if it's not raining will be toiling around outside till dark.
The only DLC I have is 'do it yourself and shut up." So I cut my own grass today. Noticed that my dog has been digging a hole to China out there too.
Well, a nice quiet Sunday afternoon of rare game time has been replaced by
"Take my daughter and son to the neighbor kid's birthday party while the wife picks up an extra shift at work"
I may check out the "get them dinner, a bath and in bed by myself" DLC
I'm having a bitch of a time finding a game to grab my attention.
I think I'm going to try Skyrim, but no promises I'll be able to stick with it for long.
I think I want to play CK2, but I have to start a new character and that's too much pressure for a Saturday beer night.
You should just give in and play Warlock, Toonces. Keep building your own cities and taking others. It's as hard as you want to make it.
So far, this weekend has proved to be an utter failure when it comes to PC gaming. Nice weather and evening board games have ruled the roost thus far. ;D

For once this is turning out exactly as planned. I'm sending back my Dom3 turns as they come in, I'm a few years into my first FE:LE game, and Friday and Saturday night have seen two fantastic sessions of Endless Space with Geek! Last night was epic...we played from just after 22:00 through to...I think it was around 01:30 when we stopped! We're learning the game together, trading useful resources and homing in on the AI areas. It's going to be a bloodbath. :D

Good luck with that one. From what I've read on the online forums, this particular DLC is very very difficult.
You may even end up quitting the level in frustration. My suggestion is don't quit though. Use a hack like I did. What you do is crawl into corner after you "blow up balloons" but make sure you've equipped your character with "good book" (something like World War Z should do) and then stay silent while you read. The "10 screaming kids" may not notice you and you will survive the level.

Heh.
I did the same DLC, but with water guns, a slip and slide, and various other water-themed activities, all cleverly designed to get children nice and muddy before the come inside my house (with the wonderful cream couches and designer carpet) to get various stain-inducing colored food and kool-aid.
Yep, a real joy alright. ::)
Still a complete failure in the PC gaming department. But DID get in some board gaming! More Sentinels of the Multiverse, pulled out Claustrophobia for the first time in awhile, and Kemet was played 3 times in a row. So far, Kemet is easily my board game of the year. So damn good.

Well...Band of Heroes AAR to complete. I would also like to continue my OOTP 13 season and my Shogun 2 campaign - which isn't going all that great.
Seemingly very few people want to trade with me, I have a lack of food and therefore rebellions (I only have 4 regions!)
I was asked to attack a sole island which belonged to a clan. I can't remember the name but it was the only region the clan had and they were marked as easy...sent a big army there without scouting - bad news - they had a bigger army.
Next time sent my experienced ninja - he was caught!
So I have built a huge army to go and take this island (it's got gold!) but I'm waiting for my ninja to be available again...then wait some turns to get him to the docks - then wait some turns to get my ship with him on board to the island - it's all sapping my money!
I raise taxes, I get unrest. I buy more men to quell rebellions and I use more money. I lower taxes to keep the people happy and I go into minus tax returns...it's very, very difficult to balance!
I'm going to gradually cut down on the FOTS time. I had a gruesome island battle myself. I brought a big but not particularly good army and it took two bloody assaults to take the fortress despite having naval gun support. Nice battles though.
Maybe The Burning Blue will turn up and I'll switch to that. Meanwhile, I got two very old and musty copies of Invasion: Norway. It's a game from 1995 and would have profitted from some kind of card mechanics. I guess I got it to do the land campaign if PQ-17's Norway 1940 expansion ever comes out. So with heaps of musty or unpopular boardgames around I'll probably escape to FOTS and/or CLOD and/or RO2 and/or ARMAIII and/or CKII. Good thing I have a weekend for all that.
As usual, I didn't quite do as I expected. I played CKII mostly.
I was gone all weekend (Syttende Mai festival in my mom's hometown, plus the usual visiting friends & family while I was down there), so no gaming for me. Had a good time, though!
I did attempt to get into both
Endless Space and
StarDrive last night, but just wasn't feeling it. Think I may be a little burned out on 4x titles at the moment (as weird as that is for me). ??? I may play some
Shogun 2 today instead. (That, or
Imperialism 2...)

How's this one turning out so far, btw? Haven't heard anyone really talk about it for a couple weeks now.

There have been quite a few updates. I've only played some short starts on a random 'skirmish' map and haven't yet noticed any major issues as of last week.
Gamespot gave it only a " Poor- 4 out of 10" review. Said it was too buggy but I've not noticed that many complaints of bugs.

From what I understand, there was still some crashing for a short time after Eador:MotBW's release and some people hated the interface (it
is a bit odd in the Left/Right click methodology for selecting & moving your hero armies). Dunno about specific broken gameplay bugs, myself. I've not played it long enough to notice anything huge in that department.
