The (future) Mrs. is going out of town this weekend so it will be a gaming bonanza! Civ IV will be played. Multiplayer even! There will be Paradox and Betas and maybe even and oldie but goodie.
What, no Warlock!? C'mon man - you left everyone hanging on the AAR series! ;)
Feeding my current EU4 addiction.
Hopefully there will be a major EU IV session, and a major HOI III session
interspersed with some DOTA 2 training so i can accompany my buddy Huw through the world of........ wherever it is
We played some Warlock this week around Tent's Thunderstorms ;). Though wouldn't mind some MP if the right people are on (to continue one of the existing games)
I'll be doing some Shogun 2.. EU4.. Maybe fired up DCS Warthog, it's been awhile!
Will be dipping into my Humble Bundle..
This means a combination of Tent, LB, W8 and or Bart.
Birth of the Federation
Shogun 2
Descent 3
SimCity 4
I might be up fer some MP Civ tonight....
Getting into the meat of my German HOI III campaign.
More testing.
Maybe fire up Tropico 4 for the first time, now that 5 has been announced. :P
Try some more AirLand Battle... Hope it clicks soon.
Try to last more than 4 days in The Few. :o
Metaldog- she's coming back.. from out of town... right? And Bayonbrant, what happened to the bugs? I kind of miss them. Anyway, I couldn't survive without a Total War fix for long so I'm 4 territories short of winning ETW as Russia. But one I need is my faithful, always -there-for-me allies Georgia and so I must find a way to stab them in the back for the win. And I'll let CMBN beat the hell out of me some more. But now I'm wondering if my wife's going out of town this weekend????? ??? ???

Slash - your wife said she's coming to see me :) Maybe I'll open the door and let her in between bouts of Space Hulk and Dawn of War II. DoW II has really sunk its claws into me.

I have no idea what this weekend will hold gaming wise. I am busy preparing for the upcoming school year and soccer season and that is taking most of my time. However, well needs breaks I plan to spend my time in front of some sort of computer goodness. Now that I think of it I really want to start a new CKII campaign ... hmmm ...

are you going to bring your team down here to the big CASL tournament they have every year?

Ping me when you're ready!
Dota 2
And depending on the money situation, I might possibly perhaps maybe look at picking up Space Hulk as long as someone plays with me!
EU IV
Scrolls
Perhaps some Space Hulk if I read more positive comments and see some positive videos.
Going to be a Paradox centric weekend for me. Going to continue to feed my EU IV addiction. It's been a long time since a game has kept me up until the early hours of the morning during the week. The more I play, the more I think this may be Paradox's best game yet. CK2 is still ahead because I generally like the medieval era over the Renaissance. I really like the balancing act between power points, prestige and stability. Since power points in particular are spent on virtually everything; from gaining stability, coring provinces, teching up, and national ideas, it makes for some really interesting and more often then not, really hard decisions.
So far in my ironman Castile game, I've kicked Aragon off the Iberian peninsula and have finished of Grenada. The only thing keeping me from forming Spain is needing admin tech level 10. Am building my first colony in Seirra Leone. I also dropped a conquistador and small army off in Brazil and did some exploring before I recalled the army home in preparation to take the last province I need for the "continue the Reconquista mission" from Algiers.
If anyone is interested, I'd like to set up a EU IV MP game sometime this weekend.
If I can tear myself away from EU IV I'm going to go back to CK2 and start a game with either the CK2+ or the Prince and the Thane mods.

Birth of the Federation
Shogun 2
Descent 3
SimCity 4
Yep! Maybe some Shogun2, ARMAIII, ROP and ordering ROMEII.
EU IV
distant worlds
And maybe some master for Orion 3
I've been in this Space mood for weeks now... Bouncing between various 4xs and playing a ton of Homeworld 2 complex. I think EU4 might snap me out of it but not sure. Something keeps bringing me back to space games. I used to hate them up until a year ago or so. Now I have no interest in any other genre. Kind of annoying actually!
I am going to give Shogun 2 a rest for a bit after my win and spend some time trying to finish Far Cry 2 and Bioshock which have been on my HD for ages! Wargame European Escalation has just been released by GOG so I also plan on picking it up for some Cold War RTS fun.
Finally learned to play EU III and I'm playing as Scotland.
Got my new Panther in World of Tanks so I'm building up my XP to get that built off of stock.
Some flying in MSFS for the virtual airline I belong to.
Iron Front MP
ArmA II MP and possibly ArmA III to test out the new beta.
Hitman:Absolution
Hearts of Iron III: BlackICE mod.

Its a high school team and I think that is just for club teams. Plus this is my first year coaching so I've got to start small. :)

I'm in for laying some smack down on you in MP
EU4 and Deadlock.
I'm doing some board games tonight, probably some Cards Against Humanity. No sicker game has EVER been created.
I still have some minor Steam games i haven't played yet or played much of -
Alan Wake
Brutal Legend
Left 4 Dead 2
Mirror's Edge
Shadowrun Returns
Super Meat Boy
Sleeping Dogs
System Shock 2
Unity of Command
I know, not many Grog-ish titles there (maybe Unity of Command; I tend to only buy when stuff is on sale and usually on impulse), but I don't feel like anything too heavy this weekend. I have a lot of writing to do.
I'm working from home until it's time to head out to the board gaming fest!
Hey Gus. Could you ask my wife to pick-up some toilet paper on her way back home please. Oh. Wait. I better take care of that myself. ::)
I finally finished today my campaign of Heroes of annihilated Empires....a shame that they didn't make part 2 & 3. Anyway, i may play a few skirmish maps at some point to play the other factions as well but not this weekend.
So, i intend to play the following games:
- Hegemony Gold
- Children of the Nile

I wish you more success with the Panther than I had. It is a pretty good sniper but doesn't last long in a brawl which many of the pub matches seem to become.
Probably some Tropico 4, Legions Gold and Battle Academy and maybe some Airstrike: Eagles of World War II
EDIT: Just bought XCOM for 75% off from GamersGate so the above may no longer be true :)
EU4 ... will see how badly I can manage to bollocks everything up further
CK II, time permitting ... EU4 is making me want to play CK2 more than ever, and yet I can't play CK2 without taking time away from EU4, but as I play EU4, part of me keeps thinking "maybe I should be playing CK2 instead?". A conundrum!
My USA HoI3 BlackICE campaign has kinda fallen off the radar with all the other Paradox goodness on offer...

Thats what I like about the E50 (not the E50M) its a sniper but can brawl when it absolutely has to

You getting hitched 'Dog? Congrats man!
And just to show you how far under a rock I've been living lately here's another question for you guys. When did EUIV come out? Isn't that scheduled for next month? ???

LOL!
It came out on Tuesday, IIRC.
You must have it confused with TW Rome 2's release month or something.
^I guess so. :)
I've been thinking of nothing but RTW2 lately and this EUIV release has caught me completely by surprise. Now what do I do? Should I get it? :o
Gearing up for the release of Blacklist with some original Splinter Cell. Continuing a Civ 5 BNW game.
Slash I gave your wife some of my toilet paper.
Looks like Space Hulk and some DoW 2 for me. Very much in the 40K Universe this weekend it would seem.
Clean I hope. ;D
Well we've reached yet another low here at grogheads. Gus sharing asswipe possibly used with fellow forum members. Way to soil the day I find out metal dog is falling off the freedom train.

falling??? hell, he's leaping with enthusiasm
Soiled? That's just gross and wrong. And with Mrs. Slash of all people! How dare you.

Surprising no one at all, I now own Space Hulk. Played through the preview mini-campaign, so now it's on to kicking ass for real.
Aside from that, not sure. Recently got the board game Archipelago, along with the Solo Expansion, in a trade. So I might set that up and give it a go. Got another trade finished this week that now has me owning Combat Commander : Pacific, so that's another option.
Or I might spend some time with Shadowrun Returns.

A good one so far. Reminds me of the good ol' days (and the days after the good ol' days).
I've also played around a lot with this site:
http://www.xtdos.com/
Nothing major, but a lot of good old computer games playable through the browser. I found both Buck Rogers SSG games, but only one D&D game (Death Knights of Krynn) - but DKoK doesn't seem to let you add characters, so that sucks.
I'm with Windi. I'm going willingly and gladly :) Thanks for all the good wishes. And look for me for Warlock my Canadian friend.
I never said soiled Gus. I said clean. Get your mind out of the potty. ;D And yes, Mrs. Slash is certainly an exceptional lady of quality, dignity, class, and intelligence. After all, she did marry me. And I'm very :) :) about it.

It all went as planned. Ordered RomeII. Very excited about that. Mostly played RoP. It's the summer of 1757 and Prussia (that's me!) has enemies all over.
Oh, also I got another copy of Fontenoy and the BAR Primer -- which is interesting. I don't see why Old Fritz is badgering the reader. After all in 1744 he was a total distaster as a commander. Why not de Saxe? I guess most of BAR is much later than the 1740s. Oh well.
Windigo - I like the Real Iron Man cooking pic! ;D
Thats being innovative doing that. And if its teflon coated cleanup should be a breeze
