Ok - It's historically called "FRIDAY" but we all talk about the weekend's gaming
So - what to do?
Having a new rig built I am absolutely LOVING the power of the new hardware. Games look ASTOUNDING...DCS and FSX in particular are amazing looking. Played some Ghost Recon Future Soldier last night and the textures were fantastic.
So - this weekend...
FSX - with Air Hauler
DCS Black Shark - The Mi-8 and Huey are just IMPOSSIBLE to take off with or land!
Total War Rome II - I don't know...not liking what I'm hearing though I might have a wee look.
Sins of a Solar Empire:Rebellion
F1 2012 - gearing myself up for the likelihood of buying F1 2013 - even though I don't want to!
rFactor2 in all it's glorious beauty!
And also - making my Challenger II...got some painting and some gluing to do...it's starting to take shape.
That is all.
I love you all. :P
DCS A10C. Have to relearn this every time
FSX. As usual.
ARMA 2 or might finally buy 3
Wow! Take a break for a week and they forget who starts this thing ;) Just teasing, JD. It's not like I'm going to write anything new. It'll be Civ IV BTS MP and Warlock. If there is time, and inclination, it'll be something Paradox.

I'm exactly the same Jomni! It takes so long to learn it, you walk away eventually - only to yearn to come back and go through it all again!
Playing with my Zero Turn (Toro Timecuter SS5000)
Democracy 3 beta
DCS
I'd also like to get back into FSX so I can talk myself into buying Air Hauler
Possibly looking into Airwaysim again...
Why? Because I am incapable of being content with the games I already own lol
FSX
Rome II
I'm also getting the urge to hop back into DCS Warthog.. and will have to re-learn as well.
CMBN pbem game with Con
Rome II for sure. Possibly some more FE: Legendary Heroes and/or BOTF as well, depending on time constraints and whimsy.
Rome II
Splinter Cell Blacklist
ARMA 3
FSX - Air Hauler
...COMMAND Beta
Diablo 3 on my PS3, lounging back on my couch playing on a 55 inch tv....
Oh my god. I never knew FSX is popular with Grogheads. ;D
Rome II to wipe out Syracuse and then start something with Carthage. And perhaps Witcher II.
I'm rebuilding my party after the Cardhunter server reset. Will probably start at the office while I should be doing other things that I'm completely un-motivated to do.
edit: starting pretty much right now
At least you're honest.
well - I would be, if the damn server wasn't overloaded. Instead I'm playing "hit the refresh button on the browser and watch nothing happen"
I'm sure it's some Karmic payback for baiting Pining over at WGer or something
A buddy of mine works at the local FLGS here in Austin. He has the keys to the store. We're planning an after hours ASL slug-fest tomorrow with a few people. I've been needing an ASL fix.
Will also continue painting and model/terrain making for Force on Force. I should be able to snap some pics this weekend of what I've made. It won't be anything as mind-blowing as what nevermore posts, but I think that they're coming out ok. :)
My P500'd copy of The Supreme Commander came in this week. Sadly though, there was some printing issues with map and counters. I'm awaiting to see what GMT will do to fix those before I tear in to it.
Let's see....... Dunno, but the last play of Distant Worlds had me snoring....
EU IV
X3
Shogun Total War II
maybe a indie or two...
Staring at me is FSX, Skyrim, Stalker, Dom III, Endless Space, CK2, FE.......
PE
Going with the mention of Skyrim - I noticed that Skyrim has a saved game of 1GB (that's a GIGABYTE) - that's just ridiculous!
Also - I forgot to mention - I might pop on SimHQ and have a go at ArmA III if it's around a decent GMT time.

Rome, Rome, always Rome!
Going to play:
- Age of Empires: the Rise of Rome....first campaign as Rome, starting mission 2 (Pyrrhus and the Greeks).
- Populus Romanus on my tablet...finishing the first campaign. Will start the fight against Hannibal (2d campaign of the original game).
- Armada 2526 Supernova pbem

Only you could start off your post with "Rome, Rome, always Rome!" and then not have Total War Rome II on your list. :o

There's indeed a lot of irony here ;)...intended.
Forgot to mention I finally got around to playing Armageddon Empires from Cryptic Comet and have enjoyed it.... I still have The Occult Chronicles on my 2 buy list.
PE
Diablo III, Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7, Magic 2013, and Halo Wars on my XBOX360.
Just DL'd patch 5.1.3 for Napoleon Total War mod 'The Great War'. I will start a new campaign with the latest patch and hope that the battlefield crashes I experienced are gone.
Almost forgot...
Going to betatest "Fall Weiss"

similar, but more limited: RomeII, arma3 and Close action (boardgame) in 1744 mod mode (bad crews for all and guns are even less accurate and cannot be trained much off the flat out broadside).
Rome 2 vanilla for a little while more before I try a mod. And watching Bayonet's Avatar video. I'm getting dizzy! :o
That Avatar video looks like a fun ride. ;D
Euro Truck Sim 2
Fallen Enchantress (how the hell do you get more spells?)
Also some Ace Patrol; wasn't sure whether I wanted it but it's currently £3 on GMG. That's less than I pay my lady for a blowjob. May as well.

We're having a session tonight starting at 5pm PDT/ 8pm EDT/ 12 am GMT.
I'll be playing:
ArmA III
Iron Front
Outlast
Tomb Raider
Slash what do you think of Rome II? Haven't heard much from you on it.
Tonight I'll be continuing my Austria campaign in EU IV. So far, I have almost 90 hours total invested into EU IV. Austria has been the most rewarding so far. Its not simply a matter of painting the map white like it is for many other countries. Its probably the closet faction that comes to feeling like CK2. There's a lot of managing the electors and gaining imperial authority and you don't get that by just all up conquering everyone in sight. I've really had to watch when and where I pick off the odd province in the various internal HRE wars i order to keep my aggressive expansion penalty down. Even a little aggressiveness will can the electors against you.
Will be working most of the weekend, and have a going away party to go to on Sunday so I probably won't get much gaming time in. If I can tear myself away from EU IV, I have to do some Command testing (which I've been neglecting due to a lack of time), and some modding for both Command and Skyrim.
Rome II
Re-reading the rule books for South Mountain and ASKSK #1.
Dont laugh but working at a cosmetics conference all weekend - day in lieu next week for some serious roman action
I can say for sure I'll be playing:
Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm (beta)
Red Orchstra 2/Rising Storm
Everything else is up for grabs this weekend!

And so falling to the bottom of the gutter took less than 34 post for us to reach in this Friday's gaming thread. That has to be close to a record.

He's clearly surrounded by female Umpa Lumpas.
I was thinking prison.
Or a tanning salon frequented by late-stage cougars.
or hes visiting the Jersey Shore.
Watch it buddy! >:(
That tan in a can stuff makes you look orange.
I used to have a red headed GF who couldn't tan use that lotion.
I told her it wasn't necessary to turn orange to make herself more attractive,it wasn't her skin I was interested in.
OO
I was thinking an all female prison for red heads in NJ.

i daredn't look - i figure it will be a selection of stuff that sounds like it should be on a pudding - i have seen ginger and pineapple scrub in there - now ill admit id like that be to be the title of two ladies in some lesbian porn but im not holding much hope
What does a man do with ginger and pineapple scrub if it indeed is not lesbian porn or pudding? Or both?
get right in deep on those hard to clean areas?
im almost sure theres no part of me needs scrubbing with ginger and pineapple

All went as planned. Rome was fun. Easy Egypt got to be so stable (after a few very cool sea battles) that I'm going to do Easy Carthage for a bit and then try a Noraml Carthage.
ArmaIII -- fascinating and yet very strange.
Close Action -- I might just use some of its rules to complexify Flying Colors slightly or at the very least simplify the gunfire and damage rules. The ship movement is fine and the scale is good but there's a tad too much bookkeeping for a solitaire situation -- I want things to happen with less fuss and more violence.
I lost my Austria save to a Steam sync error. Spent the rest of my gaming time messing around with ArmA 3 and the scenario editor.
