Free at last! It's the weekend!!

[MetalDog]

For all of you that have Monday off, thanks to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. being born around this time, I salute you.  Enjoy your extra day off. For the rest of us, even though our weekend be shorter, it just means we will play all the harder.

I picked up an old Crusader Kings II campaign ealier this week.  Dynastically, I had backed myself in a corner.  I had accepted a marriage proposal for my ruler that gave all our issue to him dynastically.   That left a bastard who, although born before my marriage, was ineligble to inherit, the three sons and one daughter from my first marriage and after husband number one died, a daughter from my second marriage.  Once my character died, it was game over.

So, my legitimate sons came of age.  I gave both of them fiefs to rule.  They promptly revolted, following their fathers footsteps.  I captured each of them and had them  imprisoned, where I executed them.  Two down two to go.  The girl I married off which left me my youngest boy.  Literllay for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what to do with him.

My Queen was in her sixties, and it looked like it was game over when suddenly, a special event appeared which allowed me to legitimize my bastard!  WOOHOO!!!  Faster than epsom salts through a widow woman, I made him my heir, married him to a sixteen year old Swedish girl and then died.  Talk about a stroke of luck!  It's almost as if the game wanted me to continue.

Of course, a whole host of new problems arise.  My new ruler follows a heretical branch of Christianity, so all of my vassals, including my wife, hate me.  All of my old councillors jumped ship and I have to give away a goodly portion of my assets just to get back into everyones good graces.  But at least I am still playing :)

So, CKII wil be one of the games I play this weekend.  There will also be some Avernum Escape from the Pit.  And maybe some Medieval 2 total War.  I've got an old old save game where the Mongols have arrived and are systematically wiping clean the frontier.  Maybe I can survive that, too.  ;)

Bought Imperialism II last night and played 'til midnight.  :P Never had it first time around... man do I suck at this game!
Will probably get the new DLC fer CKII and have a go at that.
Will also try and fianlly get Bloody April on my game table for a first go at the rules.

[mirth]

Continuing my run through the Mass Effect series. 3/4 way through ME2.

[Anguille]

Scourge of War: Chancellorsville...

[TheCommandTent]

Not sure how much time I will have for gaming this weekend but the list of possibilities includes, League of Legends, Planetside 2, ARMAII (using Planned Assualt) and Commander: The Great War.

[PanzersEast]

Not sure but will play CK II mostly, Imperialism II and probably a newly reinstalled Silent Hunter III moded up.

Maybe some Co-Op Flashpoint...


PE

[Nefaro]

Looks like a Dominions 3 and Conquest of Elysium 3 weekend for me.

Since I'm obviously on a Fantasy Grand Strategy kick, I may also stick some Warlock:MotA and Eador:Genesis in there, if I feel like a short break from the marathon.

[Greybriar]

I installed Civilization II: Multiplayer Gold Edition on my Windows 95 machine, so I'll probably play a little of that this weekend. I'm not absolutely sure what else--a little World of Tanks, Warlock, and Eador: Genesis most likely.

[W8taminute]

Far Cry 3.

It is so intoxicating to single handily walk into a pirate outpost armed with an RPG-7 and a PKM and wipe out everything that moves before they can set off the alarm. 

I'm a little over half way through the story and will attempt to close this game out this weekend if possible.

CK II

  Looks like a mostly CMBN:CWF week-end with maybe some Prussia's Glory II (Kolin and/or Kunersdorf) board gaming.

[mikeck]

Evochron Mercenary, Scourge of War: Antietam and probably finish up my darthmod napoleon campaign

[LongBlade]

Great summary, MetalDog, but I'm afraid to ask about the origin of this remark...
