Now that I've finally remembered how to play the game again (because it's honestly been that long -- we're talking years!), I'm gonna get down with Imperium Galactica II this weekend.  \m/  Starting as the Solarians for my first time back. 

I've also started a new Dwarven campaign in Warhammer Total War, this time as Grombrindal (The White Dwarf).  However, I'm not sure how much time I'll get to spend on it, as it's gonna be a busy weekend at work. 

Am also hoping to play some Armada 2526 PBEM.  Now that my turn finally showed up (after all this time ??? :buck2: ), we're now just waiting on one other person so we can get things rolling.  :knuppel2:

Continuing to learn the beast that is WitW.

Mad Max / TW Attila to check out.

Beyond that whatever the heart fancies.
Insert witty comment here.

Mad Max rules. I may love that game more than Attila TW.

@Gus:  My son and I are given when doing the grocery shopping to cruising about in our angel of speed cart.  I push and he stands right in front of me with his feet on the rear axle and his hands also on the pushy-bit.

He's learned to do a fairly good Chumbucket and, as we're speeding through the aisles, we've more than once gotten a look when he says things like, "Pizzas, Saint, we need pizzas" or "staff blocking the aisle, Saint, shall I harpoon them?"

Great stuff.

I think this weekend will be "Six Days" work, CS PBEM, Tiller PBEM, and DoW:II co-op with which my son has lately become obsessed.

^You are my hero for the day. Maybe even the whole weekend.

Found my into the Temple of the Fallen Moon in Poe's White March. Now I got to deal with what's inside....  AJE If I have the time. And.... celebrating the 5th anniversary of, "The Grogheads". Can the Internet HOLD so many great minds in one place?

Continuing Fire in the Grogs with ArizonaTank -- currently my turn to play the Viet Cong and then the North Vietnamese.

Continuing my Long War 2 campaign. No inescapable wipes yet, though I'm not fool enough to play on Ironman. ;)

Hope to do another entry on my Battle for Middle-Earth 2 dwarven campaign AAR; closing in on the end. Circling the drain. Something like that.  :crazy2:

Get to maybe play with the nieces tomorrow morning (and/or with the Bro), unsure what we'll do.

More Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 -- not yet back to where I couldn't continue last time (or words to that effect). I've been watching a collection of the extra material as I go, so I don't have to play through twice on hard and extra-hard to unlock them. I adore this game.  O0

(Note that if you like both Brothers In Arms and XCom, I've played the full campaign of The Bureau: XCom Declassified, and it's basically those two games mixed together. It may have released buggy, but it ran fine on my Win 8.1 machine a year or two ago -- one of the first games I ran on it actually. You may be disappointed that the game doesn't stay with the G-Men vs Aliens theme very far, but in standard XCom fashion you tech up pretty quickly. It's just, y'know, 1950s steampunk tech.)

More WH40: Sanctus Reach perhaps.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Ever playing a mission in a game like MGSV that takes you hours to complete to find that it has taken others literally like 5 minutes? Not a good feeling.

Getting my arse kicked by a prison break misssion in Metal Gear Solid V. The game is a triumph but the Afghan setting is pretty depressing...something about it gets me down. Also have Door Kickers and SWAT 4 teed up.

Wait until you get to Africa...you'll be crying yourself to sleep.

DCS with the new Viggen module, Endless Space 2, Swat 4, Empyrean: Galactic Survival, and Vector 36 in VR, if I can keep from throwing up.

DCS sounds possible.  Probably some Heroes and Generals and maybe some Stellaris and/or CMANO.

Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

I will be mostly flying large spaceships in *Star Trek Online*.

Been fiddling around with a curious strategy game called *Minos Strategos*.

And ashamedly playing *Toy Soldiers: Warchest*. Where the Kaiser can face off against GI Joe.  :idiot2:

I actually ended up playing some Diablo 3 for the first time in quite awhile, late last night.

Went surprisingly well with some old thrash metal blaring in the background.  Because that theme IS metal and features "loot pinatas" full of armor often suited most to Cenobite fashion sensibilities.  \m/

Finally grabbed the expansion pack.

Always like a good ARPG when the brain don't want to work hard. Pat of exile is my current poison of choice but I rotate between D3, Grim Dawn and PoE.

I tried PoE when it first came out.   Made my video card and/or CPU fans run double-time back then.  I expect they optimized enough to fix that by now. 

Was on the fence regarding it's mechanics.  I'll eventually get around to trying it out again sometime.  But I have quite a few unfinished ARPGs so no hurry.
