Already put down a couple of hours of Civ IV BTS MP with a buddy.  I don't play RPG's, but I've been jonesing for one and I can't find my copy of NWN Platinum.  Got a good lead from Bison earlier and will check that out.

Go to gog.com they have NWN + Expansions for $5.


Thank you again kind sir.

Batman Arkham Asylum.  I even broke out my xbox 360 controller for it.

LOL.  I keep seeing you pop up on my Steam thingy everytime you start that game again.

@Longdan- thanks for the heads up.

@Metaldog- NWN has trouble working with Win7 for some people (like me) and patching it doesn't seem to work.  I tried everything I can find on the net to make it work with no success.  Just FYI.  For $5 it's worth the gamble IMHO.

I had pretty well decided to play Warlock and Civ5 this weekend and maybe Star Ruler. But I bought S2: Silent Storm Gold from GOG.com a while back and have decided to spend most of my time playing it this weekend. Strangely enough I purchased Silent Storm years ago and its retail box has never been opened--I haven't the foggiest why I never played it.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

@Toonces over at Wargamer a guy named Mitra had some mods and/or improvements
for Northern Crusade Real Warfare 1242 for download.  I never tried them but I
am pretty sure there are some guys here who liked them. I got too buzy.

Yeah, I think the links are still good for them, last I d/l'd it. 

It basically fixes some issues that were (and will never) get fixed in RW: Northern Crusades.  Small stuff like sometimes being able to see enemy units through a hill, and some nice little adjustments to the combat (IIRC, giving a bit more of a nerf to archers vs infantry in woods & such - archers are still quite murderous, especially on morale).  I believe he also expanded the unit limit in the battles, although I hadn't earned enough experience and coin in the campaign to push the original limits.  It's a very challenging game so don't be surprised if you get trampled a few times before catching your feet.

That's if he was talking about Northern Crusades, anyway.  The campaign on all the other 'Real Warfare' games are just a string of battles in a row, leading you by the nose.  I never even played those previous titles in the series since they don't have a sandbox campaign.  :-\

Depends on the machine i will be playing on:

On my pc (2006):

Haegemonia: Mars Campaign

And, thanks to Jarhead, i reinstalled

Genesis Rising which i never played so far.

on my laptop (2011):

Scourge of War: Chancellorville

and

Starpoint Gemini Timebreach. I just bought the dlc and the first mission is really tough...can't get rid of the 5 enemy ships and there's no spacestation around to do some repairs in between battles...if only i had opted for the nano-robots, i could repair the hull of my ship by myself...bad decisions in the past.

On my netbook (very handy when in the living room with my wife watching television...i sit next to her and do some gaming).

Star Trek: Birth of the federation, large balance mod. Cardassian campaign...huge map, so far no contact with any major races and trying to integrate the many small races around but it requires a lot of money...or more ships

Civil War Generals 2...still in the middle of the war around 1863....now fighting around Antietam...

I bought all the DLC for Elder Signs.  Man, Ithaqua is impossible to beat.

I've yet to beat Azeroth (sp?) in the vanilla game, but I've been watching some videos of the tabletop version and that's given me some ideas.  It'll be a fun game to play next week when I've got some downtime at my show.

I need to get on with MD to continue our MP Warlock game, and at some point Huw, Geek and I wan't to have a bash at one of the DoW games that we all invested in.

I think I'll dabble with all my purchases this weekend, with most emphasis on Spec Ops.  That one has grabbed me for some reason and just a few chapters away from completing it......and I rarely ever complete games so this says something to me:)  I'll also try and give some time to KOA, Borderlands, and the Lego games.  Way too many things with way too little time:)

Played some IL2 1946 last night.. Started a career as a HE-111 pilot.. don't know what I'm doing with level bombing yet, so basically just flew with the rest of the flight the first two tries... Watched some You Tube Videos after on bombing, will have to see if I can put it together today...

Also tried the Conflict of Heroes Demo.. ran a lil slow on the laptop.. but I enjoyed the first part of the tutorial..possibly a potential purchase.

Snowstorm coming, so hopefully some 'quality' gaming time today!

Going to hookup the new TrackIr5 Santa brought and play around with Rise of Flight and my other flight sims. I'll probably go through my recent sale purchases and pick one or 2 to check out as well...

@bob if you see me online, even if I am in game, ping me.  I'd like to move forward with that, too.

@Toonces thanks for NWN tip.  I know it's here in the house somewhere, it's just a matter of finding it.  And I run XP, so, I'm good to go. :-)

Will do mate - I'm hoping to get on a bit later, if not I should be ok for Sunday afternoon / evening. Whatever, I'll give you nudge if your on Steam.
