I've got an OOTP game going that started in 1901 using historical players.  I'm playing as the Red Sox and didn't trade Babe Ruth.  Big  difference :)  I'm up to 1941 and the players will not be missing time due to WWII.  (There's an optional rule for players to miss time they missed in real life.)  It'll be fun to see what Ted Williams does with an uninterupted career.

Finished a 9 ball match on my iPad. Very dissappointing that although the game looks similar to the PC version, the iPad AI players suck big time. Virtual Pool by Celeris.

I'll be exploring the city of Markarth in Skyrim. You see I walked into this bar in Whiterun and this guy challenged me to a drinking contest. After 3 drinks I passed-out and woke-up in Markarth. What was in those drinks? I better stick to Nord Mead from now on. I've only been here for an hour and already a lady was murdered in the marketplace, there's a giant spider they want me to kill in the museum, somethings eating the dead bodies in the Hall of the Dead, and I got trapped in an abondoned house with some kind of Hell Lord in the basement. What a city! What a game!

BTW... the Nords like to slip you Roofies all the time.  Who knows what they did with your mouth while you were out.  :'( 

It's like a trip to the questionable dentist's office.

Most likely it will be Civ V G&K all weekend.  Although I did just download the Day Z mod for ARMAII and might have to go get eaten by some zombies for fun.

I can't believe the popularity of the Day Z mod.  I guess zombies are irresistible.

Work is prepping up stuff for a cargo barge in a couple of weeks, and I stupidly volunteered to help crate stuff up and do much forklift driving. So probably not much.

Finished Episodes from Liberty City last week, so now I need something action-y to mix with L.A. Noire. Maybe Dead Island? Or maybe I'll start up Silent Storm?

I'm afraid it's worse than that Nefaro. I woke up in a temple and the priestess told me I had defiled one of their statues while drunk. After I saw the curves on that statue though, I had re-defilement urges stone-cold sober.

Once I figured out what I was doing it is turning to be alot of fun.  Frustrating when you die and lose your stuff but you keep building on what you learn in the game.

It also helps I am playing with a friend and we have managed to find each other a couple times (which is no easy task) and team up.

Well I ended up playing Battle for Middle-Earth of all things this late night/early morning.  Apparently I'm in a Tolkien-esque mood at the moment.

Nice!  You have the Supernova expansion, or just the original?

Just vanilla at the moment.  As I recall, you're the one who talked me into trying it again. :)
Yes, I probably was...  :P

Just finished Broken Sword. Will be playing Broken Sword II and Strategic War in Europe.

I've been playing Global Relocation Project Manager.  What a f**k*ng boring game!  (I cannot be done with this soon enough.)

Toonces

LOL @ Markshot.

So far, I've only played BMS Falcon...a game NOT on my list... ::)

Working all weekend, but finally finished reading the rules for AH Titan and have been playing it hard on my iPad (nite shift does have its benefits). Super fun thanks to a decent AI. Finally a game to rival Neuroshima Hex on iOS.

Also have a game of VG Carrier on the table at home. My third run through scenario #6, the last intro scenario before taking on the full standard game rules. so many game mechanics to learn, but well worth the effort from what I've seen so far. I also plan to play this at work using Vassal during the quiet hours.
