Time for a weekend gaming thread?

[W8taminute]

^Fair enough. I'll be by with a case of Narragansett and my entire Bill Murray DVD collection.

I'll bring the Pizza, Steak 'n Cheese Hoagies, Chocolate Ice Cream, and my Xbox so we can play Battlefield 3 co-op...yeah!

That is of course, if the warden let's me go out to play.  Somefink tells me that is not going to happen.  If only someone would invent a machine that would magically align all of our free time think of the possibilities.

It exists. It's called divorce. I don't recommend it, but if we all did it at the same time we could hang out.

And be poor together...  :P

But rich in friendship (which is still poor).

Diablo 3 is pretty much my game for the next 4 days. Although Steam's Ubisoft sale might get me to buy something...

Away from the screen, Earth Reborn is definitely getting some play. And probably either Nuklear Winter '68 or Band of Brothers, too.

I don't know' man.  The bunch of you would have made a pretty cool neighborhood growing up.

I'll be Working my way through nightmare difficulty on Diablo 3. Somehow I've ended up way under geared and RNG is refusing to cooperate. I can solo stuff well enough but once I add a friend or two my survivability goes down to zero. Still having a blast with it.

If I can tear myself away from D3, then I might put in some time with the World of Warcraft: Mist of Panderia beta.

I should have some time tonight and tomorrow for gaming.  Sunday will be spent similarly to Bison with a number of screaming kids at my daughter's b-day party.  It'll be at the beach, at least!

For tonight/tomorrow, I am chock full of new games to try out.  I just cleared out Kvatch and closed my first Oblivion gate in Oblivion, so I'll probably play some more of that.

I just bought a whole handful of games, one of which is War in the North, and I plan to give that some game time.

I have a Steam 50% off coupon for King Arthur II, which I am going to buy, but I will probably play more of my ongoing King Arthur original campaign.

And beyond that, who knows.  Mount and Blade of some sort and just too many games to keep track of. 

[Rizik6]

I will mostly be playing Diablo 3 with a little Ghost Recon Online thrown in here and there.

[Toonces]

I bopped around a bunch of games tonight.  Nothing could hold my interest very long, except.....

...except for King Arthur.  You know, this game really hits a sweet spot for me.  I'm sort of bummed at how badly it was treated for the most part (IMO).  It really is a magnificent game.  I know a lot of folks find that M2TW doesn't provide much of a challenge, but I have never found myself lacking for a challenge in KA.  In fact, many times (like right now), I have to take a break because of brain burn.  Like in my campaign right now, I have no easy choices, no wasted moves to make.  I have serious things I need to do, and all of them will require getting down and dirty with ugly, difficult tactical battles on which the fate of the last 80 turns will revolve.  It's quite an investment of gaming time. 

I just love this game.  Sure, there are some things I don't like, but for the most part, it really scratches my gaming itch.  In fact, my biggest complaint would just be that the game is so hard.  There are tough decisions to make every turn, and plenty of tough fights, and all around it is quite challenging, but the atmosphere is top notch.  I highly recommend this game to anybody with even a passing interest in the subject matter.

I'm very slowly downloading Batman: Arkham City on a connection that is envious of 20mb, never mind 60mb. I live in Central London on a road which is about 50 yards away from Virgin Cable (fast cable), but that does me exactly no good since the last 50 yards may as well be light years.

Never mind, because in the meantime I'm enjoying more and more practice at Conflict of Heroes and may well delve into MP games this weekend. I'm tempted to pick up Warlock because I'm sure I'd like it and it is being actively discussed, but I figure I can also hold off easy enough until it is patched, expanded and discounted.

I'm also reading the excellent Day Z diaries over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun. Every one moves me a hex closer to buying Arma Combined Operations so I can play the mod. Last time I bought a game to play a mod was Medieval Total War II (for the second time) in order to play Third Age (Lord of the Rings mod)

I'll be playing some LnL 'Cobra' scenario's later, and maybe more Shogun 2 as I have almost finished my first campaign.

Just now I keep stopping to look at Diablo 3 which the wife is playing. For some reason to do with her WoW/battlenet account, she got it as a free download......looks OK, but not sure if its my kinda game :-\

[Huw the Poo]

I think there was an option to get D3 for free if you sign up to WoW for a year.

[bob48]

Yep, you're right Huw, since there are several others from her Guild on playing it as well.

Looking at it, it reminds me of Dungeon Seige / Neverwinter Nights / Baldurs Gate type games, which she also used to play a lot (pre WoW).

[Rayfer]

I'm still working through Decisive Campaigns: WtP Poland scenario....great and yet very challenging game.
