Well, I was going to play Stellaris exclusively (again), but my current game has hit an impasse and the next patch is too close for me to want to restart.

Instead, I might look at Wargame: AirLand Battle picked up in a recent sale, and also we just got Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate for the Wii U which I'm just starting to get into.

Enjoy the long weekend, everyone!  We've got a public holiday in the UK too! :)

Yeah? What's the holiday over there? "Pretend Like Soccer's Interesting Day"? 8)

Stellaris and 7 Days to Die.  Maybe some EU IV.

I've been on vacation all week but that doesn't mean I've been doing unlimited gaming...my wife is expert at creating Honey Doo lists.... :knuppel2:
So it's been planting veggie garden, setup back deck furniture, get pool ready for guests, clean house for guests who are here now for the weekend, etc.
Plus rebuild my car engine now that I have all the parts.

Gaming will be:
PBEM with Jason.
Some Stellaris.
VASSAL work.
Build components for new PnP air combat game Table Air Combat I just bought into. Looks cool. Will definitely be bringing it to Origins to force the others to try it... Might even do a review from that...

But mostly this weekend will be beer drinking and swimming as the forecast calls for 30C or better all weekend.

Salute to veterans all over the world this, and every, weekend.  O0

I'm guessing the list didn't include the Origins team conf call list night, eh?

Heh... yeah sorry about that. Out of towners showed up last night and we got into the beer and I spaced the call....  :-[

Personally I think only golf is a duller sport than "soccer". ;)

Civil War II, Distant Worlds: Universe maybe

Maybe New MOO and/or Stellaris.

I'm assuming you're a basketball fan and fair enough there might not be as many scores (or whatever you call them) as you have in your version of netball but at least it is more interesting than that funny version of rugby some Americans play.

Anyway what more excitement do you need than Mourinho arriving at the Theater of Dreams.

:)

Plans are for some 4X for me this weekend though can't really decide what exact game or games, possibly Stellaris or GalCiv III or New Moo or Endless Legends etc. etc.

I'm home drunk after a night of semi heavy drinking. I bought a nice beer which only cost like 25$  :uglystupid2:

Anyway. i'm autocalcing my way through the orcs. Damn that's a hard campaign.

Sat it's time for another party so not much gaming this weekend.

Sir Slash

I actually watch a little soccer. It's a Life Lesson. A bunch of people who can't pick-up the ball, kill themselves getting it down the VERY large field. And then one guy who can pick it up, does so and kicks it back down where it came from. That's pretty much my whole life up to about 40. I think nobody should be allowed to pick-up the damned ball even the officials and to make sure, everybody should play handcuffed from behind. It wouldn't be more interesting but it would be funny as hell.

My 3 day weekend turned into a 1 day weekend around 4pm PST today :'(

Gaming wise its going to be some mix of Stellaris, Overwatch, Elite and Diablo 3. Got my copy of Falling Sky in today so I'll be spending some time reading through the rules but not sure if I'll get it on the table or not.
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic
