Weekend Gaming - May destroys my gaming resolution

[undercovergeek]

So 2012 was all about focused gaming, a few select games of perfection that i would become the master of and learn their every nuance - think Markshot and his railways - then May happened - PR3, GRFS, CK2, 2 betas, Endless Space and now Warlock. My miniscule desktop shortcut list now extends all the way down the right hand side of my monitor!

Without further a do then, whilst working my gaming round a visit to the folks with UC junior:-

CMBN scenario construction - im going to try some UK paratroops and the Holland countryside
Warlock - see what all you lot are shouting about
AJE testing

I would like to jump right into Endless Space and CK2 but i feel i need a day of work/junior/interruption free gaming for that. Does it make sense to say im so excited about starting CK2 that i cant bring myself to do it - click on icon, start game, pick king, quit - 5 times now - i know ill love it, just need the right frame of mind i think!

Since I got Third Age TW back up and running I've been continuing my campaigns in it but I'm about ready for a Total War break. I think I'll go back and see if I can make some more progress in Icewind Dale. Or just cut the grass.

I've been playing a WWII mod for CiV that's actually pretty good. You can find it here:

Gives a good light wargame feel to the game. Warning, however, it's a real ssytem hog.  :o I'll try to squeeze in a few more turns this weekend.

Also going to try and get a VASSAL session in of some LnL games.

I may fire up Endless Space to check put the new Beta (played teh Alpha). Also, finish up a Sword of the Stars 2 map.

I will finally break down and buy Warlock. Not my thing but so many people here love it, I have to check it out.

Continuing my Pilgrim campaign in Endless Space.  Also I was in the mood for a light economic sim, so I re-installed Monopoly Tycoon.

I have my usual PBEM campaigns going in Armada 2526 Supernova, plus we're starting a new game with OJsDad.  (Others are welcome to participate, by the way!) 


Otherwise, I plan on diving into Crusader Kings 2 this weekend (now that I've finally purchased it).  Can't wait!

Barthheart that is a phenomenal mod for CiV.  I love it a lot but you're right, it is a real hog especially when you try to play single player hotseat.


Here's my plan for the weekend:

Computer

Armada 2526 PBEM with the Grog boys.
Maybe a little Dawn of War II or Battlestations Pacific


Console  (I know, boo...hiss...but what can I say I'm loving it!)

Just picked up Mass Effect 3 on sale as well as Halo Wars both for Xbox 360
Magic 2012 Xbox 360, one last cheevo to pop and I've got all of them!
Ghost Recon Future Soldier Xbox 360
Maybe some Lego Pirates of the Caribbean co-op with my kids on PS3
Whatever else I have time for or tickles my fancy.

I can't believe it's Friday again already.  I don't know about you guys but I always have these beautiful list of games I intend to play over the weekend, but I never play all of them and sometimes I play games that aren't on the list.

Anyway, my gaming is all over the place lately.  The games I have been playing, and will probably play this weekend are:

Red Orchestra 2.  I really enjoy going MP with this game.  I think, though, I'm ready to move up into a squad or something and learn to play it properly.  Going lone wolf is an exercise in frustration.

Rise of Flight.  I'm usually pretty consistent with playing this.  None of my Falcon versions really works to my satisfaction anymore and I just can't seem to find the time to learn to play DCS.

My maybe list:
Skyrim.  I think I'm ready to get back into this again after a fairly substantial break.
ARMA 2?  Maybe...I'd like to learn how to play it.  I think I'm over the DayZ mod for a while- that is a huge time sink.

I've been eyeballing a few other games on my desktop- Scourge of War, STALKER, and a few others, but chances are I won't get into them this weekend.  Oh, and I have Witcher 2 sitting unopened on my desk...I'll probably install that tonight and actually play it; certainly more likely than STALKER.

My Armada 2526 Supernova PBEM games with da boyz, Shogun 2, and World of Tanks for sure. If time permits I would like to get back to Red Dead Redemption on my PS3 and give Fallout New Vegas a go.

[Tpek]

I'm playing the Game of Thrones RPG. Currently well into the game.

[mikeck]

Toonces, if you already own Scourge of War, and have a passing interest in real time tactical linear warfare (who doesnt?) then you need to play this. Just do the brigade tutorial and you will get an idea if you like it. Cant beat the AI (literally..I mean, I cant beat it at Army/Corp level)

I am leaving tomorrow on a business trip (again 3 weeks), so i'll be playing with my netbook (plenty of games)...so here's what i will start with:

- Battlefield Academy (with all addons)
- Broken Sword
- Strategic War in Europe
- One 4x space strategy...not sure which one: MOO 1-3, Reach for the stars, Starships unlimited or Birth of the federation...
- Caesar III
- Conflict: Desert Storm

[Arctic Blast]

Getting together with a few friends tonight, so I'll bring a few board games along.

I'm playing a lot of Splinter Cell : Conviction, and really enjoying it so far. And the Deniable Ops missions are a lot of fun as well.

Aside from that, probably a bit more of my Diablo 3 Demon Hunter (Nightmare, Act 3, currently Level 46).

This weekend I shall be playing Rift exclusively.
