Not really sure. I'll probably start going through my sale stash and pick out a couple to start with...maybe Imperialism I/II or Nexus, The Jupiter Incident. I'll also mess with Carcassonne that I picked up on a whim yesterday on Gamersgate for some blue coins ($5)...

where did you find Imperialism II on sale?

Oops, sorry, my bad. I've got an original Imperilism II CD. Poor wording on my part... :-\

Aw, and here I got all excited for a moment. :( (I've long heard praise for both games, but the second one especially.) Here's hoping it becomes available on GOG before too long!

I haven't used the AH. All my gear I've found with the exception of 2 piece. I got a 500+ DPS hand crossbow and a 1000+ DPS fist thingy from players who just gave them to me. I think they felt sorry for my pathetic gear. My monk is 60 +1 paragon. I've had no luck at all finding legendary equipment hopefully that changes before I get Diablo 3 fatigue and need to take a break again.

The Witcher 2. I'm usually not into RPG's that much, but for $7.50 on Steam, I thought I'd give it a shot. Anyone here thats' plyaed it have any advice or tips?

Have fun.

I put off solving the main quest for as long as possible. Once I solved it the magic left the game. I played several more hours, but it just never seemed the same afterwards. I suspect opinions will vary on this, but that's my take.

After buying all those games during the holiday sales and trying to figure out which ones to play, I got Railroad Tycoon II Platinum up and running on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer (and I didn't have to buy the Steam version!). So I'll probably be playing it for awhile this weekend. It's like I've found an old friend.

I'll try to find some time to play Starpoint Gemini and Scourge of War: Chancellorsville.

In the middle of Mass Effect 2, as part of my replay of the entire series.

^Let us know how it turns out. My all time favorite character in the ME series is definitely Garrus, but in ME2 Thane comes in a very close second.

I see the drops in Diablo 2 are still quite a few levels lower than your character is. :( That's still disappointing. Not only did they force everyone into their AH system, they also artificially force you to give or trade a lot of your loot off to different players or characters. Most of the keepers I find for loot end up going to one of my lower level characters. I thought they were gonna "adjust" that upwards in an update? :-\

Well my Monk isn't too bad off for a first time play through on Inferno. My Demon Hunter is in sorry shape gear wise although I was able to solo Diablo on Hell difficulty. 90% of loot is crap. The 9% is ok if you have an alt you want to save it for but it's a gamble that it'll be something you need. 1% is useful. OK 1% maybe too high but I'm ok with it.
