The Emepror of Vietnam opens gaming for the weekend!

[Tuna]

@Gus:  Good on ya', man!  You realize that you'll have to bow to pressure and set up a time during the week to have an extended session, or agree to several nights in a weeks time to make up for it ;)

@Tuna:  Just cuz I'm involved with one Warlock MP doesn't mean I am exclusive :)  And if you're singing the, "takes too long," song, then I guess it's me.  But what I want to know from all of my opponents is, what the hell are you doing to go so fast?!

Lol.. the length of the turn isn't an issue.. it's the nature of the game.. I just like something to distract me, while waiting.. When I play Warlock singleplayer, I sometimes do sets on the Total Gym, although I do sometimes bum out that I didn't 'watch' the AI during its turn..
Do I seem to do my turns quick (on the times that it's not hanging on 'another piece to move' and I don't realize it)?

Not over thinking.....  8)

Closing the browser playing porn during a gaming session might help.

No one should feel happy for me, I am basically being seized for manual labor all weekend, not sexytime.

The worst part of Warlock is the damned waiting. Usually I read in between turns, like War and Peace or the Bible

Sometimes I fall asleep.

With all the March Madness  basketball on and work I am not sure how much gaming I'll get in.  If I do it will be Far Cry 3 and StarCraft II, perhaps even some boardgaming.

ARMAIII and Red Winter and possibly some attempt at refueling some ships and spotting some U-boats in PQ-17.  The first convoy is of course 'Dervish' and no 'PQ' bestowed yet from some random operations room personage named Philip Quintillian (yes, that Quintillian -- the grammarian, right?) or something.

In Red Winter, yes, even as we speak, the bonfires are warming hundreds of irate Russians while the Finns sharpen their hunting knives as night falls.  Could be a very bloody night.

CMFI PBEM - was going well, found a spot for a Tiger with total view of the battlefield but 1000m from any enemy tanks - their shots are just plinking off the front armour, but then accidentally double clicked on the platoon commander giving him a move order which translates to the whole platoon moving - lost 50 men as they all ran out into the street to get mowed down!

CMBN PBEM - at that moving to advance stage on a great map

Read of on Dom 3 for the PBEMs there

Start Shogun II campaign

It's Operation Varsity Weekend at World of Tanks and I'll be spending a few hours playing it this weekend.

Of the other PC games I'll be playing, Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes is the first one to come to mind. Dunno what else, but doubtless there'll be a retro game or two or three.

I've finally worked my way through the tutorial and the bootcamp for War in the East so I'm going to have a go at actually playing a scenario, probably Battle for Kharkov 1942 from the Don to Donnets expansion. Also probably some Tropico 4 or Distant Worlds - Legends.

That sounds like a lot of fun.  You play that game every weekend?  :o

You should have bought the Game of the Year edition of Work which came with The Weekend DLC addon  :)

Distant Worlds: Starting a new game. Playing with a mod I did that changes all the races to human, but keeps the original race biases. Think I'm going to change some of the ship sets before I start. This is probably going to be my last one until Shadows is released.

Kerbal Space Program: Bought it on Steam the other day. Not sure why I didn't buy it earlier. Had fun doing the launch and orbit tutorials. Going to start an actual game tonight and see how many rockets I blow up before I am actually able to get something into orbit.

Skyrim: Doing the Dawnguard faction questline.

Diablo 3: Grinding inferno for keys and a set of plans that make a Legendary ring.

Been in the mood for something new ever since I was sick a few weeks ago. Skyrim just doesn't seem to be holding my attention like it was. Thinking of either getting King of Dragon Pass from GOG or Steam and Iron. Been looking at both for awhile but can't really decide if I want to get either of them.

Well I dunno!  I'm in a bit of a dilemma this weekend.  The two Dominions 3 games going on here are on pause for a few days.  I don't know whether to play a bit of it single player (can probably get through a couple of games) or play something else from my embarrassingly extensive library of barely-touched games.

Every second weekend.  But I get a week off every 4th week so I'm OK with it.  Honestly, I prefer working weekends and having days off in the middle of the week.  No annoying management types around at work on the weekends and places like the gym, parks, and restaurants are far less crowded on the weekdays.  It's mostly great.

Only a few things suck.  One is that the 12 hour shifts coupled with the commute means that I can't really do anything other than work on work days.  MAkes trying to follow an exercise regimen more of a challenge (that and I tend to eat way more on days where I'm working the night shift, like this weekend)   The other sucky thing is that  it sometimes makes it difficult to do things that are planned around the regular 9-5 work schedule that most people follow.  I tried joining a volleyball and an old farts rugby league but I can't always make practices or games so I got the boot.  Also makes social stuff a hassle at times as I can't always commit to events like parties, weddings, meet ups at the bar.  Good thing I'm an anti-social grognard!

Gears of War: Judgement baby.  Whooo!


I might try to fit in some Halo Wars and Gears of War 3.
