Not sure yet what I'll be playing.  I'm in the mood for some RPG action, but I don't know what for.

Dishonored: Knife of Dunwall, almost done. Then maybe I will buy the other Dishonored. DLC, The Brigmore Witches. And maybe some Left 4 Dead 2 if we can get the band back together.

Picked up Wargame European Escalation as part of last week's Humble Weekly Deal. Going to spend some time with it.

you didn't follow the link, eh?  :)

I just got my copy the other day, and will be trying to set up a FTF this weekend out in the Man Cave

I did. I just thought you might be showing the physical game since it would be a better representation than a link to the Vassal mod.

You're gonna have to post a thread about how it goes. I'm still waiting to get a 4 player Vassal game of Andean Abyss going. I'm supposed to be playing with 3 guys I met at WBC but it's taking a long time.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7.  Almost finished with the story.  This is one of the easier Lego games I've played.  Great way to relive your childhood days of playing with Legos. 

Rome II

Grand Theft Auto V.  I haven't played it in a while and need to devote some time again.  Great game but too many other distractions at the moment...

Diablo III

I finished Bioshock. Pretty good game. I started Bioshock 2, but I'm underwhelmed thus far - I don't like playing as a 'Big Daddy,' nor with being shackled to a little girl. I haven't quite gotten that far yet, but it's been heavily hinted in the game that this will be happening soon.

I am getting in a game of Arkham Horror for the AAR write-up on 10/31.

I currently am holding a personal record in Steam for having money in my Steam wallet for two weeks now without spending it. I've been avoiding those little $2.50 sales of bad games, hoping for some kind of big deal. So far, no joy. Hopefully something will pop up here, soon.

One thing I'd love to own is Skyrim and Bioshock Infinite...TWO. Two things I'd love to own is Skyrim, Bioshock Infinite, and Wargame: Euro...THREE. Three games I'd love to have...

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH GAMEQUISITION!!!

Espana 1936 -- Maybe I can make it into Spring 1937 with the Republicans?
Sir, you are being hunted -- learn to use the shot gun and find an ax
CMFI -- classic tactical fun
CLOD -- a few nostalgic moments?
ARMAIII -- a few puzzled moments?
Flying Colors -- Havana 1748 with minor mods

  Looks promising -- but we shall see.

Hmm.  There's an idea.  I haven't played that one in a little while now.  :-[

I was wondering how you were progressing with that one.  Last I knew, it sounded like you'd gotten most of the north secured for the time being, but that the Nationalists were regrouping...

   As I recall -- game2 was a disaster because I went after the Nationalists up north and down south at the same time and about a month too early.  Game2.1 (which is a restart of Game2 in Dec 1936) seems to be going better:  two big Nationalist armies are besieged up north and I'm giving ground down south while the Russian tanks get to the front.  I think it's early Feb 1937.  Historically the Condor Legion arrived in May 1937, so I want to be in an Okay position as the Bf109 - s turn up and the Italians and Panzers get rolling.

   Historically the critical moment in early 1937 was the mass Italian tank attack at Guadalajara in early March 1937.  Republican air power seems to have stopped that attack.  The SB-2s are ready, but if things go differently -- well -- anything could happen.
