Wow! It's been a week already and I'm still playing Hearthstone.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Man, so many games are pulling at me right now.  Here's my list, but there's no way I'll get to all of them this weekend: 


Birth of the Federation (Balance of Power mod):  I don't play as the Ferengi very often, but it's usually pretty funny when I do.  They also tend to be something of a "Monty Haul" campaign.  ;D 

Commander The Great War:  Which side to choose?  Decisions, decisions... 

Crusader Kings II:  Would like to see what I might accomplish as an Irish count. 

Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes:  Jesus, there's spider armies everywhere!!! 

Pandora First Contact:  My scholars *will* unlock this planet's secrets! 

Rome II:  Now that patch 10 is out, I've started a new Athens campaign (still using the Four Seasons mod).

F1: 2013 continuing Toonces Cat's career.  Monaco was a bit of a disaster so I'm hoping I can make up some points on the Canada track.

In honor of the birthday of our esteemed friend, mirth, I will be picking up some random barfly for a weekend of hot, sweaty...gaming!  That's it, gaming!  Ok, it'll probably only be one game, EUIV, but, I will be playing ;)

but will you still be hot and sweaty

You are a naughty, and disturbed, boy ;)

Ireland is a great place to start CKII and get your feet wet.  Little known fact, along with no snakes, they have no spiders either ;)  That's because they all migrated to Fallen Enchantress :)

CK II - bought The Old Gods and Sons of Abraham - going to start as a count in England in 867 and see what happens

HoS extravaganza to finish review

I have a CKII campaign going, too.  Started as a Welsh Duke.  Just created the "Kingdom of Wales" from most of that and Cornwall, in the early 867 start.  Luckily the Vikings and the English have been too busy fighting each other to worry about me just yet.  Maybe I can start taking Ireland for my own be opportunistic if one of the other two get weakened.

Will also be continuing my TW Rome 2 campaign as Ptolemaic Egypt. 

Gotta big tabletop wargame based on the War of the Roses to put together and learn this weekend, if it shows up today as it's supposed to.  :)
Sounds good. I've struggled to get into CK2. Perhaps a game to persevere with. Did you get the Saxon skin pack?

Yep!  I have had a difficult time resisting CK2 DLCs.  Even the purely aesthetic ones that you may not even notice very often while playing, such as this. 

Fortunately I can't easily tell if there is DLC I am missing.  There are so damn many and no store indicators as to which you already own unless you put them all in your shopping cart and go into the checkout process.  It may have saved me from buying one or two more.

Also recently picked up the latest EU4 DLC so theyr'e both vying for my grand strategy time at the moment.  I couldn't wait for a sale to check out the new randomized Americas.
I bought some duplicate skins by accident at Gamersgate. Luckily they let me swap them for other stuff, but there is so many that - like you say - it is easy to lose track of it. I haven't got the Saxon skin, nor the Finno-Ugrian, but will probably get them in the next sale with blue coins. I haven't got the Sons of Abraham expansion - do you find it makes much difference?

I thought Pagan Gods was a good one. I have most of the dlc, just not the last expansion, and those dlc. I should get the Saxons though - playing an English Count in 1066, with an army dressed like one for 1266 just feels a little weird, especially when the Vikings (I have the norse dlc) attack. I guess this is what these splintered dlc packs were designed to achieve? ::)

I've noticed extra events.  There is a college of cardinals now, although I've not been involved much with it yet.  There is more options to spend your piety points on.

They're not as outwardly noticeable changes such as the Norse/pagan expansion, with it's much earlier start date, but it certainly adds value and extra options to the gameplay.
