I'm going to crush my way through BLACK, the single player of Lost Planet, and maybe start a new game of Gal Civ 2 and PC Oblivion.
It's dreadful cold out, it's icy in a lot of parts of the US, and it's the perfect weekend for a gaming marathon.
Among other things.
What's your plan?

I'm playing Romance of the three kingdoms 11, possibly trying to get more of the end game of Rogue Galaxy done. I might see if I can get my new character in Titan quest thru epic.
Rotk should probably keep me busy the entire weekend.

What's your plan?
X-Com (*COUGH*), EVE (if my DSL line stabilizes), maybe some Forces of Corruption or NWN2.
Try and get outside a bit. We're having a really dry winter so far - today it was sunny and clear with temps in the low 70s. That's thong and t-shirt weather.

I'll probably try and finish Titan Quest with my current character, so it won't feel like I've abandoned him when the expansion arrives and I start a new one.

- Going through some Xbox Live Arcade games I've neglected and picking up easy achievements

Thanks to you bastards, Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2 which I'm loving. It's like the Harvest Moon of JRPGs or something.

The Journey to Wild Divine and, if it shows up this Saturday, Wisdom Quest.

Saturday some friends are coming over and we're playtesting a pulp adventure boardgame I've been working on. In the few spare hours I may be able to eke out at night, I'll be playing either the new version of Fall From Heaven, Dark Avatar, or Battle for Wesnoth.
Crackdown... I want to finally finish off the 3rd gang.
More WoW + TBC... need to hit 66, maybe 67.
Finally installed Geneforge 4 and enjoying it...
I grabbed a copy of that FFH mod for Civ 4 and once I can figure out how to make it not instantly crash my game that seems worth a spin...
Maybe make a little more headway in UFO Aftershock...
Check out all the unlocks in 2142...
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, and Rogue Galaxy with my boys...
No shortage of games to play. :)

I got into the LOTR Online beta so I'll probably play around with that this weekend.

Galciv2, Rogue Galaxy, ROTK 11, random 360 games for mp. The rogue galaxy and ROTK depend on my pstwo actually cooperating and staying functional.
Bingeing on the sims. I'm finally playing around with OFB. To Rod: tell me Pets isn't this good..please.

I'm going to try to get through Shadow of the Colossus and then start on Fable: The Lost Chapters.

I'm going to play the Find The Retailer That Wants To Break The Street Date game. Couldn't agree more with how sadistic it is to have TWO great new games both with street dates RIGHT AFTER a holiday weekend. FUCK YOU XEMU.

Definitely Gears of War, continue on the new oblivion game i started. Trying to get a decent character going before the expansion comes out.

Acquire
Ra
Thurn and Taxis
On the schedule for today is Power Grid and Caylus.
You can find descriptions of these games on www.boardgamegeek.com. I'm at www.strategicon.net, the convention called Orccon.
I am also getting a few minutes of WoW in everyday.

That's a really strange thing to say. Have you personified him in some way? You feel bad for him, maybe?
Anyway, those of you who have a 3 day weekend really suck :(.
On the flip side, I get Tuesdays and Thursdays off (well, I have office hours on Thursdays, but not a full day), so I guess I'm not in a position to complain.

Fuckers. I had to work Saturday and some today. Leaving me time for sporadic run-ins with Battles or Norghan and nothing else.

Nah, it just bugs me not to have finished the game even once with the only higher-level character I have so far.
4-day weekend here too. Will go visit a friend that has built a new quad-core rig with a 8800 and a huge monitor, I want to see Oblivion in all its glory instead of stuttering in my poor machine.
Had an awesome rFactor online race Sunday. 1979 F1 mod, makes your sideburns grow thicker:

Posting from work. Screw all you happy gamers with 3-day weekends. Ah well, the wife and kids are all home today, so even if I was too I'd get little if any gaming time.
Had I played something over the weekend, it would probably have been something I can't talk about. Stupid NDAs. It might have been fun though, as I possibly could have reached a milestone in my character's development.
Were I single with no kids, this would have been a fantastic weekend for gaming. Cold, icy and inhospitable, it was perfect electronic cave dwelling weather.
Posting from work too...had I been home, I'd probably just be running some lv.70 instance hoping for a set drop while grinding rep.
So this is why people hated WoW at 60...

I was hoping to play FFXII, Castlevania:Dawn of Sorrow, and Fatal Frame III. What I ended up playing was RE4: PS2 version, FFVI: GBA, and Trapt.
Trapt was a bit of an odd choice for me in that I had never played any of the prior games (Kagero +/- the word deception in the title). The hook (build traps to kill people in an oddly detached, vaguely mideval gothic horror world) was enough to get me interested when I saw it for only $20. I don't know if it will hold up, but the interaction between the traps (spring floor to magnet wall to giant sharpened pendulum) has been fun so far.
RE4 - It remains a mystery to me why this game would be so compelling, given that I've already played through the game once on the GC. A few more scenarios with Ada Wong - ok, that should be fun, but is it really worth playing through the whole game to get there? Well, who knows, because once I started playing again, the game sucked me in, and now I can't wait to go back to kneecapping zombies, or whatever they are. The PS2 graphics aren't quite as nice as the GC, but the progressive scan option helps quite a bit.
I actually pushed through the new Ada scenario a few months back on PS2. It's pretty neat actually, lasts a good 6+ hours and though most of the chapters are recycled and remixed, it's kinda interesting to see what she was supposedly doing while Leon was killing spaniard zombies(hint: she also kills lots of spaniard zombies).
Oh and one chapter is entirely new for the PS2: assets, level scripting, everything. Pretty surprising and unexpected.

I played WoW most of the weekend: levelling up my dwarven hunter, experimenting with different pets, and running a few small instances and areas with the small, random, guild I'd joined.
Also managed to get through most of the RoTK 11 tutorials but didn't have time for a sit-down game.

Of all the games I could be playing....
I was addicted to Prince of Persia 2: Angsty Emo Prince. Even though I enjoyed the "new" Prince of Persia on the Xbox I passed on this one. Well here I am with no 360 hard drive and a Gametap account. Tried my 360 controller with it and it works great! The game is actually pretty decent. This is a surprisingly difficult game - puzzles can get a little tricky and the enemies are relentless! Definitely worth checking out if you've got Gametap and a good controller.

I played through half of Gears on Insane.
I was looking forward to completing a season of NBA 2K7 with my woeful Sonics but i kept getting a disk error halfway into each game, so I went skiing.

Ended up getting back into Oblivion now that I have my 360 hooked up to a new high def set. Level 15 and my bow/stealth guy is finally starting to have some success in combat (at least in dungeons). Working my way through the Thieves Guild quests.
