Gods and Kings has really given Civ 5 some legs, in my opinion. It's the only game I've been played in the last couple of weeks, besides a little bit of Max Payne 3.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

I've been playing Tropico 4 for the 360.  Pretty much identical to Tropico 3, but you can build hot air balloon stations!

Plus the people who give you smaller missions are semi-funny ethnic stereotypes: buck-toothed Chinese guy who speaks Engrish, the Arafat middle eastern dude, Redneck JR-type Texas millionaire, milquetoast Brit, etc.  But I'd have to imagine if you're playing a game that simulates a Latin American dictatorship, you're not overly sensitive toward that kinda thing.

Nothing, as usual.   :hmm:

In my defence the only game that's spiked some interest from me is Civ5+expansions, and for that I need to get my finger out and build a new pc first.   :blush:

My wife is playing the shit out of Skyrim.  We've logged the same amount of hours playing, but I'm lvl 16, and she's lvl 5.  She likes to explore and hoard shit.  It's annoying to watch.

That's why I'm not able to lvl up any char in any MMORPG.   :whistle: That and I need to play each race/class.  :ph34r:

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

I have got a mad Napoleonic wargame boner but the only real games are the old Talonsoft games(bad AI) or the HPS/John Tiller newer ones (Bad AI and looks like a 4 year old did the graphics).

Bleh. And no, I don't want to play any of you people.

I gave Space Marine a bit of spin as some silly mindless fun.  Turns out, it's not very good so far. 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

PC only or boardgames too?  You check out the La Bataille series?

Paradox is also working on theirs, but that's going to be a bit.

You might want to give the Matrix release, Crown of Glory, a look.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

PC. I have  La Bataille de la Moscowa all unpunched.

Crown of Glory is poop.

I finally got around to Strategic War in Europe on my laptop. Sorta fun plowing through 1939-1940 in 15 minutes and not having to deal with Paradox's bullshit.

AI is quite suspect though.

Napoleon Total War is about as Napoleonic as my turds.
