Mostly that is it played on Saturday before college football.  Except those Friday games and a couple on Sunday.  I like the teams that play goodly.

Rogue Legacy is pretty addictive.

Picked up a used copy of Bioshock Infinite for the 360.  Didn't think I'd like it as much as the first two, but I'm digging it so far.

I bought Panzer General II off GOG to play on my old PC.  Still a great game.  Noticed something though, you never really get to use really heavy artillery.

You might want to give Open General a try as well.  It's a free implementation/variant of PG II.  Some things are better than the original, some things are worse.

Yeah, I'm going to grab that as soon as they finish support for Windows 8.

Been bouncing around all over the place lately.  Played UFO:Aftermath up to the last mission, but just can't be arsed to finish the game.  Also revisited JA2 again.

Currently, I'm playing WitP:AE seriously for the first time since getting it for Christmas.  I toyed with the Japanese for a few turns right after I got it, but the "OOH, shiny!" of all the THQ games I had recently picked up cheap drew me away.  Now I am 10 days into an Allied campaign, playing the Ironman scenario.  I am purposely not peeking at the Japanese side to avoid seeing what ahistoric surprises the scenario designers added.  I could be talked into writing a game-weekly AAR, if anyone is interested.

I used heavy artillery quite a bit, particularly to cover troops.  I love setting up 4 gun batteries around a unit and watching the enemy units that try to attack explode.  :menace:

You get gun batteries sure, but rarely anything over 150mm.  I think the US gets the heaviest gun artillery with the 8 inch guns.
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

Neat.

When you feel for a Languish PBEM WITP:AE slaughterfest, hook me up.

I'm even willing to try as Japan, even though I haven't a clue on how to play the production/industrial side of it.

By all means, please.

Latest Bioshock. Setting is completely awesome etc, but I feel that the FPS is not the greatest engine for this story.

Yeah-- it's nice that you get to see Columbia before it gets torn apart.  Wish they had given you that chance with Rapture (outside of Bioshock 2 Multiplayer, which didn't give you much).  I think they went a little overboard with the plot, though.  Should've kept it simpler.
