What are you playing? (Redux)

EU: Rome is pretty great, combines the best of the EU series and CK very well, while still doing the period right.  As the Roxolani I have successfully conquered the decedent fools of the Bosphoran Kingdom and have run slave raids (all-cavalry armies to defeat barbarians and bring back slaves) as far as the Suebi and Dacians and Caucasian Albania in the East.  However, I just changed the government to Military Republic and my great leader lost an election, took control of the army, and declare a civil war.  I'm playing as the great leader and am having some difficulty, as sieges are a bitch with all cav armies.

Yes. The problem is, the map is small and there are very few countries, so it gets repetitive despite the characters.

It is a most excellent paving ground for CK2 however.

They should really just expand the map for this in a mod.  To Baktria, or even better yet include all of India and Burma.  And various Steppe tribes (the Yuezhi-Tocharians, eastern Aryans, all of Parthia, maybe the early Turks). 

The game itself is pretty fantastic, though I can't quite find out why the Civic faction has been running Rome for the last two decades.

Battlefield 1943.  It's kinda fun, although I wish that there were more players per map.  The great thing about WWII is that it was mass combat, and you kind of lose that in the game.  Still, it's a fun, cheap little game.

Oblivion, Target for Today: rescuing Newheim the Portly's Flagon, a magic mug that keeps beer cold forever. I don't need to say, Newheim is not a Briton!

Gave me a much harder time than I had anticipated. Companions in Oblivion are worse than useless, they refuse to sneak and always charge headlong into anything they see, but Maglir is worst than most, his armour incredibly noisy and his boastful dialogue gets to my nerves... and in addition the members of the band that robbed Newheim were far better than your average brigand, as I guessed when I saw they had names.

Luckily they were split in two groups, but anyway it came as a bit of a shock that they actually had eyes, sharp eyes, and noticed when I shot an arrow at one of their friends. In both cases they reacted charging at me and I survived only because I had ample supplies of potions. You may cry 'Foul' and call it doping, but when one has to fight against four bandits in a dark cave, the gloves come off!

Great fun

Pretty cool, I like sandbox driving games. Having all of Oahu to play with is nice.

To replicate the languish experience playing a game, you need somebody constantly bitching to do your turn.

Putting a mirror on the other side of the table does not count as "other person".
