Don't be so quick on DW either; it certainly is old school as well, taking the best from it and going futher.
It's like being there when MOO2 or XCOM or other giants where developed, great times ahead as well [:)]

Weeks have to few days and days have to few hours...

Trying to play Lord of the Rings online, Star Trek online, DW, Napoleon: Total War, World of Tanks, Monkey Island (on IPad), XCOM, Dead Rising 2, Death Spank and Company of Heroes every week.

It doesn't fit well in standard weeks (That ones where I must work...)...

If anyone have a solution to extend time PLEASE tell me [:D]

I'll quit my job if/when I win in the lottery.
Or maybe I just continue my job anyway.

Indeed.

On-topic: Finally went and ordered Demons Souls for PS3 (got lucky and found the Black Phantom edition on discount). I was huge fan of the Severance: Blade of Darkness and Demons Souls looks and sounds similar. Have to see if all the talk about difficulty is right. Challenging and unforgiving ain't problem but plain cheap makes me feel bloodthirsty, in a very bad way.

Usually at least 3. One or two War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition, an ongoing DW RotS and at least one HPS Sims game (either as play tester agsint the AI or with another player). More than 3 or 4 games eats too much time and I can't play regularly.

Wow, didn´t know anyone else then me still playing some XCom UFO-Defense.[:D]

I didn´t played RotS since 3 weeks, at this time i play Dragon Age 2 but today I want to start a new rotS game with the 1.5.0.6 patch and the super AI mod. (+ some of the music from BSG Soundtrack; I think the music perfectly fits to this game)

Depens on the mood and hour...
Im playing for now:
Distant Worlds
Free Space 2 SCP - Got in the mood to fly space shooters
Bioshock 2

I just quit Star Trek Online

*That* is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence.

I'm playing DW & WitP AE.  Right now I need to finish up my Canadian & US tax forms.  So everything is on the back burner for a few days.

Sounds like a super realistic real-life simulator to me. Like Sims but "better". [:)]

A while back I was playing DW/ROTS, Star Ruler, SoaSE/Ent and GalCiv/DA at the same time. Don't ask me why, but they were all good in their own way. I do have a favorite, though [;)]

Not much going on right now is there? I've still got a lot to do, I'm only a Captain (see website in sig).

They'd better start making it more Trek and they'd better do a good job with the Romulan faction or I'm out for good. I think alot of others will do the same and probably turn to The Old Republic.

I tried the free scare away for star trek online, and was never tempted to pay anything (nor play much time in the free scare away). It felt so utterly cheap. Not being a trekkie helped.

The latest old republic movies and info really made me impatient for that one, after me having been able to keep a rather distant "lets see how it turns out" stance so far. Not being a star wars nut, but rather a bioware fan helped in keeping some distance. For a while [:(]

I've only been playing STO for a couple of months and it's apparantly changed alot since its release over a year ago. Definately, the early game content was poor and like all MMO's your abilities are very limited, for example, your ship's tractor beam won't even work until you've got a crew member with the skill to use it.[8|]

However, the weekly episodes have been far above par, only a few comic book villains have brought them down. The stories and gameplay have all felt really good and it's like playing an episode of Star Trek every week. It might not be on the tellly, but it's on STO! Sounds like an advertising slogan![:D]

They're also working on some interesting ideas, like a duty roster for your crew and a Mass Effect style ground combat system as an alternative to the current MMO standard select and hit the fire/abilities buttons.

I only play one game at a time. Several reasons for this really. Time constraints, juggling work and various leisure activities... No time for gaming sometimes. Playing Dragon Age 2 now. Will get to DW again once DA2 game is done and the latest patch is out. Besides, even if I had the time, I wouldn't be playing several games at the same time. Breaks my thoughts and I loose the immersion/interest factor.

However, one thing is certain... No matter what games I leave DW for, I always come back to it. Nothing beats space strategy games. Nothing. Not even a Canadian & US tax forms game.

Where can I buy this tax forms game?  I see it comes highly recommended here.
