With failing hard at making up a cool title for the PWG post out of the
way, my weekend plans are thus:

Rayman Origins (PS3) - Because it's a good game and I really really need
to do something other than play Skyrim.

Skyrim (PC) - Working hard on the thieves guild stuff still, attempting
to get it back in working order now I've completed the main questline.
The house in Riften is quite nice and contains a couple of Mannequins
for the display of all that cool armour you've been collecting. Shame
you can't use the boat out the back.

Putting my PC in a bigger case (PC) - Long story short: I'm an
idiot. Having decided that overclocking my Q6600 is a good idea (it
really is), I went ahead and researched cooling options, eventually
plumping for the Corsair A70. I was a little worried it would be a bit
too wide as I have a dinky case, and took great pains in making it
wasn't. It isn't. The issue is that is'a good 2cm too tall and
requires I either cut out a section of my case (I did consider this
for a few seconds), send it back or buy a new case. As the case won't
even take a 120mm fan, I decided on the latter option. I just need to
find one that has 16cm clearance above the CPU.

Oh, and we've reached due date (today) on baby number 2 so there's a
very real chance I won't be doing any of that.

I have gained Lydia. I have killed by accident an archery trainer (from
the first village, can't remember his name). He had all my training gold
on his corpse, so not all bad. Although I'm an Altmer mage, I decide to
do the theives guild quests first and generally hang around in Riften.
The house looks nice and I'll probably buy that one. I want to get a
horse. Don't know how easy the theifly bits will be as an Altmer. I used
the shadow stone for daily invisibility. Don't know if that will help. I
bought all the spells from the mage vendor dude in Whiterun. That helped
a lot.

My fire atronach is AWESOME. I like to summon her to kill wolves.

I like walking everywhere in the first 50% or so of play time of games
like this, so I can populate my map. Then in the back half of the game,
when I've seen lots of the world, I've likely got a fast travel point
close to where I need to go.

GLWG (Android)

Must do more of this, I've neglected it a bit.

Great Little War Game.

It's a turn based battle game, with differing unit types.

Think Advance Wars, I suppose.

Can manufacture new units, there are transport units, snipers, grunts,
bazooka guys etc.

It's very decent, I think. Playing it on the big tablet is nice.

There's not much about race/career choice that really affects your
ability to do any of the various guild/faction quests.

The thieves guild quests are a good place to start as well, as the
benefits of restoring the thieves guild are universally useful.

I found a staff the other night that summons a storm atronach. I'm not
playing as a conjurer, so it's proving bloody useful.

Saints Row The Third (360)
Since finishing Act 1 I've been ignoring the missions and just messing
around and buying stuff. I now own every store and property in the game,
with about $32k coming in every 15 minutes or so, which means by the
time I get to the harder missions near the end I can comfortably afford
all the weapon upgrades. My SMG now sets people on fire, which is nice.
Still really needs a cover system though.

Mario Kart 7 (3DS)
Only done the first two 50cc GPs, so a bit slow and dull, but
oh-so-lovely. Am going to do it all sequentially so might be a bit slow
and dull for a bit, but even then it's nice, can't wait to get onto the
good stuff. And maybe some online if anyone's up for some.

Halo CEA (360)
Only done the first level, should really play it some more.

Vanquish (360)
Maybe. Got it from LoveFilm, not played it, just really enjoying my
current owned games too much to want to.

Because TheHut are cunts and it still hasn't been dispatched.

Zen Pinball (3DS)
Because it is effing awesome.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (360)
I've spent the last, ooh, 5 hours doing nothing related to the story at
all. And it is fantastic. Now, having bought all the shops and faction
buildings, most of the other buildings, all the aquaducts, all the
tunnels, and done all the Borgia Towers, I think I might actually have to
play the *game*. Or, I could go and do the wolf lair things. Or some
assassination contracts. Hmm.

Good luck!

I did quite a bit with destruction early doors. The trap runes are as
useful as they were in Oblivion. I can see though, that going forward,
because Destruction doesn't scale, I'll spend much more time in
Conjoration so I can summon help. So I'm gradually improving that school.

W.E.L.D.E.R. (iOS)
My favourite iOS game of the moment. I'm pretty hopeless at it, and
generally fail around level 6, but it's utterly absorbing. Impossible to
play for 2 minutes - it always (often inconveniently) turns into hour-long
sessions. BUY IT, FOOLS.

Halo: CE Anniversary (360)
Bought during the week, installed to HDD but not actually played yet.
Switching between original and updated graphics on the title screen made me
feel a little sad, and worried for the game itself. The Halo, as depicted on
that title screen, has gone from being a grey, imposing, monolithic
structure to a purple, neon, overly-intricate 'thing'. Do not like. If all
else fails, I will just switch permanently back to the original visuals and
play it in co-op with the boy (who I suspect will be wishing for the the
shiny version).

FIFA 12 (360)
League games planned for Sunday. Will endeavour to continue my season of
mid-table mediocrity/anonymity.

Modern Warfare 3 (360)
Online-multiplayer-a-go-go. Not played it for over a week, so am expecting
my meagre skills to be even less effective than usual.

Ticket to Ride (iOS)
If I'm not W.E.L.D.ing, I shall turn to this for those parts of the weekend
where the TV is occupied and I have nothing better to do.

Demos (PS3)
I stacked up a load of demo downloads on the PS3 last week, but haven't
really had a chance to look at any of them yet. Can't remember what exactly
I downloaded, but I think it includes at least one of the Uncharted games, a
Sonic game and, um, some other stuff.

Dexter (RL)
Another thing that I haven't got round to doing recently is regularly
watching the new season of Dexter. I've thus got half a dozen unwatched
episodes, so will be treating myself to an
all-night-serial-killer-extravaganza. From the couple of episodes I have
seen, Mos Def is utterly excellent in this (as he is in most things, but
especially so here).
