Blood Bowl : Chaos Edition , followed that from the start ..so BB,BB:DE,BB:LE , play in the Orca Cola Championship once a week and at the moment season 16 starting and I have a new team 'Scales of the Injusticed' a Lizard Man team
Did a playthrough of chrono trigger not to long ago Thinking of a Zelda: lttp, Mass Effect 1 or fire up DosBox and play one of the Commander Keen games or maybe Duke Nukem 1,2 and 3 :-)
Just started with IWD, though I found the process of rolling for all 6 characters a little overwhelming, and the interface isn't as nice as BG2 or even BG1
Been busy with Icewind Dale, doing the Heart of Winter part right now. Also did continue my first DragonAge campaign started last year for some hours, but 3D games easily tire me. I played some Fallout3 likewise. But I can't play them evening after evening like BG. Too many visual stimuli for my not very steady head.
Oh boy, what am I NOT playing right now. I have a tendency to start some game enthusiastically and then get bored, and stop. Few months later - why haven't I played this awesome game through yet? And repeat. Diablo III is the only game that I've managed play for more than couple of weeks at a time recently. Skyrim also seems to making a return, gotta build those houses and decorate yisss! In Minecraft I have large ideas and very little know-how, building skyscrapers gets very tedious. Tried to start IWD II but got bored surprisingly. IWD II is probably the most abandoned game that I have. Other games that are waiting for me in the cold, dark loneliness: X-Com Enemy Unkown, Amnesia, Arcanum, Fallout, Witcher, Resident Evil 4, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, Far Cry 2, Dawn of War: Winter Assault, Spec Ops: The Line. Not counted are games which I've already played through and am currently re-playing.
I got into X3 : Terran Conflict a few days ago. Wow, that can be very addicting once you get into it. Takes awhile though since the learning curve is steep.
While waiting for BGEE I started, and finished a playthrough of Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. It was pretty decent. A little glitchy at times, and I didn't particularly like how it ended, but it kept my attention and I actually finished it which really says something for the game because I'm bad for starting and not finishing games... I actually plan to do an evil playthrough someday.
@Earthling I've killed many a day with Civilization IV+expansions! Awesome game! Civilization V won't run on my elderly computer though...That makes me sad...
Played a lot of online Heroes III (TBS game) in a league called WCL. But once i got into top 15 world ranks, the best players there are just so meticulous about every move, games would last up to 8 hours. So i said fuck it, can't afford to spend so much time on that shit, gonna wait for my favourite game of all time to arrive in 4 days
I used to play a lot of Dota 2 and Starcraft 2 as well, but not so much anymore.
@Kristie83 The list of changes is quite extensive. Lots and lots of small, minor changes that add up to a different experience playing the game. Things like global happiness instead of city happiness, bonuses from building wonders are minimized, no rushing production, only one unit per tile instead of stacking, great people aren't very useful... I could go on for pages.
What it comes down to is that it became a different game to me. Most of the things I enjoyed in Civ IV were either removed or changed too much. Originally religion and espionage were removed but they were included in an expansion. There are plenty of changes that were for the better, but I didn't get the same satisfaction from playing it as I did IV.

@Earthling Wow, that's too bad. Big changes in a previously successful, (almost perfect in fact,) game do not always bode well. Global happiness sounds particularly stupid in my opinion, and whats the point of building wonders if you don't get much out of it? Well, now I'm not sad about not being able to run it...Thanks.
Playing a lot of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, and occasionally logging some time playing Civilization IV or Dragon Age: Origins when the former gets boring (or random noobs end up annoying me too much...you're a vanguard, why are you using the Widow and the Typhoon?).
I'm playing Batman: Arkham Asylum for the first time (yeah I'm way behind), and after I'm going to play the second one in the series, Batman: Arkham City.
Although, the BG craze is starting to get to me, and I've been eyeing the BG2 game that I left a year ago at Spellhold... I *neeeeed* BG
I'll get BG on iPad though, and mostly play when I'm travelling by train (got a lot of that with my work), then play other games that are better suited for a big screen in the evenings.
Star Wars: The Old Republic, Lord of the Rings Online and of course, NWN1/NWN2. Will have to seriously re-consider my online subs if this game proves to be as addictive as many people make out . Having said that, I do like playing online for its social aspect.
League of Legends with my friends, BG2, re running KotOR, some Heroes of Might and Magic III and V, never liked IV, Medieval Total War II sometimes, Final Fantasy X & IX on PS and finally Warcraft III with my friends

It is damn hard...
Currently I have no armour and a lousy cheese knife.
The real bugger is if you kill anyone, you don't get xp... They send you to jail !
On the plus side, every time you sleep you are more or less guaranteed to have a cool dream sequence...
Especially if you use your cheese knife...
