tegyrius posted, none of the games we actually signed up for went off. The Flames of War game we stumbled into wasn't done especially well - entirely too many units on the field. Really, there's no need to try and replicate the Battle of the Bulge on a table intended to teach new players. The amount of management required is overwhelming. I did see a lot of people having a good time, though, and I picked up a couple of books I'd been hungering for at 25% off.
Met up with Erin for lunch on Sunday. Football and pizza, followed by some DVD watching. Good times.
Picked up Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (PS2). Great fun so far, and it's even more of a sandbox than its predecessor. Thus far, I've only contacted the pirates; next up, I guess, will be the oil megacorporation.
Autumn's really settled in. Down into the 30s tonight.
Funeral for the great-aunt I mentioned a while back is tomorrow. I think I'm on pallbearer duty, but that's not certain yet.
The World Series starts tomorrow. Tampa Bay pulled out the ALCS win, and they're my team for the next 4-7 games.

Since we're not in the position to purchase it at this point, I went back to playing the first one, and I think it still holds up. They have different strengths to me. However, I played the hell out of the first one.
The biggest contrast to me is about access to resources. It seems a lot easier to get vehicles and air strikes in the first one, and money is hardly an issue at a certain point. (Seemingly once you get to the northern map.) The sequel's way of handling it seems to be a more realistic challenge, that is a cool mini-game.
