Played Last Night on Earth Thursday. That's the aforementioned zombie board game. 5 people played 1 person played the zombies and myself and 3 others played humans. The beauty of the game is that there's a number of scenarios with different objectives. This game we play a scenario where all the zombies enter the game from a central location and the heroes have to collect items to destroy the zombie spawn locations. Due to some rule over sights and a poorly described scenario outline the humans suffered defeat at the hands of the shambling horrors from beyond the grave. Boo.
Also played a little bit of Dead Space multiplayer and was rewarded with two more rank increases. Also played a bit of Eve online. I picked up a few items I wanted to outfit my ship with for a PVP practice session with my corporation on Saturday. Trained some skills too, as always.
UPDATE: After reviewing my post I realized I did not do Last Night on Earth justice in terms of explanation. So here it goes. The scenario we played lasted 17 rounds. If the humans do not achieve their goal within the 17 allotted turns the zombie(s) win by default. The humans are tasked to searching the buildings which are along the perimeter of the game board. Along with finding weapons, items, and special abilities, the humans need to recover a total of 4 gas cans and something to lite a fire with. They must then enter a mansion set in the center of the board where all the zombies are coming from and use the gasoline to destroy the zombie spawning pits. The snafu on the part of Flying Frog (the game publishers) is that there are only a total of 3 gas cans. This means the intent is that the humans will heroically dash into the mansion deal with one pit then try to find more gas by searching or using abilities to reclaim discarded cards. We attempted to collect all the gas at once. A task that was literally impossible to do. On a related note the friend who has LNoE also has a game called Invasion From Outer Space which has a very similar rule set, but instead of zombies, you fight Martians. I'm pretty excited to play that as well.
