DCS, dicking around with the new Mirage, Arma 3 SOG Prairie Fire and maybe CMO or something else with strategery.
Everyone enjoy.
Downloaded Mechwarrior Online and will probably get back into it over the weekend after about a year off.
Great video choice. I find myself wanting to punch the Wally World drive through speaker at the gate entrance.
It's going to be a very hot weekend here so I probably won't be playing 'Mow the lawn 2: The weeds strike back'.
Instead I'm going to play Heroes & Generals and maybe some Mass Effect 2.
I just played Mow the Lawn 2 and got stung multiple times by hornets from a nest in the ground. >:( Going to the hardware store for spray and then I'll play "Kill them ALL!. :knuppel2:

Had a yellowjacket nest in the yard and much like you, I found it the hard way. After parking a running lawn mower over it for a few minutes, I took it away and filled the hole with some fuel, twisted some newspaper into a wick, lit it, and stuffed the burning wick into the hole.
Homeboy here just screwed up as I basically capped the now fuel and fuel vapor filled nest hole with something burning = blammo! Now, I've got angry, burning yellowjackets on me as well as a burning newspaper wad as the exploding vapor pushed everything out in a very excited fashion.
Lesson learned. Now, I just nuke holes with chemicals from a distance.
Ouch! Thanks for the warning.

Wish I could have seen the look on my face, to be honest. That was some movie-grade comedy there.

Yes. In other words, nuke from orbit! :)

Yep, the chemicals seem to work fine on bugs. Meanwhile, I'm off to the beach for a while. I might have to play some dungeons and dragons with the kids, but that's about it.
I've had a real rough summer with wasps too. They seem determined to build a nest somewhere around my pool area. Most times I wait until after dark and just knock down their nests but several times I've had to resort to Wasp Spray, the Final Solution. ^-^ It could get worse. A Wasp-nado would see me flee to the hills. War In The East 1 if it's quiet, maybe some Rome 2 if not. Have a great weekend Grogs.
Returning to No Man's Sky to see what all the free updates did.
Old world as an alternative.
Wanna see wild? Drunk Marine vs. large wasp nest where said Drunk Marine channels his inner Curtis LeMay and decides to burn the bugs out....while the bugs were still in their nest which was still attached to an occupied house at the time. Good times!
Anyhoo, game-wise, I'm on a World of ___ kick as of late so will be in my botes and tonks getting plastered as usual.
Stay safe, folks, and don't do what I do! (grabs shotgun to take care of fire ants near shed)
Doing the final round of getting my butt kicked in FoG and FoG Medieval. Playtesting a CM-Black Sea scenario for a friend. More BoC work. Trying to find authoritative sound level information on various Soviet/US subs to correct the CMO database. Maybe a CM-Fortress Italy game for fun.
Campaign Series Vietnam baby !! Awesome game and learning so much about the conflict. Old school graphics but if you can look beyond that it soo good ! Also developers are very responsive to any issues.
Hey Jason and Berto wheres my check ? ;D
Jesus people be careful out there. On the same note, do yourself a favor and do not burn poison ivy, oak or sumac.
I want to get back into playing some Assassin's Creed Odyssey but either the DRM or my graphics settings make my liquid cooled machine scream like a banshee...anyone have any experience with this issue?
As an alternate I may start a Pontus campaign in DEI for Rome 2 TW.
Important Safety Tip: If you're going to use Wasp Spray for ANY project, make sure it's pointed AWAY from you when you push the button. :buck2:
Getting back into Ageod's ACW2. The best strategic civil war game ever made. Before I purchase SCACW with my upcoming anniversary discount. Will see how it compares soon. Great to have three strategic ACW games out there now. Grand Tactician has a lot of great ideas but I much prefer turn based over real time.

I really wish I could get my head around the Ageod games. So many positive comments about them (especially Birth of America 2 and ACW2) but the forming of Corps/ Armies and getting Commanders sorted out for them always stumps me !

Yes a lot of people say that about ACW2. But there is none of that in BOA2. That's why everyone recommends BOA2 to Ageod game beginners.
It's easy to form armies and divisions in ACW2 by combining units and generals and pressing the buttons to do so but yes Corps are a little more complicated.
Shadow Empire with the new patch released yesterday. This game is so awesome.

Snicker...yeah! As I use a cane to hobble about I tend to go max nuclear on wasp nests with something I can spray from 15+ feet away. But, the ultimate option takes a bit of nerve and close combat tactics. An empty vegetable can filled with gasoline splashed on the nest from one to three feet away is the Bomb. Nothing like seeing an entire nest of 20 to 40 yellow jackets or wasps instantly drop straight down, dead. But if you are off just a little bit...

Sounds dangerous. I love it.
Lindsey is cool :notworthy:
Back from Italy. In mood for some various games. Civilization VI and trying to run Shogun 2 but so far ctd.
Enjoy your weekend
^Shogun 2 is worth the effort to get it running. Any idea what the issue is?

Had the same issue with Rome 2. Checking the files didn't help but making a full reinstall did...just annoying with such big games. Anyway...happily playing it now. :)
Nice!
Holiday Road. Wow, haven't heard that one since it came out, likely :bd:
Had to check, it really does plays for a hu-u-u-u-ge total of two minutes and twelve seconds. Say what you have to say, young man, and be done with it then :cowboy:

Good to hear. I found out they added a TON of DLC into my game because of the Deluxe edition. I have all the DLC including the battles from the Dragon War. (Boshin War)
^I still have yet to play that one.
