I must be great a predicating the future and situations like this.....

Probably for the past 10 years I have bought a ton of games, hoarded them, barely and if ever played them, just for moments like this where I need to bunker down:)  With the amount on the backlog, pretty sure I am good for the next 100 years....

There are no games/DLC on the immediate horizon for me, aside from something on one of my wishlists going on sale.  I believe the soonest-to-be-released title I'm looking forward to getting (with an actual announced release date) is the remastered Command & Conquer, and that's not until June. 

In the meantime, it's not as if I don't have a ridiculous backlog of games to keep me busy.  O:-)

I bought a vintage Citizen Aqualand dive watch from ebay.  I'm pretty stoked; I've been looking for this version at the right price for a while now.
I feel like there just aren't enough dials crammed into it.  It's like they're not even trying.  :D

Chernobyl was really good, I highly recommend it.

Speaking of Chernobyl, I still have all of Stalker and Metro 2033 to get through...

And...I did indeed start reading The Stand again last night.  Like putting on a well-worn pair of jeans and Uggs.

Thanks, Airboy.

JH, did your dad leave you the watch after he passed?

I picked up all of my dad's watches enroute to San Diego from my mom's house in NJ.  I actually don't remember my dad ever wearing a watch, so none of them have any real significance, other than the fact that they were his.  And, they're all Timex's.  So very much like him LOL.

I've been thinking that as a retirement gift to myself, I'm going to pick up a really nice watch.  Probably not a Rolex, but maybe a Tudor (a Pelagos or Black Bay for any watch nerds out there), or a Doxa.  It would be the one watch to rule them all, and at some point be passed down to one of my children when I'm gone. 

Anyway, back to your scheduled Coronavirus gaming discussion.

In the US that used to be called the Sears Roebuck catalog.

I don't know what kind of tp you freaks use but the above looks like a really BAD tp sim.

My mom still has it. She will give it to me if I want it, but I won't wear it. I will take it eventually.

I suppose that's just one of those things the virtual world can't replicate

Sir Slash

There should be some way to combine the really good TP sim with one of Toonces fancy watches. In a hygene-appropriate manner of course.  :-"

Hm, seen a few games that involve that though.

Picked up Civilization 4 complete edition for 7.50 on Steam and may get Aggressors Ancient Rome on Slitherine for 9 bucks, other than that possibly Panzer Corps 2 and Bannerlord towards the end of the month.
