Friday Gaming - the Guy Fawkes setting fire to **** + launching fireworks thread

[Arctic Blast]

I plan to squeeze more goodness from the Team Fortress 2 Halloween event while it continues to exist.

Probably continue with Torchlight II.

And...I dunno. I'll likely continue making my way through other installed games that I haven't gotten to trying yet. Must remove the chaff!

^I went from maybe 2 or 3 hours played since release, to 15 hours played in the last 2 days.  Its a great game now...105 turns into my current campaign, and I haven't even made first contact with a major alien empire, so no diplomacy as of yet.  But I love the research, survey, colonize, fleet and combat options so far.  its definitely got that "just one more turn" hook into me.

I just checked my Steam account and I have only had 7 minutes logged in it:)  I will certainly give it more of a try now...thanks again.

My pleasure...let me know if you have any questions or run into any problems.

Well, my experience has not been good so far....I can't even get into the game.  In the past, I could at least get in.  It just locks up on the loading screen and never lets me in.  I tried unintalling and reinstalling, plus verifiying the cache, no luck.

I will be attempting to get in and out of NYC to help a good friend who has last his house. If I suck at this game it is going to get ugly...for me.

I'm sorry I missed this yesterday Gus  :(. I hope you were able to get your friend into a better situation, even if temporary. I hope you are safe and back home when you read this.

^Wound up not going...not enough gas to get in and out safely.

That's 2/2 Geek!  I am your gaming muse! ;)

There's an expansion available too, but to be honest there's so much packed into the base game already that I never felt compelled to get it.  Glad you're enjoying.

lol, yeah

playing the campaign at the mo to get used to the interface and different buildings then cracking open the continuous play sand box job

[MengJiao]

Ill be:-

CMBN/FI PBEMing
CKII Parma AAR-ing for the front page
CKII Brandenburging

Sounds good.  I will be playing Crecy Men of Iron Style and probably CarrierCommand and maybe CKII and AJE.

But no!  I did play Crecy, but the big game of the weekend was Moscow '42.  First Shock Army punched through a gaggle of panzer divisions.  It's a frozen nightmare: 3000 dead elite panzer troops, 150 elite guns gone, dozens of panzers knocked out by a zoo of
Russian T-26s, BT-7s, KV-1s, light tanks, aerosleighs, T-34s (5 of them!).  At one point, 38 poorly-trained and ill-equiped Russian Sappers obliterated 5 88s in improved positions.  The endless horror of it all never ended.  In fact its still going on sort of or will be as soon as
I restart the game.
