Title: Uncertain FRIDAY!
Post by: Jarhead0331 on February 21, 2020, 06:11:06 AM


Definitely some DCS checking out the new KA-50 cockpit and practicing in my hornet in anticipation of the upcoming super carrier module. Some more corruption 2029 and perhaps something Battletech...just not sure where the weekend will take me gaming wise.

Everyone enjoy.

Continuing Jedi Fallen Order and I want to begin a Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2 campaign.

BTW I just read up on an upcoming WH40k flying game (not sim) called Dakka Squadron - on phone so can't link. Players take the role of an ork pilot and it looks pretty swell - out later this year.

I started up Skyrim again, looking to spend something time there.

Oxygen not Included is still high on my playlist

Hopefully some Witcher 3.

Beyond that just whatever time and fancy pushes me.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it looks like another garbage waste of the IP.



Who knew Orks flew Mig-15s?

I'm surprised GW hasn't sold out the movie rights to Uwe Boll to make some shit movie of the IP

The idea sounds potentially cool, but..... yeah, I have to agree.   :(  It looks like a fairly generic arcade flight game with the 40K theme slapped on.

This weekend I'm going to stare forlornly at Panzer Corps 2 installed on my computer while I wait for March 19th.   :dreamer:  Maybe I'll fire up some Warhammer 40K: Armageddon to stave off the cravings for now.

WarPlan has been calling my name again, lately...

Hey I'm just the messenger about Dakka Dakka. I thought it looked ok enough, especially considering the alternative WH40k flight games!

Don't worry, we're not shooting the messenger.  We're just shooting the envelope out of your hands and giving you a mean look that suggests not to come around here with another piece of news about a game that it turns out we're not interested in.   >:(

Well, tonight I shall at first be playing Going to the Pub, a slightly ageing, yet still fun MP game.  Though the base game is free, it's when you start buying the DLC that the real action starts.  However, if I get too much DLC from GttP, I may have to forego my subsequent Friday Flying Circus fun and stick to maybe some Hell Let Loose

   Yep...for me, HLL and World of Warships and DCS world.

I might have to drive down to NYC to look at Fordham University with W8taminette ver. 1.0 this weekend.  If there is any time left I'll probably continue my roaring rampage as Russia in Empire: Total War.

Played IWD1 a long time ago and actually finished it.  IWD2, as good as it was, I never played to the end.  Not sure why.

Haha!  I can almost hear the accent in my head.  I might just do that if there is time.  Any good places to take my wife and kids to eat there that you can recommend?

Thanks Gus that's good to hear.  I'm a bit nervous to be honest with her going to a school right in the middle of down town Manhattan but I've been hearing a lot of good things about the school.

FOG2 and BA pbem turns, then will probably continue with Skyrim, I'm getting pretty badass with a bow. I took a detour to Morrowind for some black book crap, not feeling it, going back to the main quest line. I managed to get the turn into a Dragon power, now i'm out of there, not sure i'm a high enough level, some of those enemies were tough, ran out of arrows.

Still have three mp Field of Glory:Empires running.  Any one of them can still go up/down.  I am sure to get some Civ IV mp in, too.  I made Ragnar my vassal to stop our war.  It looked like Zara Yaqob was going to bring the pain on the opposite side of my empire and I needed to get troops there ASAP.  Now that I have enough defense, I am going to cut Ragnar loose and take his only city.  Then, maybe, some peace.  I need to bring my War Weariness down and build the next round of buildings and infrastructure to handle my growing cities.  Side note, just to illustrate how much of a dick the computer is, one of my recently conquered cities revolted for Ragnar.  That reduced my zone of control.  Ragnar sent two Workers in, while it was under his ZOC and had them take a Village (33 Turns to Town) and made a farm out of it.  Basturd.

This weekend, some more game time with The Division 2. I just received my order of the hefty new C3i magazine in the mail. 

The included game, Mark Herman's Waterloo Campaign 1815, I'd like to get on the table for some solo action.

I have started and stopped IWD1 a few times and vow to finish it to the end as I have IWD2 and definitely want to give it a go.

I loved the Icewind Dales because I could recreate my entire party from the Gold Box series for the game.  :bd:

Feel like I'm sliding into gaming ennui, so going to change things up.  Just don't know in what way yet.

Right...I forgot to mention she's going for the Manhattan campus.  Well it turns out due to my misunderstanding we are not going this weekend but we will be in April.  How I got the message mixed up is beyond me but there you have it.  So maybe I'll see you New Yorkers in the spring.   :)

Whatever campus, Fordham is a solid school choice.

After being near the top of my wishlist for some time, I finally picked up Age of Wonders: Planetfall in the current flash sale.  Between the price and the new big patch (the "Tyranasaurus" update), it felt like it might the right time to get into this one. 

Am still on a Total War kick, but am currently feeling Rome II calling to me.  I think I'll either start a new game in the Grand Campaign with my old favorite, Pontus, or renew my Syracuse campaign in Rise of the Republic

I'm also playing a bit of the Dominus Galaxia beta.  It needs fleshing out (and of course there are various bugs still to squash), but I'm enjoying it so far.

This is currently on sale for $20 bucks at the PS4 store. I've been thinking about picking it up. I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.
