DCS, Cyberpunk 2077, Aurora C#...mostly.
Enjoy!
Love me some Front 242! Actually got a burr in my arse to listen to some Funker Vogt the other day.
Witcher 3, Oxygen not Included and Shadow Empires are on the docket for my long weekend. Probably some Star Wars Squadrons too depending on if friends are around, but I'm eagerly awaiting my stick and pedals to truly enjoy that and also start dipping a toe in the water with Elite Dangerous and maybe some Star Citizen and DCS.
Have a great weekend all!!!
Still grindin' on muh missions in World of Tanks sos I can install Chuck Norris in one of 'em (probably a Patton or Pershing, of course).
Roll out!
I'm finishing up a Conquest of Elysium 3 game.
JH you really hit the nail on the head - I love that track so very, very much. Anton Corbijn was the director (famous rock band photographer - awesome work with U2) who put the video together and ALLEGEDLY he thought the title of the track was 'Egghunter.' Thus the egg theme throughout. Not sure if that is true but I like to think it is :)
Iron Harvest every chance I get. I am beginning to think this is the game I have been waiting for my entire gaming life. The world of 1920+ just scratches so many itches - mechs, dieselpunk, a slightly different version of the Eastern Front and the First World War, and a new mini-DLC Russian Revolution campaign that just dropped yesterday.
Despite getting my ass kicked repeatedly on the 4th mission of the Polish campaign this week, I finally broke through it last night and am having a total blast. Highly recommended but be warned it is an RTS and I know that's not a cup o'tea for some of you.
Other than that, Rise of Flight, still trying to learn and enjoy without dying, including the Ilya Muromets campaign, and IL2 Flying Circus.
Also this week I discovered I had a backlog of Matrix coupons that I forgot about so I picked up the Eastern Front campaigns for Order of Battle, the base game of Panzer Corps 2, and ICBM.
Looks like it will be all Russian and Soviet history for me this winter :)

In a similar vein, drop the dimes for Dan Carlin's "Ghosts of the Ostfront," series for several hours worth of East Front podcast centric goodness.
And thanks for the reminder that my Matrix coupon is sitting in my inbox!
I've always been a bigger fan of The Neon Judgement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Neon_Judgement). But live both aren't that good.
The Neon Judgement is a Belgian new wave band, formed in Leuven in 1981 by Dirk Da Davo (born Dirk Timmermans, keyboards/vocalist) and TB Frank (born Frank Vloeberghs, guitarist/vocalist). They have often been cited, alongside fellow Belgian band Front 242, as the pioneers of electronic body music (EBM), an electronic dance genre from the early 1980s combining industrial and electro music.
So if you like Front 242 maybe you might like these too :

For gaming : more Cyberpunk 2077.

And if you haven't yet, run - don't walk - to his site to get his current series on Japan in and before WW2 which is is up to 5 episodes that clock in around 2ish hours per and is free to listen to. Neighbors think I'm weird as I listen to his stuff out loud whilst doing odd bits outside, but screw 'em if they don't like deep-dive history podcasts.
PREACH IT BROTHER.
Thank you!
OMG this thing is a history lovers rabbit hole in the best way :notworthy:

Just curious as to whether you see much difference between the two - I haven't been back to RoF since FC came out.
To be clear I am quite the newb at both, but initially the graphical improvements are amazing and Flying Circus is much more evolved, to put it minimally.
Dominions MP for me, along with my new Outpost in Dwarf Fortress. Instead of the production of metal artifacts, weapons and armor, I'm going to be trying to focus on being a major Brewery, with a top notch Inn.
The Expanse season 5 is out, so gotta come up with some time to start watching that.
AGEOD's American Civil War 2 to put me in the mood for Christmas shopping. :knuppel2:
For me it is of course Shadow Empire, but I also started a campaign of Shadowrun Hong Kong last night.

Dan Carlin is legendary. Blueprint to Armageddon (covers WWI) might be the best podcast ever. Please give that a listen to as well. You won't regret the 24 hours you'll invest.
Test driving a bunch of recent random purchases. Epic Tavern, Rising Star 2, FM21, Strategic Command Classic Global and Close Combat: The Longest Day.
^Thanks man!
For "HeadFRIDAY", I am "heading" over to Spectrum after 15+ years of having Frontier (formerly Verizon) FIOS. I'm switching for one main reason - Frontier dropped Fox Sports West and as diehard Angels fans, that is a non-negotiable for me and my wife. I've been pleasantly surprised at Spectrum once I got into research mode about having Spectrum:
- Frontier had me at 50/50 mbps. Spectrum is giving me a free upgrade from their baseline 200/20 to 400/20 (Spectrum has fiberoptic to the curb in our neighborhood! \m/ ). I don't upload a lot of content, but the download speeds at 8x is nice and leads into the next bullet.
- I don't want to rent cable boxes any more and CableCard never really took off. But I discovered that Spectrum TV can be accessed via a Spectrum TV App on Smart TV's, eliminating the need for a cable box. The only downside is it triggered me to go buy 2 new Samsung 4K UHD Smart TV's, and I'm actually very happy with them! My previous TV's were a decade old and oh how technology has progressed!
- The new Smart TV's will get their signal completely over WiFi. So I also got a new WiFi 6 router to carry the 400 mbps signal. It's just my wife and i at home so we'll have more than enough bandwidth.
- Because the TV's get everything via WiFi (we don't use DVD's anymore), I will be able to reach the nirvana of having a TV on the wall with nothing but a power cord connection. This is something I've wanted for a while!
While I wait for all the goodies to be installed and configured, I'll keep moving forward in the SGS - Afrika Korp tournament. We're on turn 6 of scenario 1 and my Allied force is pressing forward westward after having captured Tobruk and Bardia. Capture of one more objective space will make it a real challenge for the Italians to pull out a win by game end after turn 8....

I just played my first game of Dominions with some friends on Thursday using Tabletop Simulator. It is a fun, easy lift card game.

Some day FC will have some of the less iconic planes. Meanwhile...I'm going to an island for a bit...back in a few weeks.
Rikers?
Fantasy? ;D
Moreau's?
After winning 2 games of Conquest of Elysium - I've moved to Spiderweb Software's "Queens Wish: The Conquest." I like this world and concept better than any of the other Spiderweb games I've played.
Still, the primitive nature of the game (graphics, game play) will probably cause it to be shunned by many. Great, low requirement game to take on a long flight - assuming we get to actually travel in 2021.
