It being a Friday the 13th, and the passing of Jeff Beck this week at 78 (one of my favorite guitarists) and this being probably the first time I've posted the Friday thread, I thought I'd post two songs by Jeff Beck - One fitting the occasion, and the other well, you know... :sad:
So gaming? I am going to grab Dwarf Fortress and soundtrack, maybe get back in Fallout 3.
Off today - working Saturday afternoon, and then Sunday morning.
You Grogs have a good one.
Man what a crazy week. Lisa Marie Presley, Jeff Beck, Robbie Bachman, and Tatjana Patitz...gone. Life is fragile folks.
I'll be diving back into Escape from Tarkov and some Vampire Survivors. Maybe World of Warships for good measure.
Be safe and take it easy grogs!
I'll continue my journey into Stalker GAMMA. Its really brutal and really frustrating. I did find a Fallout 4 mod pack that replicates stalker type play so I will see how that goes.
I reloaded Distant Worlds 2 so I'll give some love to that game as well.
Enjoy your Weekend!!!
RIP to Beck, I did not realize he was 78.
Totally switching gears, pun intended, from medieval strategy to sci-fi as I needed a serious break.
So I am finally firing up Gears 5, Gears: Tactics, Nebulous Fleet Command, Terminator: Resistance, MechWarrior 5 and perhaps even some Emperor of the Fading Suns.
If any of you fine grogs have a newer, go-to, space-faring 4x game besides Stellaris, I would like to hear about it.
Friday the 13th and I got called for Jury Duty. :doh: Luckily for me, they took one look at me and sent me back home. I wonder if the Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry T-shirt I was wearing had anything to do with it? Solasta and football for me. Have a great weekend Grogs.
Looks like we got a new forum setup. I like what I see so far so I will be playing around with Grogheads Forum this weekend for sure.
As for gaming:
Diofield Chronicles
American Truck Simulator
Heroes & Generals
and maybe some UFO 2: Extraterrestrials
Getting my butt kicked in Combat Mission: Cold War tournament. Working on BoC. Finishing up some description files for CMO to be released in the next update. Maybe, just maybe, some FoG Empires for fun.
Danged if I know what I'm going to monkey with. Recent TTRPG kerfluffle has me wanting to nerd out and read books this weekend, to be honest.
- Company of Heroes Multiplayer Tech Demo (this can be played vs the AI as well via custom game)
- DCS possibly
- War of Rights maybe.
Panzer Campaigns Scheldt '44 and/or Shadow Empire.
Have a nice weekend.
Will be playing 'freezing my ass off' at the Jags playoff game tonight.
GO JAGS!!! :twirl:
^I read it's going to be in the 30s at that game. Welcome! :coffee:
What's it gonna be for the Buffalo game tomorrow? :HideEyes:

:screams from a mountaintop:
Sins of a Solar Empire! You must all hear the good news of Sins of a Solar Empire!
(Sins 1 if you haven't played it, Sins 2 if you're a Sins 1 veteran)
^I have Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion in my library. On previous gaming machines I was not able to run it, I never figured out why. I'm installing it now on my current machine. Fingers crossed :stormtrooper2:
So I installed and loaded it up and after one initial crash after adjusting the graphics settings, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion appears to be working :Dreamer:
Back playing Final Fantasy XIV.
Took me two months to finally get to it because of illness, but I set up my vr (HP Reverb) today. Just the tech demo made my head explode! This is gonna be nuts :ninjameditate:
Excellent Jeff Beck pieces to launch this thread. The man was an innovator and a special talent for sure!
For me, it's been Distant Worlds 2 when I got to play, and a little bit of Monster Train that sucked me into playing way too night last night! That latter title is absolutely addictive, if light-hearted. It's a bit like if Darkest Dungeon had a love child with a classic Tower Defense game.
