Title: Dear Friday, won't you come out to play?

Was just informed that Fallout is on Prime so I'll be watching that over the weekend.

As for gaming I'll be playing around with Star Wars: Rebellion [Supremacy] and Civ 3: Conquests.

Great cover, great band.  Fallout has been good so far (I'm only 1 episode in). 

I'm hooked on Infection Free Zone right now.  It's well worth the $22 so far.

I love Siouxsie and the Banshees too, great choice  :ThumbsUp:

Wrapping up some Assassin's Creed Valhalla and trying out some of the Siege of Paris DLC, with Diablo 4 waiting impatiently in the wings.
 
Will attempt to watch some Fallout as well. And perhaps buy the new System Shock as it is on sale on the Steam for 17.99 right now.

Probably no gaming for me.  Catching up with Honey Do's after my eclipse trip.   :sad:  :sad:

Great tune and band. Robert Smith played guitar for Siouxie in the early days.

There is a lot I want to play and try. I'll be lucky if I get to a small portion of it. Helldivers 2, Manor Lords, Headquarters WWII, Outpost Infinity Siege, DCS, MSFS 2020 and all the praise over Infection Free Zone has me interested in trying it out too.

Have a good weekend.

Distant Worlds 2 whilst awaiting the upcoming Gal Cov 4 dlc "Warlords".

Playing as human Republic. Two coups in the first 5 years toppled a couple of incompetent leaders but since then things so far are going more smoothly so far in my little corner of the galaxy. This will change :-)

I also will return to Galactic Civilizations IV when the new DLC is released.

Press code, dude.

I keep pressing code and nothing happens ;)
Seriously though. I mainly come straight to the forums, does the front page get a lot of views for the articles that grace it? If so I should pay more attention to the press side of grogs. I kinda missed the podcast bit as well, which was a shame.

No. Unfortunately, the front page doesn't get a lot of views. It never really did though. I'm thinking about creating more of a video presence on Youtube. It's just a matter of mastering the technology and finding the time.

Wife's folks are planning on pulling up stakes and moving closer to us, so my weekend(s) is going to be full for a bit, I fear (to be fair, they are in their 80s and gifting us with more than a few things so not complaining, mind you).

Gaming?  Eh, a round or two in WoT and maybe a session or two in Dirt 2.0 is all I've time for at best I think.

Take care, folks!

Testing for WDS and some PBEM's on the computer with Silent War 2.0 on the table top.

That would be pretty cool.

Re: the technology, you got to use one of them moving pictures contraptions with the crank on the side.

As a program manager for an engineering company, I feel like this is my typical level of technical value add.
