There will be Elite before the part wipe/full wipe of BETA 2
There will be Rome II as the mighty Spartans and then a new Armenia campaign
It seems these 2 are fulfilling all my gaming needs and that makes me happy
and ill be fending off Tuna and SDR in the great ProN PBEM
have a good weekend all
I might try and get back to Steel Beasts - I've been neglecting my duties. Partly to do with missing the first training session (then the second) and partly because of rl.
Also some Wasteland 2 now I've restarted and took some care giving my squad some skillz.
F1 2013 - kick start my career from where I left off! F1 2014 is round the corner...I would say "I don't think I'll buy it", but who am I kidding (though I don't like the look of the cars now...they look like they've got dildo's hanging from the front!)
Elite:Dangerous - I was going to say X3-Rebirth - but that aint really gonna happen...not whilst Elite is on my desktop.
Good god - almost forgot - DCS World and Mig21bis - get startup nailed
And may your weekend be bright and busy (in gaming) also :smitten:
*edit*
oops - thanks ucg
Endless Legend, AoW3:Golden Showers, and Starpoint Gemini 2 if it comes out of early access today, like it's supposed to.
Looks like there may be Warlock in my weekend future. If not, I've got ongoing campaigns in To End All Wars and Civ IV BtS to attend to.
Definitely some Warlock in my weekend...not sure if MP or allll byyyy myyyy-se-eh-eh-ellllllf...we shall see.
Hoping to do some Fire in the Lake tomorrow. And if FC: Rommel and Phantom Leader arrive today as I'm hoping, there will be some unboxin' goin' on.

Some Heroes of Stalingrad MP tomorrow early.
Maybe some sweet revenge on MD in Warlock if we get a game going. :knuppel2:
Still trying to figure out Russian Front combat results. The game is light enough but so far I have not been able to win as the Germans even on easy.... ???
It's gonna be nice here this weekend so my wife already has a large yard work list fer me.... :knuppel2:

you realize there's like 3 guys on this side of the Atlantic that know who the Stone Roses are, right?
(Of course, Star and I are 2 of them...)
And there's such better options from them, too! Pretty much all of side 2 of Second Coming is better than Fool's Gold (but we'll pretend Ten Story Love Song doesn't exist for now...)
I plan to load up Warlock so that once I get the hand of it I can join in the multiplayer games that MD and Barthheart are doing.

I lovex the Stone Roses back in high school...does that make me the third 'Murican fan?
This weekend will feature some Thief, some Endless Legend, some Medieval 2 TW: Teutonic campaign and maybe..maybe some Rome 2 as Armenia.
Im going to have that song stuck in my head all day now.

It will be a careful balancing act with 'To End All Wars', 'Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe', and 'Destiny'. All this talk though about Rome 2 Armenia has got me thinking I need to try them out. I speak the language after all. O0

Looks like I'm waiting for Attilla. Plus I dumped CLOD. So this week-end (as wife number 3 heads for Italy with number one son)
I'll have lots of time to play WitpAE PBEM, DCS world and Some experimental board games.
Here is one of the 3 Kings with his awesome Going Down

W8 how do you write Armenian cataphracts in Armenian?
My Saturday nights have been consumed with airsoft. Its my new obsession that takes away a full night of electronic gaming.
If I get time otherwise, mostly Destiny I would imagine.
Rome 2 because I can never get enough of, "Be like a spear! Make a point. HA HA".

Nothing to fend off. I can't even get an army down to Khiva without half of them dying from dysentery and poor supply. Stone Roses have a song like that, don't they? Love Spreads (like dysentery) or something?
I have, after a few acrobatics, upgraded my SBProPE so's I can join the treadheads...actually looking forward to it.
CM:RT with Judge...there are a disturbingly large number of Germans available to him this late in the war...
And, having come to a bloody draw on the eastern front with Doug -- we killed 30,000 men betwixt us and did so with real elan -- shall commence a new sooper secret project game with him...
Oh, and boardgame night (probably Memoir '44 Overlord) on Saturday for my birthday. I'll probably try to trick them into a bit of World of Tanks: Rush too...
Best,
Jim

Wastelands 2 - restarted with a new party and NPC strategy.
Did the radio signal. Bought a rad suit. Then went to pick up Scotchmo and Ralphy at the Rail Gangs. So now I have a luck 8 character opening boxes and digging for treasures! Satchmo is level 6 in shotgun and can open locks and safes.
Happy Birthday Cyrano.
Looks like a little Diablo 3 and maybe something that involves strategy if I can muster the energy. Otherwise I'm on the hook for a visit to a pumpkin patch and corn maze, and a box of popcorn and Boxtrolls at the theater.
Just hanging around....SB PRO with the DOW :knuppel2:

Happy Birthday Cyrano!
I still need to get setup with Normandy so we can play a game.... I'll try to get up and running this weekend.
Happy Bday Cyrano!
Stone Roses. Who knew? Actually sounds pretty good. Not the first thing I'd reach for, but I'm thinking this could be decent workout music.
What am I doing this weekend?
PC wise probably some Rome II.
I also need to work on assembling some minis.
Happy birthday Cyrano
I've got a fairly busy weekend planned with an airshow and the Blue Angels on tap Sunday. In the meantime, I do hope to spend some time with Elite: Dangerous.
I'm also still on my Civil War kick, and I might visit Scourge of War or HPS Gettysburg.

Looks exactly like my situation.
Dunno if I'm gonna get any long uninterrupted stretches of game time to devote for
Steel Beasts this weekend. Would be ideal but may have to wait a bit longer.
Wasteland 2 is my single-player game for shorter stretches right now.
I've also been painting game minis again, so the spicing of the hordes continues.

Toonces. If you feel like doing some SOW co-op multiplayer, check in with these guys.
http://www.maddogdrivethru.net/viewforum.php?f=13
They regularly do some fun but low-pressure co-op games, using the courier system to send messages to each other (but not necessarily for the subordinate orders system). It's pretty relaxed stuff.
Happy birthday Cyrano!
As it's finally been released on Linux, this weekend I shall be dying repeatedly and quickly ragequitting Counterstrike: Global Offensive. I will probably play some Strife and Prison Architect. There may even be a bit of Steamworld Dig which I got in a recent Humble bundle and was surprisingly good.
Oh, and possibly a bit of Hexcells,
I'll be finishing up my first Command scenario tonight. Rest of the weekend will be split between Command and Wasteland 2.
I'm going to play Diablo 3 now and get me some phat lootz!

This weekend, I have CMRT to play with, thanks to the generosity of a friend. Also playing 'No Retreat - North Africa' which is pretty damn good O0
Desperately fending off the urge to buy Elite Dangerous - I know I'll get it eventually.

Actually, the fourth 'Murican fan. ;)
^I knew there were others!
Happy birthday, Cyrano!
Oh, and the only Stone Roses song I know is Love Spreads. Because it is on one of the Guitar Hero games. Cool tune though.
Attempted to play Rome II co-op without success as we kept getting an error that we were not playing the same version of the game. Lame. Instead we played some Borderlands 2 co-op for a couple of hours of shooting up mutant thingys.
Happy Bday Cyrano!

W8 how do you write Armenian cataphracts in Armenian?
We call the Armenian cataphracts 'heavy cavalry' in Armenian. It's written like this: Այրուձի (ayrudzi) :)
^Cool. Is that cyrillic?
Long weekend for me. got Monday off.. hope to get some gaming on..
Friday.. yakking with SDR and MD on Steam.. almost as fun as gaming..
Will continue PON game IF UCG EVER DOES A TURN!!! :knuppel2: ;)
Probably some FSX.. Rome II (when my son's not using his account)...
And now MD's End all Wars thread makes me want to give that a whirl too!
Glad I could help :) Although, I think I'll be done with WWI before you guys ever make it to the end of PON. I hear tell that someone is horrendous at posting turns to the other players. ;)
Quote from: Gusington on September 26, 2014, 09:11:47 PM

Not Cyrillic.
Most likely I will spend time with Diablo 3 and AoW3. Maybe some Wasteland 2 and Planetary Annihilation.
it could be calculus.
I've been completely hooked on Battle Academy 2 and it's cooperative skirmish mode. At one point I had 10 PBEM games going; it just wasn't enough. I need someone that can play their turns quicker!
I'll also be playing some Steel Beasts with the Dogs, and possible some Insurgency, although whenever I log into a cooperative server it seems to be stuck on the same map; one that I don't particularly enjoy.

No it's an entirely unique alphabet. Before we invented our own alphabet we relied heavily upon outside systems like ancient greek letters and even cuneiform. Our alphabet wasn't even invented until about early 300 AD. :)
Very interesting. Are you fluent in Armenian?

Thanks Gus. I'm knowledgable enough to hold a conversation but I must admit I understand better than I can communicate. My problem is with grammar not so much with vocabulary.
There's not much published in English on Armenian history or culture which is a shame, it is very interesting. There aren't that many world cultures as ancient and still in existence.
^This is true. What few books in English there are focus mostly on the genocide but there is a few titles you can find on Amazon that talk about the ancient days too.
The best I found is by an author named Cam Rea on the wars between Rome and Parthia...Armenia gets a whole section.
Decided to fire up Rome 2 this weekend. Saw that the DLC was on sale, and with the release of the Emperors Edition, thought I'd give it another try. Didn't click with me when I first time I tried it. This time I'm finding that as long as I don't focus too much on the scale or the complete lack of any historical accuracy its not that bad.
Awww...you fellahs is nice...thanks for the birthday greetings. Tomorrow's the day itself, but Saturday was particularly enjoyable.
Started the day setting up Steel Beasts with Asid. More games could use people like him as promoters.
Finally got in a game of Napoleon (4th ed.) and pounded the Allies at Charleroi.
That, and a bottle of Knob Creek select with friends made for a fine evening all together!
Best,
