This isn't to infuriate Metal Dog - it's in response to all the hate around one of the best bands on the planet....the rage he will feel though is a perk :))
ok -
best bands in the world is too far - but the hate has to be nipped in the bud. I'm coming out as a fan of
some BJ (let the jokes begin - again!)
Not a lot of gaming this weekend because there's a packed rugby agenda but if I do game, it'll be
The Division,
Project Cars and I'd like to revisit my Red Flag campaign in
DCS
Never a big BJ guy myself and my wife finds them less than pleasant. Just like anything else, I suppose they are an acquired taste...
Going to be playing more of the 7 Years War this weekend and hopefully putting some words down for a review.
Nothing wrong with some BJ every now and then.
I'm working and attending a wedding this weekend so gaming will be limited. I've got an ongoing pbem of Danube'85 with Doug and I'll try and get some Heroes of the Nam to the table..
It shall be a weekend of The Division, D&D and perhaps getting Food Chain Magnate and/or Spheres of Influence to the table.
EDIT: Post deleted. It was crass and vulgar.
^ that is hugely disturbing :-X
Oh boy...i feel sick now :buck2:
Lmao, i can hear MD vibrating from here
I shall be playing WFKT in the Pacific - thats Waiting For KyzBPs Turn, im hoping my advance has crushed his fervour to play any further :P
There will be some XCOM2 - its been a hard pull not to go back and replay the mission were we lost Huw but i fixed it by deleting the save, he is gone, i have mourned - its time to kick ass
I will also be playing Templar Battleforce, a cool top down TBS tactics game, Bob pestered me and pestered me and for a fiver you cant go wrong - the final purchase decision was itll run on my laptop and KyzBP is busy so itll fill in the gaming gap nicely - played an hour yesterday and liked it very much - if i can rename the templars itll be awesome
Finally im wrestling with the decision to buy Mius, ive just purged my steam library and HDD to 16 games and most of those are surplus to requirements - it looks great, but will it get played, it looks like it needs some love and attention and i cant deliver that just now
have a great weekend everyone

Its NOT me.
I plan to play the following games:
Grand Ages: Rome. I've been neglecting my campaign since the release of MOO and Sector Zero but really want to get back to it....at least 2-3 maps for this weekend.
Stardrive 2. The game has now my full interest with the sectors and most of all the new victory conditions. I am not a warmonger even if i like to have good battles and fights but i never liked the eXtermination part in 4x games (that's why i always go for Diplomatic victory in the orginal MOO). It looks like i won't be able to win this first campaign but it's fun.
If there's time, i may continue my current (and long) campaign in Horizon (aiming again for a diplomatic victory), start a new game of Endless Space (probably on very easy just to have fun and no headaches) and finish the tutorial of Endless Legends (and maybe start a full campaign....
There is so much I have on plate right now, it's crazy. The Division, Xcom 2, star drive 2, minus front, far cry primal, new builds of star citizen and rogue system, the new Hitman goes live today, and if the developer would actually respond to my emails, I'd like to try out some pocket space empires.
Woaw....that's a big signature! :D
Thanks to global warming, this warm weather is making yard work a horrifying reality for me this weekend. Gaming-wise, I got no clue - slap a FPS in front of me, and I'll be set, I reckon.
Kid number four (we'll call him the junior rifleman in the fire team ;)) was born on Monday. I'd like to brag on the wife a minute and reveal that she has delivered all four kids without the aid of any sort of drugs/anesthetics. Having been present for each event, all I can say is that I'm amazed, especially since this guy was over nine pounds!
That being said, as per usual it will be CMANO for me when all I can spare a few minutes/everyone else in the house is sleeping. Maybe we'll see how well I can play with a newborn in one arm :).
^ That's a spicy meatball! Congrats!
And well done JD.
I have no idea what I'll be playing tonight. Scourge of War: Gettysburg and maybe a Total War title.

A lot of brunches and stuff this weekend with wife and family, anyhow got some times to play something simple and quick like door kickers. Will plan to play some more Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front.

Interested in how diplomacy is. I had heard that the AIs in Stardrive 2 were all warmongers.
As for gaming this weekend I might give
Stardrive 2 a go as well. Maybe
MOO. And more work on my
Horizon Star Trek mod.
Congrats AR and Mrs. AR!
This weekend will be:
Continuing PBEM with Jason in DC3... I fear that bad weather is looming on the Russian front....
Learning Plan Orange so that SDR and I can start a PBEM game of that.
I have a FtF game of Heroes of the Falklands setup for tomorrow afternoon... I'll try to remember to take some pics.
More VASSAL work... as Pinetree gently pointed out Heroes of the Nam module has not been released yet....
More work on the car as it will be warm here this weekend which should allow me to work with the garage door open and not lose any fingers.
More Atlantic Fleet if I have time.
More Civ IV MP if I can catch MD and Tuna on at the same time.

So far i've had better deals in Stardrive 2 than in the new MOO. Could have more options but it's been ok so far.

Still knee-deep in WitP:AE....made it to Dec 22nd, 1941....Hong Kong, Rabaul and parts of the Philippines have fallen to the Japanese onslaught, but Wake is still mine.

Wow! Kids! Congrats! CMANO for me too! And some Atlantic Fleet and some ARMAIII.
Congratulations AR! And congrats to Toonces for using the 'spicy meatball' line. And congrats to me for finally getting time to start a new Attila TW campaign this weekend. Just have to choose between the Lakhmids in the Grand Campaign or the Emirate of Cordoba in the Charlemagne campaign.
Congrats to AR's wife; and to AR for finding a way to stay up nights playing games. O0 (My family's sure I owe my love of kung fu movies and Godzilla to my Dad insisting on watching those when it was his turn to stay up nights with me. :smitten: )
Wait, Barth, are you learning to play War Plan Orange (the official supermod for the original War in the Pacific), or another Plan Orange? Because I'm going to be jealous if it's WPO.
Also, we aren't even quite into mid-August yet, so I wouldn't worry much about mud lasting more than a day yet. Besides, when I need every shred of maneuver I can get, mud hurts me a lot more than you. Mud has definitely saved your bacon at least twice already; it's an inconvenience to you, but it's doomed my first two real chances at turning things around.
That being said, with the hole you recently blew in my central line, I'll be glad to hope for all the mud I can get -- in the right place(s)!
So, DC3:Barbietoast with Barth.
Continuing my FortressCraft campaign and AAR (which I'll have an update to soon with more screenies this time -- things progress a lot slower in this game compared to Empyrion despite the similar topical structure), which I'm having so much fun with I straight up forgot I was supposed to download the beta for Gothic Fleet. Which I'll no doubt try some skirmishing on before trying any mp.
Speaking of mp, though, Windy and I will be trying to set up an XCOM2 match some time this weekend. If that works, I'll take video for an AAR.

Heap strong woman you got there, mate; don't make her mad!
Kudos on the kiddos!
Cannot stop playing The Division....must acquire better gear...more power...more levels.
Congrats on #4 ...... After watching births :o, if left up to me the human race would probably die out. Dont know how they do it. As far as whats on tap for gaming, there will be a whole lot of Mius Front. I'm not even going to mention the choice of BJ ..... MD is not going to handle this well :knuppel2:
Congrats on the new Airborne Rifleboy AR & Mrs. AR. Four kids and no drugs? That sounds like an AAR we need to hear. CMFI's Conrath's Counterattack campaign for me, trying to make a little progress while leaving a steady trail of destroyed German tanks along my path. And PoE for fun and to un-wind later.
Mrs. AR proved what all fathers know, viz.: women can endure far more than men...in their husbands, not to mention childbirth. Many congratulations on all that!
Campaign Series: ME Tournament Round 2
CM:BN Battle Pack scenario with Doug
CM:RT Scenario of the Month game over at the Blitz
PzB: Kursk PBEM with Doug
Son wants to break out Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit after regularly handing me my hat in Epic Duels
And all the time spent with the BG BETA has made me think to play more Blood Bowl II.
Congrats on the 4th Airborne Rifles and family, I have 2 myself and can't even imagine how crazy/awesome 4 must be O0
I'll be playing:
The Division - 5hrs in and already the loot has me hooked
Conquest of Elysium 4 - still getting seriously beat by the ai, but really having fun with it
iRacing - try the 3 new cars released this week, haven't raced in a while so will be very rusty

If you need a squaddie to do co-op with in the division, I'm 'kludger' on UPlay, only level 7 so far but will be playing alot this weekend.
Congratulations, Airborne Rifles!
Congrats AR! O0
Congrats to AR :)
Intended to play a bit more Grim Dawn but it is still crashing within 10 mins of playing so 3 hours or so in in play time since buying and I'm still in the first quest with probably no more than 30 mins actual play time, highly frustrating.
Think instead I'll play some Warlock 2 or some Divinity OS.
Tomorrow will be board gaming with friends and then off to a war game show on Sunday.
Congrats AR
Congratulations, AR :-))
Been playing 'Templar Battleforce' which I am really enjoying. Pity there is no MP mode though, since both Huw and Geek have been, erm, induced to also buy it.
Congrats to AR and Mrs. AR!

(I mean that in the best way. O0 )
Congrats!
Fortunately the Father is allowed to have all the drugs he wants.
Most of my gaming time has been spent playing a little text based Mixed martial arts game---World of Mixed Martial Arts 4---which I gravitated to after purchasing WMMA3 on Steam. The new addition---not on steam--adds some useful things to contracts and reality shows to T.V. WMM3 is just $19.95. I enjoy the real life mods-and I spent a couple weeks remodding a RL mod to start in 1991 to carry the UFC through it's early years and compete against it's rivals....with stars like Royce Gracie, Ken shamrock and Dan Severn.

That right there is a window into my plans for retirement...
Here I Stand and Virgin Queen in some endless loop while the booze and cigars keep us all company.
That and I'm going to hunt down Glenn Drover's 28mm Naps and play a lot of C&C:N.

Command & Colors is definitely a good liquor and cigar game to retire with. O0
I still have fond teenage memories of a buddy's parents leaving for months straight, one summer while we were in high school. Aside from the nightly parties, we'd sit around drinking & smoking a cigar whilst playing lighter fare such as
Supremacy in the afternoon. Nuking bitches and working up to the evening drunk. Good times! :coolsmiley:
Finally got a few hours in with Age of Charlemagne and after getting smacked around a bit by the Mercians I am now smacking around the Saxons. Digging the updated mechanics and the economy and I am definitely more successful as the Danes this go around than I was in the original Attila. Great things await!

Damned Mercians! Now I know why Ragnor Lothbrook invaded them.
So much Graviteam
Just...just...za rodinu....
I've played mostly Stardrive 2....really fun. I still suck at it but it's really a nice 4x now. I really need to learn how to build ships...i am not the type to spend hours on the ship editor. The ones from MOO 1&2 and of Horizon are the ones i feel the more it ease...i choose the things and i don't have to place them myself on the ship. Anyway, i think i can make a big step forward if i manage this.
Also played a scenario/map in Grand Ages: Rome....
