In honor of another legend lost. Enjoy your weekend fellas.
Excellent song choice JH, and the video visuals are just as good as the song. Not sure why but I got lured back into Distant Worlds this weekend.
I have been playing a lot of Fallout 4 on survival mode. Absolutely love it. I got a new computer a few weeks ago picked this up and have been playing it nonstop.
Also on Sunday will be playing command and colors Napoleonic via Vassal.
Great tune, good video and while I wouldn't necessarily call TP a legend he was definitely an icon who managed to keep his sound and music relevant without ever selling out.
I've been in a bit of a gaming rut lately. Probably will continue my pillars of eternity game and I think I'll finally pull the trigger on Stars in Shadow as it is on sale at steam this weekend.
My favorite Tom Petty song and video! Great choice.
Continuing with The Witcher 3 - Hearts of Stone and looking forward to Tuesday's release of Shadow of War.
I'm going to play OGRE. I might play OGRE on-line, but I'm certainly going to play the OGRE campaign, the OGRE basic scenario a bunch, and there's at least a possibility I'll design an OGRE scenario. All y'all are welcome to join me in playing OGRE on the OGRE field.
That and JTS Jena (x2), playtesting, Jena KS, and likely some Borderlands 2.
Great tune. O0
Thanksgiving Weekend here in the Great White North, so Monday is a holiday. \m/
Hopefully some PBEM DC1: Warsaw to Paris with Jason.
Going to start a PBEM VASSAL game of Wing Leader: Victories with SDR.
Got hooked into Stellaris again so some more of that.
Need to start learning GMt's Silver Bayonet to play VASSAL against mirth. Might get that on the table to learn it.
Pool closing and fall yard work.
That'd be my Petty favorite too. :notworthy: Not sure what I'll get time to play this weekend, depends on the level of mandatory tasks required to get me out of doing any REAL work. Every husband out there knows what I'm talking about I think. Maybe some RPG Neverwinter Nights-Storm of Zehir or Skyrim. Though I've found Alea Jacta Est is a great little fast game I can fire-off a few turns when there's a quiet moment. Have a good one Grogs.
Echoing sentiments: great Petty tune. Not my fav but it's definitely up there. O0
I'm going to continue to work through the weekend, but am hoping to get a couple of reviews done. OGRE is going to get to the table at some point, as is Techno Bowl and War in the Wind.
Polaris Sector. If I finish I might try TW Warhammer 2 or the new Eagle Day Bombing the Reich patch. I like to bomb the Reich.

Agree about Alea Jacta Est...its on the remote back up computer in the man appartment and does get played occasionally. At home now and will probably play some ARMAIII and some flight sims.
Just got my Steam code for Shadow of War! yeeeeeees
Continue with my WITE & CM PBEM's , still looking at what scenario to start next for CSME. Been playing a bit of Project Zomboid, also hoping to get some Rainbow Six Vegas 2 terrorist hunt in with the guys.
I have off this weekend.
I have been playing Distant Worlds as well oddly enough.
Plus Larry Monte has returned to his You Tube channel after his Summer "break" and is starting up a new Let's Play of Distant Worlds Universe featuring the Bacon Mod.
Some Cold Waters '84 campaign. Probably while listening to select 80s music, for proper immersion. :))
Possibly getting all the HOTAS mapping done for the DCS F-5E and/or MiG-21bis. Get some practice in those before going Cold War server multi-player, which is the primary aim.
With Field Of Glory 2 coming out this week, I may not mess with anything too long or seriously just yet. I wonder what the release price will be on FOG2? Day one purchase - if the price is right. Otherwise it will be Sim Time for awhile.
@Nefaro: Or, I could sneak into your home and, at the proper moment, break into an awesome falsetto version of the chorus of "Final Countdown"?

Wait, you mean the scene where the F-14s shoot down the Zeros? :nerd:
0.) Overtime at work tomorrow.
00.) Allergies are wiping me out quite a bit.
1.) I need to look over and collate comments from my Marshals in the forum Kriegspiel Cyrano has been running for omigosh like a year now. :notworthy: Couriers need sending out soon.
2.) Moar Fire in the Lake with the Crisis Grogs.
3.) I should be able to get another turn in on the Red Thunder mp game with Ysk. The first shot has been fired! (A little surprisingly.) What will the result be? (Almost certainly nothing.)
4.) I feel pretty confident that I can get my AAR of DC:Blitz vs Barthheart caught up, so that I can finally move on to Turn 11.
5.) I've been meandering along in Arkham Knight again this week, in order to distract my attention while I'm waiting for enough episodes of the new TTS Batman game to release for me to feel like I'm not having to wait weeks for a 2 hour session. :P
Field of Glory II comes out this week too??
Mainly Gal Civ III Crusade continuing my galactic nut (not a resource I've found in the game as yet) hunt as the Most Evil Squirrel Empire of Snathi under the leadership (got a starting leader with the new beta patch) of His Imperial Greatness Rolandus Ratus.
Thanksgiving long weekend up here in Canadaland. Having a couple of friends over for some board gaming tomorrow (and for the next 2 Saturdays as well). That aside, I'll probably play some more Cuphead on the PC, and whatever else catches my eye while I await the release of Middle Earth : Shadow of War next week.

As it happens, I've played Naval Action (yet another strange bunch of join a clan/guild oddities)...at least the pirates no longer hold half the ports in the carribean.
And Heroes and generals -- it takes me about 2 hours to begin to get my reflexes back...at least now I know I can get them back eventually.

How is OGRE? Impressions pleeeeease!
DC:Blitz Ep 10, accomplished.
So far this weekend it's been just Darkest Dungeon. I expect to branch out to CK2 or Rome 2 at some point.
I've been playing a lot of Stellaris this week. Have a decent game going as a space fairing Roman Empire. 20 empires in a 2,000 star galaxy. We had a good amount of time to explore and expand a bit before running into each other. The law on unintended consequences being what it is, it means that there is no such thing a small war. One of my allies asked for my help in a war to reconquer territory that had broken away from them as a separate empire. Their rebel province was allied to my one of my rivals. Me and my rival, where at about the same overall fire power at the start of the war. I had more ships consisting of a mix of corvettes, destroyers, and cruisers supported by 3-4 battleships, they had about an even number of everything, ~10-12 of each type. I went on the offensive and attacked a nearby system where their fleets was. I took the fight expecting to lose, but after a bloody fight I came out the victor. Lost all of my new battleships, and most of my cruisers. We then spent the next 10 years sparing over control of it. I would pull my fleet out for repairs or to go on the offensive, they would then move the fleet in to bombard but they never moved troops to retake it. Their first wave reinforcements where the only threat the entire time to my fleet, I had to briefly abandon the system but when reinforcements came forward I was able to retake it with only light losses. Once I finally realized they didn't have any offensive ground troops, and enough battleships and cruisers had come forward to give me an unbeatable edge, I went on the offensive and didn't even try and chase their fleet down when it moved back to bombard the taken planet. Took 3 other planets and then the ally AI finally had enough war score to force a victory.
While Stellaris has been running on my main monitor, I've been doing some work on a new CMANO scenario (I swear I'm going finish this one) and some work on a Stellaris ship mod I started awhile back.
A flight in the PMDG Boeing 737 NGX in Prepar3d is on my to do list for tomorrow morning.
