I really don't think there could be a more apt song
I really do wish it could be Friday everyday, I really do wish it could be Christmas everyday and it's the final Friday before Christmas...
No gaming this weekend...I'm off to Glasgow to see my family and I'll be watching National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. So I've got a 450 mile journey to make on Saturday and will likely drive my wife and daughter nuts with Christmas songs all the way.
Have a superb Christmas everyone and I'll see you the other side - likely in a less healthier state than I went into the weekend.
Take care - Merry Christmas and Merry Gaming. (oh - and for all the sensible people who abandoned the Steam Sale thread - the Steam Sale has started :)) )
And a wee note to anyone who doesn't have anyone to go and see - there are lots of people sincerely thinking about you at this time of year and hoping you take some warmth from that. :smitten:
Have a safe trip up north Judge.
I picked up Jazz Jackrabbit 2 when it was released on GOG, so I might play that for some old fashioned platforming. My mother, who is a fan of Nintendo games, has recently purchased Super Mario Odyssey, so I might play that at Christmas.
The various sales going on are not particularly exciting yet, I might just end up buying a bunch of boardgames instead like last year.

That can't be a bad thing O0
Merry Christmas and happy gaming to everyone.
Diving back into Mass Effect: Andromeda this weekend.
Probably get more gaming after the Holiday (A lot of family have come home to roost, Stepson, his wife, my 21 year old and 18 year old). But when I do, it will probably be Project Zomboid and Strategic Command.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!.. Happy Holidays to the rest!
I will actually be participating in the Steam Sale to the tune of $7.49. That princely sum will buy me M2:TW and Spellforce Platinum. And I will most likely play a lot of the latter rather than the former this weekend.
@JD: Safe journey to you and your family
@ all my Grogs: I echo Tuna, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and Happy Holidays to all who do not
How is it possible you don't have M2:TW yet? Man alive, man, that's like the bestest game ever!
I don't know how much gaming I'll be able to do this weekend. Like the rest of you, the holidays intrude. But if possible, and if I can be bothered, I'd like to hook up my wheel and pedals and get into some racing games, like Dirt:Rally and F1 2014.
Not sure what else typical fare yet. Maybe Silent Hunter 3 or 4?
Still trucking with The Division - cleared the main scenarios, gained Level 30 and am gaining phat loot. Still haven't got the Underground unlocked, but maybe this weekend.
Boy wheedled me into getting SW Battlefront 2 and he's merrily blowing things away there. I played mucho hours of the older SW Battlefront 1 & 2 titles on the PlayStation & PC so I'm looking forward to giving the new one a try.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Merry Christmas denizens.
Things may actually be pretty quiet around here for the next couple of days. I don't know how the hell that happened unless I've managed to finally reach the ability to psychically piss-off everybody around me without trying--- kind of like a super power I guess. So I'll take a shot at something really big like my ACw 2 campaign as the South or maybe try to FINALLY update all my Combat Missions onto the same version renew my long neglected campaigns there.
Happiest of Christmases to Grogs everywhere and to all a safe and successful gaming New Year. May you all get a shiny new Tiger tank, Nimitz Class carrier, or Battleax +4 under your tree on X-Mas morning. :peace:
Picked Middle East '67 from JTS Christmas Sale, my first Tiller Operational game, should be fun. First need to mod it properly, looks a tad too much retro in its original form :hide:
Happy holidays everyone <:-)
Been hoarding some Amazon points and I pretty much blew it all on board games. I have Nemo's War 2nd Edition, Holland '44, Star Trek Frontiers, and Thunder Alley all coming my way. The first three are supposed to arrive today and the last one tomorrow.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good spending of money on silly things like this. O:-)
Merry Christmas everyone! Some more Pike & Shot for me, with some more AssCreed: Rogue and after that...maybe, finally some Battlefield 1.
Stellaris, more stellaris and seeing if twilight is on sale
Was keeping an eye on tiny metal but the Devs have turned out to be asshats so I'll hold
And glueing and painting a 500 point British airborne bolt action platoon
Working.
^BOO
yes, rather.
Quite.
BOO!!!!!
I can already tell I'm too lazy to bother pulling the racing gear out of the closet and hook it up. Maybe I'll just settle for drunk CK2 or even M2:TW! \m/

Do it! Today I spent some time a built a stand for my wheel and pedals. Fits right up to my couch so I can play DiRT: Rally on my man cave TV.
Now I just have to learn to drive it properly and not like a little old lady.... :P
^So you need to learn how not to be Canadian
Need to learn to drive like a Montreal'er. :hide:
^lol
There is nothing...NOTHING...better in PC gaming than drunk CK2 or M2:TW. Maybe drunk Civ V.
We should do drunk Civ V sometime.
THAT would be a treat for the GH YouTube channel. ;D
I'm ready. And drunk. BTW.
What's the pants situation?
Probably balled up on his floor next to his cowering dog as he plays Triumph of the Will and cries into his beer stein.
Oh wait, that's not Gus. O:-)
What pants? >:(

How is it possible you don't have M2:TW yet?
If you go back to last week's FRIDAY thread, you'll see the current M2:TW game I am playing. But that's on disc. I want to have it on Steam so if I ever get bored, I can mod it up much easier. Gotta play
Third Age at some point considering what kind of giant Tolkien fan I am. :bd:
The Third Age mod for M2TW is the best damned mod I ever played for a TW game. And I'm not drunk.
I had heard that. And I'm looking forward to it.
Concentrating on Stellar Monarch for the week...an under-appreciated game.
Medieval 2: Total War, with the Stainless Steel mod (assuming I can get it installed correctly).
^You can do it.
Actually, I've already uninstalled Medieval 2 and requested a refund. Rant to come in a separate thread.
:-[
Lessee, I got
- Sherman Leader
- Tiger Leader Upgrade Kit
- Terrain Tile Expansion for Sherman Leader/Tiger Leader
- Tank Leader Commander Cards Expansion Pack
- Thunder Alley
- Star Trek Frontiers
- Nemo's War 2nd Edition (yeesssss!)
- Fallout: The Boardgame
- Mice & Mystics
- Tide of Iron (first edition, not Next Wave, in a trade)
- Tide of Iron: Fury of the Bear Expansion
- Tide of Iron: Streets of Stalingrad Expansion
...and all this in the last week and a half or so. MERRY NEW YEAR
I've got some reading and unboxing articles and reviews to do!
JTS Jena (x2)
Jena KS...I shall miss it when it's gone...
Playtesting (x3)
Christmas dinner...pray for us...
Having finished Fallout IV -- one way -- my son now demands a hard go at Skyrim, so here goes nothing.
And my Commands and Colors Napoleonics project begins very, very soon.
Merry Christmas and, yeah, God Bless Us, Every One.
Off until January 3rd. Prepar3d, Elite, and CMANO will for see some of my time. Everything else on my HD is a possible, I have a lot to catch up on.
I got my copy of Pendragon in the mail last week. Soon as I get the dining room table cleared, I'm going to get it set up.
A lot of reading to catch up on as well. About half way through re-reading Massie's classic "Dreadnought". I've got two scifi novels (Andy Weir's "Artemis" and Drew Wagars "Elite: Premonition) and 2 history (The British Carrier Strike Fleet after 1945 by David Hoibbs, and a "Tale of Two Navies" by I cant remember) behind it
Merry Christmas, safe travels, and god bless everyone!
Spending Christmas day hiding in my room since my mother has entered psycho mode of my sister not coming down from Qld. Joy.
Finally finished my history of Christianity book, 1016 pages of people whining at each other over the correct way Jesus blinked. Moving on to swords around a throne, about the Grand Armée.
Gaming wise it's always overwatch, going to try to teach my partner how to play steel division
^ This man...this man here...may have some of the most difficult Christmas missions.
Good luck.
^ What Gus said. :-\ Uff-da.
