Off today but busy tomorrow.

Still working on Xenoblades but also thinking I want to spend some time on the PC side, maybe even an actual wargame like DC Barbarossa or WitW

I suppose Battle of Stalingrad or Battle of Moscow as they're new. Maybe some Project Cars 2 and F1 2017

Final weekend of the 6 Nations - so I wouldn't imagine a whole lot of gaming.

Also, I'll be working on my Airfix 1/72 P-51D model my daughter's boyfriend got me

Happy gaming groggies  :notworthy:

Technically unemployed today as I start a new job on Monday so extra day of gaming!  O0

More exploration of CY6. Having fun so far but it's not without it's flaws.

Jena Kriegsspiel continues... lots of action on the 19th of Oct. 1806!

More Stellaris. I'm liking the changes so far. Playing on a 1000 star, 2 arm spiral with 9 other empires and 1 fallen. Set the star lanes to 75% and it's created some great choke points.

More Genesis on VASSAL. My inbred Egyptian Empire might finally get it's collective shit together this turn...  :P

Some VASSAL work... even though I retired form that...

Some DIY basement finishing work to get done.

American Yardwork Simulator will be my jam this weekend along with looking for a car (Mrs.' got all smashed up two days ago in winter weather) and the possibility of becoming a foster parent to our Neice's one year old (bad stuff going down there, so I don't mind but still I'm fourteen years out of experience with such a small one in the home), so...yay.

So if/when I do get some down-time, I think I'm going to be shooting things; need to dust off the R6 Siege and see what that new zombie mode is about.

Have a good one, folks!

Mostly Surviving Mars I suspect. Maybe more Civ6 Rise and Fall.

Mates want to play hearts of iron 3 but it just does not grab me.

Wish I could get some Total War team mates! I know you're in the wrong time zone. I played with my sons the other night. They did well, but I couldn't convince them to keep playing.  My older son wants me to play League of Legends with him, which I'll do some with him this weekend for bonding time. Younger son would rather play Stellaris/Hoi IV MP with his online friends.

@Ian C:  Glanced at your post and saw "Wanking the Tiger".  I can't even imagine what I thought that was.

Will pick up CY6 for my son so we can have at.  As I said elsewhere, and agreeing with Vance, it's basically good, but needs work.  Hope they commit to improvements.  It could be very good.

19th October, as Vance indicates, was a bit nuts in the Jena KS.  LONG fatigue calculation phase, probably on Saturday.

Battle of Auerstedt (JTS) with Doug. At present it's all Lipizzaners pirouetting in the mist.

Playtest X2

Finished 53 out of 96 in the last FoG2 tournament and have signed up for the next one.  Another 100-member bang-a-rang.

Dammit Carl! Good luck... that is quite the challenge.

At first I loved World in Conflict but it's beginning to feel a little dated to me now...still solid but I am falling out of love for it a bit. Can anyone recommend other Cold War themed RTS or FPS games?

Also March Madnessing.

Ultimate General - continue my lackluster campaign = Stop running AWAY!
X-Plane 11

May sprinkle something else in there..... Action Golf etc...

Northgard - picked this up when it hit 1.0.  Not sure what I think of it yet.  It's not really what I expected.  But I'll plug away at it for a bit longer before making my mind up

Stellaris - probably

Deep Sixed - spaceship engineer/captain simulator!  What's not to love?

Can't really decide, either Civ VI R&F or Endless Space 2 or AoW III probably.

Tomorrow mainly watching the Six Nations and hopefully an Ireland Grand Slam   :)

I have been working my way through Deus Ex GOTY. I managed to tweak it to run full screen on my 1920x1080 monitor and it does not look too bad. The gameplay is great.

^Delightful.

Were it not taken, I would demand a change to the name of this forum:

According to the site, "talking cock" is "a local Singaporean term meaning either to talk nonsense or to engage in idle banter."

Played some Vermintide II today and went on a hike.  There's a 3-day miniatures/wargaming convention happening in town this weekend so I'm headed off there soon.  Going to play Lock 'n Load Heroes of Normandy tonight.  Not sure about tomorrow.  A couple of friends are running a demo table for Star Wars Armada so I might go pester them for a bit.  Someone's running a Rorke's Drift minis game in the afternoon that I'd like to get in on.  Want to get in some IL-2 Kuban and some Stellaris on Sunday/Monday then it's on to night shifts next week.

JD,

How is Project Cars 2 compared to the first one?  I'm currently obsessing over Assetto Corsa, the Porsche DLC - The mighty 917(30)! - which I must confess I currently lack the skills to drive.

Anyone have an opinion on Call of Duty: Ghosts for SP? It's on sale for ~20.00 and I loved Infinite Warfare.

I know you don't necessarily like CDKEYS.com, but Ghost only $5 there....might make your decision easier.

I bought it and installed it with no issues through CDKeys. I still can't shake that feeling that they are a gray market site, though. The way they present your key, basically a picture of it scribbled on a napkin, is the most disconcerting. But hey whateva.
