Finished off Gilgamesh last weekend. His master, Shaka, is next. Then it's game over. Got a lot of p&p D&D prep to do, too. Have a great weekend Grogs!!
Loves me some Allman Brothers!! Great choice. PBEM files, hopefully helping on the final review of Eylau-Friedlnd for JTS, and then will try to get through some CMANO tutorials and maybe some Stellaris if time permits.
HOI 4 and GTA V (or another 3 letter word game).

Pretty much the usual: World of Warships and A boardgame (Where Eagles Dare).
The Allman Brothers have helped me get into some pretty hot chicks' pants. Even The Wife on occasion! And for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you Allman Brothers.
Continuing Battletech and Titanfall 2, with maybe some Elite: Dangerous and Sins of a Solar Empire mixed in.
But...Thrones of Britannia looms large.
More of my CONUS adventures in a Piper Cub. Will hopefully get to Corpus Christi by Monday. Flying through Big Bend NP later today.

Drinking copius amounts of Ale and playing Order of Battle Winter War
HOI4 with the new DLC...it's a quite different game now; deeper, more complexity in resource management (fuel production and storage) and the entire naval game.
Warframe because it RULES!
I'm not really playing anything else at the moment.
I want to hang out with FlickJax more.

OOB has a multiplayer component right?
Get him on the Groghead Discord channel with you, and boom instant drinking OOBuddy! :D
I'm downloading Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun right now (Steam sale). Wish me luck, I'm terrible at stealth games!
I've been keeping an eye on a release for DAWN OF MAN, and it came out of Early Access today; promptly bought it based on solid reviews about its release state. I am, admittedly, a slut for games like this... :-[ :-*
Let's have those impressions, Mr Pratt!
Off this weekend (Next Saturday - INVENTORY :buck2:)
So, what am I to do?
Possible - Field of Glory II - I watched a Baz Battles about Leuctra and so I am curious about that. I don't know how to do the Sacred Band for an Army list.
Then there's the continuation of Nobunaga's Ambition - Sphere of Influence - Clan Oda campaign.
Other than that...I'm kicking the tires hard on Darkest Hour.
but I am just in this odd funk lately.

First impressions after 30 minutes: it feels like a prequel to Imperium Romanum. A 3D leisurely (so far) community builder on an expansive map (ringed with mountains as art in the distance once your camera nears the map edge). Kind of reminds me why I hate managing people ::) , but only in the sense that people kind of wander around aimlessly sometimes -- but often they'll work on their own initiative. Also a definite Empire Earth vibe, but that's probably just the topic. Mod support has already started on Steam, including starts with 9 children trying to prepare to survive the winter, and a lone adult couple (Adam and Eve style).
Tutorial is helpful and not broken so far.
Game is pausable (with tab, which activates "PRIMAL VISION", okay, we'll just call that cowboy vision :cowboy: ), and orders can be given from there with decent targets highlighted including animals of different difficulty. No predators yet on the map (aside from a flying eagle for flavor), but this is the tutorial: the animals clearly spawned in when I passed a certain tutorial point.

Did somebody say,'funk?' Let's turn this mutha OUT!
Gah I hated Empire Earth so very much.
open beta for division 2. about 4 hours played so far. has more base building stuff as there are settlements you can find and build up. have also found one outpost that needs supplied. not sure what benefits i get it for keeping it supplied and under my control though.
Division 2 time in beautiful D.C.! Best part of the game so far (after doing the previous iterations of test gaming) is randoming up a character that looks like Kenny Powers - or that lead singer from Creed with a Fu-Manchu - one of the two. Miss shooting Cleaners' tanks, but there are some cool bits to the new girl, so it's all good.
On the fence to pre-order it, or to wait until I can get my 20% off via Ubisoft gaming credit thingy as they don't allow you to utilize that (the credits for percentage off on pre-order games) in the U.S. apparently, so piss on them.
Toodles, folks, and have fun!

I loved that game -- still do (not very fond of the sequels) -- but don't worry, the Dawn of Man thing isn't really like EmpE. It just seems similar in its early aesthetic.
I'm building a delicatessen in Brindisium this weekend in my Rome 2 campaign with the DEI mod. Those people love their Cold Cuts, but who doesn't right? :clap: Have a great weekend Grogs.
ALERT! ALERT!
All those who love living as dwarves: Deep Rock Galactic is free to play for the weekend, from Steam.
Space dwarves. Except not in space. But under space. :D
I love this game so much....
Drop me a line on Steam if someone decides to mess with it, it's a hoot. LEFT 4 DEAD SPACE DWARVES!
(Single-player is quite possible now, too, by the way; even though the mechanics are mostly the same, it's a subtly different experience than playing with friends.)
Is there a better rock than Southern? I think not. And what better band than The Allman Bros. to spread that Southern comfort?
I was going to get the new DLC for HoI4, a game I've stared at but never played, until I realized a new DLC for Mius Front was released today that features for the first time Panthers and on map Nebelwerfer in August '43.
Mind if I expand on the AB? Here is another later release of Warren Hayes song Soulshine. One of the smoothest guitar endings in a song ever. Go ahead and skip to 4:38 if you're impatient.
Heat wave weekend here, cant really go outside. Looking at the princess freeway fire cloud from my window right now. Had two interviews yesterday in 40 C heat, in different regions. Still tired.
Gaming wise its just gonna be RE2 and apex legends, the 160th is doing the operation trebuchet mod tomorrow, so ill prob check that out.
Quotehelped me get into some pretty hot chicks' pants. Even The Wife on occasion
I'm still trying to figure out why Gus wants to wear women's pants? Is it the cut?
And hof, I thought you were in Gemany.
For me, a little For the King with two long-time buddies playing coop. Maybe some Endless Space 2 after my daughter's birthday party. Or maybe I'll just take a nap... :bd:
Remember being a child and fighting to NOT take a nap.....
Thanks for the impressions Jason, I'm glad to hear they're positive so far. :)
I'm very tempted to play The Division 2 myself, but I already took part in a previous beta and I don't want to spoil too much for myself. I have it preordered (first game I've preordered in a long time) and I absolutely cannot wait to dive in in a couple of weeks!

One of my favorite Allman tunes. They played it when I saw them back a few years ago. I was in heaven.
Last night and today its mainly been/will be a mix of
The Division 2 Open Beta and
Subnautica. Did spend some time last night writing part of the mission briefing for my El Dorado Canyon
CMANO scenario.
New headset comes in tomorrow. If it arrives early, I'll be spending some time in
Prepar3d. If it doesn't arrive until later, I'll catch up on
Elite Dangerous.

And Ain't Wastin' Time No More is one of my favorites. That song encompassed what I love about Southern rock; large bands and a full sound which mixed rock, blues, country, rock-a-billy, and contemporary.

The Allman's informed a lot of my youth. Been diggin' them for 40 years or so \m/ I'll give you two more favorites and then we should probably take this down here:

Can't play that by itself, it needs to be preceded by
That's like breaking up Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid!
Nice...feel the Allman's flow through you.
Flew with W8t and Tuna today several times (got high score for the Axis on one of my plays); and then I helped W8 get back up to speed (sort of) on WH40K: Dawn of War: Soulstorm. Our final match for the night was a fatal slog, though: we were in a linear match against Chaos Marines backed by Dark Eldar, and perhaps because I was in front as the Imperial Guard we got STRAIGHT MURDERED.
I mean, I was destroying both enemy teams a lot faster than they were killing off me, but the difference was that I couldn't make any progress while they could slowly cap points around me. I had a bad feeling at that point we were going to lose! -- and my bad feeling was correct. The computer just outplayed us -- and they were on standard, with no buffs. In hindsight, I should have pushed ahead to the middle relic point and captured it to start making an advance base there. The enemy would have flanked me into my central base, I suppose, although by then I might have had tank and arty support to guard my base (if not the Baneblade tank yet).
The good news, such as it is, is that after repairing a few corrupted files (CHAOS!! :pullhair: ) we were also able to get the Ultimate Apocalypse mod to work on W8t's computer, so we'll be getting murdered by whole other nightmares tomorrow! :D
