I hope everybody has a meaningful and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend.
I plan on flying a lot of DCS. I'm having an absolute blast learning the AV8B Harrier. I think I prefer it over the Hornet! :hide:
Also might play some ARMA 3, something Total War and perhaps something little more groggy...don't know what yet.
External fixin's of the home are mostly complete and that means (maybe) some free time, soooo...ARMAtime!
Will also, no doubt, take advantage of the triple 7 studio's sale of stuff and finally pick up one or two of their "Bo_," series as well now that the paycheck has hit the bank.
Stay safe, folks!
USMA West Point graduation is this weekend and we rent out our house, so I am not near my gaming rig until Sunday. I did download my first iPad game, Rome TW, but haven't tried it yet.
Watching the 50 over Cricket final tomorrow and drinking copious amounts of alcohol so would be drunk in charge of any game I tried :)
Awesome tune!
Here's what I've got planned for the weekend game wise:
Deity Empires
Heroes & Generals
Civ III ('The Cold War Deluxe' mod and maybe some 'Star Wars: The Mod Awakens')
Clean up Avalon Hills 'Turning Point Stalingrad' off my table and get 'Paths of Glory' setup
More Deity Empires and delving back into HoI4 with the 1.7.0 beta.
I think I will finally have time to dig into some Deity Empires this weekend. Maybe throw in some PS4 time with War Thunder, World of Warships, or Paths of Exile. I haven't decided yet.
Plus, my girlfriend and I plan on breaking out Spirits of the Wild for some holiday weekend table gaming. With beer.
Have a safe and relaxing long weekend, Grogs!

Well I am OFF.
Gamewise?
Field of Glory II, Deity Empires - I am grasping the game, but I have had to restart over and over... ::) but I am learning.

At Lords?
I'll be obsessing over Deity Empires. I'm hooked!
Combat Mission, either Normandy or Red Thunder. Give the new patch a look.
7 days to Die, maybe the Borderlandz mod or Darkness Falls or maybe just vanilla since the last patch the mods fps are all over the place.
Killing Floor 2, new patch released with new map and game type.
Is it bad that when I read this title, the first thing that popped into my head was: SINCE U BEEN FRIIIIDAAAAAAAY :buck2:
I have no idea what I will play but I can guarantee it won't be what I planned on playing. Maybe Squad, Mordhau, Rule the Waves 2... Maybe I'll finally take out the Japanese in the new Panzer Campaigns. Most likely it'll be none of those and something completely different than what I planned :uglystupid2:

World of Warships is likely as are DCS and Pillars of eternity 2...PS interestingly (for me anyway) CMANO White Piano (Italy vs Yugoslavia 1966) has replaced Pillars of Eternity 2.
In CMANO, I modified the Crete 1955 nuclear bloodbath to be centered on an 1960 Ark Royal carrier group (with Scimitars and Gannets) and some Lightnings for cover from Souda. I expected the Scimitars and Lightnings to deal with 1955-style Russian and Egyptian (old UK) aircraft without too much trouble and in fact they did Okay (two Lightnings down for 4 Tu-4s -- more or less B29s -- and one Vampire). the real shock was that the Bullpup beam-riding missile works against Ships so the Scimitar with Bullpup combo worked fairly well -- 25% hit rate on DDs so far.
Great song!
Most of my attention will go on my Medieval 2: Total War Campaign as England.
I may also play the second tutorial of Surviving Mars....
Got some Imperator in today before the tornado warning and severe thunderstorms. Hope to get some more in before back to work. Also want to get some CMANO and probably something else if time and weather allows
Stay safe nelmsn. \m/
Just finished a Saturday Night Fight hosted by Cyrano, vs Barthheart. Video link forthcoming.
I should be able to finish uploading my demonstration of the first tutorial mission of Plane Mechanic Simulator (which I like a lot) tomorrow morning.
Quite a lot of GROGPUBLIC umpiring still to process tomorrow, which is great! -- the game paused somewhat during and after Easter, as summer weather started opening up and school weeks were finishing.
I'd like to get back to UBOAT and/or Fade to Silence, but my attention has been rather captured recently by messing around in The Isle and (much moreso) Dead In Vinland. Possibly a series on that one coming soonish.
Diety Empires and Total War 3 Kingdoms. Really enjoying both!
Surviving Mars, HoI4, Heroes of the Storm and TW Warhammer round out my weekend.
Thank you to all current and former service men and women on the site who allows me to have the freedoms that we do!
A great way to memorialize an underappreciated group of soldiers who fought, in their own way, for the freedom of the world in WW2...
The Battle of Britain, at the level of grease and wrenches!
(Note: greasy wenches not included.)
