Title: Twi-iii-ice as hard as it was the FRIDAY I said goodbye
Post by: MetalDog on July 12, 2019, 05:37:48 AM


What's good Grogs?!  Been a long hot week here and I am glad to finally be at the end of it.  The weekend brings gaming and gaming means Civ.  If there is any time left, it'll be another game, mow the lawn, the deluxe edition.  Oh and for any of you threatened by the incoming weather, stay safe!

Grandkids are in town, playing bingo with the vets at the VA hospital tonight, and yard work means very little time to play anything but PBEM games but that new copy of Fields of Glory Empires will be calling.

A weekend of figuring out Field of Glory: Empires.  There's a lot to this game.

Count me in for diving into Field of Glory: Empires. There's alot to learn.  I'll have check out the YouTube tutorial videos and graze through Grognerd's guide on the Steam community page.

Besides that, some Lost Cities Card Game w/ Expansion with the girlfriend.


Have a safe and fantastic weekend, Grogs!

Field of Glory: Empires
Field of Glory: Empires
All work and no play makes Gus a dull dwarf
Field of Glory: Empires
Field of Glory: Empires
AssCreed: Origins

...and MAYBE beginning a modded, tricked out campaign of Attila: Total War (Charlemagne) as the Byzantines in Sicily and North Africa.

Oh and some reading of the Field of Glory: Empires manual

Normally I'd be all over FoG:E....but man, I really fell in love with DCS. I never tried before because I never really enjoyed flight sims. But this one grabbed me b/c of the realism and immersion. I have such little gaming time b/c the new wife 2.0 sees gaming time as "why don't you want to spend time with me". I'll get her trained up but in the meantime, it's 30 mins here, 1 hour there. So no time for 2 games

Feel good on the Harrier and flew the last couple runs with "immortality" off and everything else set for realism. I AM cheating with INS; having it marked to auto-set INS. So I'm not up on TACAN nor will I be. So the only thing I have left to learn is refueling. I know how to create the flight and reach it on radio, but I have to learn how to get peg A into slot 1.

After that, I'll start my first real missions and campaigns (instead of learning on "create fast mission"

It's just simply a "cool f-ing game" and I'm glad I started with the Harrier. It has a wide variety of missions and weapons while lacking more technically difficult things like radar. I think I'm ready to start the F/A-18

Ahem.  Her Majesty's Ship.  Tutorial done, will dive in properly later this evening.  I'm looking forward to this!

My gaming group and I are planning to do some bowling and mini golf in Tower Unite as we always do, followed by trolling kids in Roblox, followed by some Planetside 2 for some reason.

And last but not least, some multiplayer Arma 3 on the fun server I found.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Are any still alive? I figured if it's classified, you're saying it was a long time ago!

Yep. We had about 25% of the class there. It was the 40 th year reunion. How did I get to be so old?
