These kids do an awesome job of this song!
The gaming weekend will consist of pbem turns of Field of Glory:Empire and Civ IV:BtS as Darius.
Have a great one Grogs!!!
Excellent version of this song :dreamer:
Are playing Darius in both games?
I've completed some of the games i had mentionned last friday and am satisfied: Stars in Shadow (lost), Strardrive 2 (lost), Master of Orion: CtS (scientific victory with the Sakkras :bd:).
Now, tonight i may play a little of my Civ 6 campaign with Korea.
Then i'll be on a field trip for three weeks, starting playing on sunday (thus still valid for this thread). The plan is to go fully retro with my 2011 acer netbook:
- Waterloo: Napoleon's Last Battle (2001). Full battle.
- Austerlitz: Napoleon's Greatest Victory (2002). Full battle
- Civil War Generals 2: Grant, Lee, Sherman (1997) . Full campaign as the Confederacy.
- Master of Orion 3 (2003). Full campaign with the Tachidis (it's been a while since i last played it).
- Broken Sword 3: the sleeping dragon (2003)

Some great gaming there sir, if your eyes can take it :)
I need to watch that video when I get home. Almost had tickets to see Tool tomorrow in NJ but could not afford them in the end :/
This weekend will see me continue to soldier through Witcher 2, which is still running like crap on my machine but still captivates with great writing and quests.
And I am so happy with the release of Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition I burst. There is so much new content I will be playing for years, just like the original.
Well...I have two rigs set up on a KVM switch in my new office, but the main new rig that I will use with my flight gear and VR is still not set up. I had that setback with the broken 43" 4k LG monitor and I'm reluctant to set everything up until the replacement arrives.
There is a lot I can do with the PCs I do have up and running, but I'm sort of in that rut where I watch a lot of other people playing games on youtube, but never actually run anything myself. Maybe I'll dabble in some Command: Modern Operations, or Unity of Command II. Maybe I'll install the new Star Wars game since I have access through Origins Premier? Dunno...we'll see. I was supposed to start a trial today, but it adjourned so I've been so busy prepping witnesses and getting ready that I'm mentally and physically drained. I'll probably sleep a lot if baby lets me.
Continuing to work on BoC and my CWII game. Maybe a little messing around with CMO. I've been thinking about doing an AAR on the "Chains of War DLC" and this might be a good opportunity to start that.
There's a video on Youtube somewhere of some kids playing The Pot by Tool, and Danny was on drums. Supposedly he just happened to be there and was invited to play. He grins from ear to ear all the way through!
Forgot to mention I will be fighting the urge to pick up Unity of Command 2 as well. I got the bug for it.

If it makes you feel any better I've been a fan since Aenima, but since I'm UK-based, I've never got to see them during one of their many world tours of a few US cities. ::)
Me neither. I did see A Perfect Circle open for Nine Inch Nails at Madison Square Garden about 20 years ago, though. That was some show.

Pretty much my usual: Unity of Command2 and War Thunder
Going old school with Tiller's Panzer Campaign: Smolensk 41' and ACW Campaign Gettysburg. Just scenarios, not the full campaign in either.
Ramping up the pbem play, got turns for FOG2, BA1 and BA2 to play. Definitely some Warplan, game rocks, probably some more Space Beast Terror Fright and sprinkle in some Armored Brigade which i have neglected lately. That may all change as i see the new Doom is 67% off on Steam, I'm urging to murder, death, kill some virtual shit, and demon hellspawn fit the bill.
Heading to the Little Apple to watch my daughter's alma mater Kansas State play West Virginia. Tomorrow should be a beautiful day for a football game. GO CATS!!!!
I will count this as gaming for the weekend...... :bd:
Probably start a new campaign of Stars in Shadow which is starting to become my go to space 4X and possibly some Grand Ages Medieval.
Tripoli's ACW 2 AAR has inspired me to fire-up my old ACW 2 Grand Campaign as the South and see how I can do. So.... probably this time tomorrow I'll be whipped. :buck2:

I bought my kids tickets to see them earlier this year. I hate it for you, Huw, that they don't get out your way much. I would be greatly disappointed if I couldn't see my favorites. I sympathize.
Cheers MD. They do seem to only care about their US fans. You still can't even get Fear Inoculum for less than £80 here! :idiot2:
^They just released an odd CD package for around 40 dollah of their new album but that's still way too expensive for me. I need a standard CD release. I love them but come on.
Yeah and they've announced an even more deluxe version too! Sad to see them get so greedy.
Well unless the album comes down in price this will remain the only Tool album I don't own.
Maynard seems to have done a 360 180 (I know math!) on his anti-digital stance in the past. Now he appears to only want to offer physical copies to people who REALLY want one and are willing to invest 2-3x the cost of what a CD should be. Even more disappointing is it's the first Tool album without a vinyl release at all...
Saw an interview with MJK, he was against the digital deal but got out voted by the rest of the band. I have amazon music, so finally there available there, they were one of the last hold outs. Think the interview was on Joe Rogan podcast.
The music of the new album is incredible. I have listened to it using The YouTube :)
Danny Carey is awesome \m/

No. I am Belgae in both pbems I am in. I was doing great in one, which has since ended as one of the participants had their territory devolve into civil war. Which he lost. The other, I have a large army and a leader who provides great military bonuses but none of my territories can feed the army for more than one turn. That makes it difficult to maneuver.

Me too. My brother got to go see them live on Halloween in Milwaukee. Showed me some footage from the show, amazing.
I decided to dive into Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt- and I gotta say this is one incredible game. It's like they really upped their game for this, and I am loving it.
Witcher 3 is one of my all time favorites. Just put aside Witcher 2 for a bit, first time playing through.
