Here's a little something to kick you in the gut.
A lot of DCS, Aurora C#, maybe some Star Citizen or IL-2 BoX.
Enjoy Grogs.
Ozzy knew bats are dangerous years ago !
Just DCS for me.

Continuing with my Field of Glory - Empires campaign. Starting my Civ VI Alexander the Great campaign. And taking a break from AssCreed.
When the break is over will dive back into AssCreed: Origins and later AssCreed: Revelations.
My driving sim fun continues with Wreckfest, and thanks to the sale this past week, Dirt Rally 2.0 (been watching a lot of rally stuff prior to this, so I'm right chuffed at a chance to get to try and put a Lancia Stratos through it's paces).
Stay safe, folks, and see you out there on the virtual track(s)!
Good tune. I think they use it in Ken Burns Vietnam War Documentary.

I'll be playing Dominions 5 Grogsgame PBEM with several people here. There will be some Warhammer Gladius, Heroes & Generals, and maybe squeeze in some Dawn Of War with Jason at some point.
I want to try to drive my truck in American Truck Simulator as well time permitting.

DCS sounds good. That and war thunder and I'm working on my WAW scenario -- The Revolt of Megabyzius! AKA Egypt 458 BCE
Final beta testing of Carrier Battles 4 Guadalcanal - soon to be released :bd:
And some Combat Mission.
Dammit Carl! I played a couple of hours of Wreckfest a while back - even though it was pretty frenetic, I could probably enjoy it if I invested more time into it. How long did it take you to get better at it?
The original plan was to play only the following games:
- Port Royale 3
- Hercule Poirot's ABC
But a new beta patch has be released for Astra Exodus, so i'll play that one as well....

Lol. Depends on how you define "better." For me, it's down to focusing on a particular car (to get the "feel," of it down if that makes sense), modifying it as I can in the garage, and then learning to properly tweak the tweakable variables prior to racing on each track. To be honest, I'm not through the ranking bit that's in the game - I'm still puttering around in the "Junior Nationals," - as I spend more of my time just racing the same car against AI on different tracks.
Or, I go with the comedy option and run that huge, flippin' Cadillac. Straight line? No problem. Curve? Uh...about that...
The game gives me all the feels, as I love to see the older styles of cars that take me back to the local stock car races I went to as a kid.
Great song pic this week, JH!
Some Shellshock Live tonight with friends. I plan on still getting the hang of Armoured Commander II. Love reading smithcorp's AAR in the AC II thread.
Maybe some Total War:Shogun 2.
Have a great and safe weekend, WAR PIGS!
Groggy
Thanks Carl - guess I shouldn't be too upset that I suck at it. Maybe a few beers would help me 'git good.'
Good tune. You never will find an more anti-war song than that one. A friend of mine when I was a kid used to put that one on when we would start playing GDW's "The Third World War" series.
I have the Reikland to unify in Total War Warhammer, Not really sure what else.
The weather sucks here today, which is kind of nice because I don't feel obligated to be outside and can game guilt free!
Not entirely sure yet but some ideas are:
Scourge of War: Gettysburg. The Grant series on History Channel kind has be craving some Civil War action.
Thanks to Jarhead, I found myself on that abandonware site yesterday downloading a game called Carrier Strike along with Carriers at War Complete. Carrier Strike looks pretty deep and I managed to get it to run. I'd like to work on that a bit and see if there's enough game there to cancel out the graphics.
If I can be bothered to get my hotas set back up I'd like to play a bit of WoFF. I haven't flown in forever.
Cold Waters, CMO, and H3 Ultimate might get some time.
I think that's enough. I never stick with these plans anyway.
Getting worked over in the Grogheads MP Dominions 5 game. People be hating on Skellies, but human sacrifice is evidently OK. ;D
Any spare time after Dominions 5, and watching "Let's play Dominion 5" vids, will go to hopefully getting to take the Tortoise out some more in World of Tanks.

Maybe it's your scary skull emblem. The ancient lizard people of C'tis have got a good few skellies kicking around, but we keep 'em in the ground 'til we need em instead of flaunting all those spookies and putting a skull on our emblem. :buck2:

I really need to start a thread on this, but very quickly:
If you dig super tactical WW2 Carrier Warfare you should give Carrier Strike a hard look. I spent about 4 hours with one scenario today. Got my ass kicked, but the depth appears to be deep, and the tactical decisions are right out of the boardgame Carrier. You really see where The Admiral is getting his inspiration.
Graphics suck; gameplay=7. I need to figure out if some of the parts that were annoying me (like how long a strike has been airborne) are in there and hidden, or just aren't in there (boo!).
Ozzy sucks. Fight me. O:-)
Continuing my Prince Imrik campaign (Mortal Empires) in
Warhammer II. Pursuant to my exchange with
W8taminute from a couple weeks back, I've also been playing a little
Imperium Galactica II the last few days.

Good man. O0 For as much as I'm enjoying my Imrik campaign, I'll admit that even now the nation calls...

Aye, a gem! She's out of her league enough that graphics don't matter so much. It's like a very sexy voice on the phone, better not think too much about the rest.
But then again, as shown in RedArgo's topic, proper contenders are on the rise :coolsmiley:

It's funny because I was playing it and reading the manual and thought, "man, this game has Grigsby written all over it." And sure enough, it's his game.
I find it hugely interesting how he's been refining his carrier warfare model over the years.
But yeah, that game is a real gem. It really feels like a pc version of VG's Carrier. There is a lot of tactical goodness, which is just fantastic. It'll be a nice bridge game while I wait for TFA to come out!

If you're talking about Ozzy as a singer and his solo career, I agree 100%.
But you best not be hating on Tony Iommi, AKA the Riff God. :knuppel2:
^ Fair 'nuff.
