Have been on vacation since last Saturday and will be packing it in today. This weekend I'll have a lot of catching up to do...IL-2 CLOD Tobruk, Star Citizen 3.10 and perhaps most importantly, my press code for Grand Tactician: American Civil War! Yeah, baby!  :bd:

We are just entering a bit of a heat wave here in Western Europe, so I guess I will be out in the woods this weekend more than suffering in my hot apartment. We don't do air conditioning here for the few days per year it would make a difference. Quietly riding my electric bike to generate my own airflow will be my game this weekend, interrupted by visits to country-side tea gardens.

I too have been on vacation at Cape May NJ since last Saturday (not with JH) and miss my PC. When I get home tomorrow I will begin wrapping up my Order of Battle - Morning Sun campaign (three missions left IIRC) and will start up the OoB Sandstorm campaign next, with the OoB Rising Sun campaign after that.

After that...as summer fades...will be RPG and Horror season...Divinity 2, the Outlast games, and maybe another go at TW Warhammer, modded, as the Empire.

Summer is in full swing in the South.  Anytime y'all want to come down and get some REAL heat, there's room on the front porch for you to sit a spell.  As for gaming, by now, you can probably write it along with me:  Civ IV BtS mp and dueling in the Arena.  Stay cool my Groggies!

And SRV is always a solid choice  :coolsmiley:

I grew up and lived in South Jersey until I was 45....great place Cape May, but I spent more time in Ocean City and Wildwood.

It's a different world down here from central or northern Jersey. The Wife wants to retire here. I am currently wrapping my brain around the idea.

With or without you Gus? Just curious.

Unfortunately yes, here in Oklahoma the last 10-14 days have been below average with some days only hitting 81 or so, which is about 14 degrees below the average. Hit 90 today and the heat is supposed to be back and rising throughout the next several days/week. As far as gaming goes in kind of a drought waiting on Grand Tactician.

Ha with me, Slash. I am not a beach person but I'm willing to give it a shot to make The Wife happy.

Always good idea to make sure Gus. These girls can be tricky. Retirement is a big step and it's good you're both looking to plan ahead. And on the same page. I'd recommend talking to your financial guy or girl to get the money-side in order first. Then find somewhere your kids can't find you....  :coolsmiley:

^Well that's key right there man. The Wife has made it clear she would like a massive house that the kids (and hopefully grandkids) and extended family can all come to for visits all year round, like an airplane terminal. I said I am fine with that as long as I have a soundproof study down a long and distant hallway.

Tank Crew
Dawn of War 1 Soulstorm with friends. We generally beat the AI on insane or harder now. Trying the ultimate apocalypse mod.

And just like that, the weekend is gone.

I ended up trying out Order of Battle this weekend. I've had it in my Steam library for ages and just never got around to it. Gave it a go on Friday and (despite my current burn out of all things WWII) I've been completely hooked all weekend.

Hope everyone else was able to enjoy their weekend!

Had a very busy weekend and today is the first schoold day of my second son. I barely had time to play but managed to play some Aggressors: Ancient Rome, playing as Carthage....my 3d attempt.
