From Chris Gaines's Greatest Hits album
I plan to play some
Imperium: Greek Wars to get warm for monday's release of the new DLC. Also some
Interstellar Space: Genesis.
Otherwise busy weekend: tonight local gig with the city's best rock band (Light Food), tomorrow afternoon soccer game of my eldest son, tomorrow night dance show of my eldest daughter and sunday morning soccer tournament of my youngest son....busy busy :-"
Have a great weekend
Have jumped back in to Assassin's Creed Valhalla and will be cracking open the Irish-themed Wrath of the Druids campaign.
May also fire up an 1100AD-modded game for Rome: Total War...fantastic mod with tons of recent updates and expansions.
And purchasing the Sublime Porte and Rise of the Swiss DLCs for Field of Glory II: Medieval.
Heroes & Generals for sure.
Messing around with Table Top Simulator and maybe playing some Civ 5 with the R.E.D. WW2 mod by Gedemon.
Mainly TTRPGing for me this weekend (Pathfinder 1e) but I'll probably play some Valor & Victory having just downloaded V&V versions of the original Squad Leader scenarios SL-1 – The Guards Counterattack SL-2 – The Tractor Works and SL-3 – The Streets of Stalingrad (download and info on the Matrix site here https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10157&t=387891 )

Never heard of this guy. And according to many sources this is Garth Brooks' alter ego ! ? The thunder rolled when I found this ;).
Getting back in to Steel Beasts with the latest patch 4.363.
I tried Gunner, Heat, PC! but Steel Beasts is superior in my opinion (and should be for the price tag :2funny:)

Sounds good! Me...boardgames 'n' Arma III and DCS.
^Which DCS?
^Hey, you can't do that!

:2funny:
Been on a wee bit of a pen-n-paper RPG buy as of late; picked up a couple of "Bundles," of DCC, Aces and Eights, and whatnot. Think it's time to pull the pdfs and give them a good read (DCC looks mucho funo) and ruminate. Believe a Gillespie megadungeon added to one of these things (DCC, C&C, L&L et al) could be an amusing romp.
Otherwise, I've been on a 7DtD binge and can indulge in my inner anti-zombie engineer in more ways than one, much to my surprise.
-roll for initiative, assholes, and have a good one!
My "All" DCS actually wasn't quite hyperbole. Since my girlfriend is out of town with her son for the weekend, I'm setting this aside to FINALLY get all my modules mapped with my full VPC set.
The joys of DCS spending hours and hours mapping just so you can finally play the game. Then you get a new controller.

I've been running various anti-shipping strikes around Cyprus. Even the SeaCat missile can shoot down planes if they get a little too close. Reportedly it shot down
Daggers in the Falklands, but more recent sources suggest something else shot those planes down or they had cases of controlled flight into terrain (checked an early
source -- no Daggers, but half-a-dozen A4Cs. DCS has always
rated SAMs pretty highly -- but still I'm surprised when a SeaCat hits a plane.
No surprise here:
No gaming for me. I got Anniversary-kind-of-things to do. Have a great one Grogs. O0
^Congrats to you and Madam Slash.

Yeah, it was done for a pre-soundtrack for a movie which unfortunatelny never happened. I think the idea was really fun and brilliant. But i guess it was too much to ask for the masses.
I do like this album a lot...
After spending the last few months playing Hex of Steel I just installed the latest patch for Old World and I'm going to get back to finishing the tutorials and trying a real game.
Thanks Gus. 25 Years now. And those are continuous years by the way. :coolsmiley: Any woman that'd put-up with me that long automatically qualifies for Sainthood.
^I too have been with my wife for 25 years (20 married). We're leaving for Iceland and Denmark next week for a couple of weeks to celebrate.
Age of Empires IV usually coop with friends - Just finished all the masteries for all factions. Now to wait for the two free factions.
il2 Sturmovik - just fired it up and my key mappings were gone, recent normandy patch may have taken them out? I got invited to some sort of tanks supported by aircraft event by a friend. Not really keen and now that my key mappings are gone even less keen. I always enjoy a drive in a tank though. Somehow relaxing. il2 though is a sideshow until a better tank sim with infantry and all the bells and whistles turns up. The tanks are very well done, just that the whole things is not a priority feature wise for the devs.
Nebulous Fleet Command - hopefully
Warno - hopefully. Devs just announced flares and ecm for helicopters, amphibious vehicle capabilities and FOBs coming back in some form. I really like how this game is shaping up.
Holdfast - Been enjoying the odd romp in ww1 and napoleonic times. It's a really good wind down. Shame that I have to play on high ping US servers. But so be it.

The patch where the ability to assign new mappings per plane buried my mappings in a global setting.
I'm not sure if they were properly assigned to my devices as I ended up deleting everything anyway and starting fresh with the new controller set.

Thanks Mr D. At least it was not just me. Sounds like I would have had to start from scratch anyways.
Chris Gaines is real :dreamer:

Chris Gaines is real :dreamer:
He really is Garth Brooks.
Behind the Life of Chris Gaines (1999) 11/24/1999 (US) Music, Documentary, TV Movie, Comedy 44m
To promote the release of his album Garth Brooks in... The Life of Chris Gaines, Garth Brooks appeared as Chris Gaines in a television "mockumentary," a version of VH1's seminal cable classic Behind the Music, featuring a totally made-up tale that just may be the greatest rock n' roll documentary ever made. This piece of art has everything that makes the story of being a rockstar fucking cool. It has childhood trauma, record label trauma, death, disfigurement, a plane crash, a car crash, sex addiction, redemption, a house fire, random unexplained commentary from Billy Joel, and more sex addiction.

It's not indeed. :)
But the movie the Lamb wasn't supposed to be a comedy i believe.
Anyway, i think the perception makes a huge difference. When i listen to this album, i hear a Chris Gaines album and it's a great album. I guess everyone listening here to a Garth Brooks album may be disappointed.

If I hadn't looked it up and just listened to the music, I never would have guessed Brooks was behind it.
And nothing is more brilliant and more funny than Spinal Tap when it comes to a mockumentary about artists \m/.
