Title: Friday lift me
Post by: Anguille on October 28, 2022, 02:58:54 AM
One of my all time favorite singers...an amazing voice. Such a shame she hasn't released anything new since 2002.



Not sure what i'll play this weekend. Maybe a little of Stronghold Warlords (japanese campaign).

Happy Weekend

Sadly, we're going on a little weekend trip so I'll be away from my rigs. It's frustrating too because I have a lot of new stuff I want to play with.

Victoria 3, SGS Korean War, still working through Modern Warfare 2 and big version 2.8 patch for DCS is supposed to drop today. Dynamic weather!

House stuff is looming on my horizon (finishing walk-in-closet renovation, etc.) so little to no "fun," is going to happen.

But, if possible, maybe I'll sneak in a few rounds of Killing Floor 2!

Post impressions of the Stronghold: Warlords Japanese campaign Anguille!

I just started Roadwarden, an 'animated text adventure' with a dash of subtle menace. A light RPG. I think many of you would love it. And the soundtrack is great.

When I'm not fighting the red and yellow paratroopers in my yard I'll be playing Shadow Empire.

DCS World - I still sux even against AI on the servers. Getting on average a 1:1 kill ratio on PVE multiplayer. Because I am learning to TWS crank. Usually against a fair few enemies with a wing man that knows even less lol
WARNO - They announced two new free sides for early access. Battle of Berlin sides.
AOEIV - New sides. The Malians are pretty interesting.

And some occasional Ultima 7 with exult mod.

MJ....speaking of boardgames, I'm getting deeply into a solitaire game Warfighter WW2 by DVG.  It's quite challenging yet fun.

SINS II SINS II SINS II

So far an interesting mix of holdover assets from Sins 1 (it's an early test alpha) and really snazzy new stuff.

The sinsII pre-order is playable right now? Can you give us a detailed impression pretty please, if you feel you want to and should? I'd love to know whether it has a tonne of new features or is a reskin with some of their old beta ideas they did not impliment activated. I seem to remember way back they said no to spinning things because they found it too complicated and confusing for players for instance. Also remember they said that 4x is supposed to be amplified. How far did they go?

I'm playing it solo - its a game I have set up at present & visit a few times a week, seems ideally suited to this as the rules (once learned) are quite simple & the ebb & flow of the game is quite easy to pick up again after a gap in play - its all map/unit focussed so you can quickly re-acquire the situation.

This. It's way too early. It's more of a test environment or a mod for Sins 1 so far, almost. I also haven't had time to really dig into it yet.

Aw yeah... I'm ready for the weekend.  8)  Aside from watching the absolute peak of cinema, I'll also be playing Vicky 3 and hopefully wrapping up the Steam upload for War of a Madman's Making.

^ You just saved everyone $10 on Amazon!

But really though, there's an elite few So Bad It's Good films that I feel are genuinely worth owning, if you dig that kind of thing.  Troll 2 and Megaforce are also in that category, but I don't know if Megaforce is readily available for Bluray/DVD.
Title: Re: Friday lift me
Post by: Gusington on October 29, 2022, 07:55:02 PM
^ I think Megaforce is available on YouTube chopped into like 10 segments or something.

I just finished The Room.  Once I'm through with Samurai Cop, I'm pretty sure my brain will be fried to the point of being unable to use complex things like The You Tubes.

Thanks anyways. Those couple of extra words have told me a bit already. It's going to be just like back in the old days having another Sins and Homeworld game around being played at the same time.
