Title: Ask the Friday
Post by: Anguille on December 09, 2022, 03:54:37 AM
A great but underrated Scottish band from the 80's. Their first album is still one of my favourites. Ask the Lord is a superb song.



I'll be playing mostly Knights of Honor 2 and Interstellar Space Genesis. Also watching the World Cup.

Have a good weekend.

^ Never heard Hipsway before.  Sounded like Deacon Blue (same country & same time) to me.

More Shadow Empire for me.

Have a nice weekend.

Never heard of that band before but that is a good song.  Thanks for sharing.

I'll be playing Knights of Honor 2, Heroes & Generals, and some World Conqueror IV on my Android.  I may even fire up the original Knights of Honor to compare it to the new game that just came out this week.

Have a great weekend all.

  Maybe some Command Modern, probably some Hell Let Loose definitely some Unity of Command II and boardgames.

We're going into NYC this weekend to see the Rockettes Christmas spectacular, FAO Schwartz and the tree, but might be able to fit some gaming in on Sunday. I'm really in game overload. Between KoH2, Ixion, WH40K Rogue Trader and Darktide and Wartales, I'm a bit on game overload! Sort of like a deer in the headlights.

On my Ubisoft rip currently, so hello Division!  Slap on the Yuletide sweater and Santa cap and blast some Cleaners, yo!  Division 2 is a hot mess for me as it is crash city and I'm unsure if it's my machine (which ran it just fine last time I had it loaded up) or whatever current build is up but I'm hopeful to get it fixed.

Gonna apply the "Spartan," mod for GR:Breakpoint and see how that runs too.

Modiphius has lost the Conan license, so gonna sprint over to DriveThru and start loading up on the pdfs while I'm at it.

Crom!

I tried last night, but I have a really annoying problem with the console box that keeps popping in and out at the top of the screen. I'm assuming it is being caused by a conflict with one of my peripheral devices. I posted about it in the forums. Hopefully a developer will respond. It would still be playable, but quite irritating.

I was hoping for frost punk in space and was quite keen but the reviews have nose dived overnight from 98% after 500 to 60%

Yeah...I'm concerned about that too. Although, I did watch a few let's plays and initial impressions from some guys I trust and their opinions were very favorable. I'm not sure why the reviews on steam have taken such a plunge. If it's due to technical issues, those can always be fixed...but if it has to do with gameplay, that is a much larger problem.

Good luck in NYC JH, all of your USMC skills will be tested.

I will definitely be diving further into KoH2, Assassin's Creed: Revelations and perhaps start a 1212AD campaign in Attila Total War. Maybe some Age of Empire II as well.

Last time we went in for Christmas, I brought one of my pocket knives, not thinking that they would wand me when entering Radio City Music Hall. They found the knife and wouldn't let me in with it and of course had no security check where I could keep it. They actually suggested that I just throw it out onto the street! Well, it was a $200 knife and I wasn't just going to throw it away so i went behind the checkpoint and just threw it down in the corner hoping maybe, by some miracle, it would still be there when I got out of the show. These idiots saw me throw it there and would you believe it was still there after the show!?  Thank God. I love that knife. It would have ruined the entire experience for me. lol

^I would expect nothing less from you, Radio City or New York. Actually a little surprised/disappointed it was just a knife.

Bring a firearm into NYC and its a mandatory three year prison sentence. No mitigating factors.

EDIT: Unless you're actually a criminal. Then they just let you back out onto the street. No bail.

That's a great song, I've never heard of Hipsway as well. I'll be continuing some Fallout 4 action, along with getting into the time trap of the new Dwarf Fortress. I'm hoping to also play more Imperiums as well. Like you all my games list is larger then the actual time I have to spend. I'm hoping that I will have more time this weekend since we are finished decorating for the holidays. Whoosh! That took, what seemed, forever to do!  :uglystupid2:

Hope you all have a great weekend!

I'm up to my eyeballs in Christmas stuff this weekend but maybe some time for something simple like Medi TW 2 with Stainless Steel or my old friend, Baldur's Gate 2. Have a great weekend Grogs.  :bd:

That one's easy!  Just bring along a Russian BTG and feed them to the kill-bots until they reach their predetermined kill limit and shut down.   O0

Catch up on my PBEM turns, haven't had much time this week. Recently started another Hell, Flashpoint Campaigns 1, and Battle Sector pbem scenarios. Still on turn 18 for the Valor/Victory 25 turn Market Garden scenario, the Brits perimeter is down to around 2 blocks now. Still haven't figured out how to fire the piats, which won't be a problem very soon as all but one are KIA.

For SP gaming I'll be jumping back into the new Flashpoint Campaigns again, was kind of waiting for the SOP bug to be fixed. New patch released to today. Probably going to get in some 7 Days To Die, been a few months and now Darkness Falls an overhaul mod for 7DTD just released a massive patch a few days ago. DF is my favorite overhaul mod for 7DTD.

Happy Gaming everyone.
