Title: FRIDAY Bells
Post by: Pete Dero on December 23, 2022, 01:27:27 PM


Shadow Empire and maybe Grand Tactician - The Civil War


Have a great weekend and, for those in the US, stay warm !

Knights of Honor 2 for more punishment, and some Age of Empire II and IV to feel better about myself. Maybe with a smattering of 1212AD for Attila TW.

Knights of Honor 2 and then some Interstellar Space Genesis and most likely some Stronghold Warlords.

Merry Xmas and have a great weekend.

Since I just bought them, I guess I'll be checking out Wartales and Wings of Glory.

I'll also be reloading all of my D&D minis into Miniature Assistant.  This will take a while, but I look forward to getting back into the minis game again.

I have been playing Fallout 3 GOTY on Game Pass. Plus I have The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt complete. (New Update).

But other than that I don't really know.

^Those two are more than enough to last you for months. I envy what you are about to discover :)

Still be-bopping around Division land - 1 and 2, natch - and eyeing up the Matrix catalog now that my coupon has showed up.

Merry Criminus, my droogs.

WAR OF RIGHTS (50% off this realistic american civil war FPS shooter).
DCSat some point. I got the BS3 upgrade.
Command Modern Operations Probably this at some point
Nebulous Fleet Command I want to like this and really love the features. But the maps and interface are hard to take. I will try again because it is enjoyable, but I usually end up watching the battles more than interacting with them... because it's a pain to use the interface. I still have a lot to learn about what kills what and in how long a time period etc. This game feels like work... but I cannot resist, because it has the features I want.
WARNO\COH2\Steel Division 2 or some other RTS.

If I recall, you play sports games as well....make sure to check out Football Coach: College Dynasty, nice sim about college football and only $12 (not on sale but still cheap).  It doesn't cover everything about college football yet, but a solid base to start with in first access.

Thanks Grim.  I was looking at that a bit.  Does it compare to Draft Day Sports College Football?

Same concept, but lighter.  It currently is missing some of the depth such as positions are more grouped (i.e. offensive line not specific), limited options while actually playing a game, etc.  But the core mechanics are interesting and in some ways more intuitive.  If you require things to be near 100% identical to college, might not be right for you yet, but for $12 I think you would still enjoy...worst case, could refund it:)

My Steam Deck came in early yesterday so I've been playing games on the handheld ever since.  Mostly Vampire Survivors, Duke Nukem 3D, and Lego Star Wars.  I'll have full thoughts to post sooner or later, but I'm loving the Deck so far - a thousand times better than the Switch by a long, long shot.

War of Rights

Vampire Survivors

American Truck Simulator

As a result of getting blasted by sub zero temps from the arctic cold front, the plan is to stay indoors all weekend. Lots of games will be hitting the table with the girlfriend. Wingspan is her favorite. Holiday food, beer, and vodka have been procured. Reinforcements of warm blankets have been deployed along the domestic front.

Someone on one my discord channels was raving about the Deck. He stated, and I quote, "Steam Deck is THE SHIT folks." I love Vampire Survivors. It's stupid addicting. With the new DLC Legacy of the Moonspell and the latest patches, it has its hooks in me even deeper.

Stay safe grogs.

I'll watch some YouTubes on it and see if it scratches the itch.  Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm stuck at home with avoiding-post-COVID syndrome. ;) (Been helping out Mom, who had a relatively light dose of it this week.)

I was expecting a "Carol of..." variant instead of a "Jingle..." variant. Not that I'm disappointed! But for purposes of fulfilling my expectations:

Grandfather of epic Bell Carol adaptations:




Slower somewhat different arrangement (repeated for an hour)


A much more light-hearted epic version, guest starring James Brown:


Imperial March vs Mandalorian version:


Lo-fi version of the previous, for when it's time to get back to work:
