Title: Friday Like I Used to
Post by: Dammit Carl! on February 10, 2023, 09:31:17 AM

Big, sweeping songs like this remind me of Roy Orbison's stuff, and I'm a lover of Americana artists, so...

Anyways, probably will be working at least one day out of the coming weekend so to celebrate, I'll be diving into pukes in the curves in Wreckfest and literally driving the wheels off of things.  Love that damn game.

Stay safe, folks!

Great song - I also love Roy Orbison so the above is a no brainer for me.

Jumping into SpellForce - Conquest of Eo, ELDEN RING and God of War.

Hmmmm...Would like to squeeze in some time for DCS, but will be difficult with the distractions of the Broken Arrow and Great War demos. Maybe some more Second Front, Mech Warrior Mercenaries and Ready or Not...So much to play, such little time.

More Spellforce for me too.Just lost my last playthrough as the Alchemist after my economy collapsed and I got over ambitious with a couple of battles.

Back to Necromancy for me on "Normal" difficulty. I am finding things very addictive with this game.

^How long was that last playthrough for you?

JH do you have the new MechWarrior 'Rasalhague' DLC?

If the weather holds out I want to go for a nice ride on my new toy. Otherwise spending some quality time with Rimworld and Oxygen Not Included.

Also need to finish up my taxes.

Good song!

I'll be messing around with the Great War and Broken Arrow demos which will probably cause to me re-install WAR Air and Land or maybe War Red Dragon.

It's already Friday!?!? Wow how time flies!

The weather will be drop dead gorgeous in my neck of the woods so I will be out hiking. But when I'm not hiking I will be working on becoming a galactic ruler in Distant Worlds 2 (but it's usually me trying to find enough Caslon to fuel my empire  :Loser: )

In preparation for Kerbal 2 coming out at the end of this month I've been jumping back into that extremely fun game.

Finally I will be chilling out with some Cities Skylines or Farthest Frontier to relax.

Enjoy Grogheads!!!

If I can shake this sinus infection, get my daughter to a scheduled birthday party, prep for my daughter's birthday next weekend, and take care of my temporarily invalided wife, I play to squeeze in some Monster Train for sure and also hopefully get something more substantial in for maybe DW2 or Eador: New Horizons.  Something about that heavily modded (and still being updated) 2009 game just scratches my "4x-game-that-plays-like-chess" itch in a way no other title ever has!

About 3 hours I suppose before I crumbled :-)

I have about 12 hours in now. The new patch is also a nice improvement.

Second Front and Superbowl preparation which includes practice drinking and where the hell can I find cheap wings? That's for both by the way. Have a good, SUPER weekend Grogs!

Thanks Devon - I downloaded that Spellforce patch earlier but I am so early in my first run I doubt I will notice anything.

Yup. Haven't played too much with it. Starting a new career with it gives you a lot of tonnage to work with but the missions were pretty hard too.

Broken Arrow demo and some Regiments to compare.


Good music choice !   Check out First Aid Kit, you might like the similar sound  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC57z-oDPLs).

I'll be continuing my new game of Shadowrun Returns with my dwarf street samurai character. Hopefully there will be enough weekend left to dive into Second Front. I'll probably suffer another ass kicking from my girlfriend when Wingspan hits the table on Sunday.

Take it easy grogs!

First Aid Kit has become pretty popular here in semi-upstate New York.

Re: Upstate NY music stuffs

Mrs. said that Natalie Merchant's brother was weird and had a thing for knives.  Said that the Merchant's were weird in general.  Taking her word for it.

^I have a good buddy that won a contest to meet Natalie Merchant backstage many years ago and he claims she was a total c*nt  :2funny:

In the fantasy mood. Dominions 5 SP and MP for me. SP as EA Lanka and MP as LA C'tis. The reanimators are fun.
