Title: SomeFriday
Post by: Anguille on June 23, 2023, 03:27:08 AM
One of the greatest synth groups of the 80's. It was this or Oh l'amour.


Intend to pursue my Master of Orion CtS campaign with the Darloks, some Stellaris (thinking about downloading the Star Trek mode) and other games.

Have a great weekend

There is a problem with the YT link.  Use the 'Insert a youtube video' command and you get this :



Just some Combat Mission for me.


Enjoy the weekend.

Music from my ill spent youth is always welcome  :ThumbsUp:

Have a few PBEM games underway of John Tiller's operational level games (East Prussia 14 and Serbia 14) and am looking to maybe try out one of the monster campaigns like the full 351 turn Operation Husky in Sicily 43 for the first time.

Any PBEM Panzer Campaigns or First World War campaign gamers out there send me a PM or email if interested.

Have fallen in love with the system all over again.

Great weekend to all.

Always loved Erasure.  Good choice.

Well I'm continuing on with my playthrough of Emperor of the Faded Suns as the Hazat.  I've got three planets firmly under my control and looking at taking on House Hawkwood.  I can't seem to stop from playing once I start a session.

I'll also be playing a bit of Bladestorm: Nightmare on PS4.  Mindless fun!

Finally I'll be continuing on with the "Overlord" mod for Civ III: Conquests.

A little bit of B17 Flying Fortress Leader for me I feel, a strangely relaxing game.

Not sure; last weekend was dealing with a pet that was in a terminal way and yard is really needing some attention.  In the mood for something shooty and non-thinky so I've plenty of games in the library that covers this sort of thing.

Hold your pets close, folks.

Oh man that hurts.  I'm sorry about your pet.  Only pet owners understand the pain.

I recall my very first girlfriend doing some kind of group dance with about 20 of her friends to Oh L'Amour around 1991 or so and I was hypnotized. Been a huge Erasure fan since then  :cool:

No gaming for me this weekend as I am trying to survive college visits in Pittsburgh with The Family.

Thank you, W8taminute.

She was the oldest and longest lived of the bunch and was THE dog the kids had as a reference point growing up, not to mention being the chillest pack leader type to usher through the dozen or so foster dogs we've had come through our home.  Going to be a impossible act to follow and one that I'd'ved honest-to-God have cloned in perpetuity (but that'd be selfish of me, I know).

p.s. And thanks to everyone else who chimes in on this, too.  Appreciates that about you all.

Writing scenarios for some of my older titles like Destroyer Command, 1914: Shells of Fury, JT's Campaign 1776, CMs . I'm not really into modding graphics  as much as I am testing  "what-if" scenarios and gameplay.

"last weekend was dealing with a pet that was in a terminal way"

Sympathies.  I remember putting down the dog that my kiddos grew up with.
Really hard.

 I haven't played much on the computer lately and I'll be on vacation until late July.  You won't have me to kick around
for a while.
