From Paul Simon's "The Concert in Hyde Park" 


Me? BoC work.  Fight Club work.  CMO work (doing some database stuff).  Flashpoint Campaign Pro work.  Writing an entry on my "Rule the Waves" AAR.  Starting to write the AAR on my current game with Nelmsm in WarPlan.

Edit: The video link doesnt' appear to work.  Try this: https://youtu.be/_K5qIA1IVIA?t=24

Love Paul Simon. Gus Trivia: my grandfather was a seltzer/soda guy in Brooklyn and Queens in the 1950s and 1960s and he used to deliver drinks to 'the hippies' Simon and Garfunkel when they were just starting out.

This weekend will hopefully feature Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Cataclismo and Diablo IV.

I presume you mean with 0.50 cal rounds and not your P-47 itself?  I only ask because collisions are not uncommon in the MP arena

Still dabbling in Wot/WoWs and enjoying 7D2D (fessing up here: am cheating like hell with this iteration of the game - slotted in the good weapons and gear and am just in it for the base building-zombie killing aspect rather than the "survival," stuff).  Nothing fancy in other words.

Got yardwork and another goddam water leak thanks to the type of water line put in years ago (black roll/black pipe...?  Fancy garden hose that has reached its end of life era now), so there's that.

Stay hydrated folks as summer ain't done yet.

Xcom2 longwar2 - I have liberated India and west Asia, my starting region - east Asia is in the liberation cycle - I have crossed the sea into America where the black site is located and the mysterious event story is based in Mexico and I'll be heading there

Have discovered warden armour which is a skin tight protective mesh - some very interesting character models for it!

Everyone is using magnetic weapons and I'm just stepping up to coil guns

Cmo and workers and resources and aurora and terra invicta are on the list but I'm hooked on xcom right now

Nono, with the gun. Didn't bring it down before running out, though.

Company of Heroes 3 has a special event on with a lot of merit points up for grabs. Having fun completing that.
A friend just got back from America so sins2 might be on the cards as well.
Probably Ultimate General American Revolution which I have still been enjoying even though with regard to battles especially it has not been as engaging as it could be. Needs bigger unit sizes and maps I think.

Rediscovering "Boat Crew" after a sizeable update.

Sure its arcady but there is a nice strategic layer, and enough realism to keep me interested.

Also playing around with "Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria". Advertised as a crafting / survival game. So far, not bad.

This is the first weekend I've had in a while, where the wife didn't have something for me to do.

So I am also making a trip to "Andy's Hobby Headquarters" the only real plastic model store I've found in the Phoenix metro area.

Andy seems to be a biggish wheel in the hobby. He has his own successful YouTube channel and his own line of 1/16 scale tanks.

I also rediscovered plastic models. My second victim will be a 1/32 Tornado IDS.

Shadow Empiring. Might tear loose to try Soase2 or Dreadnoughts.
