Looks like we made it through another week. Now, any large chunks of time we have that we aren't doing chores or cleaning up after the kids can be devoted to our own passions. (No, the Mrs. STILL has a headache). I will have some Civ IV BTS solo and MP. After that? Time will tell.
Playing around with TW:R2, since I won't be getting serious with it until I have the money to upgrade graphics in a couple of weeks. Also Dom 4 if released tomorrow as scheduled. If not, back to Civil War II
it was going to be Rome II, a look at Command and getting back to HOI AAR but im summoned to Prague
so im confined to reading what all your exploits will be whilst playing Football Manager Handheld - back with a vengeance next week though
Will try to make my rounds on these, but as usual will only get to about half.
Dominions 4 - Have started trying to learn and so far I like it a lot better than 3 (of the limited time I tried it.)
Endless Space - Just finished a game (stopped at the end as I would have won) and now I believe I will try a new race and start another game.
Euro Truck Sim II - Will do a quick run
FSX - Start prepping for my around the world flight
And the usual of...... a little of CK II and EU IV... new campaigns for both.... who know... have plenty more to look at.

Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. Maybe a little
Birth of the Federation or
Armada 2526 Supernova if I have any energy left.

How are you enjoying FE? I feel a fantasy mood (get your minds out of the gutter) coming on and it's between Dom 4 and FE.
In the meantime, I will be playing COMMAND, ROME 2, and CIVIL WAR 2
I'm still waiting to hear some impressions of Civil War 2 from the Grogs. I just started the Troina campaign in CMFI. I look forward to playing as the Big Red One and hope the Germans don't leave me a Big Red Smear on the Sicilian landscape. And in Rome 2, I plan to leave red smears where the Ligurian Speed- Bumps over the Alps used to be.

Bearing in mind that I've not played LH anywhere near as much as I should've by now (
Bison would be a better one to ask), I like it very well so far.
I don't know how it compares to vanilla FE -- much less the original
Elemental -- as I've never played them. However, if you're looking for Civ set in a fantasy world, you could do a lot worse than pick up
Legendary Heroes.
I'm going to fire up War of the Vikings.
Will spend some time deciphering Command: Nava/Air Ops.
Any time left over will go to Command Ops' new expansion.
Oh, and I have an invite to learn Dust: Tactics (boardgame) tonight. Will see if I can squeeze that in.
Have a little bit of a vacation...off today and next Monday/Tuesday. In that time will be soldiering on in Rome II.
Saturday/Sunday will be dedicated to The Wife, celebrating our anniversary [5 weeks late] in Lake Placid, NY.
Married 11 years, together for 17!
Congrats Gus (I've been married 20 and together 25 - trust me - I don't know how she's managed it!)
I haven't played Rome II since I got it - I was reading all the issues and took a step back...then haven't gone back to it yet.
I will be playing a bit of Command:Modern Air/Naval Operations - maybe take my fight in The Falklands further than launching my Harriers. I still just feel like I'm fighting the interface at times and it has sucked enjoyment out of it for me...so please Dimitris hurry up with the patch.
I'll likely do a flight in Air Hauler to get my rep up and more Bioshock:Infinite (which I restarted because I was playing it without taking in the story)
I didn't get any of my Challenger II done last week, so I hope to get some done this weekend.
I'm trying to resist the pull of F1:2013. I promised myself I wouldn't buy it so didn't when it was going cheap...now the draw is more powerful even though it's a full £40!
More Command: Naval / Air Ops. Got a lot of work done on my first RSR inspired scenario last night. Two F-14 squadrons with OECM support provided by Prowlers vs 2 squadrons of MIG-29's based on Iceland. I wish the database viewer said when a particular weapon came into service. Had to do a lot of google searching to make sure I was using the right variant of the sidewinder and sparrow missiles. I know it would be a ton of work, but it would make things a little easier.
Any time not spent with Command will probably be spent with either Xenonauts or EUIV with the new patch.

heh, sorry about that - quick jaunt for a medical conference then back to see what consequences Rome declaring war on my my fledgling Carthage nation has...... theyd never even met me, i assume as Nef suggested a Rome declaration is hardcoded - we'll se what happens
Judge Dredd don't believe the negative hype on Rome II...just try it. Sure it has its issues but what doesn't?
First of all:
Congrats Gus on your 11th Wedding Anniversary!
Second:
Judge I highly recommend Rome II. I joined the party late and did not go through any problems the way many did on day one. If you're waiting for a good price on the game I can understand that however so was I. I bought the game at full price on a silly little whim and I have not regretted it at all. :)
Third:
Judge this one is for you as well. I have F1: 2012 and I'm horrible at it. I can't seem to stop my cars from spinning violently out of control in corners. It's either that or I jam on the breaks and cut real hard and the car keeps going straight right into a wall. If I can overcome this I might be able to get back into the game again. I play with manual transmission and no assists of any kind. Should I tone it down at the risk of giving up a little manliness?
Thanks W8! Agree with you on Rome II...Judge if price is an issue Green Man may be offering it for 20%-30% off again at some point the way they did regularlly with pre-orders.
Internal struggle with myself over whether to buy Civil War II or Espana 1936.
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Gus.
Thanks JH. The idea of Espana 1936 fascinates me but I really should work through some gaming backlog first...
Gus - I have Rome II - pre-ordered it. I started the game - not a campaign, but those 3 missions.
On the first one I noticed the AI doing exactly what the guy on the funny video showed - units running around kind of headless. They had plenty of units - just no attack. In the second part of "whatever that was" (tutorials? can't remember the specific name) I noticed the AI attacking but not in a good way - going for those damned capture points and directly for them. Have they got rid of them? Or enhanced them in any way?
I think something else came up and I moved onto something shiny new. I kept my eye on the Rome II thread for a while but then kind of lost interest.
Of course, I always intended to go back to it, but Civil War 2, FTX Global, Command...
Maybe one day...maybe soon.
W8 - I have to be honest, I gave F1 2012 all but a cursory glance because it ran like a dog on my system. I do know in F1 2011 I didn't experience that and I run will all assists off. Maybe try lowering your spring rate? I do know in F1 they removed the traction control - so if you do give too many revs when you have least traction (in a corner) then it's gonna spin.
Ultimately though, if it's causing you to not enjoy it, stick on Traction Control. If something was keeping me from playing the game and it had a workaround built in, I think I'd use it so I could play. Sod manliness!

^Ah ok...when you do come back, beware the patches.
Ah! The week-end. Okay, and I admit it: I thought Rome II was going to be great and I didn't like the tutorials, but my first few turns as Easy Pontus convinced me it was much better than even I expected. I've had some great battles with the AI as in they did well and I still beat them (or so it seems to me-- I do spend a lot of time in cinematic mode).
So...RomeII (as Rome, very satisfying. Those Romans can chew through some barbarians)
ARMAIII...still exploring Altis via small editorial battles
Flying Colors -- more work on fiddling with the rules
Take on Mars -- more trying to figure out how not to break the robot mast or arm things

Congratulations to the Gus'es on 11. My wife and I just had our 16th. Together... with each other I mean. Anyway, Judge I learned more about Rome 2 from just starting a campaign on easy that playing the tutorial. And after a month, I'm still learning things almost every time I play... buildings, economy, how to get better units and weapons. I wish the characters lived longer and could develop more.

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Gus.
I've been enjoying
Civil War 2 quite a bit the last few days. While the look of the interface isn't as pretty, it has a little extra user-friendliness, minus the ROE buttons being moved into their own slideout :( .
I've only played some of the smaller scenarios; in the middle of the Western Campaign right now. Overall it's definitely an improvement on the original.
Judge I mean beware the patches for Rome II as they may nerf the game to run less than adequately. Beyond that I agree with Slash and the others that the game offers a lot for the brain to absorb. Lots of cool features and tidbits.
Interesting the wide variety of games Grogheads are into; everything from Torchlight 2 to Civ War 2, from Xenonauts to Command: Naval/Air Ops. I've been around from the start of PC gaming and feel we are truly in another golden age.
^ I definitely agree with you there. Sometimes games are the great big shining star of my day.
Mostly going to be playing with this:

Adds in research so you can get some cool toys and sell them fer cash.
You can now use the Super Cobras as air support while fighting on the ground. Each one you have can be called in and will blast away for about 30 seconds. Great crowd control.
Each marine can carry up to 3 weapons. Only stuff you pick up during a mission though.
You can now toggle marines to not have anyone follow them... very handy!
Advisors have new options about what they can help with. You can also cross post advisors to positions other than their expertise.
Train private military personal for big money, like more than $100,000,000!
You can now name your Ark and all your marines if you want.
Plus some other stuff...
Still crashes on my iPad2 if there is anything else in memory, or I play for a really long time.
There's a b'day party i am invited to tomorrow night so not much time for playing. I'll take my tablet with me so i will be playing some Populus Romanus.
I may also continue my Master of Orion game with the Klackons (netbook).
Other than that, Armada 2526 Supernova pbem.
Thanks for the tips about F1. I think you're right. Playing games is about having fun so if I have to sod manliness to do so then so be it! I'll fire the game up over the weekend and have another go at it.
I'll echo what Slash said about skipping the prologue and jumping into the game. I got frustrated with the first mission within minutes of playing it and decided I would skip the prologue all together. Playing the campaign is the best way to learn provided of course you pay attention to all the little tid bits that Gus mentions. Take me for example. I spent a good hour and a half on turn one of my campaign in order to soak all the screens and info in. The game is actually well laid out and the cause and affects of the various parameters make and follow logical sense.
My gaming to do list this weekend:
GTA V
Rome II
F1 2012
SEIV (Thanks to Martok for his post in the sales thread and thanks to Huw for his opionon on the game!)
Diablo III
Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition (picked this up for $0.99 on XBOXLIVE, quirkly little fist fighting game!
Did I read that right on Steam? Balders Gate HD for 5 bucks????
Yes you did Windy. The consensus seemed to be that buying the originals off of gog are a better option.
Happy Anniversary Gus!
I'll be building a new computer desk and book shelf this weekend. I measured it out so that my Lazy Boy will fit very nicely reclined under the desk.
Games....Rome II and some either Panzer or ASL at some point this weekend.
Fitting a lazy-boy in the reclined position under your computer desk? Man you're my new hero. I've fallen asleep at the wheel in my standard upright office chair and woken up with a stiff neck and back while my pixel empire was destroyed. With a lazy-boy setup at least I wouldn't have a stiff neck or back.

If you have never played the original before then I would recommend the newer enchanced...it looks a lot better, has some minimal added content and npc's that can join your party, and best of all, you can scroll out for a more higher, extended view. If you have played the original then then new one isn't all that much different, even with the added content..
I was really excited about the HD version but the lack of support and numerous reported bugs scared me off.
^Me too.

My goal is to make my man corner a man sanctuary as much as possible. Apparently I cannot afford nor am I allowed to have a few cabana girls to serve me in my corner.
Cabana girls are overrated without accompanying bottle service and a nice cobb salad.
But wouldn't they have to brush the potato chip crumbs off of my shirt wearing a bikini? I mean that is what I really need.
Hmm you have a point there. But still...a cobb salad. Come on.
I'm playing 'Desert Heat' and its pretty good so far. Played scenario 1 twice and just finished scenario 2.
I really must make an effort and so some AAR's at some point.
...pity I'm such an idle git.......

For me, minimal time for gaming this weekend, but with what time I have, likely more sports oriented.
ActionPC Hockey - with the hockey season underway, have the itch to play
ActionPC Golf - new 2013 golf season came out yesterday...might get some time in with that
Second and Ten Football - continuing to play and enjoy the latest version
And with the continued talk of Civil War 2, still considering that one....
Civ 5 BNW playing Poland. Also I picked up the discounted pack of all the King's Bounty games on Steam and started with Legends.
How is the Polish Civ?
A buddy is hosting an impromptu board game day on Sunday, so that cuts into the video gaming time. And since I've been in a bit of a funk with regards to wanting to play anything, I have no idea what the Hell I'll end up loading up.

I have found that, for me, the perfect way to enjoy F1: 2012 is to have manual braking but automatic transmission. I've done it with manual transmission as well, but not having to fiddle with guessing which gear to get into is more "fun" at the sacrifice of a bit of realism.
Congrats to the Gus's! Enjoy the vacation and the attention ;) I saw the thread for Warlock 2 and may fire up the original while waiting for more info. I haven't looked at the trailer yet. Probably shouldn't.

This is my second game with Poland. I really like all the extra Social Policies and the Winged Hussar as the unique unit.
I am situated between Shaka and Montezuma and have been under constant attack. It wasn't until I got the Hussar that I've been able to drive them off for good. Shaka is now finished and Monty is wounded. It really is a very mobile and powerful unit, and with its "drive back" ability, the best blitzing unit in the game, IMO. When it becomes available, that is Poland's chance to dominate.
I've been meaning to tell you, I love that avatar Rizik.

That sounds like a good idea which takes Judge's suggestion a little bit further. Although automatic is not as fun to drive as manual I have noticed my problems going into the turns seem to be deciding when and how hard to brake as well as how many times to downshift. If I've managed to make the turn I then usually blow it coming out of the apex by punching the gas too strong too early causing the car to spin.
Continuing a game of Warlock. I forgot how much fun it was! If anyone is interested it's only $6.24 for the ultimate edition on Steam for another day or two.

If you are spinning under breaking going into a turn (either on the straight or at the beginning of the turn) then perhaps move brake bias to the front. I think softening rear springs might help too.
I have to be honest, with rFactor 2 I simply don't see the point in F1 anymore. It looks better than rFactor 2 imo - but for me racing sims are all about the feel - and rFactor 2 is hard to beat in that department - imo.

Gonna have to pick a scenery set soon, since I do put the FSX time in.. Thinking GEX, cause the price tag ain't as steep, and I could be happy just flying in NA for now.
Also some PBEM turns in CMBN with Con.
There is no way on God's green earth that those spots are food stains...enough with the charade. I do like the carpet though, it's gamey looking, like a board game or Tetris.

Just because you guys have spluge apparently running amok on your man chairs doesn't mean everyone does. H6 confirmed that one of the stains is a dried Chipotle hot sauce, which lead to a talking too about needing to clean up after myself.
The bottom line is that I am and will continue to work on the Bison Command Center, i.e. my man corner, and turn it into something awesome.
I need blueprints and a materials list.
Renovations on Chalet de Gus begin this month and I will hopefully have a new mahogany lined, brandy scented man cave by February.
Without questionable stains, btw.

Some have. I've just not got around to it for a few reasons. One being my intake of new titles outpacing the rate at which I play them.

Renovations on Chalet de Gus begin this month and I will hopefully have a new mahogany lined, brandy scented man cave by February.
Mahogany is too rich for my blood.
Mine too but I love Anchorman.
A man cave without questionable stains is incomplete.

+1 and I might take that further and say that no other man should question a mans man cave and the contents therein - that's what his wife is for and he gets enough of it from her!! ;D
Agree totally with the Judge. A perfectly kept Man-Cave is an un-used Man-Cave.
Hey I have some...stuff...on my ManChair that is...odd....but I won't be posting photo evidence of it.

Gus Freud would have a hay day analyzing you my friend. /sigh/

I almost dread to ask this, but, on what part of the chair is this...odd....stain located? Having asked that, if its on the component on which you park your arse, we deffo do NOT want any more details..........
It's not fecal if that's what you're alluding to, Sir.
It's on the chair arm no where near any questionable body part excretions. It is very susceptible to food and drink stains however. Well unless you are a dog who humps the furniture in which case all bets are off. Grog on mo'fos! The BCC is fully operational.
Overstuffed chairs can be particularly...stimulating.
Tsk!
See here we have a classic example of projection. You project your fantasies onto others. In this case, innocent old Bison who was merely sharing a photo of the Bison Command Center (BCC).
I am not an animal!
In other words, maintaining proud old Grog traditions?
Or is that....old proud Grog traditions?........whatever.
Jeez - lookit the time.....I'm off to bed. Goodnight guys.

I learned it by watching Bawb.
We should have taken judges advice it is not for us to criticise another's cave.... who knew we would cross into Gus fkng his furniture....mind you I should have known with you lot
The chair was asking for it, dressed all saucily with those doily arm covers...
I have a grand daughter to blame my stains on. Also spilt cereal, dirt on the floor, mis-placed TV remotes, and assorted candies left laying about. Too early to the whole toilet seat on her yet. I love it when she comes over. ;)

I've seen some of his recent & more distant past girlfriends on his FB page ... nothing wrong with his eyesight . . . yet. Maybe its a coordination thing?
Random forum act: Keep this thread alive until Friday. Let's try to get overlapping what are you playing Friday threads!
I played some more Rome 2 last night with the beta 4 patch and have not had any game freezes even though I still have 'use system memory' checked under the advanced graphic options.
Zeno Clash Ultimate Edition continues to soak up my evenings as well.

Wait...keeping a forum here on topic? Seriously? ;)
I've been going between Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock. That's me - I stay on the forefront of gaming. I finally have tonight off and I intend to get some gaming in. I've got a stage show that starts this week with Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, so there won't be much gaming for me this weekend. :(
I've finally had the chance to sit down and play a fair bit of Legendary Heroes the last day or two.
It's still fun. And I'm still making it my mission to destroy whatever arachnid-type monsters/armies are out there. ;D
I've just about finished what the Japanese do best in CiV5; dominate the world when the samurai show up in the production menu....
I had a quick go at the new Space Hulk campaign and got wiped - there are a lot of 'stealers and its a big map. Will need to work on this one.
I've got a Civ V game going as Indonesia. I set it for "small continents" so I could get by 3 bonus cities set up on other continents for their unique luxuries, and it turns out I'm on a pole-to-pole mega-continent with 2 small ithsmus chokepoints connecting much of it. The rest of the continents are small, just not the one it started me on. Derrrrrr....

You know if the Japanese could create a Godzilla unit to face off against the giant robots that would be freaking awesome.

there is probably a mod somewhere...
I would be shocked if there wasn't. Some party pooper has a mod out there that actually takes the giant robots out, if that's your bag.
chipping away at Rome, need a big sit down with it
Italys HOI 3 battle with Hungary isnt as easy as i assumed
Still standing at the foot of Mount Start Command and its tutorials - sometimes jumping in at the start no matter how bugged is still the best option, feel so behind now
