Steve "Mad Russian" is coming in from out of town tonight and he's going to convince me that I'm going to love FC:RS and I'm hoping to get him to sit at the table for perhaps some Force on Force mini's or maybe even some Commands and Colors that I've been wanting to play as of late.  Sunday I'll get in some SoW Gettysburg/Antietam I'm sure and I have 2 levels to complete of Portal that I finally got around to messing with.

I've got my trigger finger on picking up Batman Origins this weekend but I've really spent a lot of money this week on games.  First priority this weekend for me will be punching counters out of their sheets and playing my first scenario in Conflict of Heroes:  Awakening the Bear 2nd edition rules.  This game looks good and it is the first board wargame I've purchased since I was 20 years old!!!  I'm totally psyched.  True wargaming for the w8tster.  Welcome back welcome back welcome baaaack...

Still trying to catch up on Lets Plays from when I was on vacation. Sometimes I feel I spend more time watching people plays games then playing them myself.

Skyrim: Spent most of the week setting up mods and running a few test games. The only thing left is to finish making a compatibility patch for Skyrim Redone and the Followers Can Craft mod. Then I'm off to add to my 580 hours of time played.

Command: Need to do some tweaks to my Keflavik Fighter Sweep scenario. Then its off to start my next scenario. Not sure if its going to be another RSR scenario or something different. Was thinking about having a lone US CVBG that's caught to far north with reinforcements a few days out vs the entire Soviet northern fleet.

FSX for sure.  I, too, am quite addicted to it lately.

And, I scored a player's copy of my grail game: Magic Realm at the FLGS today.  It's very used, so there are no excuses for not getting it on the table!

I'm also very strongly considering Steel Beasts finally.

Continue into Bioshock Infinite, which has been enjoyable so far.

And since my takings in the latest Canadian Math Trade on BGG have already started coming in, I may get some new board games out as well. Regardless of that, more Pathfinder Card Game goodness needs playing.

The Resurrection is the only one I've played so far (and I had originally played it a number of years ago when it first came out for the PS1), graphics are OK, not up to todays standards but atmospheric with some nice little cut scenes (the one with the Count's "Brides" comes to mind  ;) ), the gameplay is classic point and click adventure fare and there were no horribly illogical puzzles to solve, some needed a fair bit of thought or searching around for a particular item but there were never any of the irritating random combination of items to solve a puzzle types.

I got the trilogy at half price on GOG last weekend which would have been a fair enough price for just the first part and the current full price of $9.99 for three adventures still looks like good value.

Apparently from reviews part 2 is as good as part 1 and part 3 is the best of the bunch so from my initial experiences if you like classic point and click adventures and like the classic Dracula theme the trilogy should be fun.

Civ 5 BNW, as always it seems nowadays. Also Flashpoint and PzC on my Fire. I hope Tiller and company adds PBEM to the mobile version and also adds Squad Battles to mobile.

I just wandered in here and understand that someone owes me a beer?  Any chances I can get that now?  ;)

Civ IV MP BTS and possibly some CKII in NE Spain.  Anybody know when Warlock 2 comes out?

As far as I'm aware, its 'early' 2014.

I'm an FSX mess.

Did two good flights in the PMDG 737 but f you see kay teh stock ATC that comes with FSX.  I mean complete male cow excrement vectors to land.  Two go-arounds in a row and finally I just said fark it and did what I had to do.  It's frustrating, though, to fly a flight by the numbers and then have the AI barf inside the 10.

No other gaming than that, so far.

Unless MetalDog beats me to it!

Anyway - how will you be able to tell since my natural state of being is an 'incoherent mess'  ;)

Oh...I wish to amend my gaming list for the weekend.  I've been getting into a heavily patched and modded CLOD...and it is AMAZING!!!!

  Thanks to this post, I patched from TF 3 to TF 4.  Nice to have the fighter Blenheim as a flyable plane.  I've been sending it on secret missions to shoot down high-ranking Germanic types in Bf-108s over France during the morning rush.

Yesterday afternoon I tried to play "The Nap Game".  Unfortunately, I had a pair of add-ons - "Kid Who Keeps Talking" and "Dog With No Sense of Personal Space" that kept interrupting the processor whenever it would try to run "The Nap Game".  After about 3 hours of struggling with it, I finally gave up and closed all of them and put them on 'ignore' and got on with my day.

It's an XCOM weekend for me. Since Friday I've been playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This morning I installed and am playing The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. I will probably alternate between the two for the rest of the day and into the wee hours of the morning.

I played the "try not to flip my shit on my Chinese land-lady" game for Friday night and most of Saturday.  I got home from work at 8pm of Friday with plans to play Civ V.  Those were squashed when I hears, saw, and smelled water back-feeding up through my kitchen sink from the waste-water drain running down from my land-lady's place upstairs.  Thankfully it was only drainage from the kitchen and not the entire house.  Still pretty gross  I called her down to let her know what was going on and not to run her dishwasher or use the sink.  Then it was a couple hours of draining lines, pulling apart PVC fittings, snaking, and cleaning lines.  (I did find 5 chopsticks in the line.  Who the hell thinks jamming chopsticks down the drain is a good idea?)

I couldn't reach the blockage and it was already late, so I called it a night.  The land-lady agreed to call a plumber for Saturday morning but I knew from past experience that her notion of what constitutes the definition of a plumber is going to be radically different than mine.  Hell, I'm pretty sure she got some relative to plumb the building in the first place as there were a retardedly high number of needless 45 and 90 degree bends and nice, loooooong, horizontal runs where the stank-water could just sit and stagnate.

Anyway, I was right on the money as my land-lady finally showed up at around 10:30 am with a shitty 25 ft snake that she rented from some Home Depot type place.  I told her she was wasting her time as I'd already snaked the line and couldn't reach the blockage.  I also couldn't access the line from outside as she'd gone and built her brick patio over the access hatch.  Not to be deterred, she spent the next 3 hours trying to snake the line, then calling over random family members to take turns gawping, jabbering in Cantonese, and occasionally wiggling the snake ineffectually. I had fired up a game of Civ V during this and would kind of wander in and out between turns to take in the floor show.  I think there were six of them in my kitchen at one point.  While this was going on, I went off and did some searching on the internet and found a couple of plumbers that were local, worked on Saturdays, had good reviews, and offered reasonable rates. 

It's got to be a cultural thing.  At what point to you decide that you've spent enough time and that it's time to call in a professional?  I've spent a lot of time in Asia and have several Chinese friends, co-workers, and ex-girlfriends and it's generally true that they'd rather spend all day fiddling at a job if they think it'll save them a little cash in the end.  My land-lady simply would not give in and call a plumber.  After all, she'd already rented a snake!  She went back to the store and dragged back some hapless college kid in his smock.  He made a game effort of flailing with the snake for a bit and trying a plunger before heading back to the store with the snake in tow at 5pm. 

I called one of the plumbers I found online, told him what was going on, arranged for him to come and then told my land-lady that he was on his way and she could either pay him up front or I'd pay myself and then deduct the cost of the bill from next month's rent.    She said Ok and then said she was going upstairs for dinner and would return when the plumber arrived.

Imagine my surprise when the "plumber" who showed up later wasn't the man I spoke with over the phone but was, as I soon discovered, the boiler operator from the building where my land-lady works and they were from the same town in China, so she  got a deal!  And sure he might not be an actual plumber by trade, but he had his own tool belt and he spoke Cantonese, so what wasn't there to like?  At this point I began looking for hidden cameras to see if I was going to appear on Hong Kong's funniest Gwei-lo home videos.  I called back the plumber only to be informed that my land-lady had called him back to tell him that the problem was fixed so he didn't need to come out.  I grabbed a beer, left them to it and went back to Civ V.   

Obviously the tool-belt wasn't cutting it because sometime around 9 pm, another guy showed up.  No idea who he was as he didn't speak any English at all but he must've been a pro because not only did he have his own tool-belt, he also had a partially frayed extension cord and a 150 watt bulb! 

When he disassembled some shelving and broke out the PVC pipe cutter and started hacking, I did a quick assessment to make sure nothing of value of mine was at floor level, cracked open a beer, and decided to take in the show.  It was actually quite good entertainment.  Who knew a pipe-wrench could double as a jig-saw?  It was amazing to see him skillfully remove some OSB particle board by randomly ripping chunks out with said wrench even though I'd already offered him a selection of saws from my own tools.  I guess they weren't good enough because they were in a box instead of dangling on a belt.  At any rate, once the offending board was demolished, buddy cut a new access point into the pipe and began running the snake into the line.  Now, he did have a pretty decent snake.  It even had a fitting on it so you could thread it onto various sized PVC hubs in order to create a seal and prevent leakage. But why would you want to waste time doing that when you can just jam it in there and wiggle away?  How they failed to see what the outcome was likely to be was beyond me.  I tossed some towels down beside them and nudged the bucket towards him with my foot but he was too intent on working the snake to take heed.  He reached the blockage within a few minutes and was rewarded with a nice, high velocity kitchen waste water bukkake money shot.  Sadly, there wasn't too much left in the line so he was only partially covered in biofilm, old grains of rice, and random detritus. 

I will say that whatever shortcomings these guys had in the plumbing department, they did a hell of a job cleaning up and rebuilding the wall.  Shame that they didn't actually get out of my house until just before midnight.   

I did get quite a few turns in on my Civ V game.  The fascist Assyrian empire now controls 6 of the 10 world capitals.  It's 1967 and we've just developed our first Great War era bomber.  The musket-men of the debauched Danish and Japanese "civilizations" quake in fear.

Good lord SDR, that game sounds like crap!  Can't believe they wasted an entire day with that nonsense. 


As for myself, I was visiting family down in southeast MN this weekend.  I've still got the evening left for gaming, but not sure yet what I'll play.  Maybe FE:LH, maybe Distant Worlds, maybe something else.

You think it's bad now, just wait until the game auto-updates itself and adds the electrical wiring campaign.

It's a movie quote.  At least, I heard "motherbitches" used in a move line before, by someone with a foreign accent IIRC.  Can't recall exactly which flick at the moment.

I played the demo of that when I had the Telus Internet and TV cable guy come and hook my connection up for me.  It was pretty damned funny.  "Why the....what the?!....Look!  Look at this!  They've got this cable going into a 3-way splicer, then coming out as a single connection, going out of the wall, going back in, and then going to a 7-way splicer!  Can I take a photo of this?  Nobody's going to believe it." 

Followed by "What the hell is that?  I've never even seen a wire like that!  It looks like a 12-pin ribbon cable but there are only 8 pins.  Do you know what it's for?"  and finally "Mind if I just check the phone-jack?  Hey, this thing's hooked up to a modem.  It's still active at 9600 baud!  Any idea what it's connected to?"

  Note to self:  Right!  So what really happened this weekend?  Rome II - Macedon is doing okay.  Flying Colors -- more tinkering to get a 1748 flavor.  CLOD.  CLOD was pretty fun -- trying out the newly-flyable planes, trying to get interesting screenshots and so on.
