Into the wild blue yonder on a Friday

[Rekim]

My days off just ended and am/will be working shifts through the weekend.

On my two nights off I played great game of ASL.

My PC gaming time was spent playing a bit of Fireball and a whole lot of HOI 3. Incredibly, my two nights of HOI were dedicated to the task of shifting my German fighting forces from France and the Low Countries to their staging areas on the east front. Kick off for my op Barbarossa is scheduled for Monday evening, shortly after the wife goes to bed.

Currently giving the Volokonovka 1942 campaign for Achtung Panzer Operation Star a go.

Spent 90 minutes today with W8taminutette2 playing Far Cry 3 Co-op.  We played the Sidetracked mission.  I set the mission to casual figuring I don't want to overwhelm my baby girl, and because I'm not that great at shooters myself.   ;)

Everything was proceeding nicely through the first 4 mission segments.  When we got to the 5th and final segment we ran into trouble.  Even at casual setting the final battle proved to be very tough!!  After the 12th retry daddy was pretty much ready to rage quit.  I think I even let loose an f-bomb which is not the example I should be setting however...I discovered my daughter has a exceptional ability to rally me at a point where I was crying like a little girl because we couldn't beat this level.  On the 13th attempt we started the round getting to the ammo crates to stock up on ammo.  My daughter turns to me and says "This level is a ripoff."  I don't know if it was the way she said it or the actual comment itself but I burst out laughing.  And then I noticed that she had kept calm under fire all along and was making all kinds of comments like these throughout the game.  As a result I loosened up enough to tackle this segment one more time and my daughter and I made it through. 

So we blew off a little steam by playing Horde mode together in Gears of War 3.  It was a great afternoon!

W8, that's just awesome man!  I pray many, many, many more such sessions for you both.

Very cool W8taminute!  Definitely sounds like a good time.
