Win one for the little guy this Friday

Good luck with the move, MD! I hope it goes smoothly...or at least smoothly as moving to a new house can be. ;)

Game-wise, I'm feeling like I might want to get my Greek on, so perhaps some Hegemony Gold is in order. In addition, I believe I'll (finally!) take a break from Distant Worlds to fire up Space Empires IV, which I just purchased from Steam the other day. I've never played the full game before (just the demo), and want to at least try it out before I get all overwhelmed by it again. :P

It is a great game. I haven't opened up my Distant Worlds yet. Please let me know how they compare.
I have spent many yarens in SE IV .

I play "Moving to a new house" every damn day as it's been my job for the last 12 years (not for much longer, though, yeehaa ;D ) so good luck and keep that back straight. Game wise, I'm currently playing the latest Xenonauts build, it's getting better and better, with a good variety of maps.

More Ghost Recon Online. It's actually not a bad little free shooter. Aside from that, I'm going to try to get a bit more Brutal Legend played. And I just picked up a game from GOG called Total Overdose that looks like Grand Theft Auto lite meets Desperado...which sounds like an utterly badass combo to me.

My wife tells me I may get to move-out anytime now. I'm not sure exactly what she's talking about but she seems certain about it. But I get to take the "Horse I rode in on" with me so I come out ahead, I guess.

Well this *is* me we're talking about (I can take forever to get around to doing stuff), so no promises as to how long I'll be. :P But I'll try to do a contrast/compare piece once I've spent at least a little time with it.

Thanks for all the good wishes fellas! I'm hoping there is only one more move after this. And that won't be too bad as I will be giving away most of the rest of my stuff before that one. And dig you avatar, PE :)

Be careful with that nightmare MD.

And I agree about PE's avatar. Good stuff. 8)

Good luck MetalDog...moving house is my nightmare...and I'll be very, very happy if I never have to do it again!

I have a 25mile Time Trial on Sunday and a 100km ride coming up March 23rd - so I need to get some saddle time - gaming will be reduced significantly

I have GOT to try a wee sneaky of Band of Heroes. I'm so stoked about getting it and kind of deflated when I saw the rules.

BUT - either I'll game or I'll read rules.

This weekend I will be playing, "move to a new house." So, any game playing can only be done after getting everything situated. That's not looking all that good. In any event, what will you be playing?

Oh, and today in 1896, Ethiopia defeated Italy in the battle of Adwa.

As stated by all - hope the move goes well my friend.

Still keeping up my resolve to learn War in the East and probably some Warlock when my resolve fails.

Surprisingly I've barely touched Skyrim this week. I started a new Distant Worlds campaign, playing as the humans. Noticed that the economy has been balanced a lot since I last played. I'm up to 68 colonies, have the biggest fleet, and the most territory, but I only have 1 million cash on hand and only have an income of 50-60k. Unlike previous games, I've had to keep my ship construction to a reasonable level. I actually had a negative income from colonies for awhile, but my bonus income made up the difference. This games starting to snowball so I'm going to start a new game with 1 of each race, with higher difficulty and aggressiveness levels. With photoshop CS2 now being free, I think I'm going to try my hand a doing some custom ships.

I *might* play some Skyrim too....

If I can get tickets, I may go to Emerald City Comicon in Seattle on Sunday.

Good luck with the move MetalDog

Good luck with the move Metal Dog!

Tonight is probably going to be spent celebrating and doing a wee bit of drinking with Mrs. Toonces while getting caught up on all our shows.

For the weekend I'm hoping to get in some Skyrim.

Rizik6 · March 02, 2013, 01:23:24 AM

I fired up a game of Civ 5 with G&K on Epic and King. It's been awhile. I also noticed some mods using the Game of Thrones world that look interesting.

Huw the Poo · March 02, 2013, 02:56:48 AM

Good luck with the move, MetalDog. As someone who rents in a country where renters have hardly any rights, I move house a lot and it's absolutely horrible. Probably the most stressful thing you can do, even if you hire a removals team to help.

Myself, I will be playing Guild Wars 2 this weekend, and hopefully get started on my first multiplayer game of Dominions 3 - I can't wait!
