Yeah - nice one on the comp.

Perhaps you'll be able to play CMx1 now? ;D

I will definitely be playing F1 2013. I actually really like the game. The AI seems decent enough. I've qualified 12th for my Williams team with Maldonado down in 15th. I missed out on a top ten by a couple of tenths! I really am enjoying this one and it'll likely be the only F1 game I have EVER completed a season in.

I will also be signing back up to iRacing as they have a 3 months subscription for $1. The problem with that game is it was a time sucker in so much as you needed to much practice to be able to improve and stay out of everyone's way, you had very little time for much else. It IS a great racing sim though.

I will also be firing up ARMA III and continuing the campaign. Now I have got past that god awful first mission in the second chapter, I find myself in charge of troops. That was never a highlight for me in the ARMA games. Hopefully I can be more resilient than previously.

I also have a downstairs cloakroom (toilet and sink) to dismantle so as some decorating can be done before I fit a new toilet suite. I expect that might suck some time out of my weekend.

Oh...and a new thermostat to fit. As you all know I took a bang on the head a few weeks ago and it seems to have affected my ability to avoid all things DIY related :(

Congrats on the new rig, Dog of Metal. I will be playing Assassin's Creed III this weekend after losing yet another Shogun 2 campaign...I just can't win that game. On the bright side my family and I are finally moving back to our house after 6 long months. Good bye basement dwelling hello shiny new house.

JudgeDredd · April 11, 2014, 07:37:24 AM

What happened to your house Gus?

Greybriar · April 11, 2014, 07:42:44 AM

I will be playing Income Tax Preparation this weekend. Also some Age of Wonders III, a little Hearthstone, and maybe just a bit of World of Tanks.

JasonPratt · April 11, 2014, 08:06:19 AM

Taxes are done (mine and parents); nieces are off to Disney for a week; finished Arkham Origins: Blackgate last weekend; might or might not go see Noah with Dad Saturday (saw CapAmerica last night and nothing overly interesting opens here in America today).

So definitely back to getting my Ethiopian WW1 campaign (now almost to the interwar years) up to speed. Once the war ends in-game I'm going to save, reload with the "anyone can declare war" turned back on, and see what happens until 1970! (Possibly also try overwriting with the mod that bridges the WW1 and WW2 Darkest Hour campaigns.)

AWESOME!!! I will be playing CMRT and maybe some boardgames. that's my current best guess anyway.

Jarhead0331 · April 11, 2014, 08:41:06 AM

Hmmmmm...

CMRT
Aggression
Space Engineers
Previewing the new Close Combat
maybe some CLoD

Sir Slash · April 11, 2014, 08:52:50 AM

I'm being cheap this weekend and pretending the American soldiers in CMBN are really Russian soldiers and I'm playing CMRT. I'll shout at the screen, "On Comrades" to cover up the sound of, "Let's go. Move 'em out" in English and wear sunglasses so the white stars on the tanks look red. That might work for about 3 or 4 turns. And then I'll either get frustrated and be the last person in the Western Hemisphere to buy the damned game or stay cheap and play Rome 2 as Carthage and pretend like I bought and am playing the Hannibal DLC.

Burned out on PC gaming again.... :P

So:
VASSAL programming.
Continue building new game table.
Blowing shit up in World of Tanks Xbox.... getting sucked into this game... no money spent... yet....

Maybe get a boardgame out and kill some cardboard.....

tgb · April 11, 2014, 09:01:21 AM

AoW 3. I'm jonesing for a new complex war game, and can't decide between Combat Mission or the new Flashpoint game. Any recommendation would help.

I desperately want to clear some computer games so I don't feel bad about getting back to some board gaming. I have a few games I really, really like

If you like WWIII then Flashpoint is a great game. It's WEGO so no rushing your orders. Good AI. Lots of fun.

Greybriar cutting it a little close to 4/15 eh?

JD I had my house gutted and renovated. It's finally almost finished. More room for games, books and I guess my family too.
