In the grim darkness of the Friday there is only war. And blood. And bowls.

I'm getting very close to a win in my NTW Campaign as Britain. So I'll probably work on that some along with Mysteries of Westgate for NWN2 as a break. Plus grass-cutting and a little pool-time. Last weekend of July Grogs. Better get out and get your Buns in the Sun while you can.

Steel beasts Pro and Combat Mission for me.

And some FFXIV on the PS4 in the wee hours.

More World War One Gold. I just love, love, love this game, warts and all. I've given up on Centennial Edition for the time being. The performance and graphical enhancements are excellent, until the laaaaaggggg sets in by turn two, and you can barely mouse over to the menu to quit. Seems like a pretty massive memory leak issue. And one would think that the devs--DigitalFroggies--would be staying on top of things, since this is their only game and they just launched it....but you'd be wrong. Centennial Edition has serious installation and performance problems, and "all's quiet on the dev front". Just baffling, really, the lack of dev support --

Man, I want to get back to OOTP 15 but just haven't been able to. The patch (3rd?) that eliminated the MLB franchises and logos really bummed me out, and I haven't gone back to it since.

That's weird, Sandman, I thought they had been dropping some early followup patches. But then I recall reading they had stopped having any presence very quickly, too.

Oh well. I'm happy enough with WW1G on my non-Steam Matrix CD.

More Wolfenstein : New Order. I like the fact that your play style unlocks new perks in the game. Really good shooter overall.

Probably more Battle Academy, as I make my way deeper into the Normandy campaign.

Perhaps more Battleblock Theater, which is both a fun platformer AND legitimately funny.

And now that the Master Set has arrived for Duel of Ages II, I'll begin figuring out some way to organize 15 or so pounds of cardboard in a way that makes any sense.

You can still get all that stuff via the All-In-One Mod, which can be downloaded and installed within the game. You don't even have to hit the "Ramdomize Team Names" option three times to roll them over to the proper MLB ones; the mod sets it by default again.

I installed the All-In-One Mod and then dropped in a different set of Logos that I like much better. But the Mod still comes with official ones. Ain't nuthin but a G-Spot babee! :D

sandman2575 · July 25, 2014, 02:01:53 PM

Not sure what I was doing wrong then -- I had the All-In-One mod, and then installed the dreaded 3rd patch, and voila, all the team names and logos were gone (per MLB's insistance to Markus, apparently). I tried reinstalling All-In-One but couldn't get it to work.

My preferred way to play is with real MLB teams and minors but fictional rosters, so I'm not playing the 2014 MLB quick start, which may have something to do with the problem. Anyway, it's been a few months since I tinkered with this, so maybe high time to get back to some OOTP this weekend...

Since the new 1.7 update is now out, I'll be spending some time with Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes.

Shelldrake · July 25, 2014, 02:57:28 PM

Checking out the new DLC for Wargame Red Dragon and the 1.7 patch for FE Legendary Heroes will be keeping me busy. Also will be continuing my first go through with the XCOM expansion on iron man mode.

steve58 · July 25, 2014, 04:24:16 PM

Probably some Battle Fleet 2 for sure and maybe some Making History the Great War and/or Commander: The Great War (after I get my Steam key). I'm also hearing the siren call of Railroad X since I can get it for $30 on HB. Not sure why as I don't need another train sim, but this one is more a model railroad layout sim versus a train driving sim....trying to hold out, but not sure...

Will also be starting a small offensive to take out the straggler European Hornets that are still flitting around after the exterminator dusted the nest they made behind the bricks on the front of my house. Was hoping they'd be like old soldiers and just fade away, but they persist...

After the third patch, you can hit the randomize team names option a few times and the real names will show....that should work whether with or without the mod.

Never heard of the Railroad X game until you mentioned it, I own the two other main ones....I wonder what this one has to offer that the other two don't fulfill....I read the forums on steam, but appears pretty light on activity....this one will have to go way cheaper before I give it a go:)

Incidentally, Game 2 of my AAR is finally up tonight -- I'm one step closer to getting back to actually playing the game! :D

Also, I picked up an interesting looking Early Access title called Merchants of Kaidan, which seems a bit like a fantasy version of Sid Meir's Pirates but more landbased and set in a post-spacefaring world where the original inhabitants have regressed into medieval life with fantasy trappings. I was impressed with the setting.
