It take the paint off your car and wreck your FRIDAY, too...

Well I got my new PC but haven't installed the graphics card yet.  I'm saving that for tomorrow morning, so that I have plenty of time to fix stuff if anything goes wrong.  Assuming all goes well, I have a list of games I've been waiting to try on the new rig.  Here are some I hope to play this weekend:

Rising World.  A lovely crafting/building sim, still in alpha, but if I can get it running smoothly it'll be a pleasant way to spend some time as well as showcase what my new PC can do.

Interstellar Marines.  I really like this game but it was barely playable on my old PC.  I'm very much looking forward to diving back in.

Dota 2.  I ragequit last year after a sudden string of losses but would love to try it again running smooth as poo.

Age of Wonders 3.  Will continue to beta test the Linux build.  It was actually playable on the old PC; reported FPS were very low but that doesn't really matter in a turn based game.

You even have the evil hoodie for it!

'Hoody.' Like 'doody' but with an 'h' and cleaner.

My Rome 2 Macedonia campaign is imminent for later this spring, BTW.

I haven't played anything yet this weekend!   :-[

^Rome 2, right now. Do it!

I've been playing mostly Armada 2526 Gold so far but have also decided to forward the rts i have in my plan for April...it's Paraworld...played one mission already. I think my new standard is to have a strategy game along with a more "story" oriented game (like an rts)...

[Skwerl]

Anguille,

You have excellent taste in obscure games.  Paraworld is a really fun game with an interesting premise, but beware of the sketchy voice acting (as I recall the Boar Riders were the worst).

Thanks! Look forward to explore the game...(i have a fairly big number of obscure and old games in my collection which i've been wanting to play for many years).

I finished my Vietnam '65 campaign late last night (the Groghead link is in my sign currently); and ran another one (much more quickly for not having to do an AAR on it ;) ) this afternoon.

Despite some rather goofy enemy mechanics, which are only obvious once some time is spent on the game, and a serious lack of communication about what the hell is going on in the game and why (from the manual and tutorials I mean), I pretty strongly recommend it. It's the cheapest good game Matrixlitherine has ever released (or the best cheap game rather); for a new game it's pretty hard to beat the price-to-fun ratio (on a PC game anyway).

All Civ all the time.  Solo and mp.  Got into Team Battleground for the first time.  It's just a closer version of what we have already been playing.  We have already been trading tech and resources, but now, with Team Battleground, each of you immediately has the technology discovered by you or your partner.  And it appears that Wonders that effect the whole continent effect you  as well as your partner.  Good times.

I didn't get to play much this past weekend.  Was visiting my grandmother and some friends down in Winona and La Crosse, although I did get to create a new character for 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons while I was down there.
