Friday is upon us - let the games begin

See that river? It's not as fordable as you think!!

  This happened to me in the ARMAIII Afghanistan map.   Drove a tank into a river thinking "How deep can a river in a desert be?"  It was about 40 feet deep.  The tank crew and I got out and we attacked on foot and were shot to bits pretty fast.

Not sure yet what else I'll be doing (with the nieces if possible), but for Memorial Day weekend I'll certainly be trying to put a quick stop to the American Civil War with a small two regiment brigade in my Take Command 2 AAR of the 1st Bull Run battle.

Or if I can't get a survivably epic failure out of that instead of an epic win (assuming I'm going to fail since the plan is pretty crazy), I'll reload and try a safer defensive win.

Getting all the scenarios and presentations ready for the GrogHead HQ Staff Planning Exercises for Origins in over a week!  O0

...and know that is not enough time to get it all done and ready 

[Martok]

It will be almost entirely space/sci-fi 4x goodness for me this weekend: 


Some more Birth of the Federation (Ultimate Mod 5), and have started a new Wekkarus campaign in Distant Worlds: Universe now that the new update is out.  I also need to take Pandora for a spin since I picked up the Eclipse of the Nashira expansion pack. 

Maybe a little Sovereignty if I feel the need to change things up... 

[Gusington]

Well done UCG, you magnificent bastard.

[sandman2575]

Kudos, UCG. You're living the dream. Of course, in my case, "working for myself" would fall somewhere between "Subprime mortgage lending" and "Arab-Israeli peace talks" on the Unlikely To End Well Spectrum...

Still hooked on Prison Architect.  Would be nice to get back into some Kerbal Space Program as well...

[Anguille]

I plan to continue my campaigns in CIV V and Shogun 2 TW. I've only started to play both games this week. So far, i am not really that impressed. CIV V is a very classic successor to the series, looking good and plays smoothly. Still, not too excited yet but it's pleasant and relaxing. Shogun 2 has a really nice strategy map but i have to say that so far the battles have left me "meh". They look great but it usually ends with a big rush on the center by the AI without much tactics...so far it's been way too easy (battles). Actually it makes me want to play Takeda 3 with it's, imho, much superior battle engine. Will try to focus on the campaign.

Say WHAT?  ???

LOL!

Also warn him about driving tanks over small bridges.

This is the version I fondly remember of the Eurythmics.  When I saw Annie Lennox take that wig off in the video for the first time I was absolutely stunned and shocked.  "I stumbled through the debris."  Always had a love for the Eurythmics.

Judge the video you posted is forbidden here in the states.  I think I found one that is permissible for us yankees.  I had a big crush on the girl in this video because she reminded me of a waitress I worked with that I wanted when I was 18.   
But I was just a humble dishwasher that no girl wanted.   :'(

 


As for gaming I'll be bouncing between Project Cars, Bladestorm Nightmare, and the recently rediscovered and now fully functional under Win8 "Pacific Storm Allies" with the Rising Sun mod.

[JasonPratt]

Man, Bladestorm Nightmare has gotten hammered in the PS4 reviews, averaging around 53% from 22 reviews!

I'm thinking I might be better off staying with the original.  :o

3.5 day weekend for me starting an hour and a half ago, with the weather looking to be rubbish there should be plenty of time for gaming. Command will be taking up a lot of my time. Going to be doing a complete rework of the scenario I've been working on. I should be able to reuse most of the forces I already have set up but most of the missions and scripting will need to be redone. Good news is the new scripting should be easier to do.

I'll definitely be continuing my EUIV and Distant Worlds AAR games. Going to try and throw some Elite, Kerbal and Cities Skyline (with the new patch) in there somewhere as well.

I really don't know why there is a lot of hate on the game.  I think they did a great job remastering the original campaign that you can play in this version.  I haven't tried the Nightmare campaign yet as I wanted to judge the original content first and compare it to the PS3 version.  I might post some gameplay vids of mine here over the weekend if there is any interest.

I'm having nausea problems with Witcher 3. No FOV adjustment that I can find. So I'll have to revert back to OoH: Pacific and GC3 until there's hopefully a mod for FOV.

Ugh.  Well, if someone else is getting it then I will too.  Looks like Witcher 3 is off the list.

[Skoop]

Flying the La5 and Yak1 in il2 battle of Stalingrad, and crewing a t-62 in SABOW.

Maybe a couple rounds of Verdun.
