Little monster, I got my FRIDAY on you!

MetalDog · July 16, 2015, 11:16:37 PM

If you're the type to dig a bad ass jam first thing in the morning, this is the ticket. Turn it up!!

I am going to go hard core at something this weekend, just not sure what. Maybe some EuIV or CK2. Check back in with Sovereignty: Crown of Kings maybe. Got Age of Wonders III on the brain, too.

I've still got the Civ 5 bug pretty bad. However, today is the release of Interstellaria which I shall be downloading at the earliest opportunity - it looks very promising. Impressions forthcoming!

Other than that, I've just upgraded my kernel and graphics driver and suddenly some games I was previously unable to play are now playable. I may therefore also play Shroud of the Avatar and on Sunday afternoon how can I resist a relaxing round of Perfect Golf? Oh, and on top of all that, I couldn't resist the deep discount of Lords of Xulima at GOG so I may start a game of that too. Quite a nice weekend lined up!

I have my 2 day 200 mile bike ride next week (thank you very, very VERY much to all the Grogs that donated...fantastic effort from you all...thank you) so I'll be preparing my bike, packing things to make sure everything fits, getting a list of items I need together - so gaming will be thin on the ground.

Bawb - don't forget we're going to meet at the start on Thursday morning outside the Quayside Premier Inn!

Also - I've decided to make the most of the summer weekends and make my model aircraft...something I should've done more than a month ago. I've got a plethora to work on and I've been putting it off because I'm scared of wasting them by using my airbrush which I'm not comfortable with - which is ridiculous because I specifically bought some cheap (£6) models for specifically that purpose.

So modelling at weekends is going to be my main thing.

On top of that, the Rugby Championship kicks off with New Zealand taking on Argentina and Australia taking on South Africa...and with the Rugby World Cup coming up, this is a must watch.

Sorry - what was the question? Sorry for the rambling.

I think if I do get any gaming in, I'll be aiming to complete the first race of the Season at Albert Park in Australia in F1 2015

That really wasn't a very interesting ending to a long gaming post - sorry

I'll be continuing the witp game with kyzBP

An old friend who I first played witp against in 2007 got in touch after 6 years to say he's ready for another game so I'm setting up the Japanese first turn again but with a surprise

Some bike riding nutter owes me a pbem turn for cmbs

And I'll try and squeeze in some elite

JudgeDredd · July 17, 2015, 02:21:59 AM

oops ;D

Tonight.

I did notice the other day I had left it 5 days or something...but my troops have nothing to live for. They are a disarrayed shambles.

I did send a turn either yesterday or the day before, so I don't know if you picked that one up. I checked last night and nothing was waiting for me

Been away from home - that turn is probably waiting for me - I will accept your graceful surrender of you think you've had your ass whooped!

JudgeDredd · July 17, 2015, 02:33:10 AM

Nah - we'll carry on. BUT - I think there's like 40 minutes left and I am very, VERY thin on the ground. You're Javelins, murderous APC's and Apache's (I presume?) have seen to that.

Don't forget my complete and utter incompetence! I sat back for the first 20 minutes or more allowing you to move forward and grab the best defensive positions.

Having said that - I don't think my forces proper turned up for 20 or 30 minutes. I only had 3 recon units.

And - the Russians are cobbled in the sense that it's only HQ and FOA's that can call for support. Recon are...well, rubbish.

Still - I didn't manage my troops at all well. Or my tanks.

The Rush was terrifying

JudgeDredd · July 17, 2015, 03:06:15 AM

lol - useless

MikeGER · July 17, 2015, 04:58:47 AM

JD ,and what is your "Geralt status" ;)

(i found out that taking just a day break or two, i loose a little overview of all the open main quests, side quests, and contracts and treasure hunts too, i switch between (all the open sub and sub sub stories told) ...and a shitload of question marks and blinking blackboard i didn't dare to investigate ... even more open quests and half told stories to swcitch between )

JudgeDredd · July 17, 2015, 05:02:12 AM

I need to get back to it is the status. I was thwarted by pCars, then F1 2015 and mostly just rl.

But I do love that game.

WHAT TIME?????

JudgeDredd · July 17, 2015, 05:55:34 AM

I'm not sure yet - probably 08:00 as I've got 100 miles to do :o

What time would fit?

No that's OK - I'd rather fit in with your plans.

JudgeDredd · July 17, 2015, 06:39:44 AM

If you'd prefer Bawb...I'm in Newcastle on the Wednesday night...I could meet up for a couple of beers with you? I'll be having a few sherberts anyway...it might be more convenient than an 8am rise!
