Billion Dollar FRIDAY

MetalDog · October 02, 2015, 06:04:58 AM

Woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head. Don't know why. Hope it's stuck in yours now.

Wrapping up another Civ IV BtS mp. I've taken my entire continent from Tokugawa and now it's time to expand to other lands. Mansa Musa and Charlemagne are next. Lots of football and maybe even some lawn mowing will go along with it.

A Bed of Nails, springs to my mind.

I'm playing Heroes of Normandie, no surprise there, but Im only playing HoN, so that tells a story

undercovergeek · October 02, 2015, 06:34:30 AM

ill be looking at the WitP AE PBEMS when KyzBP gets a chance to send his turn

i have a fledgling game of HoN with Cyrano just starting

some MGS V

some ARMA III KotH

and i have a new purchase note burning a hole in my pocket - this will be Grand Ages Medieval or Blood Bowl 2 with a heavy lean to BB2 at the moment

I have family in town so less gaming than usual. However, if I can I play on getting in some ARMA 3 KotH. I also picked up a fun little game last week on Steam called Winter Games Trilogy or something to that effect. It's a winter olympics sports game. So I'll certainly be doing some bobsled runs this weekend! Finally, I'd like to start learning SABOW.

ASL with my gaming buddy on Sunday (new scenario - I need to plan my setup tonight or tomorrow). Working on an update for Blood Bowl VASSAL and have a new pbem of it starting up. Almost forgot, finish getting my butt kicked by Charlie Kibler in CM:RT (pbem). Biggest project though is working on some graphics for a new game that will be coming out down the pipeline (boardgame) but I'll wait for official announcements are made before I divulge too much (hint: Mad Russian is involved).

Is this the official announcement you're talking about?

If so I can't wait to see what you do with it. O0

I'll be finishing off some VASSAL work
Also continuing getting my butt handed to me by Cyrano in Heroes of Normandie PEBM++. Anyone else want a MP game of this? UCG? Gameleaper?
Also more Wing leader with SDR.
Also need to get back to my CKII campaign in 900's Kingdom of Leon.

And of course there is the continuing saga for yardwork in prepping fer winter.... :P

I move my gaze from World of Tanks (back) to War Thunder as I do get tired of the "hit point," sort of thing WoT has as part of its overall gaming damage model - yet I insist that this same approach works with the ships in World of Warships as they are flipping huge and are the end product of 200-300ish years of hot ship-on-ship action. Suckers are made to take a punch or two and keep going.

Amusingly enough, this happens every single time I get my WoT on for more than a few weeks; I get tired of just "plinking," away at enemy tanks' HP and want to see more concrete evidence of successful hits rather than some dude say, **"critical hit!"

Plus, running in Simulator mode with no vehicle markers visible and only binocs and the ol' Mk. I eyeball to catch what is going on around you is the only way to play.

** - I actually run with the Minions' voices soundpack on so a good hit just consists of a maniacal minion giggle usually.

A very Heroic weekend for me, split between Normandie and Might & Magic VII.

Re your video - several years back we were on a flight with Alice Cooper (he was on his way to a golf tournament, but there was no mistaking who it was as we walked through first class and on back to the peasant section), on a Friday the 13th, no less. Amazingly we lived to tell the tale.

I plan on spending some time with DCS World 1.5 beta and the L-39C Albatross. I'll probably also play some Angels Fall First, SABOW and probably hit some MGSV. I've finally started playing other things!

Gusington · October 02, 2015, 08:47:06 AM

Will be finalizing my new rig set up thanks to help from Toonces and Bison (hard drives are set up in reverse basically). Once that's done and I am home from Guadd drill and a buddy's memorial, I hope to finally get game time in with the new rig. I'll be starting out with Dragon Age - Inquisition...can't wait to see how that plays on this new machine. Then I'll install Grand Ages - Medieval...hope I can wrap my brain around that. Then maybe some Pillars of Eternity and perhaps Mad Max soon. And of course something really scary as it is now October...not sure what yet.

Crap...a 'p' really can make a big difference.

Pillars of Eternity. Although I do see Sword of the Stars complete is on sale on Steam for $2.50, so now is an excellent time to replace a great game I lost when Impulse when defunct.

I may do some DCS world and probably: XCOM:EU, CS Middle East and Wing Leader.

Rome 2. Where the Roman armies will cross the landbridge into Asia for the first time. But more epically, will introduce Latrines to Gaul. A real challenge as they're real slow learners there. But Gus is right, October is for scary stuff so I picked the perfect time to do the Heritage Hill quest in POE and now am up to my helmet top in un-dead. Very nice.
