FRIDAY'S waiting............... up and down the boulevard

[Jarhead0331]

Angels Fall First, DCS 1.5 and SABOW and maybe a modded SHV.

[Nefaro]

Yet more World Of Warships.

Eldritch Horror on the table, waiting to be set up.  And continuing the Horror/Lovecraft focus... I may paint the other four Shadows Of Brimstone hero minis in preparation for an upcoming six-gun delve for dark stone and lootz.

I'm going to give Operation Torch and Civ BERT a try.

Also, with gameleaper's mention of Dien Bien Phu, it reminded me to toss out an FYI that The Centurions is finally, at long last, back in print and on Kindle.  And The Praetorians will be coming out in June, I believe.

Played some World of Warships tonight. Streaming the Command Northern Inferno expansion tomorrow morning. Rest of the weekend will be more Command and WoWS, with some Cities Skyline and finally diving into War in the West and Operation Torch.

A lot of CSME,  the last 4 scenarios i've played on the last move of the last turn the the AI has pushed me off and taken the VP  causing all manner of defeat rankings....SOB can't remember that ever happening to me before. revenge is a dish best served in the desert....wait that's not the right geeky star trek quote is it, it tasks me, it tasks me, and i shall have it,...man i'm digging this game. As a change of pace i was thinking of getting into the correctional industries since Prison Architect has been officially released or maybe another run through of "this war of mine"

Family is coming up for Thanksgiving, so probably not a lot of gaming for me...well, not on a screen, anyway. To the board games!  :D

That and running children to exhaustion shall probably form the basis of my weekend. Apparently, my nephew wants to learn how to throw a football. He shall learn. At least, he'll learn as long as my shoulder (which has been cranky lately) doesn't decide to start making me wince again.

My oldest Grandaughter has discovered rainbows. So crayons and rainbow colors, in their correct order, have been taking up my time.

I had forgotten the absolute joy of Madden 08 on the PC.  I picked up this EA Sports Collection 08 from Target or somewhere back in 2008 and I've only been playing Madden and Tiger Woods Golf since I got it.  Anyway, I finally reinstalled Madden, dusted off my old controller, and now I'm leading the Cowboys to the Super Bowl from the 2007 season! 

There is apparently quite the modding the community for Madden 08.  I'm downloading some mods right now, but I haven't tried them yet.  Frankly, for as long as I've been playing Madden, I'm pretty n00b at the potential of the software.  I'm looking forward to making a more serious study of the game.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!!!

[Toonces]

To follow up on my previous post, I downloaded and installed the lastest mod for Madden 08 called Football Freaks XV that creates the teams/uniforms/stadiums/etc. for the 2014-2015 season.  It has other things it mods, but since it's been so long since I played Madden it's hard for me to tell what is new and what is improved, beyond different player names.  Google will turn it up pretty quickly- I got it at Footballidiot.com or something like that.

The game is a tiny bit temperamental.  I've had two hard hang ups, one unmodded and one on my modded game.  Both required a computer restart to get the program to close.  What seems to cause it is hitting the ESC key while some of the cut scene stuff is going on; it could also be that I'm not selecting a controller before the game goes to live mode and so it's not recognizing my controller...it's hard to explain.  But Task Manager wouldn't let me close it out, which sucked a bit.

I can't believe how much I missed this game.  Totally stoked!

Finally entered the Deep Roads DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition. It's excellent and on the new rig looks absolutely stellar. Tons of new loot, craftable armor and weapons, a healthy dose of subterranean enemies and a spooky, lore rich setting make this more than worth the price of admission and breathe extra new life into one of my already favorite RPG titles.

:o

Are those Klingon BCs in Romulan service or is that a combined fleet? Who are the white counters?

Those are all Romulan ships courtesy of the Treaty of Smarba (Y159).  :P
The white counters are Gorn.

that looks an interesting project on a computer screen

gameleaper, nothing fancy, just a big Vassal module.  :)

Federation and Empire! FTW!
That's in VASSAL? Is it the official module from Amarillo? Man if we could get a full war scenario going of that...... although I've only played the original version without all the add-ons.

Me too.  And this weekend I'll be playing a lot of DCS beta 1.5 -- which looks very good and it looks like the MIG21bis can carry a lot more missiles.  But that could be a placebo effect of the beta.

  Back to the Mig21bis. After a few training missions, I find it easier to set up simple missions (for example -- start in the air where the default is all systems switched on)
and write up procedures for doing things from the manual.  I can shoot rockets at ground targets!

JTS Waterloo and CSME with Jim. A bit of Flashpoint Campaigns. Nattering with Bawb. A fair amount of LNL Tactical System both on the computer and on the table.
