It would be a shame not to FRIDAY you again

If I have time some Nobunaga's Ambition

If you get around to playing this one at all, would be interested to hear your thoughts on it.  Have had my eye on it for a while now, but it's rather expensive.

+1.  Bought it during the winter sale, but have spent no time with it.  This, along with The Seven Year's War, are the two titles I really want to get into but I fear the steep learning curves...

Nobunaga's looks like it has a large amount of options to go through every turn, but it looks more complicated than it really is. 

You'll often be using just a handful of the many orders every turn, spread across your many holdings.  There is a small pdf manual available for it.  In the install location.. or linked on the game page.. I don't recall off-hand.  It has simple summaries of all the orders, though, so that may be a better help than the odd and very Engrish-y tutorial.

The game is definitely very improvement-focused, but the other large share of decision-making regards efficiently placing all your generals in various holdings and assigning them the proper command or missions.  And keeping an eye on the ones with questionable loyalty.

Really....F**king Winger, it would be harder to find bands then who didnt have big hair. Bon Jovi was certainly in the running, so was the Crew, Poison, Whitesnake, Van Halen.....so for godsakes...Why Winger . One does not open a friday thread and expect to see a Winger reference...................EVER. Whew, i feel better. Didn't know my Winger hate was still alive.

I will be doing some zombie killing in 7 days to die and playing PCO and will probably pick up CMRT.

For god sakes think of the collateral damage next time. O if he watched that video he was punished, trust me :) I do fall on the ban Jovi side of things. Their concerts were great, probably 75% female.

What's up with all the Jersey hate?   >:(  Bon Jovi is like milk to me!

Now then, for gaming, I'm sort of all over the place.  I've been working my way through Shelby Foote's excellent Civil War trilogy, and so I'm hankering to fire up Scourge of War.

Completely opposed to that, I've been considering firing up Silent Hunter 4 and revisiting that game.

Finally, I want to continue taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl with Madden 25 on the Xbox.  Maybe a little NHL13 to mix things up.  Sort of a grab bag of subjects in my gaming today.

Oh, and Skyrim.   ::)

Playing X-Com 2, trying to improve my strategic game (so far, so good) and not to suck too much in the tactical battles.

Excellent action shot, IronX! O0

Most of the weekend will probably be spent getting ready for a D&D 5E campaign with some noobs. 

Cool.  Have you played 5E before?  Am a little curious as to what veteran D&D players think of it (I still love my 3.5). 

I haven't played it yet either.  I have a group of 5 or 6 n00bs (two are even real live females) that want to learn how to play.  Just dropped a C-note at BAM for the DMG and the PH.  Couldn't afford the MM, so, I'm going to have to fake it.  Tomorrow night is character creation and back story.  Probably have the first session one of the next two Saturday nights.

Just be glad it's not you being banned from starting FRIDAY threads with that awful noise :P

I purposely started last FRIDAY's thread with a song just for you.  Did I hear, "Great song, Dawg!"  No.  Not even an acknowledgement.  So, you can keep your ivoJ noB and no more songs for you :P :P :P

I'm not saying last week was bad, it just wasn't Bon Jovi.   :-*

Now then, let me rock YOU buddy!

OMG, Ratt!  You know I have Hair Nation in my Sirius playlist, right?  Ratt...   

[Apocalypse 31]

Mission development for Steel Beasts.

Mastering the DCS UH-1 - I landed on the oil rig on my first attempt and now I'm sort of hooked on the game.

Messing around with the new Eden 3d Editor for ArmA 3. Although its nice to have a 3d editor, the ArmA editor is still a distant 3rd behind Steel Beasts and DCS World editors.

So, Bon Jovi is better than Chevelle?  What universe are YOU from?!?!?!?!!!

I've been battling the flu all week, thankfully Paradox knows that the cure is a new DLC release in the form of Cities: Skyline Snowfall.

My current city is up to about 16,000, using 4 of the zones. not really going for max density this time around. Was really up and down economically for awhile. Took me a few hours to start gaining a steady profit, and not have every new improvement send me back into the red. I haven't read the patch notes, but I suspect there was some balancing done to income along with the new road, temperature mechanics.

Aurora, Elite, and CMANO scenario work are possibilities as well if I'm feeling up to it.

Lock'n Load Tactical demoes arrived just today. 

You got both demos?

Yes I did, arrived in the same parcel too. Meanwhile, I printed out the Playthrough guide and the extra counter and laminated the latter. So I guess you can say I was rather waiting for these.

;D
