Its Friday!

paplan - sorry - I didn't know what your post meant. I believe congrats are in order. And as UCG says - normal practice is to honour MetalDog, anything Bon Jovi normally grabs his attention  >:D

JH - I absolutely love the GR series...especially the last one.

As for MOO3, I did watch one of your videos. As well done as it was (and kudos for doing them - anything for the community should be applauded), I just couldn't get into MOO3 (which I got as part of the MOO bundle) - not even with the help of your video...not after the beauty of the latest MOO. It may be a shell of the others and simplified, but it is stunning and I actually really enjoyed the game.

I know, I know...you're a shameless graphics whore and like the moth to the flame, are attracted to anything new and shiny.  O:-). You certainly are not alone in disliking moo3. In fact, it is clearly the majority opinion, but for a select few of us, it is still the best, most immersive 4x experience.

I tried the new moo and liked it, but I found it only made me want to fire up moo3. I'm disappointed there have not been any patches or updates for the new moo yet. I was hoping for a quick and aggressive cycle through early access. I'd like to see more content in it before I make any judgments, but the fact that it gives me the urge to play an older version is pretty telling.

Congrats to you and your son paplan!

Still no baby, we're three days overdue now, so it will be CMANO for me until the little guy decides to vacate his current residence. When I'm not corralling the other three away from their mother, that is.

Congrats, paplan...sounds like your son is starting his life off the right way.  O0

AB, hope that kiddo stuff works out soon...a new baby in the air...

Speaking of air, the Interwebs has a special message for MD from BJ...



As for playing...not sure. I have to go to Oklahoma Monday morning and still have some prep work to do for that. I might take a small solitaire game with me though I might not get to it.

If I do anything it'll need to be something to further one of my AARs.

I think there's a good chance that something comes out tonight. Minor updates should come out about once a week while major updates should come out once a month.

Finished my Empy campaign (and AAR) at last. Plenty of good things to try next, but I'm still coughing off the pseudo-flu, so I suspect I'll mostly be sleeping.

And Barbieroasting with Barth if he gets a turn in this weekend on our DC3 game.  >:D

[Rayfer]

Tried dabbling in other stuff but keep getting drawn back into WitP:AE....Allies full campaign, quiet China, no turn one surprise (yes, I'm a beginner to this monster game and needed some advantages).

Welcome to the forum and congrats, paplan

First priority for me after work today is getting my gaming PC back online. Its been down all week with what I hope is just a dying cpu cooler. Between work and doing more paperwork for the new house I haven't been able to find the time to do it after work this week. Starting to go through gaming withdrawals. MUST PLAY SOMETHING!
.
I'll be streaming streaming something tomorrow morning on my twitch channel. With the PC down I haven't been able to get anything prepared. Possibilities are a scenario from the CMANO community pack, Continue my Aurora Let's Play or Cities Skylines.

After the stream I have some CMANO scenario work to do. Mainly redoing work on the 1950 Battleship scenario I started on my stream last week. Accidentally saved over the scenario when I was doing some testing last weekend. Thankfully, I didn't lose to much work but was a good reminder of why you should always back stuff up.

Diablo 3 and Aurora will round out my weekend gaming. Probably should get started on packing too. Have 2.5 weeks until I move into the new place.

Congrats, paplan!
I think I'm in a space 4x mood. Maybe MOO or Horizon (still need to work on my Star Trek mod) or BotF (BoP Mod).

Going to fire up newly purchased X-Com 2 (Thanks Grim for the $ savings), and go though my Demo of       Heroes of Normandy.....

CMANO sounds fun.  I might see what happens with some early 1960s US missiles.  Also some Atlantic Fleet.

In honour of his seniority here it's customary every Friday to post a link to any Bon jovi song you like for Metal Dog and work the lyrics into the thread title - something like 'you give FRIDAY a bad name' - he loves that one

Metaldog is a usurper of the Friday thread, which was started a long ago in a remote corner of the galaxy and/or corner of the intrawebz.  But I encourage all mocking and punnery directed toward him.   O0

Wow, going on Number 4?  Congrats & Good Luck!!!  I have two little ones and I can't imagine having a third, much less a fourth!!

Mius Front unlocks in about 13 hours. So around 10PM EST. I seriously cannot wait. Haven't been this excited about a new game in a long time.

[Bison]

I have 4 and we never sleep.

[mirth]

Every once and a while I think it would be nice to have another kid. Then I think I must be totally insane.

I have a homebrewed table top gaming group that'll carry me into my retirement years.
