In the vein hope of appeasing MD and removing some of the disdain I received from my BJ play last week, here's a group I love - and a particular song too

*EDITED* to eventually get a bloody link that wouldn't FORCE Youtube on you.
I swear that great thing that was going to be the internet and World Wide Web is getting more and more shite!

This weekend tomorrow is a right off because of the final day of the 6 Nations. 8 hours of rugby!!

However, I hope to get my F1 2016 career off to a start in F1 2015 and there will definitely be more The Division with some Combat Mission:Battle for Normandy and a smattering of Hitman:Absolution...see if there's any need for me to buy the new one - eventually

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Round 2 of GMT's The Virgin Queen tonight. Still trying to make decent progress in Dragon Age: Inquistion (so many friggin side quests). Maybe some SWTOR.

Anguille · March 18, 2016, 05:09:39 AM

I plan to play the following:

- Stardrive 2....still Learning the game and still trying to win on easy. I've spent many hours on it already and it's really a nice game.

- Grand Ages: Rome...continue my campaign with 1-2 missions

Next week will be different with the expected EA2 of Master or Orion and strategy game i will help with beta-testing, though i think i'll still continue with Grand Ages: Rome.

The purge of my HDD and steam library continues and its quite refreshing to see a small array of game icons i know i want to play instead of getting bogged down in what to choose to justify their purchase - i almost went whole hog and returned to my childhood of one game, play til done and then the next one but that was a tad extreme

So there will be some WitP with KyzBP, some Call to Arms which is filling the modern combat hole very much - i think im done with CM, im tied to a PBEM with Con that im enjoying but after that it will go the way of the rest of the purge

On the flip side of the purge is making a decision over Mius front or Battlefleet Gothic - i need to watch a few more lets plays, Mius might just be a little too much and whilst i like the look of Gothic im not entirely smitten yet - both of which suggest theyre not must buys and therefore make the decision to cut down on meh games a bit obsolete

I recently reinstalled Anno 1404 for a bit of late night Jameson sipping and town buuilding and im enjoying that too

Been there - they come back.

I did exactly the same and had exactly the same thought - one game - no - too extreme...Just a few. Before I knew it, over the course of a month or two I had a full desktop of loving icons all begging me to double click!

But it does feel refreshing for a time.

I appreciate the attempt at appeasement, JD. You are forgiven :)

This weekend will be some Fantasy Grounds with Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset with Bison. I have a couple of mp Civ IV games going and may get to one, none, or all of them. But mainly, it will be yardwork. The damn thing is about six feet high! (Ok. It only feels that way, but, still...)

undercovergeek · March 18, 2016, 06:07:28 AM

yeah i chuckled yesterday as the icons got deleted that theres Stellaris and TW:WH coming and poss HOI 4 but i only get 2 or 3 nights a week to game so the temptation is not as strong - i will buy them one by one not all 3 - my brain would melt - i mention the Mius/Gothic thing - i could very well have bought either or both this week and i would not have had chance to play, that hiatus has saved me from many an impulsive purchase over the last few months

Hofstadter · March 18, 2016, 06:18:33 AM

I caved and got Victory and Glory: Napoleon, because I just cant resist any game thats napoleonic. Will be playing a heap of Mius front, will experiment in the Battle of Waterloo for scourge of war. Maybe check out Wars Of Napoleon from AGEOD to see if that stopped being a steaming pile of broken garbage.

Dammit Carl! · March 18, 2016, 06:52:24 AM

So, I get the thrills-n-chills of the yardwork that I didn't get done last weekend still to do, I also get to throw down on some wrench-time on the family vehicles :)

Wheee!

Oh yeah, RO2/Rising Storm is going to happen.

I'm still recovering from my last hard drive/steam purge, JD is right they come back. I'm back up to a respectable 30 installed

.

Since i'm off work and it will be sunny i will be playing spring yard cleanup during daylight hours. The gaming plan is some Mius front and the newly purchased Tigers on the Hunt, i'm a sucker for a tactical game. the scenario builders are really turning them out, there's already 50+ scenarios released by the community. I'm thinking of mixing a run and gun FPS in there for a change of pace. With that in mind i've loaded up Duke Nukem Forever for some alien scum killing action.

Better Tune selection JD O0

Barthheart · March 18, 2016, 07:04:16 AM

No yardwork up here yet... although I can actually see the yard now. :D

More VASSAL work.
PBEM with Jason in DC3.
Try to hook up with MD and Tuna for some Civ IV MP.
I've got a PBF game of Ace of Aces going over at BGG. We're using the intermediate rules that include altitude and ammo. First time I've played with those rules. Good stuff. O0
Learn Plan Orange so SDR and I can have a go.

Final disassembly of the head for my Miata's motor so I can take it to someone to do a proper valve job on it.

More drooling over Stellaris videos.... :D

Rayfer · March 18, 2016, 07:46:06 AM

JD....I always loved AC/DC's instrumentals, but as soon as the lead singer opens his mouth the experience is ruined. I prefer singing over screaming. Regardless....made it to the Dec 26th, 1941 turn in WitP:AE and will continue this weekend. Also, very close to finishing Life is Strange, and will do so by Sunday.

I was supposed to be working on my Horizon mod but ended up playing an actual game instead. The good news is that makes me want to finish my mod even sooner. Having the Trek races in the game is really pulling me in.
And I might pull out my Lock n Load Tactical WWII Demo and throw some dice as well.

Excellent! Can't wait.

Still playing a game of DC:Barbarossa but I plan on slipping in time on the new Victory and Glory:Napoleon and maybe a bit of Civ V as well.
