Taking my daughters on an overnight to an indoor waterpark and safari. Pray for me.

Just you, sans wife?

A scene from The Hunt for Red October comes to mind, when Tim Curry's character salutes Sean Connery and says, "You will receive the Order of Lenin for this!" 

;D

I'm picturing more Lord of the Flies....  :2funny:

Considering I am ending what has been a total shit week at work and the weather is supposed to be shat this weekend here too I think I will splurge and pick up Polaris Sector and spend the weekend playing that.
Insert witty comment here.

I am giving-up all my gaming this weekend to instead build houses for the poor and watch Date movies with my wife........... APRIL FOOL!!!  :2funny:   It'll be CMBN's Market-Garden campaign mission 1 and some PoE to un-wind after. And Civil War II if it's real quiet around here which it usually isn't on weekends.

I think probably just F1 2015 now that I've found out why my wheels kept locking in game! I've spent countless hours going in and out of this game wondering wtf is wrong with my setup...my wheels lock at the slightest touch of the brake. Seems all I had to do was go in and go through the axis assigning phase again...work great now.

I don't know as yet if that's a regular thing - but at least I know what my first port of call should be now (next time).

I'm playing F1 2015 on Pro Season which means no assists, AI to Legend and full practice, qualifying and race times/distances. Also maximum damage, but the damage model is shite in the game anyway, so it's probably not even worth mentioning that bit.

Also I might throw in some more Masters of Orion
Alba gu' brath
Jarhead - I hate people

Total War Rome II: After struggling to survive in Attila, I'm trying my hand at the Sparta DLC (mainly so I can stomp around the house yelling, "THIS IS SPARTA!!").

Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg: Playing the demo scenarios.

Combat Mission Black Sea: Try out some user-made scenarios. Maybe make a vid.

CiV IV if I can corner the others before their bed time....  ;)

Hey MD ended last night's not me!!!!! Just cause I didn't want to start another one due to sleepy time, no need for me to take a dig!  :'(

MD's excuse of "I'm about to be sucked up by a tornado, I gotta go NOW." is better than your "It's my beddy by time."... just sayin....  :2funny:

As I have the Civ 5 complete pack, does that work with your scenarios in Civ 4?  I have learned as much as I can as Queen Elizabeth Gloriana (my fav real history  babe), ready to step in the pond with MP.

No it won't but you and Tuna and I and anyone else interested should start up a Civ V game. In fact, before Tuna went sleepy time last night he was lamenting the fact it was a school night otherwise he'd have contacted you for a game.

Yeah the proposed 'new' game when I told Barth I needed to get to Bed, was to ping you, since you were online.  O0

Playing "Polaris Sector". May try Homeworld: deserts of Kharak" for my future land battle fix

I probably will spend some time on the season 5 wizard I started this week in Diablo 3. Just one more task to complete to finish chapter 4 and get the season rewards. When I tried it last night I got my ass handed to me, so I don't know if I'll complete it before the season ends in 2 weeks.

I will also spend some time with Polaris Sector and possibly Master of Orion. I could see some Battlefield 4 happening as well since I've been in the mood.

The other thing I undoubtedly will be doing is some of my development work and testing for the next Red Hat kernel release. Still a couple months before our development deadline, but I have a number of tasks to still finish.

When i can i will squeeze in Polaris Sector, its one of those 'ill go to bed after the research is finished, dammit, ill go to bed after ive attacked those pirates, goddamit ill go after ive colonised that planet' games

I will be chasing girlie Australians across the desert in WitP AE PBEM with KyzBP

thats about it - going to London on Sunday, first time in 2 years having worked there 50% of the year for the last 15 years

have a good weekend all

Absolute craziness no doubt coming tomorrow in this weekend's installment(s) of DC3:Barbarossa with Barth. Also, disaster. (I feel safe predicting that each week since I'm playing Russia, but I feel safer predicting it this week.)

Keeping an eye out for Windy so we can do that XCOM2 multiplayer game.

I found a local group who has recently just discovered Dawn of War: Soulstorm, so I'll be looking to multiplay that this weekend somewhat.

Somewhat to my surprise, after I finished Ryse: Son of Rome last weekend, I've chugged along on finishing the second half of the WH40K: Space Marine 3PS brawler. That may continue.

I feel the call of a bunch of other games, but nothing specifically strong enough to guess at playing.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

You're a Red Hat dev?  That's awesome!  Much respect to you, sir.  Congrats on the recent $2bn milestone! O0

Thanks. Yes, I'm on the kernel platform enablement team.

That sounds Really Important!  At a guess, you help to ensure the kernel works on the various architectures you support?

Just picked up Endless Legend and Man of War 2 Complete edition on Gamersgate's one day deals 66% off!

I also saw WW1 Centennial Edition going for £4.50. A great (but complex to learn) WW1 strategic level game that hasn't been available for a while, but obviously is now. O0
