I've got a FRIDAY for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it!

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?

Yes, we work with partners to make sure their hardware with the upstream kernel and the Red Hat kernel. So the team is upstream kernel people like Steve Rostedt, John Linville, Jes Sorensen, and then me. :)

All this talk of kernels has made me crave popcorn, and curiously given me the urge to play Kerbal Space Program. Otherwise, the rest is all greek.

Going to play a bit of Call to Arms and I will try the new demo of CM: The final Blitzkrieg
That is, due to many social activities with wife friends of house warming BBQs and getting wasted...etc

I had no idea Vyshka was an inside man.

JH: it may be Great Wolf, honestly the less I know about it the better. What I do know is that my older daughter wanted to go to a Knicks game and when I priced tickets it was 600+ dollahs for 5 of us to go, to which I promptly responded with 'no effing way.' So now there's this.

The Wife will be with us, thank God. Do I still get the Order of Lenin?

Didn't realize we had some tri-staters here. On principle alone I try to avoid the city. I can count the fingers of one hand the last time I went there in the last decade

Sorry, posting on phone sux. Anyway...I would think you'd have more fun at GWL than a knicks game...I know at least you'll have much better lifelong memories!

It's going to be a D&D weekend.  Fantasy Grounds tonight with Bison and Idlewilder and a couple of others.  There should be ample time for some Civ IV mp and whatever else I choose.  The only thing I am not looking forward to is the lawn mowing.  Welcome Spring!

Not exactly my style of music but I am blown away!  The band is only two guys!?  Pretty amazing what sound they can get from just bass and drums.

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

The weird provisions of the lawsuit mean that the game can be sold on Gamersgate, with a Steam key I think, but not sold on Steam, nor supported anywhere.

So it isn't really any more available than it has been since the lawsuit.

I sure hope things get ironed out eventually so that Matrix or whoever will come back to supporting WW1G. It still needs some bugfixes; my Absolute Newbie campaign crashed and burned out of the gate due to an unexpected game-killing bug in the CentEdition. (I haven't tested whether the Matrix edition has that bug, partly because it may difficult to replicate without hacking the game data somehow to trigger the same situation.)

Meanwhile, I have been authorized by the developers of Matrixlitherine's upcoming new game, Virtual General -- an Occulus Rift supported immersive Civil War troop management simulator, developed I think by the developer who holds the rights to the Take Command series (not whoever went on to do Scourge of War) -- to offer ten closed beta keys here on Grogheads!

I already claimed one myself, so that leaves nine over. Due to the massive technological leaps involved in producing and supporting this game, the beta keys must be paid for, but I think if you read the link the offer sounds worth it.

If you agree, you may use Paypal to send me $150, or about the cost of early access to Planetary Annihilation, and once the funds have transferred and I've sent them on to Matrix, I'll email you the download link and a code.

No.

Will be testing out and maybe doing a gameplay video for the beta of Combined Arms Operations series by NS2. Trying to get through the online tutorials. But oh my god can a dev make a wargame tutorial without sounding like they are incredibly bored. Its like listening to Will Smith in After Earth talk about corps structure

Also testing out panzer campaigns for the first time. And continuing the battle of waterloo

[-budd-]

I'll be playing waiting for Barthheart and Jason's DC3 pbem update :) also i'll  be murdering zombies and building my tower compound with OJ's help  in 7 days to Die

I wonder what today is. ;)

I would like to see someone develop something like vassal or tabletop simulator for oculus, vive, and hololens.
