When FRIDAY cries

[MengJiao]

CMANO, continuing to slowly get into NF8. End of the semester grading is kicking my butt!

Maybe some CMANO.  Very sad about Prince!  It must have been summery when Purple Rain came out because I remember running through a thunderstorm to get to the theater.

In other news, Panzer Battles Normandy is the Game of the Week!  A beautiful game and really extraordinarily well-made.  I've played scores of Normandy games and this one is by far the best.  I got the 23rd Hussars going in the Beny Bocage scenario.  They were first off the mark despite having a C-morale (versus A for 3RTR), but I think I'm going to have to adjust them to at least B.

I'm also very seriously considering playing the 3 Days in 7 Hours mod for Scourge of War: Gettysburg.  I've been reading a good book on Gettysburg and it has me in the mood to do some gaming.  I haven't tried the mod yet, but my understanding is that it plays the three days in three consecutive segments, carrying over casualties from one day to another.  I think you have to play it at Army command level, which is what has put me off trying it thus far...I am most definitely not ready for that responsibility yet.

Funny, but I'm considering playing some Scourge of War: Gettysburg myself. I'm just finishing up reading "Gettysburg" by Stephen Sears. I really like his writing style. What book are you reading, Toonces?

I'm also trying to finish Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13, but the AI is getting brutally efficient near the end.

After my bumbling abortive attempt at Dark Souls III (refunded... but I'm weak-willed and will prob. pick it up again on sale at some point), I decided to actually try to get into Witcher III.  Not sure how far I'll actually get, since I am terrible at the combat, but even after only putting a few hours into this, man, I'm just overwhelmed by the game as an artistic achievement. It's almost unbelievable what CDProjektRed pulled off in creating this. I'm truly in awe.

Will probably continue my Kampfgruppe Peiper campaign in the excellent CM Final Blitzkrieg. Just finished the 3rd battle, crossing the bridge at Stavelot. Man, that is a brutal (and huge) scenario. But man do I love "take that bridge at all costs!" missions -- so much fun. And close-quarters street fighting in CM is always a huge rush for me. A frustrating meat-grinder in many ways, but gritty and intense!

Hey PE, what mods are you running for Xenonauts?

[Sir Slash]

I liked Prince's music too though the man was a little harder to get excited about. But a whole lot of young ladies got excited about him back in the day and that was a very good thing. The games I play now are of a different sort, less exciting but much safer. With that said, I will be playing Pillars of Eternity to take a break from Civil War II which itself was a break from CMBN. The weekend demands it's own time and a lighter atmosphere plus I can play Pillars after a couple of drinks and not lose a whole war in one sitting. Have a great weekend Grogs.

I'll be spending time with Polaris Sector, Star Ruler 2, Ashes of the Singularity, and 8-bit Armies if I pick that up.

I watched the following 2 videos yesterday. His playing at the end of this version of 'My Guitar Gently Weeps' is great, and his being able to play Purple Rain at the Super Bowl in the middle of a rain storm seemed like a wonderful event.

I got Kerbal Space Program with a nice discount, but I feel lazy to learn it right now.

I've played this one before it was released on Steam and just picked up the Steam version.  It is one of the best survivor games I have played.  It is hard though, and does not hold your hand..... I've enjoyed it and have kept coming back to.

Anyone plan on picking up BattleFleet Gothic: Armada? 

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, I *hate* (can't emphasize that enough) the entire Warhammer cosmos. On the other hand.... huge capital ships trading broadsides with eachother. Huge customizable ships. (And are they really any more ridiculous than some of the SOTS alien vessels that I'm more than content enough to play against?  Hmmm...)

[Greybriar]

Since I just purchased Order of Battle: Pacific and Order of Battle: Morning Sun this morning, that's what I will be playing this weekend.

To break monotony, I will also be playing another game I picked up recently, Train Valley. This one surprised me because I didn't expect I'd like it. But I was so pleased with it that I purchased both it and its DLC after playing around with its free demo for awhile.
