Looks like the weekend will be a wash thanks to the hurricane; hope any affected are safe and sound.

Need to catch up on my World of Tanks and World of Warships stuff - don't know if I can do all those missions to get the T-44-100 but danged if I ain't going to try (still going to have to buy tokens as I generally just focus on one to two nationalities and one to two lines at one time and I've been nursing a Soviet / Chinese focused thing since forever). Catch is, my skillz in WoT are rrruuusssttyy, so I expect a big dip in my W/L and Damage output stats.

So glad I took the time off of WoT in terms of cooling off the typical toxic behavior symbolic of those games, but the re-learn time in regards to skills/tanks/etc. is always painful.

Dammit did you say you were Roy Orbison? If so, I tried to ping you the other night. My nick is HTuna

Not sure about gaming this weekend, but its a 4-day weekend for me.....

Today-Bar, Tomorrow-Watching college football at a bar, Sunday-Probably at bar again, Monday-Bar for my fantasy football draft

I am sensing a theme for myself this weekend:)

Damn, there goes Tuesday. I already did my fantasy draft, I wasn't much good the next day.

I could say ill play this or continue my campaign in that but I'll probably be in 7 days to die. Although I just received the osprey Atlas of the eastern front 41-45 ( 60% off) so DCB could be an option.

I live in Jacksonville so we're on the outskirts of it. Nothing really to talk about other than it's blustery and some rain. Hope you're doing ok!

Yup - Also go by "Dammit_Carl," in WoT as well as "Roy_Orbison," too (long story). In WoWs, I'm just flat out "Roy_Orbison." I've got all you guys' (points at screen) names in my "friends," list as far as I know. Need names for WoT now that I think about it.

Sorry if I missed your call as I'm spotty as shit when it comes to actually sitting down and playing for anything more than one or two rounds in either WoT or WoWs and just flipping back and forth between my accounts in general. Very ADHD in a way. I need some Adderall. Ooo, look over there....

WYBaugh: I'm in Western NC, so I should be good but thanks for the well wishes.

Her-Mean passed way north of me but she's dumped about 5 inches of rain on me. So, I guess I'll just have to stay inside and...... play games? :'(

Pride of Nations-- teaching the Tribal masses to appreciate the joys of colonization and finding someplace that sells coffee at a decent price. 8)

Pride of Nations, excellent choice. There's supposed to be a final patch for it due out any time now according to the AGEOD forum.

I like it BB but it sure does have a lot of moving parts to it. I don't think I will live long enough to play Russia with all of it's 5000 regions-- seems like. But it is addictive.

I forgot to mention Twilight Struggle. I think the tournament over at Quarter2three starts this weekend.

New MoO will probably be my focus but I've just bought Titan Quest AE so I think that may distract me quite a bit.

Anguille · September 02, 2016, 01:37:33 PM

I think i will play mostly the following games:

- Field of Glory with Boggit (hope it works)
- Master of Orion CtS...a long campaign with the Burlathis on hard.
- Oriental Empires

and some

- Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds....i've just started the campaign as the Count Dooku.....muahahah

I think i'll also play some Crusaders Kings II....just bought for 50 $ of DLCs on steam....can't imagine how someone can buy all these at full price...it's just crazy.

Four day weekend for me. Was originally planning on getting out for some late summer hiking or shooting, but its already looking like fall here in the PNW aka its raining. Probably just going to make it four days on non-stop gaming.

Elite: Made a couple of really cool discoveries this week. If my data is correct I got my first first discovery of an unexplored system, which means a +50% credit bonus when I go to sell the data. No habitable planets but the system was full of high metal worlds, and a few gas giants with water based life. Given how heavily explored and traveled the area I'm in, I was really shocked to see no one had discovered it yet. A couple of hours later I found my first earth-like outside of the human bubble. Didn't get first discovery on that one but it should still yield a good amount of credits when I get back.

I'm really thinking of buying a second copy of Elite and Horizons. As much fun as I find exploring it does get tedious and boring after awhile and I'd like to be able to break it up with a little bit of combat or trading. This will also allow me to keep my first commander out exploring without needing to rush home to participate in community events.

World of Warcraft: New expansion released on Tuesday. Been taking up most of my time this week. Questing is still the same old go here and collect X or kill X number of enemies. But I'm still really enjoying it. Almost all the major quests have some sort of voice overs. For the time being its replaced Diablo 3 as my mindless time sync game.

Crusader Kings 2: Started a new Let's Play series of this on my livestream this morning. Playing as the Habsburgs again. Unfortunately, early going as a count can be pretty boring to watch. Think I'm going to play through the first 20-50 years offline, then start recording videos for YouTube.

I'm sure they'll be some CMANO beta testing and scenario design sometime this weekend too.
