Kushan



It's Thanksgiving this week here in the states, which means a 4 day weekend for some of us. If all goes as planned I'll be out of the office by 2 tomorrow. Not planning to even think about work until Monday.

Haven't got much gaming in this last week due to a death in the family. With schedules at least returning to normal, I'm planning to lock myself in my man cave and do nothing but game for most of the weekend.

Elite: Still hanging out around Orion/Barnards Loop. Taken me 4-5 months to get there, now my OCD is making it hard to leave. I know its not practical to scan and survey every system but every system I visit is offering a different perspective. Its hard to not fly around mashing the screenshots key or saying "Take Screenshot" into VoiceAttack every 5 seconds. Going to do one more pass through the outburst of stars that extends out from Orion, then do a "quick" loop through Bardnards. After that I'm still planning on moving towards the core. Hoping to spend some time with my second account as well this weekend. I've had it for a little over a month now and haven't done anything except create my commanders name. With events coming to a head back in the bubble I really need to get on it if I have any chance of being able to participate when the aliens arrive.

CMANO: I recently started working again on my next modern Cauldron scenario. I have all the US/UK and EU air bases mapped in Google Earth and an OOB for both sides. Need to get the bases transfered into the game via import files next. After that it should be a matter of adding units to airbases and setting up missions. Unlike my first scenario I'm not planning on having a lot of complex scripting in one. How much i get done is going to depend on how much time I lose to Elite.

There's bound to be some World of Warcraft mixed in somewhere too. Cities: Skyline, CK2, or Stellaris are possible as well.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

Are you on a alternate calendar, Kushan? :D It's wednesday where I live.  :knuppel2:

Anyway, over the weekend I am bound to be playing Battlefield 1, continue my learning to play War in the East, return my PBEM turns for Combat Mission (BS and BN), sprinkle over some MMO-ness with continueing the story in Final Fantasy 14 and probably delve into some tabletop wargaming with Advanced Squad Leader.

Looks like a fine weekend!

Depends on what games you buy between now and then, right?

  I think Kushan's reading of the Fridayness of this Wednesday makes perfect sense for those of us who are almost American Indian enough to say "Welcome to our Continent"....as for me, I'm heading up to the farm which has the gaming computer up in the manloft and I should be able to play such things as Combat Mission and Graviteam and ARMAIII and Attila:Charlemagne and CMANO if I don't get derailed onto the floor to play Close Action or Chariots of Fire or SPQR or something.  Anyway, lots of possibilities.

I have the first Christmas party to attend on Friday night with GFs work - a Florida based company so god help me if Star turns up

When I can see again there will be total war dwarves, been away a while and the campaign needs sorting

Civ 6 - the first Greek bomber is about to roll off the line and I have colonisation cassus bellis against India and Scythia

Now I have managed to get the ultimate mod working on a steam knights of honour I'll be watching a few lets plays as a tutorial seen as the HD mod has broken the in game one - all the arrows and buttons on the Ui are out of line - and then we'll be launching a Spanish campaign

MetalDog

There will be lots of football and lots of food over the next four days.  Saturday will be a potluck/D&D extravaganza with some returning players.  No doubt there will be some Civ IV mp and if things get quiet, I might break out Alea Jacta Est or Shogun 2 Total War.  Gus says I should.

Listen to the 'Great Gus'. Both games are excellent. I wish I had enough time to do another Shogun 2 campaign with the Darthmod.  :D

Yeah that's pretty cruel for us Old Worlders...I guess his logic is that Friday is a national holiday, which in effect makes today the day before the day before....Actually, that's still not right - we're in a faux Thursday thread!

Hello. I will be playing Witcher 3, of course. About 50 hours in and only 15% complete.

Anyone who is able should play Witcher 3 right now, after winning a Shogun 2 campaign.

Actually...I think I am ready to make a switch. I think I am going to start playing Assassin's Creed - Rogue :)

I am trying very hard NOT to get sucked-in to the Holiday sales already spreading everywhere while at the same time, not wanting to wait too long to give-in so that I miss a really great deal. It's a fine line of pretend virtue.  \m/
