Song gets even better with the Leo Moracchioli treatment:

Will be alternating between World Of Warships and Cold Waters.

Was hoping for a bug fix beta or two on the latter, for the weekend.  But no go.  It'll get some heavy play/petting for a long time, so no worries.   


Hrmm.  Navy themed run & gun.  Navy themed cat & mouse.....      I guess this means my weekend is full of seamen.

I went to the Southern Fried Game Expo this weekend.

I played a lot of pinball.  A lot of pinball.  A whole lot of pinball.  I rolled a couple of machines (that means you go past the max score and start over) and got my highest score ever on a couple of machines.

Of the brand new pinball machines:
Aerosmith was pretty good.
Batman (1960s) was Awesome!
Houdini was very good.
ACDC was very bad.  There is a severe playfield flaw that causes the ball to drain straight down the playfield about 50% of the time after you launch the ball or put it back up the field to increase the x-times bonus.  This became very clear throughout the weekend until people were not playing it very much at all.
I did not play the Wizard of Oz game.  There was a constant line and there was only one of those machines at the venue.

I liked Batman as much as I like Mars Attacks which is one of my favorite releases in the last 8 years or so.

Some arcade games (mainly racing and shooting).

I played Pathfinder Card Game for the first time.  Maybe I can play the set my wife gave me a year and a half ago.

I played Fluxx and was not that impressed.  Probably a good kids game but, not that impressed.

I also played some Marvel Munchkin.

A game expo devoted to the silver ball? Man i really need to start looking for these things. Glad you enjoyed!

It's becoming increasingly more difficult to predict my weekend gaming activities. I troll YouTube and steam a lot looking for game releases, early access titles, and mods I may have missed. I more often than not find something.

This weekend I found a few impressive mods for the original Crysis. This game has always been considered the best of the series, and with the mods running it's hard to believe to it's a 10 year game. Technically, the game was well ahead of its time and at release, it was capable of doing things that current generation hardware just couldn't support.

Running with a graphics mod at 4K the game looks better than many AAA titles being released today and with a tactical expansion mod, it plays better than most current gen twitch shooters.

So, of course, most of my weekend was spent playing a game I bought 10 years ago. Although I did play some Cold Waters, the balance of my game time was spent with a great mod for Men of War AS2. It models The American Revolution, Civil War and fighting out west. I played mostly the Battle of Bunker Hill. Very impressive mod, especially since it was made by a bunch of Russians. LoL. I plan on doin a Let's Play of this mod eventually, just to help get the word out. There are so many awesome mods for this game. The game system and editor are just so flexible. You can model practically anything...

[JudgeDredd]

Well - Cold Waters and Star Wars:Rebellion boardgame pulled me away from Ghost Recon:Wildlands - at least temporarily

[Gusington]

My Gothic Empire was virtually destroyed by the Sassanids and the Garamantians (sp?)...we were pushed back all the way across the Med from where we came from and wracked by civil war too. We have one wrecked province left 😞

[Sir Slash]

My Goths aren't doing so well either. I headed for Constantinople but the Dacians were already there and took the place ahead of me. I created them as a Vassal and now they own all of the Balkans practically.  :o  I NEVER do that good in my other campaigns. So we head for Italy but there's a traffic jam of other factions ahead of my guys backed-up to Salona. So I've settled for whacking some little factions just for something to do beside camp and build things. Kind of boring.

[Gusington]

Yeah Attila can get dull sometimes when the objective is to just survive, but that didn't happen in my current Goth campaign. I had some great build-up, then reached my gothic event horizon at the gates of Antioch...where the Sassanids took notice. I was the number 2 faction in the world, behind them. Then they laid the smackdown, hard, declared war with about 20 allies and satrapies, and reduced me to about #55. I bounced back last night and consolidated my one remaining city (Corinth), and now have one full stack army. I'm also making a bit of money. But I did get body-slammed, hard, Sassanid style.

[Sir Slash]

And they seem so friendly when you first meet them. They are all, "Hello, we are Sassanids and VERY happy you've come to the neighborhood. By the way, do you prefer cremation, burial, or just being left to be eaten by buzzards"? Fooled me.

[Gusington]

They didn't even slow down their steamroller for me! All the other factions stood around and laughed...until they turned the steamroller around and went bug nutty throughout the Med!
