FRI-FRIDAY

Happy weekend, Grogs! Other than the heat wave and mowing the lawn, this weekend will have some games, too. My ongoing games of M2TW as Turkey and the mp mess that is my Civ IV BtS game. Some dueling will be in order in Arena. And music. Always music.

I managed to get through the craziness of the last two weeks.

Similarly besides mowing the yard also (hopefully early as hell tomorrow morning) and potentially getting the wifey a new vehicle I have lots of gaming planned.

Off the top of my head, Factorio, Satisfactory, AssCreed Odyssey, maybe some RPGs, maybe some switch gaming.

Also want to get some tabletop going either solo or with the kids.

Excellent song choice MD. Trying once again to wrap my old brain around CAMO this weekend.

Investing a lot of time lately into Wreckfest and more particularly the online racing and have discovered that I'm a firm "back of the field," kind of guy.

Seeing as Vettel is getting ready to go, I may have a shot at a Ferrari slot come next year.

Drive on fellow grogs! And stay safe!

This week has felt like a month. Glad to see it go. Love me some David Bowie too.

Will continue with my Order of Battle: Morning Sun campaign (Japan in China 1937) and perhaps some Flying Tigers: Shadows Over China.

Getting into an RPG mood so perhaps Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights: Diamond, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Diablo III and/or Dragon Age: Inquisition too as well.

^Flying Tigers: Shadow Over China?

Oooh let me know if you can get it to work. I have that game and it ran fine on my old Win7 machine but when I got my current rig which is a Win10 machine the game refuses to launch from Steam. Can't figure out why.

Gusington · July 17, 2020, 09:39:34 AM

Hmm...my rig is a Windows 8.1 system and never had any issues with it. Runs like buttah.

Excellent song choice!

Probably will take a break from wargaming this weekend. It will be Taco Saturday for us along with margaritas and beer.

I will be continuing with my new necromancer character in Diablo III and some The Last of Us. Maybe more of Golf with Your Friends with the girlfriend.

Good gaming and stay safe this weekend, Grogs!

Probably a lot of PS4 with Ghosts of Tsushima that finally released! Otherwise, maybe some No Man's Sky, DCS and Ghost Recon Breakpoint with the latest 2.1 patch that added AI teammates...yes, they suck.

Honestly, I liked that there weren't teammates in the game; made me pay more attention to things rather than, "eh, Bob'll get 'em."

If/when I ever reload the game, I'll have to give 'em a spin.

JH post impressions of Ghosts of Tsushima! I so wish it was available on PC :/

Myrmidon · July 17, 2020, 02:13:00 PM

Ongoing Dominions 5 Multiplayer for me. In between that, I've transitioned back to World of Warships wreaking havoc in my Furutaka and Aoba Japanese cruisers... I always forget how much fun that game is, and I don't get mean playing it like I do if I play too much World of Tanks.

So far it is absolutely fantastic. I've been waiting for a new samurai title for a very long time.

The story is very engrossing and the combat feels like it has the potential to be fairly deep and rewarding. The graphics and sounds are great and it just seems like a very mature game on the PS4. By mature, I mean it really takes advantage of the console, and I imagine that it stretches its capabilities to the limit. This is a great title to close out the catalog on the PS4.

Anyway, I've only just finished the prologue. I've got some damaged armor, my family katana and a new horse. I'm ready for revenge!

For me, it looks like a World of Warships and a Hell Let Loose weekend.

Dammit JH I was hoping you would say it sucked :-[

Hope springs eternal however as Sony has been rumored to be more open to porting their hot PS titles, including Bloodborne soon and hopefully Tsushima at some point.
