The Friday Thread

Visit wife in hospital

My prayers are with you friend.

How did I miss this? My thoughts and prayers are with you and her.

I should call this the Saturday Thread as I have to work tomorrow, so today is like my Thursday.  In any event, my weekend will be taken up with various Warlock games, solo and MP and some Civ IV BTS MP goodness.

More Republic of Satsuma in FOTS
Maybe some circa 1979 Bismarck with the old AH boardgame.

I am also in the same boat as LB for Rise of Flight, but I am shopping around. Would I be making a mistake if I gof the TrackIR 4? Also...if I get a TrackIR does everything I need come in the box? I have seen a thng called the TrackClip for sale...what is that?

Would be worth familiarising yourself with the game even before TIR purchase - mapping the controls is quite time-consuming.  As I said before I don't own a TIR, but I'd be pretty sure you get everything you need in the box.  I do actually have a Track-Clip Pro - I cheated and bought it (costs around $30?) rather than making my own.  What it is is an array of three IRLEDs which you clip onto your head set.  It works fine but is VERY fragile; mine is now held together with duct tape, matchsticks and blu-tac.

I think the "basic" TIR4 set includes a clip (just clip, not "pro", I think) with Hi-Vis type reflective strips on it which you place on a base-ball cap.  The camera which you mount on your monitor contains IRLEDs itself and the set-up works by reflections from the reflectors on your cap.  You can also use the Track-Clip Pro with this set up.  I'm afraid I can't tell you whether it's worth getting the TCP over the basic model.

*Edit: I see others have already posted the relevant stuff, sorry*

Anyway, to keep this post OT, I shall be Roffing tonight and will perhaps bash away a bit at Road to Mounteburg at some point over the weekend.  I'm finding it quite tough tbh, but I keep gleaning little game-play tips - not tactics, just how the game works - which improve my enjoyment

Sorry to hear this, TGB. :(

Myself, I will be playing Eador: Genesis, Conquest of Elysium 3 and Minecraft, which I mistakenly introduced my lady and daughter to, so now I never get use of the PC. :(

[Boggit]

Messing around with CMSF, CMBN, CMFI, SB:FWW, SC:WW1 Breakthrough, some AGEOD stuff - probably AJE, if I can get thro' that lot and have any spare time then maybe some Total War dabbling or Supreme Ruler 2020 Gold. Oh, well the dream was good........... ::) 8)

@Tgb :)
Sorry to hear your wife is ill. I hope she gets better soon.

[Huw the Poo]

Oh, and I've just been accepted into the closed beta of a certain game...  :-X

MD - maybe we can get our MP Warlock game back on the go. As of now, Mrs.B aint cut any orders for me, so I should be off the hook all damn weekend - woot!

[Huw the Poo]

masters of the broken world?

Ha!  I wish!

[Arctic Blast]

Well, after 7 hours of play I am just not getting in to Dishonored at all. So that's getting shelved. I had progressed a fair ways in Max Payne 3, only for 3 or 4 levels worth of advancement to disappear. Weeeeeee! That's a bit off putting so far as continuing with it for the time being.

So it's either going to be Alan Wake, which I tried and enjoyed a few weeks ago. Or I replay Mass Effect 2 to play up a character to carry in to Mass Effect 3. Not sure which it'll be.

[Gusington]

What don't you like about Dishonored?

[Nefaro]

War Thunder

Some Scourge Of War: Gettysburg multiplayer, perhaps.

[bob48]

Messing aboot with Earth 2160.
