For Malcolm.

There will be Elite Dangerous and sussing out the new systems

There will be Rome II and the Spartans

There will be making a volcano for juniors school project, and then tobogonnaning with junior

Have a great weekend guys

I actually brought the album just on the strength of that track.

To me, AC/DC was one of rock's great bands until the singer opened his mouth and ruined it all. They should have stuck to instrumentals. Sorry, just my honest opinion.

I totally agree with you. He does not so much sing as scream.
'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers'

'Clip those corners'

Recombobulate the discombobulators!

A metric tonne (see, I spelled it differently because it's metric and that's foreign), of rehearsals and shows this weekend, but:

1.  CM:RT
2.  CM:BN...finally winding down a months-long game of "Monty's Butchers" PBEM.  Exceptional scenario utterly ruined for me by three crummy Panthers.
3.  Campaign Leipzig
4.  Memoir '44 with the boy.  We're almost done with the base scenarios, but I really want to set up one of the "D-Day Landings" double scenarios
5.  Saturday night is targeted for "Zombie 15 Minutes"
6.  All y'all talking about Rome II have almost got me persuaded they've un-fargled the game.  Still not quite persuaded, but ever part of me wants to believe you.
7.  PzC Normandy if Vance can suss out this complicated "computer" thing.
8.  And I got a Steam gift card for my birthday.  This, of course, only made the Steam Paradox sale worse because there's nothing more horrid than an awesome sale and a full Steam wallet to remind one that you've already bought every damned game you wanted and HOIIV isn't out until 2015.

Best,

Jim

I've been playing mostly Jack & Shit lately.  And an occasional short stretch of AOW3 or Wasteland 2.

Been in another funk the last couple weeks.  :idiot2:

And Armenia still sings its siren song for me in Rome 2.

  Speaking of Rome II...I'm out of there til Attila comes.  And for CKII....not until Charlemagne turns up.  Plus I dumped CLOD so the only flight sims I have are RoF, BoS and DCS.

  So this weekend (while the less gamey parts of the family are still in Tuscany), its some flight sims, some ARMAIII (the 4-year-old likes diving down to the wrecks and so on), some WitPAE PBEM (the Allies still have substantial   naval units in the Pacific) and Wintergewitter in boardgame form.

I got into AC/DC when Brian was fronting them. When I heard Bon Scott, though...his voice had a mellower side that Brian's didn't. Brian's voice can sound like fingernails down a chalkboard sometimes, and I prefer Scott's voice, but AC/DC still rules.

Heh...I am going home early from work today to do exactly that! :D

Tell you what, I need SPProPE practice and am probably not good against humans.

I'll jump into an APC and let you chase me over the North German plan, cackling maniacally as I go...should be an hoot.

Decisive Campaigns WtP: Case Yellow where my panzers have just captured Abbeville and crossed the Marne on the way to Paris. Looks like the Fat Lady will be singing in German soon and then I'll go back to Skyrim for a bit. I haven't fed my dog Meeko there for some time. He likes Skeever tails.

Couldn't find any dark Halloweenish fantasy games for this month that I hadn't already played to death -- other than the new Mordor game, I guess, which I want but may wait for a sale and/or the PS3 release next month as a birthday gift (along with !!ARKHAM KNIGHT!!).

So earlier this week I started writing up and screenshotting my next AAR, which won't be a narrative this time, but more of an instructional play-as-I-go tutorial of an older game that gets a lot of bad press but which is still the fullest game of the topic currently available -- even with a couple of undoubtedly much better expansions of definitely much better game systems arriving soon this season but not here yet -- thus explaining why I'm playing this game while waiting for at least one of those DLCs to finally release...


.... yes, that seems sufficiently obscure enough.  >:D

Will continue this for the weekend, but I want to get sufficiently far enough along to ensure I'll have enough material to make an AAR worth the time to post and read. Otherwise I'd only be invading the AAR section for not a great purpose.

So to speak.

Ahem.

AHEM!
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I don't really know what to play this weekend.  I'm desperately trying to finish a book I've read before to get it fresh in my mind for the next one, so I may just do that.  But if I do play anything, it will be:

CS:GO
Hexcells
Prison Architect
Strife

I wish you would come back to WOFF and participate in the Campaigns that Rick Rawlins has organized. It's loads of fun.

As for this weekend, definitely more Wings Over Flanders Fields, and I'm starting to feel in the subsim mood. I may install and mod up Silent Hunter 4. Not sure, though. I'm kinda searching for another game to play when I'm not flying WOFF.

Apocalypse 31

Battle Academy 2 - currently 5 coop games going, and I'll look for more.
Steel Beasts with DoW
Maybe some Insurgency to scratch my FPS itch.
