Dammit, *I* Get To Start a Friday Thread This Time!

Lessee...
Grimrock II with the boy...discovered that the AI has figured out the "run for the nearest closable door" trick and will send MOBs around behind you to cut off your retreat.  Nothing more glorious than getting shellacked by ratlings.  Then again, when you're wielding a femur for a weapon, what does one expect?

Best,

  Wow!  This is about the only intersection with anything I'm thinking of doing this week-end game-wise!  I might play some Grimlock II.

  Other than that: BoS, DCS, Spintires, boardgames and the eternal WitpAE PBEM.  The reserve-plane auxiliary carriers are starting to arrive!
But the Japs still have maybe 18 carriers of various sizes or roughly 2.5 KBs.  I have 12 counting the Long Island.  That's August 1942 without Coral Sea or Midway.

I'm still making very slow progress in the Sea Lion scen. for Decisive Campaigns WtP. I love this game because I don't need the keyboard to play. I can just kick back and use the mouse. If a game's going to put it's digital foot in my ass, as this one frequently does,  then at least I can be comfortable while it happens. 8)

This weekend will be all Beyond Earth. So far, so good.

What do you think of AssCreed III LB? Out of all the AssCreeds, that's he AssCreed I enjoyed the least.

Haven't tried Black Flag yet.

AssCreed.

Is AssCreed some kind of arse law you live by or something?

I decided to torture myself this weekend by seeing if I could get the STEP mod system to work for Skyrim.  Has anyone else given this a try?  http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9

I spent about 3 hours on this last night and got, I dunno, 10% through the installation process.  It's kinda effing insane how elaborate modding has become for some games... perhaps TES games especially. 

All I know is, if I can actually get this all to work in a stable, playable way, I'll count that as 'winning a game 'in its own right.  It's sad that I have spent more time modding TES than actually playing it....

[BanzaiCat]

I don't know about that Skyrim mod...I did the 'Live Another Life' mod and the 'Extra Encounters' one without issue...is STEP through the Steam Workshop as well?

[sandman2575]

It's kinda confusing. STEP's not actually a mod -- it's a procedure for installing a s**tload of mods and utilities in a way that (presumably) should not lead to conflicts / instability. The mods are meant to 'enhance' everything from without altering vanilla gameplay, or at least not too much anyway.

[JasonPratt]

Also it's meant to setup a base enhanced install which can then be modified with Packs of further mods.

I like the idea a lot, and may fiddle with it soon!

Tonight, though, I need to finish my 10-year compiled catchup post for my CK2 AAR; and tomorrow there will be nieces. Lo, the birthday of the microniece approaches and tomorrow shall be fulfilled!  ;D

I'm still rudderless in my gaming pursuits. 


On the table:

Want to learn Mage Wars and Bloody April.

Should finally get my two Great Battles Of History titles in today from GMT (ancient Greek/Persian and Sengoku Jidai battles).  So one of those may get some attention instead.

Paint boardgame minis.  Still halfway through doing all my Descent heroes, Star Trek Fleet Captain ships (Federation and Romulans left).  Also a bunch of Cold War era jet minis for CY6: Jet Age/Star & Crescent pack that never get painted because I still need to glue the matching magnets onto them and their stands (which I hate).   

I've been feeling like I have only heaped a bunch of chores on myself with all this stuff so maybe I'll just unwind with some CK2 or WOFF/ROF instead.

Imperialism II - By popular voting of the Grogs I will be starting a AAR of Imperialism II.  I hope to have this done in maybe a week as we try to become a trading powerhouse.

B-17 Queen of the Skies - The next mission in the Grog Community AAR of the B-17 Grog Wagon.  We start mission 2 which we will attack an Airfield at St. Omer. 

Crusader Kings II - I have a Wessex game going right now to claim my rightful pass as King of England.  So the struggle continues to claim my place in history.

B-17 Mighty Eighth - I've played quit a few missions and will probably do this Strike Fighter Vietnam or FSX to get my flying fix in.  Who know though.....


Other possibilities: Eador Genesis with New Horizons mod, Xenonauts, SM Colonization, Distant Worlds w/ Star Trek Mod.
