Sir Slash

I'm trying to make some progress with my long ignored CM campaigns-- very slow progress. Mostly just helping the enemy to test the accuracy of their guns. actually. Along with some more Rome 2 and rum to help fight my cold.

Going to finish up the Advanced Warfare campaign.

The computer cannily smacked me good in my Last Nestorian King CK2 (Charlemagne) Campaign earlier this week, but I married off my adoring anti-Christ daughter into a petty Ethiopian subkingdom as a tyke bomb, and if I can keep my war going long enough with that new promoted peasant sheik up on the Arabian mainland I should be able to catch back up and try invading him again this week. Assuming my daughter doesn't bring about the end of the world or otherwise open up some opportunities on the African mainland.

May continue the frankly amazing modern Ghostbusters video game, too; and start getting into the new Buzz Aldrin remake/expansion.

Trying to get a feel for WITE 1.08 beta and how the new rules relate to battles , also come up with plans for the Axis forces to romp eastward.

I'm burning brain cells I can't afford to lose. :)

Would like to hear your 'feel' for the update. I haven't had time to check it out. Anything drastically changed?

Arctic Blast

Cleaning Out Parents Basement So Their Reno Can Start Monday is one I don't recommend. The graphics are drab and repetitive, and the game concepts are tired and dusty.

Finalizing Car Purchase is an example of a great game with a really boring prequel section. I hope to finish the prequel.

If I have time beyond that, Shadow of Mordor is a good bet for more play.

Tuna Wings MP would be cool...I'm not home tonight but home the rest of the weekend. Wouldn't think you guys would like Wings....not hardcore enough...

You now have to develop a game called Tuna Wings. This must be a thing that exists.

Hello Rayfer,
So far I haven't noticed anything that I'd call drastic.

It looks like morale is easier to gain by winning battles (or lose by losing them.)  I'm feeling I've been getting more scouts than I used to instead of losses as the Axis.

I also believe that support units are helping the cause with more frequency during hasty attacks and I believe I see it more often in defense as well than in past patches..

Those are opinions and nothing scientific.  :) ;)

The point system has definitely been tweaked for the better so it's easier to move support units at lower costs in a pinch.

CM:BN -- I'm a bit mad at the Scottish Corridor campaign, but very much want to return to it.  Plus, I think my months'-long "Monty's Butchers" PBEM will finally come to an end.

CM:SF in preparation for Black Sea.

Renaissance:  Pavia -- yep, it's a bad day for the French, but, at a minimum, Doug is unlikely to get his sausage-stained mitts on Francis.

I've got a great solo Civ IV game going.  Wrote a little about in last weeks Friday thread.  Progressed to the point where I made Boudica my bitch.  No war currently going on, but Caesar just declared on Mansa Musa.  I need to get in that, but, my War Weariness is high and I will have to wait a while before I can join the festivities.

Looks like some Knights of Honor, then transition into a little Graviteam Tactics..and I may go old school..picked up X-Com Terror From the Deep just the other day on Steam.

Looks like I'll be tooling around a bit now with B-17: The Mighty 8th. I have a thread started in the AAR section as I want to try to do a video-based AAR. Gotta do some manual reading and video testing to be sure. I know I can get it to work (already have tested it on another game), but I'm worried my old PC will get choppy with the recordin'. Still gonna try anyway.

Im pretty sure, that at some point, either Mirth or I dated her.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
