Happy birthday bartheart, happy house day Jarhead, happy cruise BC!

Command for me, working on the first Northern Fury scenario about Cold War hot WWIII in Norway. Possible AAR  forthcoming.

Barthheart, happy 50th! I'll reach that milestone next year.  :o
Jarhead, congrats on the house! When's the Grogheads housewarming party?  :P

I finally tried the Galactic Civ 3 beta last night and for some reason it's clicking with me in a way 1 or 2 never did so I'll certainly play that. Also some more Worlds of Magic. I'm having a lot of fun with it and, so far, no bugs for me.

Been thinking of starting that but reports of crashes and upcoming patches adding stuff makes me want to wait.  :crazy2:

Sir Slash

I will be playing Pillars of Eternity(PoE) and robbing Banzai's house while he's away. Side note: Fire Sale on house hold items here Monday ;D Happy 50th Barth. Things may not work so well in the morning so.... take care of all your Manly Obligations tonight. Just saying. And Congrats on the new house Jar. Need any new furnishings? With the initials BC on them? And good luck with the CMFI- Conraths Counterattack Wally's World, it's a tough one. I'm still stuck on battle 3 or 4. And finally, Banzai enjoy your self. KW and Nassau are both beautiful, just don't forget where you parked the boat.

Saw a number of you playing Galactic Civ 3. Is it different enough/better than GC2 to warrant the $$$?

Happy Birthday Bart, Congrats on the house Jarhead, enjoy your cruise Banzai Cat.

Finally a weekend where I don't have to work, or I'm sick, or have some other obligation. Going to lock myself in my apartment and do nothing but game this weekend. I've got AAR's for Distant Worlds and EUIV I need to catch up on. Rest of my time will be split between Command, Cities: Skyline, and Pillars of Eternity. There may be a few hours of cargo hauling in Elite thrown in somewhere as well.

I checked a wiki last night and I'm about halfway through the Morrowind main quest.  Lookin' good for finishing it!  The story really gets interesting as you get into it.

Not sure what else yet...maybe Scourge of War.  And I've got a slight tingling that may be an urge to finally boot up Rome Total War 2.  Still haven't played the thing and I bought it on pre-order!   :-[  I just started reading a book called Legions of Rome to try to get into the mood.

Morrowind has the best story of any TES game. I'll even go out on a limb and say its the best story of any RPG.

I've been thinking of trying to go back to Morrowind for the last year and a half or so when I picked it up on Steam, but I'm really afraid that I've been spoiled by Skyrims graphics and game mechanics.

What, if any, mods are you using Toonces?

I have something called Morrowind Complete Overhaul 2.0 installed.  There is a 3.0 available; not sure how I ended up with 2.0 but my game works, looks acceptable, and I don't want to pork my install with this many hours invested, so 2.0 it is.

http://www.ornitocopter.net/v3-0-release/

I also installed a mod that makes your walking/running speed about 2x faster, a mod that eliminates fatigue for walking/running so you can run everywhere (but fatigue during battle still works as intended), and a passive Cliff Racers mod that makes about 1/3 of the Cliff Racers passive and not attack you.  I tried to remove them completely, but I can't seem to get that mod to work.

That's it.  There are many, many more mods available, but I kind of wanted a more vanilla experience.

Yeah, I'd say if you don't like early access stuff then wait. I know it's been officially released but there is still work to be done.

Huw the Poo

Well I got my new PC but haven't installed the graphics card yet.  I'm saving that for tomorrow morning, so that I have plenty of time to fix stuff if anything goes wrong.  Assuming all goes well, I have a list of games I've been waiting to try on the new rig.  Here are some I hope to play this weekend:

Rising World.  A lovely crafting/building sim, still in alpha, but if I can get it running smoothly it'll be a pleasant way to spend some time as well as showcase what my new PC can do.

Interstellar Marines.  I really like this game but it was barely playable on my old PC.  I'm very much looking forward to diving back in.

Dota 2.  I ragequit last year after a sudden string of losses but would love to try it again running smooth as poo.

Age of Wonders 3.  Will continue to beta test the Linux build.  It was actually playable on the old PC; reported FPS were very low but that doesn't really matter in a turn based game.

I am right this moment posting from my new Surface. Physical keyboard arrives Monday. 14ish hours to download my Surface barnraising gift, which I've been saving up for: all new ww2 combat. Mission games.

My hatred for this keyboard is now complete... :buck2:

I'm on the verge of a new Rome 2 campaign, methinks. 

Don't be afraid Toonces.  It is painless at this point.  O0
