Friday Night Peeps.....

[Sir Slash]

The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum is a great place to see too. Couple of hours north of Mackinac Strait on the Upper Peninsula. Biggest mosquitoes I've ever seen though. Even sober.

[Airborne Rifles]

No gaming for me this weekend. Moving into a new place, then heading to Michigan with the family for vacation.

Where in MI? It's my home state.

Mackinac Island, spending some time there with the wife's family.

I love Mackinac island. The bike ride around the coast is always a lot of fun. Do they live there over the winter? I always wonder what people do for work in the off season.

No, they just vacation there, but we're also fascinated by what the locals do all winter. My father-in-law, brother-in-law and myself have mused about finding a winter caretaker job up there some year and finding out!

[Nefaro]

Shawshank Redemption?

LOL.  No.


The aforementioned dialog is at 1:13  .. and brilliant.

"Vicky" the Alcatraz Tour Guide from
So I Married An Axe Murderer

Tragically underrated old Mike Meyers movie.

Probably will play some Football Manager 15. Also eyeing XCOM: EU, Galactic Civilizations III, and Elite: Dangerous. Distant Worlds might beat out Gal Civ 3 though.

You have seen The Shining, right?

[Dammit Carl!]

With drill weekend going down, I don't see too much of anything in my future - maybe.   :'(

Good luck with the move!  Hope all goes well.  O0 


It's been a similar story for me.  I've spent most of the weekend moving stuff to my new place, so haven't had much time for gaming.  (Fortunately, it's only a 15-minute drive away.)  I managed to squeeze in two short sessions of Birth of the Federation plus maybe an hour in my Mercian campaign in Medieval Total War/Viking Invasion, but that's been it. 

[Arctic Blast]

Just a bit of BF4 for me this weekend. I find myself wondering why I keep buying new games.

Of course, I'll do so in stupid quantities during the Steam sale. Sigh...

In the end I spent pretty much all my time playing Elite: Dangerous. I ended up trading in my hauler and sidewinder, and picked up a cobra. I also picked up a little puzzle game on Steam called
TIS-100 which involves some primitive assembly programming, and played a few hours of that. I might spend a little bit of time on one of the other games tonight, but most likely not. Too many games, too little time.

XCOM - Long War

SHIV

CMBS PBEM with Judge 'Charge of the Light Brigade' Dredd

  SHIV vanilla, Invisible, some boardgames and maybe some Attila and CLoD.

   As it happened I played ARMAIII (with the old terrains), CLoD, Invisible, boardgames and not much SHIV vanilla.

I think I wasted most of my precious gaming time this weekend chasing ghosts in SH 4. Running after Japanese ships that you can never catch and then playing the U-Boat add-on where I chased ghost Allied ships that I can never catch. Then there was the "Odd Moments" where a contact off Japanese held Guam turned out to be 2 American tankers sailing all alone 70 miles off a major enemy base.  Really? Now I remember why I had put this one down quite a while back.

  I'm pretty sure that back when I played a lot of SHIV -- that I had a lot of mods installed.  I might do that, but these days flight sims seem to be getting most of my simulation time.  I might get the MiG15 in DCS some time soon, if I manage to fly the F-86 in an okay fashion.
  BUT at the moment CLoD is very popular with me as are ARMAIII and Invisible.  So who knows?

[Tuna]

Played some DOTA 2 with my 19 year old, he's been asking me to play.
Played a lot of Star Drive 2.. I just love this game, designing you're ships seems to have 'meaning' in this game!

Wooo!  How did you find it?  I've been gearing up to jump back in at some point myself, with The International coming up; it always gets me excited for the game again.
