Fifty Shades of Strange. But it did make my day. I'm trying to wrap-up the final battle of the CMBN German campaign but dammit did they make this last fight as rough as Brillo toilet paper. Needing a little break, I'll try a Skyrim or POE. Happy Weekend-ing Grogs. 8)

Getting more of a feel for OOTP 16 as the Seattle Mariners. I just bought it on sale from Steam.

Commander: The Great War with Doug.  The Turks and the Italians are getting the lion's share of the work done as their bigger brothers slog it out on the Eastern and Western Fronts.

Fantastic PC game overall. Arguably the best of the Commander series, with the subject matter being most fitting.

Just finished the Tarraco scenario and I'm onto Rome scenario which starts in 146 BC. I like the game too.

I seem to be mostly working on learning how to use Shadowplay and Sony Movie Studio together for a project that the Bro was hoping I could do for the nieces. Which has succeeded so far: creating a G(ish)-rated cut of the Back to the Future series.

Along the way I learned that the Blu ray conversion (which I've owned for a while) looks terrible -- I was going to say, still better than DVD in some ways, but converting it back to DVD resolution might actually have helped it a little!  :buck2:

Apparently I've mostly been in a fantasy 4x mood this last week.  I'd been playing the hell out of FE:LH up until Thursday, and now have a Halfling campaign going in Age of Wonders 3 (since I picked up the Golden Realms and Eternal Lords DLC in that GOG sale). 

To round things out, I've also resumed my Federation campaign in BOTF (Ultimate Mod 5), and have also spent a little time with my just-purchased Steam versions of both Shogun and Medieval Total War.  Fun!

Ended up playing Armada 2526. I forgot how much I enjoy this 4x space game.

Yes, I do. And I wish they would release another one.  :)

Well...I did get to play F1 2015.

Started my championship and got 1 hour of practice, 30 minutes of qualifying and a 58 lap race done at Albert Park. I used the flashback...ALOT! Just when I made a stupid mistake because I wasn't concentrating...like running off the track because my head flashed to the side to see what was going on in the cricket...for example.

I was disappointed that I couldn't change the pit stop strategy meaning I was due 3 (yep...THREE) pit stops. I started on Options. Had 2 pit stops with 2 sets of Options and then a third with Prime. Also, the AI split the pit stops evenly - so 14-15 laps on each set of tyres. So on my starting set, I had 14 laps. First stop, I got 15 laps (my choice) to 29. Second stop I got 15 laps (my choice again) to 44 and on my third stop (for Primes) I got 14 laps to 56. Why I couldn't have stretched each of the options for an extra lap or two and took the primes longer I don't know...but I wasn't able to edit the strategy...so that was poor implementation.

Also - I'm not sure the AI wasn't cheating. Ricciardo had 1 pit stop. How he got so many laps out of the Option is beyond me. And why I need 3 stops I have NO idea.

It was fairly enjoyable if not lonely. I finished 4th...but only because I knocked a few AI's (accidentally). Also I was lapped by Rosberg. Ricciardo started in 12 (I qualified in 5th) but he beat me. Why? Because he was allowed to edit his setup and had 1 stop where I wasn't and was forced t have 3!!
