Friday On My Mind!

[Huw the Poo]

Happy birthday Kushan!

For me it will be almost exclusively Wurm Online.  Seriously getting into this now, in fact I just went premium.  The cow I talked about last week gave birth to a healthy young calf last night so I've got some rearing to do.  I also constructed a large cart which I could pull myself at a massive speed penalty, or hitch a couple of horses to.  So now I need to get my hands on some horses and tame them.  My alliance probably has plenty of spares they could give me but I prefer to do as much myself as possible.  Oh, and I've also been doing some serious fletching ahead of my first hunting expedition!  The alliance are kindly keeping the academy's cookhouse stocked with food but I need to learn to manage myself, so a-huntin' I will go.

Lastly, I'm in the midst of starting to commence thinking about staking my own claim on the world.  I've been doing up the house my alliance gave me and learning how it all works...now I want to start from scratch on a deed that is wholly mine.

It really is a fantastic game when you get into it.  Not for everyone, certainly, but absolutely for me.

I'm keeping it simple this weekend and just going to shoot things.  From zombies in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmares, to the enemy of whichever side I'm on in RO2 / Rising Storm.

Heroes of Normandie PBEM with Cyrano... if he remembers we have a game going.....

I see a distinct but ironic lack of mention of another PBEM game you're running there...

I'm not a big fan of zombie games, Carl -- Undead Nightmare and 7 Days to Die are the only ones I recall playing -- but RDR:UN makes for a great alternate (very) extended ending to the original game.

[Dammit Carl!]

Yeah; started playing the zombie one right away, so I think I've spoilered myself on some things to come in RDR.  Eh, a western themed Grand Theft Auto type game is fun regardless, so its all good.

Playing the Task Force Spartan Resolve campaign for CM Black Sea, which I am very much enjoying. Also spending the weekend scoping out parts for a new rig. I love my Mac, but it ain't no gaming machine.

Happy birthday, Kushan!  Enjoy your hangover ;)

Welcome, bruce205!  If that's your area code, then, ROLL TIDE!

As for games, it'll be some video watching on Seven Years War to figure out how to micro battles better.  And I had a hankering for some Hearts Of Iron II, so, I found my old discs and loaded them up.  I got my ass handed to me as Yugoslavia in a warm up game.  Just as I was about to start building my invasion forces, to take advantage of the chaos Germany brings, the Axis declared war on me!  Game over, Player One. 

After refamiliarizing myself with some of the controls and nuances, I have a game started as Italy.  I am going to forgo my usual tactic of consecutive runs of IC and just go straight in to building ships and infantry.  I am planning to make the Med a Roman lake again and I will intervene in the Spanish Civil War, with the goal of capturing and holding territory.  Then, I will turn my attention to Yugoslavia.  All the while trying to stay out of the Axis and fly under the Allies radar.

Wasn't the creepy guy in the back of the car also the South African official in the second Lethal Weapon film?

Welcome Bruce 205 to the Grogs where every Friday we spend so much time talking about what we're playing on the weekend that we don't get around to it. But we are making progress. We've agreed which day of the week is officially 'Friday'. It's any day between Thursday night and Monday morning regardless of time zones. It's been a slow process.  :P

I think he was also the Russian ambassador in Doctor Strangelove.

Happy birthday, Kushan! Many more!

Here, here, well spoken Bruce!
