Most people didn't really care for the flambouency he brought but damn if that man couldn't  shred on a guitar.

Heroes of the Storm if people are around, if not then any mix of the following: SoaSE, SotS2, DW:U, PS. If the weather ends up total crap may even try some WitP:AE

Also Rocket league is having a free weekend on steam. I played an hour and it will be bought. Fun little game.

I really dug Prince Rogers Nelson's music and I am very sad to know of his passing.  He will be missed.

There will be Civ IV and Dungeons & Dragons on the tabletop this weekend.  Along with the premier of Season 6 of Game of Thrones Sunday night.  Can't wait!

[JudgeDredd]

Genius song from a genius performer.  O0 I'm about to watch Purple Rain as tribute.

Probably trying to get my damn airbrushing technique down so the damn thing doesn't block all the time.

I just bought American Truck Simulator, so I will probably take it out for a spin. I doubt there will be anything else.

Prince was far more influential in the industry than most people know. A rare talent and a true gift with all things musical. He did it all.

Undoubtedly another huge loss to the music world and another step closer to the end of an era.

Anyway, I've been playing some different games lately and finding myself playing random games I never planned to play. Like cortex command, aliens colonial marines, Kerbal space program, steel Panthers and some of the older combat mission games.

The latest update to  ksp overhauled the training missions. I've run through a bunch of them and realize why I've had difficulty even getting into suborbital flight since versions that approached 1.0. The physics got really hardcore and you needed to factor in concepts such as center of mass, fuel load, engine type and propellant based on air density and atmosphere, etc. I learned that more rockets and more fuel is not the way to go. This all changes everything.

Long drive to Florida tomorrow so probably not much gaming this weekend. But I can catch up on Grogcasts. If I do find any gaming time it will most like be Polaris and/or Civ5. I also might check out the new 1.7 update to GalCiv3 and take a look at the new Star Ruler 2 expansion. And there was also an update to Sovereignty: Crown of Kings...

[Dammit Carl!]

Sinking ships is my aim via World of Warships and then being chained to my old ass laptop for the next two weeks and thus unable to sink said ships. 

[Airborne Rifles]

CMANO, continuing to slowly get into NF8. End of the semester grading is kicking my butt!

[Gusington]

Probably my favorite Prince song...even though it is dark and sad it clearly brings me back to a very happy childhood and always reminds me of summertime. Was Purple Rain released in the summer?

With the help of Anguille, Glen55 and a few others I am getting deeper into Grand Ages - Medieval...has the potential to be a great go to game that I can just chill with when I am not feeling bloodthirsty enough for a bout of Total War.

[Anguille]

My fav Prince song as well...

I plan to play the following games mostly:

- Grand Ages Rome
- Oriental Empires
- Grand Ages Medieval
- Rome Total War

I'll try to squeze in some 4x game...not sure which one.

[Rayfer]

My ongoing Allies campaign in WitP:AE and the Road to Leningrad scenario in WitE.

... I can just chill with when I am not feeling bloodthirsty enough for a bout of Total War.

You know, I'm really struggling to get into the latest TW games.  I keep coming back to the feeling that the sweet spot, for me, was Medieval 2. 

In consideration of everything, I think it's the province management that's holding me back from enjoying Rome 2 and Attila.  What I always like about M2TW was that you could click the auto-management for your provinces and concentrate on fighting the wars.

[Barthheart]

Usual suspects fer me:

VASSAL module work

PBEM DC3 with Jason... missed last weekend because of coincidence of Honey Doo list and fantastic weather for the time of year.

Twilight Struggle with Jason. Trying not to lose too fast.  :P

More Polaris Sector.

Civ MP of any kind if I can hook up with anyone not asleep.

Waiting impatiently for May 9 to arrive.... :D

[Toonces]

Regarding playing games this weekend, I'm still playing good old CK2, which scratches my Total War itch when I'm not feeling bloodthirsty enough for a bout of Total War.

I'm also very seriously considering playing the 3 Days in 7 Hours mod for Scourge of War: Gettysburg.  I've been reading a good book on Gettysburg and it has me in the mood to do some gaming.  I haven't tried the mod yet, but my understanding is that it plays the three days in three consecutive segments, carrying over casualties from one day to another.  I think you have to play it at Army command level, which is what has put me off trying it thus far...I am most definitely not ready for that responsibility yet.

I'll mix it up with some shooters, ARMA 3 KotH, Squad, etc.

Undercover, best Friday "what are we playing" thread title ever. Well done, sir.

Helluva artist. With all of his great songs, many of which are on my play list, "I Would Die 4 U" is what I'm listening to this morning.

Game wise, I'm firing up Polaris Sector this morning and planning on a Polaris Sector weekend.
