Grabbed Elite last night.

Is that what they call solitaire gaming? ...Ahem. Anyhow - bought Steel Division, thought better of it, refunded and now have PUBG (not in sale, I know, but half on-topic).

Love swinging into PUBG, grabbing a gat and spiffy winter coat in some dilapidated house and promptly getting iced when I fail to property load the damn pistol and encounter someone.

One day I'll manage to shoot someone. One day.

(Not complaining about the game, just finding how damn inept I am at it right now to be amusing)

Sorry, Elite Dangerous.

Sorry, Elite Dangerous.

I was tempted by Elite Dangerous until I remembered the frustration of docking with space stations in the original Elite on my Commodore 64. :pullhair:

Finally got something: Spintires. Couldn't pass that up for 3 bux on Fanatical. Thanks for the heads up on that!

Heh 'threatened the Finns as nicely as I could'

Apparently I just sent some top secret plans directly to Mannheim. So far he seems to have found them convincingly threatening. And of course I know where he lives since he must have gotten those plans in the mail -- properly addressed! Plus the northern front is now commanded by a "Tsarist" (which seems to be upsetting Stalin, but maybe it will all work out).

It's nothing like that anymore! But I know what you mean

I was hoping my new Thrustmaster would work well with it. One of the reviews on it, said it was 'made' for Elite Dangerous.

If you want a partner in wanton online rat butchery, I'm in.

Clearly, this should be a sig somewhere.

JasonPratt · January 03, 2018, 06:48:19 PM

Also, I finally bought into the rat butchery. Certainly fought enough skaven in other games (and equivalents, as per Hand of Fate for example).

Only mice/rat related gaming I have right now is Mice & Mystics. Not exactly a Steam title. ;D

I actually want to grab that to play with my kids but is it out of print?

Seems like the prices have gotten jacked on it.

I thought so, too. I'd not seen it for less than $150 through Amazon, but that's third-party sellers jacking up the price, as they are wont to do.

I first saw it at one game store a good distance from me as I sold them some X-Wing Minis stuff a few weeks before Christmas. They were asking $75 or so for it, which I thought was a fantastic price considering the ridiculous sums I've seen it for. I decided to keep that in mind.

I went to another game store much closer to me, to pick up a copy of Fallout, as they were selling it very cheap ($47, which is a steal considering online it was around $90-100 at the time) and to use my X-Wing cash to get it. I just happened to glance around the shelves and imagine my surprise when I saw they had a copy of M&M and were selling it for $53. No brainer, though with Fallout it was pretty much easy come easy go as they say (TOO easy in board gaming).

Not sure if it's out of print, though. This copy was brand new and in shrink.

Thought I might actually get through unscathed... but just caved in before the sale expired... as was probably inevitable ...

Hegemony III: The Eagle King    $7.49
Call to Arms - Ultimate Edition    $29.99
Tank Warfare: Operation Pugilist    $3.74
Tank Warfare: Longstop Hill    $3.74

Total:      $44.96

Was hoping to see Field of Glory II and Cold Waters with some kind of discount, but no joy.
