FRI-DAY

MetalDog · January 25, 2019, 06:27:29 AM

Got several things on the burner, HOI2, Civ IV, and Warlock. What I really need to do is put together the p&p D&D I've been working on.

Hmmm...going to play something "shooty," for sure; RS2/RO2 and honing skillz on Insurgency Sandstorm (it's growing on me). Other than that, I've no idea.

Stay frosty folks!

No shooty for me...Just World of Warships and PQ-17 (boardgame).

WitP:AE has once again pulled me back in. As frustrating as the UI is, I still keep going back to it. And some Aggressors: Ancient Rome for that 'just one more turn' fix.

Nothing more shooty than Wolfenstein and I will definitely be playing more of that this weekend. Also happy to report that Order of Battle is not nearly as scripted as it was when I first played it years ago. Playing the Winter War campaign now and enjoying it a lot. May also start playing Wings of Prey too.

Enjoy!

Busy weekend so my 'shooty' will probably be limited to BIG monsters and Pirates in Pillars 2. Maybe a little TOAW 4 if it's quiet. One can only hope.

Just Cause 4, Elite Dangerous Guardian grinding and Space Engineers ship building.

1.) GROGPUBLIC umping. (i.e. Republic of Rome consolidated mega-campaign played in the forum and tracked on TTS.) Watching the Republic tear itself apart over political power, while a crisis of wars is looming... this game is just the best! I heartily salute all the players!

2.) Part 2 (presumably the conclusion) of Marching: the Followup Game to Setup: the Game (per jokes on the livestream comments), Saturday night with Cyrano and other Grogs and ArmDrags! My company of British regulars is ready for unified volley firing!! (We're playing a scenario, ump'd by Cyrano, of Colonial Adventures, specifically something to do with Blood River which is more like a Blood Pond around which we're marching not crossing but whatever. It's like Space Hulk, except with companies of Zulus and Brits out in the wide open savanna.)

Livestream starts at 7pm CST, or thereabouts. Game thread is here: https://www.armchairdragoons.com/forum/index.php?topic=547.msg8651#new

3.) I've been chugging along steadily on a pseudo-hotseat Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic campaign, with an eye toward posting it as a series of LP videos for my nieces, whom I'm using as the two main 'human' players against the AI. Fully expect to continue this.

4.) Still sort of chugging along on two other AoW3:Eternal Lords mp games, one with Yskonyn, the other with Dave from the Crisis Grogs.

5.) Yskyonyn is revving up a revanched version of his Battletech "Goodwill's Grogheads" campaign, trimmed down to a more manageable level (maybe), one Lance per player, to be scaled up when-if-ever we get that far. I'm looking toward rolling up a new Lance tonight. (By which I mean "rolling up a Lance at all" since I tried doing that previously a couple of months ago and completely failed for no clear reason. L:-) :-\ :-[ )

6.) I badly want to get back to flying with Tuna (and perhaps some others) in my 1941 model He111, and/or playing my actual dynamic campaign in the game, which I had to scrap since I couldn't figure out how to fly the dang plane with no training.

But now I feel competent enough to hang with the AI at least.

7.) Arizona Tank (Larry) and Dave should be starting a new Lords of Waterdeep match with me soon; we're just waiting for Dave to kick off.

8.) Maybe some Saboteur and/or Brothers in Arms and/or Company of Heroes (the British campaign in that case) to taste.

I'll be going to stay with my usual gaming group this weekend so it'll be boardgames for a change. However I'm sure I will still fit some Warframe in somewhere!

GroggyGrognard · January 25, 2019, 12:52:22 PM

It's going to be a survival horror kind of weekend for me. I am picking up my pre-order of Resident Evil 2 Remake. Been lookimg forward to this one for quite awhile.

Groggy

JasonPratt · January 25, 2019, 01:00:49 PM

Oh, and 9.) I've been angling toward starting Settlements for a while. It's a nice little clever indie 4x colony-management game.

No comment on the song yet? That tune has been kicking my ass for two weeks now. It's AWESOME!!

JasonPratt · January 25, 2019, 02:12:22 PM

....is the song on the front page?

>:D

I usually like your song choices, but this one just didn't do it for me. :-"

It's not bad for what it is, but Bring Me the Horizon is one of my daughter's favourite bands so I'm fed up of hearing them!
