Friday Night Gaming....

steve58 · August 17, 2012, 03:33:05 PM

Everyone must be on vacation for the Friday nite gaming thread not have been started by now...so I'll do the honors this week....

I've finally started dabbling with Skyrim and will also try to get in a little Kerbal mayhem with ver 0.16 of Kerbal Space Program.

p.s. Apparently there are a few members of the Mars Curiosity rover team that play KSP...

Dunno really. I started playing the fabled To The Moon but it isn't grabbing me. I finished my single player Warlock game this week so I'll take a break from that (besides multiplayer). I have absolutely no idea what to play now!

War Thunder beta if I can get login access.

Last day of my Secret World account so I might go make an ass of myself in PvP.

What are the differences between v0.16 and the still free v0.13? Are there any big changes planned that would make it worth while or should I wait a few months and play the free game until then?

Well just off the top of my head, there is now a moon you can land on and a spaceplane hangar for designing spaceplanes. Also, what you put up in orbit, stays in orbit (persistence). You can launch other vehicles/Kerbals and see other craft in orbit. Docking with another vehicle is not quite there yet. Its a fun sandbox. Oh, and Kerbals can do EVA now too! There are some crazy user mods as the video in this thread shows...(though the author tweaked things to make it look like you can do more than what is happening in the video)

Here is the thread for 0.17

Now that I got Diablo III up and running again, perhaps a few hours of demon crushing. And perhaps some Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai.

I will play mostly Gemini Wars. Started playing mission 11. It's really getting interesting with multiple star systems. Also armada 2526 supernova.

nothing for me this weekend.

I'm packing to go on holiday - to the Lake District and very much looking forward to my charity Coast 2 Coast ride across North England next Friday!

In fact - I won't be gaming at all because I'm away - so I'll be taking Thunderbolt Apache Leader with me...and may buy Sleeping Dogs when I get back

Bastard....

Gusington · August 17, 2012, 05:38:35 PM

^Maybe not though. My first game is always with my OCD and if I deem Shogun not quite a good match with what I am reading, then...no beans.

Silent Disapproval Robot · August 17, 2012, 05:40:45 PM

Wanna trade video cards?

Gusington · August 17, 2012, 05:45:28 PM

No way, sucka.

Greybriar · August 17, 2012, 06:13:13 PM

Civ5 and Warlock plus a bit of WoW, WoT, and EVE Online.

I'm not sure what else.

Shelldrake · August 17, 2012, 06:51:43 PM

Continue with my Shogun 2 and Panzer Corps campaigns plus PBEM Armada 2526 Supernova and whatever else I can fit in. Back to work on Monday so need to make the most of my last days of vacation! 8)

Right now I got a pizza in the oven and then its watching tv shows via netflix with the wife tonight. Not sure I'll get any gaming in tonight. But hopefully sometime this weekend I'll build more in Minecraft and play some CK2 in preparation for the rumored MP gaming around here. Also I just reinstalled JT: Campaign Series so I might have some fun with that.
