This weekend I will be playing, "move to a new house."  So, any game playing can only be done after getting everything situated.  That's not looking all that good.  In any event, what will you be playing?


Oh, and today in 1896, Ethiopia defeated Italy in the battle of Adwa.

^"Moving to a new house"...that doesn't sound like a very fun game.

I am hoping to give an unmodded Operation Flashpoint:Dragon Rising a try. I have owned this game forever without even installing, which I finally did a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks, Shell, it's not.  But I have hope that I can get everything taken care of the next couple of days and start a new AAR of Warlock.

And we have 152 custom missions and counting.  :)

I will be thanking God that it is the weekend and that I am not moving. After that I will continue to hold on for dear life in Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai and perhaps fire up Mark of the Ninja.

Good luck with your move MetalDog, I know how much they can suck.


Not sure how much gaming I'll get in over the weekend as I'll be working alot.  However, tomorrow night a buddy of mine is coming over to play boardgames.  Other then that I might try and fit in some Skyrim.

This weekend will be moving a lot of crap around the house.. the second half of our addition was never finished, and we just found out our contracter is free to do the 'finishing' next week... Needless to say my wife has a ton of 'crap' (All teaching stuff, but there's a heck of a lot in there!). Hopefully my knees will hold out the countless treks carrying stuff up and downstairs.. Be a nice new bedroom when done!

Might get some gaming in when wifey goes to bed  ;)

Probably gonna miss Iron Front Saturday on SIMHQ  :(

Moving into a new house is just about as tough as putting together a swing set at mid-night on X-mas eve. I've been in a Steam and Iron mood lately and so have finished off some old saved games. Lost as Austria vs France in the Adriatic, won as Britain vs Germany in Helgoland, and won as Germany vs RN in Scarborough. So 2 for 3. Not too bad for an Armchair Admiral. I don't have the guts to tackle Jutland just yet. I'll give the navy a rest and loot and plunder some in Skyrim I think this weekend.

I played 'Moving house' first weekend of Feb and have since spent some time on 'Working in Lithuania and Istanbul Sim' so am still playing 'Battle with the Boxes'

This week the new PC arrived so ill be staring in wonder at Arma 2/Iron Front in 24'' 1920x1080 HD orgasmatron mode and posting pics

Some CMBN/FI PBEM - now in 'OMG that looks huge' mode

Downloading Shogun II and playing some Assault Squad demo some more

Good luck with the move MetalDog.  I hope everything goes smoothly.  But above all don't pop a nut!  Always get help lifting heavy furniture.


Edit:  Whoops forgot to add what I'll be playing this weekend.  Just picked up Forces of Nature DLC for Gears of War 3 on sale yesterday and All Fronts DLC for Gears of War 2, also on sale.  Guess what I'll be playing?  Time to go on an achievement hunting spree.

Thanks, W8.  My son is going to help me.  I am sitting here waiting for the charity I donated half my stuff to to come pick up what I am giving to them, so, less stuff to move.  The big stuff remains, fridge, washer & dryer, some bookshelves, the recliners, but, once past the fridge and the w&d, nothing is too unwieldy thank God.  Once I get settled, you and I need to start up a little MP game of something.

Iron Front MP on Saturday.

Continue ploughing my way though The Witcher 2.  I'm actually enjoying it now that I've gotten past the opening bits and deeper into the story.  Boss fights are retardedly hard though.

Ugh! I feel for you, Metaldog. One year I moved FIVE (5) times. The last time was to move where I live now, and I swore if I ever moved again I would sell everything and not move it. That was 33 years ago and I'm very happy that I haven't had to move in all those years.

As for gaming, it's Star Spangled Weekend at World of Tanks, so I will be putting in a few hours with that this weekend. In addition, I'll probably be playing some Empires of Steel and Conquest of Elysium 3 as well as a few other PC games.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Good Luck MD.... lift with you legs  :P  I helped someone move last weekend but it a whole new ballgame with you are doing it yourself.

Finishing off my CK2 campaign and starting either a Sword of Islam or Republic campaign.

From there will finish off my March of the Eagles Austria Campaign and then who knows.....

MetalDog

Thanks for all the good wishes fellas!  I'm hoping there is only one more move after this.  And that won't be too bad as I will be giving away most of the rest of my stuff before that one.  And dig you avatar, PE :)
