Grab your powder! Grab your gun! It's Friday!

For a generation of kids, Saturday morning meant cartoons.  And with their cartoons came learning.  In the form of Schoolhouse Rocks.  Today is April 19, the day of, "The shot heard round the world."  The 238th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord.

I don't own any Revolutionary War PC games, but I will be gaming this weekend.  It'll be Warlock and I'll see if Civ IV maybe has an American Revolution mod.  Happy gaming!

I love Schoolhouse Rock!
The historical segments might be painfully simplified but they were written for 7 year olds and I'll bet that some of those kids grew up with an appetite for history that was first whetted but those short musicals.

Love SHR!

Looks like I'll be trying out Eador: Masters of the Broken World (once it unlocks).  Hope they've fixed the bugs, etc...

Loved schoolhouse rock! I have the cd from the mid 1990s where the various rock bands remade the schoolhouse rock songs.

Hopefully get some Far Cry 2 in and some boardgaming.

I am one of those kids who learned to love US istory and the US because of Schoolhouse Rock...I should start watching it with my kids.

Will be continuing my Medieval II campaign as the French, maybe start Skyrim: Dragonborn and perhaps fire up CK II.

I'll be working most of the weekend. I'm just about done with the Skyrim Dawnguard quest line, playing as the vampire hunters. Once that is done I'm going to take a small break from PC gaming and unbox my newly arrived copy of Steel Wolves from Compass Games. First board game I've purchased since I played Axis and Allie back in high school.

Too old for SHR, but in New Mexico in the early 1960s apparently UK films from the 1940s were cheap to rent by the Imperial Ton and the TV stations played those
movies a lot so my 7-year-old to 12-year-old mind was formed believing that the RN and the RAF were the most stupendous (if outnumbered by an underhanded and unsporting foe or two) powers for good on the planet.  And so I will be playing Cliffs of Dover this week-end.  Or a least fooling with the Full mission builder and saying to myself, "We suspect Jerry has no idea how the Group and Sector Commands work."

Let us know how that goes. I keep wanting to get Steel Wolves but the time required to play always stops me... do you have somewhere cat/kid safe to leave it setup for long periods?

Nice score Kushan. Steel Wolves doesn't come cheap and requires a massive time investment to play. I'd love to hear your impressions some time as I really enjoy Silent War am looking for an excuse...  ::)

I'm starting my weekend with some counter clipping as I finsh prepping new copy of Thunderbold Apache Leader. I also purchased the minis (thankyou wife for forgetting my recent b-day  :) )  HoI TFH, Firefall and Steam & Iron are likely to get a visit at some point.

[PanzersEast]

I'll back back at Skyrim all modded up..... I'm heading to check out a Rangers lodge and continue questing and exploring knows where.  Maybe will get some FSX flights in as well.

Umm... Civ4: Colonization?!  I'd say that covers what you're looking for in new world exploration & revolution, no?

[LongBlade]

I will be holding my breath until the release of the new Star Trek FPS...which won't happen this weekend :(

[Gusington]

Civ 4 Colonization was not so stupendous...I had high hopes for that game :(
