I love Van Halen. I met my first love when I was coming up to 17 in a pub drinking Pernod and Blackcurrant and Van Halen and Jump were on the big scree. That was 1983 and she was lovely.

Anyway - hApPy BiRtHdAy JH.

DCS FA/18 Hornet and making my Jadgpanther. I might mess around a bit with Assassins Creed:Origins too given time.

No offense but god I am sick of that song.

Soccer tournament and suprize 40th bday party tomorrow.

Hoping to wash and wax my car Sunday weather permitting.

Gaming - not really sure. In a funk. Maybe try to get back to fallout 4, Skyrim or Witcher 3

Happy bday JH

Happy birthday JH and great song!  O0

My current Stellaris campaign has just gone off the rails because I opened an L-gate too early and let the horrors out! I'm really liking all the changes with the new DLC.

More playing and learning Armageddon War on the table. Very cool combat system.

Busy weekend with both kids birthdays, graduation party, and fathers day.

I picked up Der Weltkrieg The Grand Campaign at Origins yesterday, so I'll be reading those rules. 

Will continue my PBEM game of Space Empire V.

Maybe get soe Stellaris, CKII, or HOI2:Darkest Hour in.

I'm going to have a go at the campaign in Sorcerer King Rivals as although I've had it since launch I've never really got round to playing it properly and just picked up Ogre so some of that as well.

Yardwork and boning up on Microstation and when I'm not otherwise engaged, the various World of ... games have my attention currently.

Oh, and I need to cast about for another beater ride as my poor, old 240 was laid low by a relative who apparently couldn't understand the temp gauge on the dash.  Ugh.

That reminds me I may pick up newly out of early access Wreckfest, a new racing/demolition derby game just out this week on Steam. Looks insanely fun.

This one wasn't on my radar, but I'll admit, I can't help but smirk while watching the trailer...

Wasn't on my radar either until I found out it left early access a few days ago. I doubt it will be marked down during the Steam sale but I would be silly to but it now. Patience...

Thanks.  I added that to my wishlist.  Not sure I'll get much out of it, but my son will be sold if you can drive a combine in a demolition derby.

Yeah.  Picked it up as the body was straight and the interior, motor and transmission was good.  Paint was utter ass, but I was planning on getting that taken care of this year.  Was going to be my fat, old man ride.

Had family drama and the car went to the relative who admittedly needed something to drive - she just didn't do stuff like check fluids, etc.  I warned them that it was a 30 year old car and to take it easy and...boom goes the engine.  Repairs now will alone top the amount I paid for her, and I just can't stomach that.

Crazy as it sounds, I just love the lines on a 240; got that "car before they became blobby, "aerodynamic," shapes" so popular in the mid-late 90s.  Think I'll go for a nice, boxy F150 ('90) with a 5 speed next as my current truck is going to be handed off to the daughter at her request.

And peeping Wreckfest - that looks like fun!

I'll be playing Oriental Empires.  Probably play some Table Top Simulator using the Path's of Glory module.  That is a neat WWI board game. 

Anybody want to play Paths of Glory with me on TTS?  I don't like vassal but I will do Zun Tzu if TTS is not your thing.

I've still got my "Kiss me I'm S**tfaced" t-shirt from the last Dropkicks gig I was at so highly recommended even if my recollection is Guinness hazed,  although I'd recommend Flogging Molly over the support act  :)

I had this like 2 or 3 years ago...unfinished in Alpha. It was fun back then! I'll have to reinstall it now that it's been released

Isn't it 'Flogging Molly'?

My wife's family have owned Volvos for 40+ years. When I was first dating her (20+ years ago) she got lost on a hike and her parents gave me the keys to their then old Volvo 240 wagon to go rescue her with. It is probably the closest I will ever get to driving an actual tank.

My father in law still drives his red 1991 Volvo 740 sedan. It smells like old man and old dog but the damn thing refuses to die... don't know what he would replace it with anyway.

I must be strong and hope that Wreckfest goes on sale.

I've seen Flogging (wiseasses) Molly before but not Dropkick. Them playing together is pretty much a wet dream for me.

So after seeing the mention of Wreckfest in this thread I decide to check out the previews.  The game has my 9 year old son's name written all over it so I call him over to the computer and The conversation goes like this:
Dad: "I've got a game that you need to save your money for." 
Son (While watching the trailer on Steam): "That's pretty cool but why do I need to save my money?"
Dad: "Because it's $45 and if you want it you'll have to save for it."
Son: "Why can't I just play it on your account?"
Dad: "Huh?"
Son (Pointing at the screen): "You already own it."
Dad: "I don't think so. It just came out."
Son (Pointing at the screen again): Yep, right there. I'll just use your account.  Thanks Dad!  Now when can I have the computer?"

Apparently I bought this game in 2015, (Greenlight? Kickstarter?) and forgot all about it.  I can't imagine I paid $45 for it.

Playing OOTP 19, BATTLETECH, and...Wreckfest.  ;D

Happy Birthday Jarhead and O of OJ's Dad.

lol - but you didn't pay $45 for it. IIRC I bought it ages ago for something daft like £10 - it was really cheap so when I thought I'd burned my money (there was very little progress), I was like "Oh well".

So I'm pretty sure you got it cheap.  O0
