Your MAHLER Friday

Anguille · April 28, 2017, 07:53:28 AM

I think i am mostly going to play Master of Orion CtS....current game is small galaxy with the Psilons on hard (first time). I am way behind in almost everything. Goal is to take Orion to get some points and tech but this can take a while...just lost my main fleet against a space dragon....

I've been playing a lot of Stars in Shadow recently. Classic game.

Well played, Slick Will -- yet you picked the single Mahler symphony I strongly dislike!

Think I may spend some time with CMFI/GL in the '4.0' edition.

Needs more Cowbell

;D This is such a perfect rejoinder, given that Mahler actually does use cowbells in his 7th Symphony.

What race do you prefer to play? This is a game I keep telling myself I want to get into...

Consider doing an AAR?

SW....awesome song choice, loved it! Still trying to wrap my head around HoI4 with the Black Ice mod.

I need to spray a bunch of roundup on the weeds - if we have a sunny day.

Wife returns home on Saturday night.

I hope to read the Armada 2526 Manual and start on it.

Jarhead - glad you are feeling better.

Finish my (elderly) mother's taxes.

Do some maintenance on my mower, then mow the lawn.

Install new bar and chain on my chainsaw and cut down small tree. Maybe haul to landfill.

Dinner on friday night with my wife.

Wash the truck (we're now in the orange pollen stage).

Cut up some old pallets I was using for compost bin and maybe take to landfill.

One bike ride, one trail run.

Go to shooting range.

Take nap.

Enjoy a cigar.

Wife has plans on saturday night so might be able to finally finish that ASL game.

LOL....that's more like a decade of my life. :-"

My Friday is better due to this musical selection.

JTS PBEM. Discovering (rediscovering?) just how puzzle-y the Napoleonic system becomes when manual defensive fire is turned on.

Getting some Turks slaughtered at Gallipoli vs. Boggit.

All the Borderlands 2. Finished True Vault Hunter with my son and we're working out way through the DLC.

Primarily working on the episode for Turn 3, and then actually playing Turn 4, in my DC:Blitz game vs Barth. (I was delayed last week due to a death in my brother's family, his wife's mom. Plus still recovering from spring cold.) The Polish are putting up a much more difficult fact than historically!

Humans, Every time....
I'd love to do an AAR but time is not good at the moment. ... :(

Inspired by Pratt and Barth's AAR of DC 1's Case White, I went back and re-played the campaign again on 'Normal' difficulty with the AI given more time to think about it's moves. I've got 2 turns left and the AI has Warsaw turned into a parking lot of troops dug-in and covered everyway possible by arty and flak. I recon I maybe a 20% chance of finishing on time. :-[ So, some Neverwinter Nights for a break this weekend along with some drinking and swearing at my poor performance. L:-)

They watched your videos. No, not the DAR ones, but Sabaton.
