We will be attending a lan party at JR's house on Nov 29. Anyone is welcome to play with us over steam during that day.

At least hes practical...

I'm proud to announce Wizard is the new player of the week.... Mainly because he is able to game with only 5gigs of free hard drive space. Well done sir.

My body is now hard.

ATTENTION ALL MINIONS: Overlord ALF commands you to play War Thunder with our figurehead, Scannex. Failure to do so will result in bodily hard... This is your only warning. Thank you -ALF

Never forget the swamp Inka.

Inka, always remember. The government is farming bees. We're not sure for what. It could be to take over cybertron (although they'll claim to be saving it.). It could be the junta virus. It could be colonization. The only safe place will be the swamp.

I put the time for 8:15. Let me know if this is a conflict for anyone.

I also approve of wednesday

Wednesday, hands down.

In other news, what days of week are best for you guys to some light gaming? Thinking about saving Cybertron next week. Maybe fitting in some Chivalry in the future. For me its Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday.

Weaknesses: 1)There are like 6 races in the game, so not as much variety as Civ...I'm not sure you need it though.
2) Crashes a little more than you would like.
3) Not enough Melmacians
4) Combat, although ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pretty as ♥♥♥♥, is a bit of a game of rock paper scissors. That's an oversimplification, but there is an element in there.

My understanding is that I was brought on to provide expertise in this and a number of other areas (regardless of whether, from a strictly factual perspective, I am, indeed an expert in them.) To that end: Endless Space is a wonderful indie 4x. Strengths: MASSIVE Tech tree which, is really 4 tech trees. This brings about tech choices. That's good. It's not just a race up the ladder. You're also choosing which ladder you're going up at any given time, and you need to delve into all of them. Why? Because of strength number 2 (amongst other reasons): CUSTOMIZABLE SPACESHIPS. You research hulls, drives, weapons, weapon systems, shields, you name it and design your own space ships to fight and explore and colonize for you. Sweet. Strength 3: Sppaaaaaacccceee. Strength 4) Shares the simulturn format for multiplayer with Civ V.

Kevin also suggested I try out Endless Space, is anyone else playing this?

Soon as it goes on sale, I'll be purchasing... I know I just missed it, hopefully it comes around again.

I think so. It's a bit different that other Civs. Taking cities is much harder, but there is also more you can do to defend a surprise invasion. I like playing Civ 5 and Civ 4 (with the Beyond the Sword expansion) online. You take your turns at the same time as other players so it's not a ton of waiting.

I noticed a few people playing Civilization 5... is it worth the money?

All I can say is that sandwhich looks delicious.

I don't know what sandwich represents us. That appears to be peanut butter banana on toast. Can I get a ruling?
