I can be found, most days, playing Mech Warrior: Online. I go by the handle of Tuhs Grey

I play World of Warplanes, World of Tanks and I am involved in the testing of World of Warships - alpha and now closed beta. I also play miniatures, anything from ancients to WWII. The most recent miniatures battle was the historical event when a single tank, a KV2 with infantry support held up an entire German division for a day using the Chain of Command rules from Too Fat Lardies.

Haven't been gaming for a long time. Nothing of interest to me.

I hear ya....I played DDO for a bit after everyone moved on....I still have the giuld ship and such I inhereted....havent seen a soul on for quite a bit....changed laptops and didnt reload DDO....

I was looking for something like Micro armor when I found Wargame: European escalation....has a few flaws...but I got it from Steam for 3.99......well worth 4 bucks....then I picked up Wargame: Airland battle on sale for 4.99 (better engine...more units and countries and Close air support...WOOT)...LOL

The newest wargame "Red dragon" is still being played quite a bit ( but they totally screwed up the naval aspect), and you can still find games for ALB during the day....W:EE is pretty much dead....

They all have a single player campaign.....in W:EE the AI is alot like the SFC AI, in that will will just charge you with everything it can throw at you The AI always makes a bee line for your untis no matter where they are or if they are hiden in a forest...etc...

W:ALB is better....in that the AI cant "see" your units anymore unless it gets eye's on them with RECON......so it cant shoot you unless it can "see" you.....but the AI still knows where your stuff is....

Havent played W: RD yet....but I have read they tweaked the AI a bit further so that it's possible to ambush the AI now and insert special ops behind enemy lines if you dont stumble on a RECON unit...

First time I called in an A-10 and heard that Gat pop a T80 I litterally grinned from ear to ear...

Some of the games that might have interested me had the requirement of an internet connection for a SINGLE PLAYER game. That to me is a deal breaker, I don't like being monitored like that. Others have massive required downloads another deal breaker (I start being throttled if I go beyond 10 gb/ month somewhere between 20 and 30 it is impossible to refresh a web page). Also my old offline gaming group is totally broken up so even that has fallen by the wayside.

I'm feeling kind of the same way about games right now. The last game I played was Guild Wars and that is a ghost town now and GW2 sounds like it's too much nickel and dime stuff.

Since I got the Windows 8.1 machine I don't do much in the way of gaming mostly working on blueprinting projects See the Starstream Project thread
and now I'm in the process of learning a new CAD/CAM software for where I work. that is taking up some of my time.

I've got something of a privacy fetish and don't like how more and more companies try to monitor everything they can, gaming companies among them. I prefer to buy my games and other products in person with cash with nothing to identify me. It is no ones business but mine what I buy and in what patterns. With so many games now only sold online and only playable with an active internet connection there is little that I'd be willing to play even if it were otherwise attractive.

Someone is bound to say "SFC being played online means you could be tracked" but the info on my computer and in the game on my ID was all false. They would have to actually go to my ISP and persuade them to hand over my true info and without cause they wouldn't likely get it and wouldn't even know they didn't have it already anyhow. Buying online with a credit card (which I have never had and don't want) takes away my privacy.

I know GOG.com has some pretty good games on it for old timers like us. DRM free. of course you still have to use a CC to get them.

I am so looking forward to Pillers of Eternity. Looks like the next chapter in the Baldurs gate campaign, but with fresh ideas , and a great story.

but yeah, I seem to be fickle with games. Have a ton on my pc, but I've also been very distracted the last few months.

Hi All -I just picked up SFC 1 from GOG and find it really funny that I can't remember what I'm doing any more. It has been a few years! Most of the online stuff now seems to have gone to the monster role playing side or really silly wargames like world of tanks or warships - look good but no realism at all.
I was looking to update my (yes, Lyran) models and trying to see if I could find any. No luck so far. The stock ones are OK, but I had some way back when a few Lyrans were fighting a guerrilla war against everyone else...

This Romulan is currently doing the LOTRO thing on Landroval however, have recently wandered over to WoT and may migrate from there to warships (looks like that will be nice).

I have OP on my box and every couple months I fire it up and work on the campaign i started YEARS ago w/ the SFB mod (still impressive work after all this time).

Still fighting the good fight for kids at Dept of Children and Family Services, though I made the hard choice and transferred from the Child Abuse Hotline and now I pay the programmers and IT peeps that keep the Dept running.
I was getting burnt to a crisp there, the nature of the job was leaking into my personal life; 18 years was enough at ground zero for Child Protection.

From the above post, several of us "Taldrenites" have wandered into WoT, my wingman Reyam has also checked it out and found parallels to SFC, but he got himself banned 24 hr for friendly fire....must be the Romulan in him.

WoWS is good and most that like WoT should be able to do fine ships, just remember that peed-a-boom is rarely a good move.

I can be found sitting on my couch.
Recovering from torn meniscus surgery.
As for gaming...no working PC.

Hope you get better soon Blade. Good seeing you again.

Nemesis · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2015, 01:32:23 pm »

Obey doctors orders and don't over stress it until it is healed. Get well soon Blade.

Excellent Advice.

In my PnP RPG dayz (rolemaster) the party I ran campaign for had a collective wisdom: The Healer is always right.

Here wishing you a speedy recovery

Still in DDO, but it's dying. Hopefully one day we'll have a new SFC game.
