This year is becoming a bit of a blur already. Looking for work up in Cumbria is trickier than I'd hoped and I may have to look at restarting some sort of education to make good use of my time up here.
The Yuletide was the best it's been for many years though, with some good gaming with friends and family. And with a good friend of mine in Southampton getting more to grips with his new PC, we've been starting to expand our game base; enjoying Dawn of War 2, Homeworld remastered and trying some other games too.
So, the last few weeks, in the land of gaming, have mostly been taken up with Company of Heroes 2. I'm going to write a lot more about this game in another post, but it's a difficult game to like at first sight, but once you get into it, it's a great RTS and is also working to inflate a thought of getting back into table top war gaming by investing time and money in a WW2 British force! Curse you, brothers of mine!!
I've not been so keen to play much World of Warships, I'm really waiting for some more interesting ships to come along. The Americans are a bit boring and generic and it's hard to relate to the Japanese, although I do enjoy their ships more than the Americans. And playing my German cruisers over and over again is burning out the enjoyment a bit. But, after saying all this, I do enjoy a few games with mates, a few times a week.
Plans going forward are:
- Figure out what I'm doing with jobs/education.
- Get back into creative mode; Wastelands is begging for an update.
- If I can earn a few coins, then think about how to approach building a small British WW2 force. Warlord games have some fantastic deals of building small armies.
- Find/develop a recipe for my first all grain beer brew.
- Play guitar and watch hockey with a friend in Newport.
- Learn more Swedish and maybe plan a mission over there for later this year.
- Find friends in Carlisle... I'm such a loner.
