Been playing around with Universe Sandbox 2.

Placed a rocky planet with .91 Earth masses, a radius of 6199km and a density of 5.45g/cm3 in a stable orbit 1.28 AU from the sun and named it Minerva.

With an atmopheric density 1.21 times Earth it is a balmy 50 C.  That seems surpisingly high.

I got myself Rise of Flight and a couple of the plane packs from Steam.  My pilot, Franz something (Hoffmann? I don't remember it's from a name generator.  There are two Ns at the end for sure though.  Very German. ) got two kills on his first mission.  A Nieuport 11 and 17 GBR.  He then broke his wings on the second mission while making a turn and was seriously injured.  His fault, not mine.  Definitely his fault.


Flying a Halberstadt D.II sometime in 1916.  Cool game if you like flight sims and/or WW1 planes. 

E:  I'm using this mod called the Pat Wilson campaign generator.  Makes it easier to create and do stuff for a pilot career.  Side note:  I have been reminded by this game that WW1 planes were fucking death traps.

E2:  Got up to 6 kills and a new bird + squadron transfer.  Jasta 2, Albatros D.IIlt with a 20mm overwing gun to go with the usual nose MG:

Played Four Last Things, a point and click made entirely with rennaissance art (well, some is dated later) and music (again, some later composers, like Bach). http://store.steampowered.com/app/503400/







It's a short experience (I finished in 2 hours), not very hard or deep, and has some funny jokes, but overall left me wanting for more. 7.99 is a bit much for the experience, but probably worth it at half off.

Northern Regime: 1862 is a hardcore survival game set against the backdrop of the American Civil War in the frozen and frigid lands of Northern Dakota. It's you vs. the environment and all its inherent dangers as you tackle Confederate soldiers, hostile wildlife, and the cold to stay alive.

Goddamn, Sherpa guides on Everest don't have backpacks that big.

You'd think somebody with all that programming skill would use it for Good, not Stupid.

Six kills for the Royal Navy.  The Sopwith Pup rules all. 

Until I get my hands on a Camel. 

Death to zee Germans.

Really enjoying Warhammer 40000: Armageddon. The application of the Panzer General model to Warhammer works very well, and I enjoy this a lot more than the Panzer Corps series.

ABOUT THIS GAME

Comrades! Brothers and sisters!

In this significant day I want to tell all workers of the world, that our expectations have come true and as The Great Revolution was a perfect Party's creation so a proletarian game Crisis in Kremlin is an outstanding achievement of this great organization! Because now completely every person, even a cook, can rule the state! And this is our merit, comrades, because only we bring protection and prosperity and we must overtake the rotting West. And so every person must as soon as possible master this skill by opening Crisis in Kremlin and bring the started to an end – to the 5-year plan of new millennium!

In the game every comrade will have to solve important political and economic, but historically accurate, interesting and exciting questions and tasks. On your decisions it will depend, what the USSR will be by the end of the year 1991 (and even a bit further) – empty words, which everybody interpret in dark colors, a superpower or the new pillar of democracy, though you can try any other political mechanic, you like.

However,don't forget that we are watching you closely and honestly hope that you will not betray your labor Motherland!
