  • World of Tanks: I like this game a lot. I'm a little frustrated that there's no way to block out the cursing (other than muting the whole game) from other players in the multi-player, which is the best way to play (although maybe I'm missing something). It's frustrating when you get thrown in with people who are much better than you (seems like weighting the player's skill more than the tank's relative characteristics would be a better way to queue players). My biggest complaint is that there is no two-player mode from a single console. That shouldn't be hard to do, but it doesn't exist. It would also be cool if the multi player had a way to (consistently) fight allies vs. axis type battles, rather than just a random assortment of relatively equal tanks. But it has a nice build to it, and so far we've managed to really enjoy it without spending much money on it (I bought my son a $20 starter pack, but two others of us have played it for free, and really like it). The War Stories boards are cool, and the whole thing has--again--amazing graphics. I would like it more if there were more War Stories (and more focused on actual historical events) with more in-depth playing against the AI, but overall, very happy with it.
  • It also doesn't seem to have any good flight games. I remember playing a really cool Star Wars simulator, I think called Rogue Squadron, that could be great on this kind of system. Similarly, a World War II flight simulator could be really well done, but there don't seem to be any games that have attempted it.

The dogfighting equivalent to World of Tanks is a game called War Thunder. It's a free (massive) download for PC, but currently in development for Xbox. I do not know if they've announced a release date. But if you're looking for a flight game, and like world of tanks, I think you'll like War Thunder.
I haven't played it for a while, deleting it for productivity reasons, so I'm unsure what the current game will look like. But I absolutely loved the version I played (2015ish).

Thanks Erin.  We're off to France tomorrow for a second funeral and internment.  I probably will just be spaced out since it will all be in French anyway.  This hit me pretty hard, which is a tribute to the young man I think.

I wish I could have done more.
Be well my friend. I'm sorry for your pain.

RE travel -  Venice will always be special since that's where we got engaged, but I probably won't go back unless there was a stellar deal specifically for it.  I do want to go back to travel other parts of Italy.  

I'm looking to return to Barcelona because  I've been itching for a return trip ever since I did my study abroad over 10 years ago.  If we can get a good flight deal for this year, we may swing it but it's likely not going to happen until 2019.  We always go to Croatia when we visit Europe so that would be part of the trip.    Our last Euro-trip was a few days in Paris, then to Bordeaux (by train), then Bordeaux to Croatian coast (by plane).  Then back home direct flight to HTX from there.     Every time I get back home I start thinking about where to go next, I just love Europe.  

 



May I ask where you've spent time in Croatia? I lived in Croatia for a short while, and though it was on the coast it was more of an industrial town that what passed over by the flocks of summer tourists vacationing in Istria, Split, Zadar, Zagreb, and of course Dubrovnik. I kept hearing Croatia was Europe's best kept secret, but by the time I got there it seemed discovered by the rest of Europe's vacationers. Prettiest region of sea coast and mountains I've ever seen.

We visited Zagreb and Pag both times we have gone, as we have friends over there with houses in both places that let us crash when we are there.   We have flown in and out of Zadar.    Then one of the trips over there we took a yacht excursion for several days and visited coastal towns & islands including Split, Korcula, Hvar, & Loviste.   That was kickass, and the water was so clear and beautiful, as well as gorgeous views all over the place.    Even with tourists dominating the presence in some of those stops, all of the places we went to felt relaxed, friendly, and appreciative to have people visiting.

There are several CrockPots of bean soup cooking out in the hallway under the guise of a chili cook off...

Ole Miss and MSU can play some non-con games at Big Ten venues such as Camp Randall to help the situation

Had to take an unplanned trip to France, just back yesterday.  We got caught in the snow but managed to avoid the worst of the traffic delays.  Where we were staying was really beautiful as the snow was wet and heavy and stuck to the trees.

In other news, we arrived at a new hotel and I knew immediately how to use the shower.  This is a first for me and probably means I'm a douche.
