If you are a member of the Facebook Upper Canada Irregular group you already know two things:
1. There is a UCI spring game in Hamilton first weekend of May. Well pretty sure there is - I booked time for it anyway.
2. There is a Google+ Ashen Stars game getting underway for every second Thursday starting on April 16.
Also a third thing is that the Space Empires campaign Deos Esse Furiosum is still trucking along - slowly but still trucking. We are on turn 23 now. The SE3 Nova Imperium newb game is no longer a newb game being in turn 95 and indeed gotten very interesting. I haven't done my turn in a little while but I do feel bad about that - see the next point.
Also Elite: Dangerous is now available on Steam. I haven't played in a bit because I've been either busy or tired from being busy - but its the bee's knees. Space bees.
I just thought it would be nice to throw out an update. The social sites are nice and all but it takes a blog post to put a pin in things so they don't wash away under the constant sea of Kitten videos and 20 minute political movements.
Well back to work.
Smash hit website for those zany and incredibly handsome guys who sometimes play games together. And I know what you're thinking, and its not weird games either but the good manly ones with lots of combat and stuff.

Starships
I'm kind of addicted to Elite: Dangerous at the moment. It is a real rush to be flying Internet spaceships again and swearing when my ship gets destroyed or when I screw up and get scanned and fined by the police for carrying contraband. Good times.
However what possessed me to write here was Sid Meiers Starships which I saw on Steam the other day as something that's coming out soon. iPad, PC and Mac. Turn based strategy. 15$ price tag. All these are excellent indicators that this game is something to take notice of. They you look at the screen shot.
That is very nice.
The kicker here is that there is no multi-player. Boooooooooooooosh. So close but no love Why does no one understand the need for a good turn based play by email (or web) multi-player space game? Well back to the Space Empires boys and wait for the next heartbreak.
