Happy Thanksgiving. Unfortunatly no gaming on the horizon, although Stardock has a 50% off sale right now and an email did get forwarded to my wife so i will hopefully be seeing the next installment of the Sins of a Solar Empire set sometime soon!!!

Neat! I am a big fan  (http://andysrandomstuff.com/blog/2012/09/17/sins-of-a-solar-empire/)of Sins of a Solar Empire myself. If you ever have some time, it would be fun to get a multiplayer game in with you! What is your favorite faction? I tend to play TEC myself.

I like them all pretty well, the only thing im not really a fan of is how similar each faction is. Id say TEC is probably who i gravitate to the most then the Advent (it may not be the best route but i love fighters/bombers :P).

I have never ventured online with the game, not that dont want to i just have a weird schedule. Id like to try it out sometime tho :).

Well, I've never played it online either, though I have looked into it. One thing I found was that breaking into the SoaSE online scene is a bit tough; the community is very small, and in general seems to be a bit intolerant of noobs. We might be better off organizing 1v1s or Co-op comp stomp games!

I'm in Colorado this weekend, so no gaming, but I am planning to go tomorrow to one of the local game stores here that I found recently and make a few DW purchases.  Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, and what better way to support small business than to buy gaming supplies from an independent game store?  :) Doesn't hurt that they have an EXCELLENT on-hand stock of DW models.  Hopefully I can round out my French air fleet, and I might pick up some Prussian ground/air forces.
