Thanks for all the replys so far chaps! Seems we're not all just flight simmers after all
I have Arma 3 as well ( I forgot to mention it! ) I played through the campaign when I first got it 2 years ago, but not been back into it since. I always notice updates for it though, I should let it update and have a look I guess.
What else did I forget....Euro Truck Simulator 2, played it a while and not been back into that either for ages.
Same with BeamNG Drive, a super realistic crash simulator really! Real crumple physics etc.
@Rotorwash: Ahh Risk! I spent many many hours playing that (boardgame) inside our 18x24 tent in Bosnia during my Army days! It was a firm favourite amongst the lads, lots of beer was consumed whilst plotting world domination!
I had no idea it was a video game now.

I've been playing a bit of Arma 3, exploring the new Tanoa map. I have such things as Total War Shogun 2 and Rome 2, Take On Mars, Space Engineers, and the other day I bought the Feather River Canyon route for Train Sim 2016, while it was on sale.
Right now, however, I'm making a start on Witold Jaworski's ebook Blender course. The course subject is a P-40, but I'm going to use it to learn how to model ships instead.
Agreed Paul! I spent half a day last weekend just looking at different games to buy, so much choice! That Turin Test does look interesting.

Airhauler2 i brought but not really got into properly yet, now Tolkien stuff I adore! Ive read TLOTR and The Hobbit and watched the films many times, you gotta love the whole Middle Earth universe he created, I could spend hours looking at the maps and learning all the lore etc.
The one book I've not read yet is the Simmarlian....i want to though, never really considered the games, are they huge open world freeroam stuff or more MMO and level based?
@Nick: Lol! Yup that graph is spot on! As for the Far Cry stuff, I played them back on PS3 years ago, FC 2 and 3 I believe. I remember one was set in Africa and the other on tropical islands. TATAU!!!
Unfortunately what I remember the most about those games was me feeling sick from motion sickness lol! (It was probably my fist FPS game)
As for KSP, made more progress including making my first flyable aircraft! I'll post some pics later as I'm on phone at mo.
It actually looks really nice with a Typhoon type winglet on the nose, and 2 'Juno' Jet engines mounted at the rear like an A10 or Lear jet.
Also ferried 3 very enthusiastic and excited looking Kerbals on a Suborbital flight bless em! Probably a bit of an overkill with the vehicle to get em up there though, a 4 stage rocket with 4 SRBs strapped to the side of a 'BACC Thumper' SRB
.......yeah, my Apoapsis was around 180,000 meters and i came down on the opposite side of Kerbin from the launch site!!!

Edit: Here's the pics of the plane i made, called it 'JP Aero 1'. And a nice shot of the 'Suborbital Tourism' pod re-entering the atmosphere!
Feel free to add me on Steam for those that use it, i'm HappyGilmore.
I had to take out the space in my user name because of how the API works on Jack Nicholas Perfect Golf (another one i forgot to mention) when you play in Online golf tournament events.
Cheers,
John.
