You're going to go far in the Air Force.
 
Been on a bit of a gaming kick lately. I don't fuck with the online stuff, I just play campaigns. Replayed a lot of the CODs, and am currently working on Homefront: The Revolution. One of the more enjoyable games I've played. I enjoy the insurgency/survival storyline a lot.
 
Anyone picked up and tried Stellaris? It is on sale this weekend and it looks interesting, but I dunno.
Its fun, at times. I don't have a lot of experience with 4X games, but Stellaris seems to be more of a waiting festival than other games in the genre, even other from Paradox. If you do get it, I'd say that Leviathans and Utopia change the game enough to be worth buying (don't own Synthetic Dawn or Apocalypse, so I can't comment on those), and I'd even go as far to say that Utopia is a must have because of the Ascension Perks that it adds, letting you advance further down the Synthetic, Biological and Psionic trees than you could in the base game. While I haven't played it myself, I have several friends who prefer Endless Space 2 for a space 4x game. It doesn't have a sale on steam going on at the moment, though.
 
I picked up stellaris during a humble bundle a little bit ago. Was going to give it a try on my next stint deployed.

I'll have to take a look on the expansions
 
Is it turn based or RTS? I am having a hard time finding out. Not sure how I would like turn-based games. It seems way too slow to be enjoyable. That's why I like RTS and why when Endless Space 2 was on sale over the holidays, I skipped it.
