Gaming nights

boiledeggs

Was wondering if there is any gaming weekend nights set up on the site?

It might be fun to organise a couple of games of a voted upon game each weekend for a few hours.

Not a bad idea, but the only thing I can see stopping it would be the lack of commitment. I don't mean that in a bad way to the xbox community here. But it is a small community and would need a good few people to be on at the same time, which might not be as easy as it sounds. Go for it though. Im off xbox for the next while though.

Well the ps3 guys have theirs going pretty sucessfully I think.

This is exactly why the xbox community here formed the IRL Clan as a spin off from Boards.

There's members playing every night.

But is that not limited to cod and battlefield?

thats what we mostly play. but we are in no way limited to them


someone may come along and ask to play RDR one night for example.
and a few of us that have it if we are in the mood will join in.

dunworth1

No our forums are for members only, anyone can talk, organise games with us on the thread on boards.

As for just playing bc and cod, lately I've been playing hawx 2, magic the gathering 2012 and what not, one the lads is playing portal 2.

We play lots of games

Well if anyone is organizing a gaming night over the weekend(s) count me in.

Vicxas

Ill hop on the forums tonight and join up. You guys still taking members?

PerrinV2

Maybe we should throw up a list of games here that people have that don't already have a forum here.

OK Heres a link to a google doc.

Add your gamertag.

Enter 1 if you have the game.

Enter 0 if you don't have the game.

Add new games to the bottom of the list if they are not already there.

Boards Xbox Games Night List

Check Back Every so often to see if new games have been added.

As people add games etc, the total column will show us which games most people have. And it'll make organizing nights easier.

If anyone wants explicit access to it let me know (that way your name will show up and not "Anonymous user xxx")

Note:If you cant remember what games you have (and are in work or whereever) check your played games on xbox.xom

I like this idea.
I've filled in the spreadsheet and added 1 game(I'll add more when I remember/get home and check)

I'm on live fairly randomly but if something was organised I'd make an effort to show up.

bastados

Trojan work...updated

am on most nights after the kids go down....about 9 till midnite.

Korvanica

The Document is coming along nicely considering its only been a little while.

If anyone wants explicit access to it let me know (that way your name will show up and not "Anonymous user xxx")

If we get enough people and entries on this it will be really handy for deciding what games to buy (if you wanna play with boardsies etc)

If you cant remember what games you have (and are in work or whereever) check your played games on xbox.xom

two things you have to do post on the main page of the site www.irlclan.net
dont forget to include your gamertag.
then add people from our members list www.irlclan.net/members

the rest we will talk about in party

Cool. that's a great idea, I just have the google chat thingy. Web based mail is blocked at work, but Doc's aint, nice little system ye got going there.

boiledeggs

Just added 3 more games to the list if thats alright

Gamertag: evanomeara

PerrinV2

Gears of war the most popular game so far.

Korvanica

Ok..

Cheers for filling that out everyone.

Currently we have 18 Gamertags and their respective games. Although there have been games added to the list since some people filled it out, so everyone please have a look at the list again.

Now what nights is everyone available to game on?

I've added a second sheet to the document. With a list of the days of the week. If youre available on a certain day, just increase the number beside it by 1.

To get to the second sheet of the document, click the Tab at the bottom labeled "Days Available".

kiddums

I won't be adding to the nights tab as its quite random as to when I'm available. Generally if I'm online I'm up for some games. Just drop me a message.

Mr Freeze

Would be pretty random too when I am on.

EDIT. Just spotted Peggle on the list, class!

Korvanica

its the same for me, I just put up the nights i'm on most frequently.

boiledeggs

Same, it can usually pretty random when I can be on because of work but usually weekends and start of the week.

Slippin Jimmy

Same as the above posters im afraid.

justsomebloke

could I suggest a third page with boards username V xbox username in case someone wants to pm someone here to set up a particular game they have?

I've gone ahead and added it for you.
I know some people have the same GT and boards ID, but could still be useful for those that don't know.

Cheers cable... so I was thinkin since specific nights can't be done since people are online sporadically .. this list can be used to find people and setup games etc ...

I was thinking lads if there is a couple of us available during the week to have a game or two of gears 1 + 2 since these seem to be the most popular games.

I am available for all nights this week up until friday, if people are interested we can host a game

boiledeggs

I am after putting up some more games that I have, maybe not the best games but still have multi.

Good Idea, I may be around Thursday but I cannot be sure...

Hmm Maybe an extra page for organizing nights for gaming.

Example:

• Column 1: Organiser Name/GT
• Column 2: Day/Time
• Column 3: Game/Games
• Column 4 to Column X: People add their gamertags if they are interested in Joining.

This would allow for multiple events to be organised at once, and a quick list of players for each session would be available. People can check this whenever they like and add their gamertag if they wanna play. Leaving us with a handy list of gamertags to add etc.

I put an example up on the Document.

Probably the Best thing to do is update this thread whenever you add a new Session...

whaleboyh27

Seeing as enough people have gotten into the thread I'd like to propose a GoW night for Thursday. At least 8 people would be good to have and at the very least 6....we can organize it into groups closer to the day of who will be playing who.

kiddums

Just a thought, should we add a row in the gaming sessions tab for mode?
Ie in gears 2 you have horde mode, standard multiplayer, & co-op story.

So if you just want to play horde mode you could add that in the row, otherwise leave it blank and discuss it in party.

ah don't worry only 2 of us ended up being on line and after a few "bad" games of GOW2 we switched to play portal 2 and although we were equally as bad on that it was funny as hell

Yep, we had a fun night. I think we can make it work if we get a couple more lads commited to turning up

Korvanica

Sorry Lads.... Got held up last night getting home and my housemate was messing with a new router he bought when i finally got home so i couldn't go online ... On the bright side we now have an N wireless network and soon will be getting 100Mb fiber broadband..
