Gaymers?

Ash885

I remember a while ago someone was asking on the forum if anyone played video games/interested in them at the very least for a group to setup.

Anywho, wondering would their be an interest in a gaymer community and/or group ála what London Gaymers have going (regular enough meetups, games nights, Discord server, PS4/XboX/PC online play etc.)

I myself play a good bit of Overwatch on PS4, League of Legends, Hearthstone. Open to trying new things or at least get the ball rolling on something. Or at least make some new friends (I'm tired of losing on my own)

I tried search, but frankly I think Page 1 of the forum could do with eh...slightly less drama-filled threads light-hearted!

I'd be up for it, even if it's just the occasional online game- I don't really game online but I'd like to. Maybe we could share gamertag on thread?

I'm DapperZo on Xbox Live.

I play mostly Madden, some shooters and random other stuff when they mood takes. Currently working through the original Mass Effect trilogy- couldn't get into Andromeda when it came out, must give it another go though...

I like the sounds of that. Big into the Assassin's creed multiplayer and a bit of Destiny and Minecraft from time to time. 
For those on XBox could setup a boards LGBT club there and those that wanted to could join?
Not sure if the PS4 has something similar?

I'd be up for a club on Xbox. Can't seem to do it away from my console though, but I'll be back at it at the weekend.

dickiepower

Cool, Clubs are under the community tab of XBox home. I've gone ahead and created a private Boards LGBT (can change it later I hope) club. Search and request add if desired. :)

This was the thread I was thinking of, it's depressing to think that it's 2 years old!

I'm a PC gamer, no consoles for me

Ah, that's the one! When I tried searching a lot of threads with 'gaymers' came up from other forums.

Console gaming can be very expensive and time consuming. Not that PC isn't when I think about it; saving for a desktop to do the high end gaming.

I'm PC at times too on the laptop, mainly League and Hearthstone though. And stream a little bit on Twitch.

I'm quite happy with my setup tbh- got a 2nd hand xbox one for 150 and I have a sub to EA Access and Gold- free games to play with both for less than 100 per year. Good games too, especially in EA; Madden, the ME trilogy, Dragon Age, Titanfall...

Ten of Swords

Ooooooh, I love Dragon Age 2 (even if BioWare has really dropped the ball on games lately). I have an EA Origin account but I use it so rarely because their titles aren't very good for their price tag, but EA do have several exclusive titles.

I haven't played that in ages actually, must fire it up again

Honorable mention for Syndicate (2012) - another Origin title. Damn I love that game, one of my favorite FPS games but it's short. EA considered it a commercial failure

All I want is to be able to play Star Wars KOTOR on my Xbox One. Honestly the best game I've ever played.

Anyone got a WiiU or Switch? Would love some people to play online against in Mario Kart 8.

I'd be into something like this. I'm on PS4. Big into horror games, Silent Hill on the PS1 is what got me hooked. Unfortunately there hasn't been a decent horror game in years. I downloaded Amnesia a few weeks ago and played a small bit. I prefer 3rd person view and amnesia is 1st so that's why I haven't gone back. I'm also a fan of the Batman Arkham games. Bloodborne is probably my favourite current generation game.

I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anything materialises. I'm also going to check out the meet up link Joey posted.

I'd love to be part of an Irish gaymers community. Xbox boy here. Assassin's Creed fan and a bit of old Just Dance too when the mood gets me.
Great idea. Ta!

elperello

Just a bit of friendly advice.

You may want to pick another name for your group.
Gaymers is a UK cider company owned by the C&C Group.

All the best with your project.

Oh I remember googling that years ago (and being even more curious what a gaymer was :pac:)

Well I might look into setting up some sort of a server for either voice chat, FB group or something of that kind. Might be nice to make it into a social event a lá the event posted below.

Putting the +5 Intellect thinking cap on for this one!

No love for Steam so (

nbsr

That sounds great!:) I play overwatch on ps4 and big fan of the uncharted series and animal crossing, tho my computer is quite bad and near its death nd im not able too play as many computer games as used too few months ago (tho still then it would crash alot) i used too be able play tf2 and i also played ( a very lil) league+hots and im a new too wow.

Ive been apart and help ran some lgbt gameing discord servers before but i think and irish one wud be great!

Ash885

Apologies for this - died as quick as I thought of the idea hah

Well in the new year I should have a lot of time to spruce something up á la London Gaymers. Everytime I see their twitter feed, bowling, drinks, board game nights etc. I'm envious ^^' Could be a laugh to organise people not necessarily into hardcore gaming but something other than Wet & Wild, outdoorsy groups. Trips to Token Arcade, conventions as a group maybe.

Only thing is I'm East coast so if it's headed that way locations are varied. Other than that I'll get to seeing this get a bit more bones on.

PS I pm'd you nbsr my PS4 addie. Let's play (I warn you...I main Widowmaker...)

I mainly play DOTA 2, and retro games! Favourite retro game is Super Metroid.

How do I request? Also big into board gaming.

dickiepower

If you're on PC you'll need the XBox app and look for clubs in sidenav and search for it from there using the search. Just need to search for Boards LGBT.

Vojera

If you're into board games, I saw on Facebook that Dublin Gaymers are hosting a games night in Token: event info.

I wonder what the deadline for these interviews is? The original shout out for volunteers went out 2 weeks ago on one of the developers twitter account.

Hope they get a good uptake anyway.

Yes - a Nintendo group would be great. Mario Kart 8 & Splatoon 2 would be a lot more fun to play

Steam are running a sale this weekend of LGBT themed games if any gaymers are interested

Whet are they about?

Ten of Swords

Both are story driven, not action. Gone Home is set in the 90s and the main character is a girl arriving home from college, the house is empty and her family are missing. Life is Strange is about a student able to reverse time in order to prevent bad things happening to her friends.

Anyone else really like Mass Effect? Like, really, really like. Only game I've played in the last 4 years.

Miike

I've gone back playing League of Legends after a several year hiatus! Got very board of Overwatch Anyone still play?

Ash885

I still play League! Though I'm addicted to their new card game, Legends of Runeterra. Got an early access key :pac:

Miike

Necroing this thread, I'm sick of playing games on my own and after 12 months of lockdown where my only "social" interactions are colleagues I'm slowly losing my marbles!

Anyone play PC Overwatch?

Rick_

Only PC game I play now is Unreal Tournament 99! Still love the online stuff, even after all this time.

I also have a Switch if anyone else wants to add for online matches in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or even some 2 player retro stuff?

I have a fortnight off work shortly so will spend a few days just doing nothing but gaming and enjoy myself!

Two words - Genshin Impact... Obsessed!
