Alright, it's about time those of us who have LIVE talk about when is the best time to start a weekly GameTavern night.

I'm fairly certain the most popular games are Team Fortress 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Halo 3.

So, let's setup a day and time each week during the summer in which we'll game together. Friday and Saturday are obviously bad nights, so I was thinking one day during the week.

If everyone posts what time(s) they're free during the week I'll find a time that works for all of us.

Times:
Aladuf - 8pm et or later
Fox 6 - afternoon / early evenings
BreakABone - afternoon or later
jeepnut - anytime
Professor S - 7pm et or later on week days / anytime on Sunday
Swan - anytime except Thursday
Bube - 2pm - 7pm et anyday
Zen - Sunday
Renwood - Whenever he feels like it

What?! no Gears? Fuck this!

I wouldn't mind getting back into PSU. My only beef is that it's STILL $14 fucking 99 a month in Canada with NO other payment options. I'm beginning to hate the shit out of Sega. I hope they realize nobody in Canada is playing because they haven't lowered it yet.

Fox 6
05-15-2008, 08:20 PM
I get off at 1pm ish so anytime in the afternoon/early evenings are good.

Bond
05-15-2008, 08:27 PM
1 PM pacific time, right?

BreakABone
05-15-2008, 08:30 PM
1 PM pacific time, right?

Yeah.
And I get off generally between 2-3 EST.

So early afternoons are good for me as well.

jeepnut
05-15-2008, 08:46 PM
I can't think of any times that are bad for me right now. But that could change quickly when I finally land a job.

Anybody going to be on tonight?

P.S. Aladuf, I'll get Gears when it finally drops in price. My roommate had a copy, but now I've moved back home.

Professor S
05-15-2008, 10:00 PM
I'd love top join in, but keep in mind I work for a living. Anything before 7pm on weekdays is pretty much a no-go for me. But Sundays are good almost any time...

Swan
05-16-2008, 02:15 AM
Thursdays are no go's for me as band stuff is pretty much all day.....But random times work for Dylan

Bube
05-16-2008, 04:26 AM
Since it's summer we're talking about, I'll be available every day. The best time would probably be between 2pm - 6pm EST, which is 9pm - 1am local time for me.

Zen
05-16-2008, 04:50 AM
Sundays would be the better bet in my case, i am NOT available on the week.

Bond
05-16-2008, 12:21 PM
Aladuf and Dyne: what times work for you?

Aladuf
05-16-2008, 12:21 PM
lol sorry, I forgot to post my times :P

Pretty much from 8pm-?? pm/am (EST) any night of the week. I'm on summer break and I don't work past 7pm ever so I'm good to go.

@ Jeepnut: :D Yay! Get that Gears! :lolz:

Bond
05-16-2008, 12:48 PM
I'm pretty sure most of us have GoW. But I'm going to be honest with you, I did not find the multiplayer fun at all. I enjoyed the singleplayer a lot, but the multiplayer just seemed tacked on. Am I wrong?

Aladuf
05-16-2008, 01:29 PM
No you're right, it was definetly tacked on, Epic has even said that before. But even for how simple/basic it is, I have fallen completely in love with it and its style. It's not a problem if we don't play it though, I could probably stand to play some other MP game too. :)

Renwood
05-16-2008, 01:46 PM
Halo 3
Gears of War

when I feel like it EST

Dyne
05-16-2008, 01:59 PM
Aladuf and Dyne: what times work for you?

Actually, I don't have Gold right now. I might in a month or so, though.

Bond
05-17-2008, 11:20 PM
Alright, looks like we have all the times. I'll wait a few days if anyone else wants to reply with the time(s) they're free, and then I'll work on arranging the gaming night.

Aladuf
05-18-2008, 12:01 AM
Wow, I just realized that the only game on that list I have is Halo 3.... will we be playing any other games? or just those?

Renwood
05-18-2008, 12:06 AM
I feel I have been sorely underrepresented and can only assume it has to do with rainbows.

I forgot to say, the only multiplayer game I own on the playable games list is Halo 3. If it's not a Halo night, then automatically count me out.

And I'm adding a rule to these gaming nights - no mic, no game. We all have to talk.

Sucks to be Bond it seems. ;) :p

Myself, Swan and Cam generally talk. Especially after an accidental betrayal in GTA.

You're really going to regret that.

We played once but you never talked. It would've been nice to hear what you had to say after I came back from a 4-0 loss to beat you 5-4 :)

And why would I regret this Ren? I think we're all mature enough not to sing in high pitched voices or insult each other's parents :)

Renwood

You would think that.

Wait.
We've played before? :confused:

I don't ever remember playing with you before.
Gonna look into this, but dollar to donuts pretty sure my younger siblings.

Professor S
05-22-2008, 12:10 PM
Have we come up with a XBL game night yet?

Swan
05-22-2008, 02:25 PM
Yeah, I need some pwnage of my fellow taverners....


Though I do not own Halo 3.....I should probably buy that

Fox 6
05-22-2008, 09:27 PM
Id be willing for some CoD4/TF2/GTAIV anytime and maybe Halo 3 in small doses.

Aladuf
05-22-2008, 09:32 PM
Just a little update with my gaming situation... I bought COD4 for the 360 today, so I'll be able to join in on that with you guys.

Shit yeah son. Warning you though, Swan and I only play hardcore modes (because we are hardcore killers).

Aladuf

I never really did hardcore when I played it on the PS3 but I'll give it a shot.

We need to also have some GT 1 vs. 1 matches or 2 vs. 2 or whatever. Not only for COD but other games too. To show off our true skills!

maybe a tournament?!

Fox 6
05-22-2008, 09:58 PM
As long as I dont have to organize :P

BreakABone
05-22-2008, 10:53 PM

Thank you for volunteering to organize it.

But if you folks are serious, I can do all the grunt work.

Aladuf

I was serious. Go for it.

Bond
05-23-2008, 03:03 AM
I will get to work on what night works best for all of us when I get home (Sunday).

Sorry for the delay.

Our first gaming night should be a day next week.

Bube
05-23-2008, 08:02 AM
How about some Wii gaming nights? I just bought Mario Kart, and I think it's the best ever.

Bond
05-26-2008, 12:58 AM
Alright, let's try for 8 pm est / 7 pm ct / 6 pm mt / 5 pm pt on Wednesday, May 28th.

8 PM ET WEDNESDAY 28th

Game will be Team Fortress 2 or Grand Theft Auto IV this week, depending upon what people want to play.

Aladuf
05-26-2008, 01:05 AM
Well, I won't be able to join for that one. I own neither on 360.

Bond
05-26-2008, 01:09 AM
I was thinking we could pick a specific game each week, but I suppose in reality we could just play whatever game most people have who are currently on LIVE at the time.

Swan
05-26-2008, 03:27 AM
Yeah, that sounds like fun but I will be a tad late for this. Hopefully we can get a whole GT game going

BreakABone
05-26-2008, 06:11 AM

I'll put it in my calender.
But Wednesdays are generally reserved for my Halo nights.

Which means he won't show. :p

Fox 6
05-26-2008, 05:33 PM
I should be able to make this, i get thurs and fri off so I can nap when I get home at 11 till 4 or so :P.

Renwood

Bond
05-29-2008, 11:03 AM
Well, I would say our first GT Gaming Night was quite fun.

Perhaps we should move the time so Little Earl can play.

Professor S
05-29-2008, 11:18 AM
What the hell are you talking about? We already had one? WTF?

jeepnut
05-29-2008, 11:29 AM
Yeah, it was last night. I completely forgot about it as well.

Professor S
05-29-2008, 11:41 AM
My vote is we set this up for the forseeable future, so that we can all schedule around it and make time to blow each other up.

Bube
05-29-2008, 12:18 PM

And to make it a Halo night. Or Hardwood Backgammon. Or Texas Hold'em. :)

Professor S
05-29-2008, 12:23 PM
Who has Battlefield 2?

Aladuf
05-29-2008, 06:35 PM
Wait, so you guys actually played last night? hmm... this is a but unstructured, all that was given was a time and day but nobody talked about it or chose a game on here I don't think.

I want in on the next one! COD4 please! :D

Swan
05-29-2008, 06:41 PM
I think it was more so we were all just playing and decided to play together.



Oh yes, and Bond actually TALKED!

Fox 6
05-29-2008, 06:58 PM
It was pretty fun last night. Earl missed his chance to hear Bonds voice, and Combine showed up for the action also. More people wouild make it so much more hectic. :D

Swan
05-29-2008, 06:59 PM
I think one the best parts was when I was driving at Combine and he shot me and killed me...then my vehicle ran him down

Professor S
06-03-2008, 10:51 PM
So are we going to play again?

Swan
06-03-2008, 10:53 PM
Hopefully my Sexbox won't gay itself out.

It's freezing a couple times each time I am about to start a new gaming sesh. I have to turn it off and then on again a few times so that it won't.


As well for some reason it keeps disconnecting from Live. The internet connection is fine but I am clueless. It signs back on right away after. I just have to prompt it
