Yeah, I feel bad about Guns of Icarus. That was a game we were supposed to play with Omagnus but never got around to. Yeah, I have no idea what you guys want to do tonight. I'm down for whatever.

Guns of Icarus is fucking awesome; would love to do that if people are down for it.

Caveat: I haven't played in like....three major patches or something? So while I'll update the shit out of that tonight I imagine. It's also worth noting you'll need an account set up on it and you might want to give a go at a few things to get used to controls.

Also of note: Garr will miss tonight, unfortunately. He sent me a text.

Worms is also good, still, I wouldn't mind giving that a go again too.

It should be noted that Guns of Icarus is probably similar to MWO in the case that it's a very specific player-count sort of game. Four is great. More would require a multiple, and less would require dealing with randoms that are outside the chat window. Communication is key in it. It MIGHT do better on a day when we can guarantee four (or eight) and everyone in chat at the same time. Also Garr not being missing, if he's one of the group.

Thoughts on this?

Sorry I had to bail like that last night, I got trapped in an interminable boring conversation and figured it was probably better to duck out than to have you guys constantly revive me while I continued trying to play out of the corner of my eye.

FWIW I don't really think it's the game for me anyway, I am not endowed with the requisite patience.

Also also: next time we have low turnout, Cry of Fear is free on Steam now and the 4p co-op is crackers

New rule: If someone has to leave, they have to leave the way that Ben left.

Next time I'm just going to mute my mic but never actually leave the call, while my music plugin sloooooowly cranks up the volume on "The Entertainer" to 500%

Are we still planning on Guns of Icarus tomorrow if Garr can make it?

So far as I know. Heard some talk about some miscellaneous folk that might want in on that business, don't know if anything's been secured on that front but at least we got the one boatful.

Well, I was going to keep it quiet, but Skills noticed how hard I've been practicing. I think we'll really kick some ass next week thanks to the work I've been putting in.

Just call me Sky Admiral Pang. Don't touch the epaulettes.

Unless they're on fire. Then hit them with a hammer, and blast them with a fire extinguisher. In that order.

Just a heads up, I might not be able to air balloons with you guys on Tuesday due to having to stay late for work doing some server room stuff. Not really under my control the day things had to be scheduled for and if I'm lucky it'll go quickly and I might still make it. Still, there's a chance it'll be more complicated than it should be and I don't get to put out engine fires and have to put out fires elsewhere. In either situation I'm sure you'll make me proud, boys, and I'm sure to let you down. ::salute::

Well, don't expect any bites on this but minus Acer and maybe minus Skills we're short one crew for our airboat. Like I mentioned before I've got a spare copy so feel free to jump on Skype if you want to join us on our exploding doom zeppelin.

Acer reading out everything he sees is pretty bad, but Sad Heartbroken Acer is even worse. A Noble Experiment.

So, just for clarity's sake, are we doin' anything this week or is everybody going to be busy with Pack All The Things?

I was under the impression that the impending meet would be preventing most people from making it. That said, i won't have anything up, so if people who can want to have a mini game night, we can make something happen. Not sure what we'll play, depends on what the people (if any) who want to do game night have.

But yeah, for anyone going to the meet (which is most of the usual suspects), Game Night is on hiatus.

I definitely will be doing last minute pack work. Sorry boss.

Yup, way too fucking busy. It's Sunday Monday and I don't have enough time to prep for meet let alone game night. So stressful!

Working under the assumption that game night's valiant return is at hand, do we have a plan for Tuesday (beyond taking the ManHogan for a joyride)?

Everyone seems game to sail the ManHogan for at least another week. Further into the future lies my cunning plan to get Talec to actually join games instead of just staring at us. This plan may involve teaching Acer how to play Magic. You may begin dismissing this plan as impossible... now.

depends. If we get the magic games for PC, you can just tell him to click the cards that are shiny and he might figure out how to play one or two. Just make sure to leave blockers, because you know he's swinging every turn.

I like our smallhogans almost as much as our regular manhogans

All right, we doin' this. Time for some wizard poker.
