Xbox Live Pick-up Games
 

It's gotten to the point recently that there are significantly more GFFers with Live now than those who frequent the #xblive IRC channel. While most of the core group resides in there, many don't.

I figure this thread would be good for starting pick up games, maybe? Try organizing a little something from time to time in here instead of on-the-fly in IRC or over AIM, maybe? It also might be easier this way as many of us are finishing up our semesters and it might be simpler to plan ahead rather than interrupt study time randomly.

Anyway, what do people think about an Ace Combat game this weekend? Friday night, maybe? I haven't played with more than two or three of you guys at a time in that game yet.

Friday night or Saturday afternoon/evening/night would be good. We've just added a couple of new pilots recently, in Omagnus and DN, so it would be cool to get them into a game, along with Skills, Tails, myself, and whoever else might want to go a few rounds.

I'd be all for showing everyone just how superior the GELB Squadron is this weekend.

So who's all in for tonight? I know I am, Tails is, russ now. Blah is tentatively, any other assholes up for it?

I might get on this tonight, but it depends on how things go. I'm going to try and get some overtime in at work (5 hours I'm planning), but we'll see what happens.

That was a success! AWESOME.

Fucking grand playing with you fuckers. We need to do it again.

I'm kinda busy for the next 5 days so maybe someone's got an idea for a good meet up time sometime next week?

We've got to get some guys on Ace Combat one evening this week {like maybe 6 PM CST or so} maybe Wednesday night or Thursday night, since I am probably going to be working something like 30 hours between Saturday and Sunday.

Friday night would work best for me, if we decide to do something :)

Tonight's Ace Combat night. If you're gonna get on, tonight's the night to do it. (Now)

Can someone explain how we are so good at this.

I think the last time we lost a match was...early November?

Who is up for some CoD4 next week? I know russ and tails are, but who else?

I was thinking sometime between wednesday-Friday.

I, in all likelihood, will be unavailable until Wednesday, so your choice of days are satisfactory for me. Beware though, since Mass Effect came out, my Fish4 skills have eroded immensely, and I pull k/ds of stuff like 15/15, 24/21, 31/28 pretty regularly, depending on the map, while at my Call of DatArabTriple 4 peak I was getting 30/20 regularly.

In. Gotta polish up a bit, but in.

I might be able to do something tonight, but I haven't even done ANY CoD4 Multi.

i.e. I'll be teh suck.

--edit--
Actually I was better then I thought I'd be. Had a blast playing with everyone:
Naz, Plarom, etc., Would definitely do it again in the future. If only to rank up more (j/k, also to play with you guys).

So, are we still going to be playing Fish4 tonight? Or are we scheduling this for another night this week? Of course, if Call of Duty nights falls through, I would be willing to substitute in Ace Combat.

Depends on how many of us are around, I suppose. We miss your presence in #xblive, russ. ;_;

Also Mo0 got AC6 today, which should be epic lulz.

Well, I really only turn on my mini-laptop when I am at home these days, and I just never bothered to install an IRC client on it. I suppose I could hop in on days when I expect to play some online game.

Eventually we might get enough people playing AC6 with us that we won't even have to bother with randoms. Of course that would lead to arguments over how you, Skills, and myself would be split apart, since we are to AC6 what Devo is to Halo.

It is my personal belief that I could take both of you on. >>>>=(

Although I really doubt it'll get to the point where there are ten of us on at the same time and we have to split. We usually don't have more than 6, even on nights when everyone is present.

Skills, Tails, Iwata, Rufus, Rotorblade, Mo0, Blah, Omagnus, and myself make nine. And I know that we've had some other GFF people playing with us before. I guess that while unlikely, it isn't impossible to think that we could have a day where we'd be split.

And while I wouldn't presume to rank you, Skills, or myself in terms of who is best, second best, and third best at GFF, I think it's safe to say that we are the top three, and that no one of us is better than the next two combined. So you could take on both of us, but you'd lose. Unless, of course, you chose the single most dominant plane on the game, the F-117 :tpg:

CoD4 session was a success. We played for about 4 hrs but for about the last hour with frank tankin' and me being gone half of the matches, we did shitty.


Still we need to get back in the habit of playin more CoD4, So who is up for some more MP tomorrow?

I was only around for a handful of games, since the matchmaking was screwing up while I was there, but did we lose a round?

I'll probably be around to play tonight if we get a group together.

I'm in late tonight, missed last night due to random bullshit, apologies about that. Won't be around until after 8 PM my time though, so if we're rocking shit later than that, I'm all for it.

I'm totally gonna be busy (Wii Games, SLEEP, Movies, etc.,) tonight and tomorrow, so I won't be shooting up with you guys tonight.

I'm always down for some CoD4. That game is crack yo.

Haha... true.

Okay so I just added Crackdown to my list of Games. So, that's now another option =D

Let's do something tonight. Ace, COD4, etc., its all good :)

I never thought I'd have as much fun as I did on the Burnout Paradise Demo, but you
guys seemed to pull it off.

I'm game. This is, of course, provided you're not playing at crazy US hours. ;)

I could play some Burnout. No 4x4. Stunt cars only. Quarry Destination.

Oh sure, do this while I'm out of town. We should get some Mr. Driller action on this weekend/

I was aware that your post was a day or two old, but I figured you might still be interested, and to signal to anyone else on the boards who might be game. Sometime over the weekend could potentially work for taking on some challenges (I could still do with finishing of the 6, 7 and 8 player challenges I believe).

I'm probably up for it over the weekend, I'll keep an eye out for you guys.

Have they fixed the bug in Burnout that makes it so you can't talk to people in an invite-only match? Tails, Garr, Tritoch, nazpyro and I tried a few weeks ago, and no go, and Tritoch and I tried a few days later with the same results.

I'll be up for something either late tonight or tomorrow, depending on how things go, If I'm busy, if I'm on Brawl, etc.,

I was thinking of picking up Doom on the weekend but the likelihood of me playing with you guys is not good. I mean, I probably could stay up and play but I doubt I'd be able to use my headset as people will be asleep and they wouldn't want me waking them up laughing to myself. Tis a shame though :(

Now that the Cagney update is finally out for Burnout, anyone up for some online Road Rage/Marked Man tomorrow night?

I'd probably be cool to play Burnout again tonight. Several of us played it last night with positive results. The timed challenges were definitely the highlight for me. It was awesome to see a convoy of four cars hauling ass across town and actually cooperating instead of trying to destroy each other.

You guys must have been on late, because I was on ~9-10:30pm, and no one on my friends list was on, which is unusual.

Yeah, we started at 10pm central time, so 11pm your time.

Damn it. I'm definitely up for some Burnout action, but it might not be anytime soon as I've got a couple of busy weekends ahead, and well you fuckers play quite late for me.

Burnout Paradise's bike patch is out now apparantly. Anyone up for a bit of a session later today and/or over the weekend at some point?

I've got a small project to finish up tonight, but I'm up for some Burnout on Friday or this weekend.

Same here. I need to remember to download the patch and get a little practice beforehand.

So who's down for some Dukematch this weekend? After my doctor's appointment at 11:30 I'll probably be home all day tomorrow.

SURPRISE, DOGFUCKERS.

Vigilante 8 sometime in the forseeable future? Maybe after tonight's radio fun times, nutty/tritoch/etc?

Not after the radio, no. Some of us have to sleep. If others besides me are up for it, I'd be free around 8:30 or 9.

Wait.

Wait.

Are you telling me that you've got work tomorrow?

You're the only person that ranks Vigilante 8 equal to or greater than sex.

Are...are we even playing the same game here

I suppose I could do some V8 tonight around 8:30-9:00. Otherwise it'll have to wait until Friday night, since I'd like to at least pretend I'm going to study responsibly for my exam Friday morning.
