Bargain Bin Night
Need 12 games to Poll for Sat 19th
Febuary Schedule will be finalised around about next weekend.
Any other ideas welcome.
Gears 2 on the last Friday of Feb would be good. :)
For Bargain Bin night, maybe use the same games from the first poll (the ones that didn't win) with a few additions.
yes Gears is a defo
and i would probably do the same BBB list as last month without Darkness and maybe the games that got no votes!
can i suggest topspin 3 or table tennis, both great fun, and i need online cheeves
your the only person that owns them :P
you would do better asking in the forums for someone to play with, you may get lucky and have atleast 1 other person.
I will put Table Tennis in this months BBB though
This might seem out of character for me, but I would like to suggest Halo: Reach for any day you find fitting.
yes yes, i love Reach too and it will be getting atleast 1 day
Just some ideas..
Quake 4
PRG 4
Burnout: Revenge
Rainbow Six: Vegas
Battlefield: Bad Company I
Timeshift
Dark Sector
GOW I

They're all good, Burnout revenge (£20 Play.com) is pretty hard to come by and we play BC2 and GoW2 so their first iterations wouldn't be needed. Others are all good, especially some RSV and PGR!!
RSV is £1.99 (http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/xbox-360/tom-clancys-rainbow-6-vegas-preowned/_/XT1638/productpage.html) pre-owned at Gameplay (RSV2 is £3.99 (http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/xbox-360/rainbow-6-vegas-2-preowned/_/XT1907/productpage.html), currently out of stock though), sounds like a good addition to me, quality game but i've still never played it online.
Both PGR games are really cheap these days too, still need to get them back at some point.
Just an idea, but maybe a little Castle Crashers would be some fun.
MW2
f*ck BlOps :D
FRIDAY NIGHT: Reach and Blops would be nice.
BBB: Prey, Timeshift, RSV2 and Far Cry 2 would also be nice.
All just ideas. ;D
table tennis might be fun for a bbb night, we could do a small tourney if we have enough people. and for those that don't have it, well you can pick it up for a few quid!

I bought it for £1 from Gamestation the Christmas before last, played it once and promptly gave it to my mate!

Even if I still owned it I wouldn't join in, the game is crap.

maybe if it had chainsaws in it #)
I also need Theme Night games
Racing
CoOp
Arcade
what about a poker night
Leave the Poker until spring. They're doing a 1 vs 100 style Full House Poker game on XBL starting some time in spring. We could all get in on that together and no-one'd have to buy any games or anything.
that would be awesome, am i right in thinkin it would be free to gold members, i love poker
great shout Lego, i will keep my eye out for that. We did a 1v100 night when that was about.
It's completely free to Gold members, and last time (1 vs 100) they did a free live weekend so the silvers could get in a go aswell.
wicked , oooh can we play strip poker too ;D

I'm thinking that since HydroThunder is going to be onsale again, we could do that again on the Racing night so that those who didn't get to join in last time, could join in this time.
Who provides the XBL cameras/Kinect for this strip poker idea?
If Hydro Thunder comes towards the end of february I might buy it just to participate (birfday munny :D)
I was thinking GRiD for Race Week
and Hydro Thunder for Arcade Week

I wonder if the poker thing will last longer than the failure that was 1 vs 100.

I doubt it. They plan on just doing these games as seasonal things. And at this point they view these games as Beta's for the whole gameshow system.

There is so much right in that one sentence I don't even know where to begin
Lost Planet, theres a bargain bin suggestion, though I think it may have been in the previous poll!
Another Left 4 Dead night perhaps too.
yes, Left 4 Dead 2 had a nice turnout. If Vidar wasn't on nights and neato wasn't ordering pigeons about we'd have had 4v4.
Cheatbox and CheatMaster316 were too good though :P
count me in for hydro thunder, gettin it on the 3rd when i get paid x

I'd go for Hydro Thunder as a lot of us already have it, Breach does look good but I don't think it'll stay at 1200MSP for long.
Hydro Thunder will be 800 in the sale too, down from 1200
will it still be on sale on the 3rd ???

go look at marketplace schedule
simple yes or no would suffice,
where is it ?

i don't know the answer, but i do know that it's on the Market Place Schedule which you can put into the Search bar at the top.
The answer is yes!
thanx, but i found it, god everyones in a bloody mood tonight, grumpy gits
Why do I get the feeling that it might be a good idea to stay offline tonight ;)

Liking the Friday list Failed. :)
First friday'll be good. I've had it 11 months now and I've yet to have a single game of TF2. Looking forward to that game night especially. The rest I can't participate in, but that's ok because I CAN PLAY ON MY OWN :(
;D
This is pretty filthy but I found it funny, I don't know what that blops is so I googled it. My safesearch is off but anyway the second result "urban dictionary" I found amusing and certainly can't be the same game! P.s don't banhammer me :P
yeh sorry Black Ops is Blops and Team Fortress will probably be TF2 from this point forward.

Ha ha, perhaps they shouldn't have shortened Black Ops to Blops after reading that!!!

no it's ok, i am sure there will be other game nights in-between that i can play in, like BC2 for instance :)
that's ok then, what about my other North America night people, we have Halo and i may just do Gears again as it had a good turn out. Any suggestions?
Either Gears or Halo is fine for me on the American night.
I had already penciled a Halo night, so if theres no other suggestions or changes between now and Thursday. I will post Febuary finalised schedule on Thurs evening.
Maybe a Halo 3/ODST bargain bin night (or at least as a poll option) for the poor people before the servers are shut down (sometime in the middle of february I believe)

For reals?!?!?! :o I had no idea. I need to dust off my copy of Halo 3 to finish up some achievements.
No there not, that's just a rumour. With no basis in reality >_<
February 2015 maybe!
In that case nevermind. :D
;D took 'em long enough to close Halo 2 servers
Quote from: Failed on January 25, 2011, 09:16:00 PM

Around last April wasn't it? Nearly six years after the game was released.
Yes and since then we've no longer been hampered by a 100 limit friends list ;)
Halo 3 / ODST is not being shut down.
Now that we got that cleared up, I'm enforcing a rumor-free policy. Rumor posting is not allowed. Let the children on other forums rumor themselves until their hearts are content. We're too old to be bothered with such things.
If you hear an interesting rumor and want to share, specify that it's a rumor. Otherwise, provide a source. ;)

back in my day, the mags would be sensible about their rumours and give us the good ones. This new fangled interbob just breeds kids with no respect for their elders spewing random rumour garbage, if i had a mind, i would show them a thing or two. If we didn't do things the way they were supposed to, my da' would clip me round the ear and that's if i was lucky. I used to walk 15mile for rumours back in my day, on my feet with no shoes. In the war, you didn't have rumours, rumours got you killed, facts boy, facts. ... why.... and then... it was back when ... vera lynn ...zzzzzzzzzz
zzzzz
zzz
what was i saying boy!?!?
Yeah, I frequent Bungie.net and they are quite upfront about stuff of that caliber. They havent even mentioned dropping support for Halo 3 or ODST. That said, Halo Reach and Gears 2 sound like fun. Maybe some ODST.
For a bargain bin game, I suggest Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. I would be quite interested in seeing what a quality room in that game would be like.

Any chance of Bargain Bin games making it into the U.S. Night?
Otherwise, here are some other suggestions for U.S. Night:
Bioshock 2
GTA IV
F.E.A.R. 2
---------------
If not, I'm good with Gears 2 :)
I dunno wether i would have the time to organise and host an American BBB night.... i'm pretty much at my limit with what i organise atm.
The other problem, I would have to swap a popular game out of a Sat slot, in order to put in a game that may only attract a few people. Members are more likely to appear for Gears, Halo etc than Prey.
Weds i'm off, Fri i'm off and Sat i'm off til the end of March. Hopefully NA Nights will be pretty busy on their own by then and neato will be back from pigeon duty to take them off my hands and more .. maybe, tis up to him. If there's more demand for gaming nights and more members to pool from, then i can't see why NA Nights and BBB Nights can't become more frequent.
You can always organise your own and i will place it in the schedule and you can host and send out invites and have a gay ol' time!! I may even turn up myself, aslong as i'm free and awake. Who knows where we will be after Febuary, the more people turn up, the more enthusiasic i'll be about doing more game nights and pleasing as many people as possible.
Fair enough good sir...carry on.

Definitely. Starting this Spring I'll have a lot more free time. We'll sort out a steady schedule for NA Nights. :)
shift swap, i won't be able to do Saturday's once Spring appears, i'll be busy repopulating nature :P
If there's going to be a Racing Night planned and it's not set in stone yet, here are my cents:
Pure
Split / Second
Admittedly, I just picked these two up after having eyed them for a while, their demos really piqued my interest a while back - don't know if anyone else got into these, but if so, maybe a night could be made out of it. :)

If there's a racing night, I vote Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing!
... it's the only racing game I own on 360 (other than a few XBLA games). :D
Pure is excellent as is Split/Second. Maybe, i had planned GRiD but Pure would be fun too. BLUR too, i think a few of us have that one.

I own grid, pure, forza 3, pgr 4, and F1 2010. Please can we play one of those, i would hate to miss out on racing night. Maybe put it to a vote (so i can bribe people - i have info on ALL OF YOU) ;D
he does, he got it from me ;D
I've got Blur, Grid, F1 2010 and Forza 3 all of which are still wrapped. :)
i seriously need to spend some cash on games
Just curious, did anything get pinned down for the Bargain Bin Night?
