Wednesday Theme Night - Arcade Games (August 4th)

[Handshakes]

I'll start the Doom thing around 5pm EST, and then I'll jump on board Castle Crashers when Neato starts it.

P.S.: Did they give Doom away for free or something at some point? 'Cuz I really can't figure out why I own it.

I think it was on sale for 200MSP a long time ago.  You probably impulse-bought it with the spare change in your Xbox wallet.

Sounds good.  

Whoever wants to play Battlefield 1943, look for me online around 10pm GMT / 5pm EST.
Whoever wants to play Doom, look for Handshakes online around 10pm GMT / 5pm EST.

We'll leave our parties open so you can freely drop in.

Ahh you are probably right. That is how they get you!

No takers for Doom (you bastards). I'll leave the party open for a while though.

And it was pretty fun!  What with being on the other team from everyone else and all.

Battlefield is useless for that .... :/ silly game!

Castle Crashers was fun afterwards too, even though i'm not a fan, 4player is cool.

I played around in the menus for a while to figure out why it kept separating us.  I'm pretty sure it has to do with the "Squad" feature.  It's definitely not user-friendly, but I think if we all make sure we're in the same "Squad" before entering the game, it will keep us on the same team.

We'll try again.  Great fun tonight everyone.  Thanks for the laughs.

battlefield was great fun, i would have joined in doom shakes, but i went with the majority - sorry dude. Maybe we can try doom again another night, would be nice to get a couple of multiplayer cheeves on it, especially as it's now dead online.

Good fun as always just wish Battlefield 1943 was cheaper then we would get the sixteen players need to setup a private match.

Agreed.  I thought you guys were joking when you said we needed 16 players.  That's just rediculous.

when it first went cheap and we did a proper Friday Night session on it, we managed 15 peoples and that was pulling in some random people and old 360DFs
