Game Night 080905

We’re trying something new this “season”.  We’re putting Halo on a hiatus for XBOX Night and introducing Call of Duty 4 for our first XBOX night of the school year. That’s this Friday Sept 5^th at 6:00.  Pizza will be served.  $5 donation/person is always welcome.

Though Halo 3 was rated ‘M’ I always considered it to be a fairly mild ‘M’. Call of Duty 4 is very realistic in its depiction of War and earns its M rating; it’s definitely not for every youngster.

The COD 4 multiplayer game is also not as party friendly in that only one person can play per console. Therefore, this Friday, we can only invite those that can bring an XBOX and a COD 4 game with them. Everyone that can make it MUST RSVP.  No surprise visitors since there is no flexibility in setting up (1 person per screen). For those that CAN bring an XBOX & COD4, you can invite one guest; though be prepared to switch out with them if they come to play!

Gears of War 2 is scheduled to come out in November.  It is one of the BEST co-op games and we may try it on XBOX night when it comes out.  I read a review in XBOX magazine about a new “Horde” mode that allows 5 people to go up against increasingly harder waves of computer-generated foes.  There are also some interesting new multi-player games such as “Submission” which is capture the flag with the twist added that the flag is alive and shoots at you!

Taking time off for the summer

We will not be hosting XBOX night during the summer.   Just taking a break. We’ll see you in September

Game Night May 3rd

Busy Friday, we have to move XBOX night to this Saturday.  If you can make it, you can come by starting at 5:30. We’ll order Pizza.

 

For those that have XBOX’s but don’t care to bring them, it would help if you could bring a controller or two. We seem to run short of them.  Other accessories that help: Headset, wireless dongle. COD4 game.

 

Of course the more consoles we have the less sharing we’ll have to do.

 

Let’s try to get a few challenge matches in and we might split up into two different groups so it doesn’t get so crazy trying to get everyone ready for a single game.

 

Please leave a comment if you can make it.

Game Night April 5

April XBOX night will be this coming Saturday night, due to a conflict on Friday.
We’ll start play at 6:30 Sat April 5.
We’ll provide snack and drinks.  No pizza this month, sorry.
Please let me know if you are coming and if you plan to bring your XBOX & Halo 3 game.
If you have COD4, bring it just in case.

We had 5 XBOXs and 14 players.   We started out with a couple of ladder challenges.David defended his #1 by beating JR 15-7 on High Ground.  Dimitri jumped to the top of the pack by defeating Jacob and moving to #3 also playing on High Ground.  Connor defended his #2 position by defeating Ed 8-3 with the 15 minute time limit running out.  We welcomed  first timers Jake, Zach, and Kevin. 

Here is an amazing clip of Dimitri’s Grenade Jump used to assassinate Jacob in High Ground.

Record night!We had 6 XBOX 360’s with three additional in the wings (owners didn’t bring them).  We can officially say that we have completely transitioned to the 360 and won’t be using classics anymore even for secondary games.This was probably the best layout we’ve ever had maximizing the most screen space.  Maxed out we had:4 playing on a 32″ HDTV in 1080i2 playing on a 40″ HDTV in 1080p2 playing on a projector against a wall2 playing on a 27″ TV2 playing on a 21″ wide LCD monitorWe maxed out the game at 16 with a total of 17 people playing during the night:MattHansPaulParkerHudsonJohnDavidTommyJayConnorHunterAlanKristenDimitriJRLeeSanjeevThe night taught us that we’ll have to have a little more planning next time so that things go smoother.  To that end I will now ask anyone that plans to attend to RSVP at least by the night before.  If you won’t know until the last minute, you are welcome to come but you will not get priority in whatever layout/games/tournament/challenges we come up with to accomodate everyone that RSVPed.More ideas on how will mix things up next coming soon….

Game Night Feb 1

We’ll start 7:00 this friday or if you’re going to the early Lake Pointe talent show, whenever you get here!

We’ll provide drinks and snacks.

Postmortem 080104

The first XBOX night of 08 went off with a bang.  We had a great turnout with Matt gracing  us with his first time to play Halo3!  Lee played almost all  night and is steadily improving.  JR contributed to a high level of competition.  Several of the team games seemed to come down to the last shot.  We had 4 360s and a WII setup.  For the most part we just used the 3 XBOXs on two TV sets and Paul’s projector with Cassidy playing on the 4th hooked up to a 19″ monitor occasionally.  Attending and playing were:

Alan
David
Dimitri
Ed
Cole
Cassidy
Connor
Jay
John
Lee
