The hangout thread (organising social gaming etc)

OK, so far we've got:

Unseul/RugbyRaggs
Ghanjah Warrior
Ravenger
ShiWarrior
Musty Pie

@melmac you joining us?

6 gives a few options.

3v3 laser tag/paint ball (I prefer laser)
AmongUs (never tried it)
Isle of Lost Skulls - 2 simultaneous runs with two groups of 3. I'd be more than happy to play this again!
Rec Royale - try and get two teams in a server at a time.

Rec royale is a bit awkward as if you lose someone early, they'd then have to wait for the end of the game.

melmac · 13 Sep 2021 at 17:42

I should be around as well.

ShiWarrior · 13 Sep 2021 at 19:43

Township Tale (id have to buy it though)
Gorilla Tag ? (id have to get this too)

Unseul · 13 Sep 2021 at 19:47

Gorilla tag would be great fun, but it's bad for your knuckles/fingers! Definitely an option for the future.

Buy township tale. Get it. Get it. Get it. Upto 8 on the server at once.

Unseul · 13 Sep 2021 at 21:04

That was great fun with 6 in laser tag. Too late for me to consider going on a quest, I fast on Mondays so want to get to bed early to reach breakfast sooner!

Ravenger · 13 Sep 2021 at 21:22

Great fun, I was rubbish, but I blame that on my hip tracker not being available, as I was stuck on head oriented movement. Well, that's my excuse!

ShiWarrior · 13 Sep 2021 at 21:34

6 in lasrer tag is sooo much better than 4 !

OK, so ideas for games, now we're building numbers?

Rec Room - Multiple options
Walkabout Golf - Nice mini golf game, might be a bit too slow? Upto 5 players
Township tale - RPG game, upto 8 players on a quest 2 server (not crossplay with pcvr version).
Population one - team battle royale, teams of 3 (might be worth trying rec royale first).
Cookout - Making sandwiches with teamwork? Looks like it might be fun in a group. 4 player I think.
Spaceteam vr - Looks amusing, teamwork type game, upto 6 players.
Real vr fishing - nice relaxing fishing simulator, upto 4 in a room.

Musty Pie · 13 Sep 2021 at 22:13

Ive been super tempted with walkabout golf, although ive not tried it myself yet! I dont mind a chilled game like that once in a while!

GHANJAH WARRIOR · 14 Sep 2021 at 00:33

i take it im the only one on pcvr.....for township tale.....
was having a wee go before rec room.....but refuse to join random server with unknowns....

On quest2 there are less areas and features i believe but they're releasing more for it every twoweeks to bring it into line with the pcvr version lower graphics of course).

Only 8 quid and gives you a private server.

Musty Pie · 14 Sep 2021 at 10:36

WAs everyone on Quest2 native rec-room last night or do people play the PC oculus version?

I might try run the PC one next time over airlink/PC link to see if it looks any nicer?

Ravenger was on the steam version I guess? On his Index. I think Shi has run it on the PC version sometimes. I just go with standalone since I'm not too worried about it looking prettier, when it's fairly basic anyway.

Just found it a tad blurry but thats probably the stock strap not helping things and also getting a spot warm after the first hour!

What an idiot not knowing how to reload the guns in the first game of Lazer tag! i was literally running around dropping guns after 5 shots trying to get another gun to shoot stuff with! .... Moron!
