The hangout thread (organising social gaming etc)

[Unseul]

Ooooh... I've just thought... my son has started scouts now, and they finish at 9pm on Mondays. That could make things awkward. Though I think he's technically allowed to walk back by himself. I may have to miss a few games (or drop out, and come back and hope it lets me pick back up where we left off, assuming you lot don't simply finish).

Edit though tomorrow my wife might be able to get him.

Joint first is winning!

 

[Unseul]

I hope you guys realise just how much pressure there is on me here

 

[Unseul]

That's prescription drugs, to make it clear!

Prescribed for something else though right?

 

[Unseul]

It'd be nice to have a bit of craic.

 

[Unseul]

Potentially not going to make Monday. Should have a meeting to go to.

 

[Unseul]

What about Scouts? is your boy still going to it ?

Yep, wife will hopefully handle that since she's not working that evening.

Need to get my son a phone so he's got a torch on him.

 

[Unseul]

I shouldn't be there. Having fun at a meeting in the pub instead.

 

[Unseul]

hang on !

you did not saying anything about a PUB !

you said MEETING, thought you were going to the Directors board meeting with flow charts etc
NOT A PUB !
where my invite ?

It's a meeting between rugby club committees. Of course it's going to be in a pub! Could be quite fun as it's dealing with a bit of a sore topic .

 

[Unseul]

What do y’all even do on Rec Room? The only thing I’ve found half way fun on that app previously is the paintball mode

Paintball/laser tag when we've got the numbers.

 

[Unseul]

if we have 6, then rec room 3 games i know will take 6 - Paintball, rec royale and laser tag

Rec royale could be done with 2 teams of 3 in the same lobby, unless they've made it so you can have even bigger teams?

 

[Unseul]

I'll be on. Walkabout golf has an 8 player limit now. @MoNkeE do you have walkabout? If not, it's absolutely worth it.

 

[Unseul]

I don't mind.

Monkee, not sure if I've already put it down, but my number in after the fall is: 626 196 312

 

[Unseul]

Rec Room it is then, paintball, laser tag etc. Fairly sure my rec room name is rugbyraggs

 

[Unseul]

That was as usual, great fun .

Thanks guys, and welcome Monkee/merlin.

Walkabout mini golf. Best social game there is. We might even beat you at it first time we play

 

[Unseul]

Thanks for the games on Monday night. Nice to have a new member in the hangout crew Welcome Monkee.

Sorry for all the complaining, but even Pleyor was killing me with ease It was so frustrating with the controllers. I knew one was going but in the middle of the first laser tag game the second one went as well. Isn't just the thumbsticks, the buttons in both controllers are failing as well.

Because the buttons are failing as well, I wonder is it a software problem. Haven't had time to test anything this week yet. Might do this evening. Reconnect them to the headset or change the batteries etc. @Ravenger How long were you waiting for a replacement? If I have to send them back, that's how long I am going to be out from the Monday nights

They'll probably ask you to factory reset as a potential fix. Tell them everything you've done to try and fix (batteries in and out, calibration, factory reset). I had a second headset to test on. Meant we got straight to the RMA option, rather than a slow back and forth.

 

[Unseul]

Anybody fancy some After the Fall @ 8pm tonight?

Might be able to.

 

[Unseul]

I might be around. Want to give my controllers a go after doing some maintenance on them

Also want to give After the Fall another go. Wasn't my favourite but willing to see what difference the updates have made.

I don't really want to run with you guys, it'll be far more fun for you to do it without me.

 

[Unseul]

??

I'd either be sat there deliberately not killing anything, or I'd be killing a ton of stuff. Neither is as much for you guys.

 

[Unseul]

How come? Are your guns one-shotting everything, or is this just a game skill thing, ie you know how to play better?

On lower levels, some are one hit kills. But I also know the spawn points, tricks and tactics etc. Being a good shot is very handy, so is knowing when to use what weapon etc. Lots of the early game is unlocking stuff for later use, picking up extra weapons from frozen corpses in places, building your arsenal. Later game it's about taking on the hardest difficulty, where knowing strategy is nice, but you've all got to do well with good weapons.
