I can't do Wednesday evenings, but I can certainly do an additional session. Most other evenings can/may have things on, but not always. As I work from home, late mornings would actually be perfect for me during the week :D.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Our fault for not telling you! I think every weapon can be reloaded in the official games, some have limited shots though.

I have to say, I'd really like to do a township tale with a big group. Just going down the mines with 6 people would be brilliant.

That would be good

Rec royale your very limited in ammo, you need to pick up ammo for your weapon as you go along if u find any

Yeah, rec royale teams is weird, in singles anyone you kill drops their ammo, but in teams they don't. Makes fighting early a big punishment, rather than potential advantage, as you end up with no ammo at the end.

I see my dwarf joke went over some people's heads.

:p

I'll get my coat

:D

I'm not bashful and I'm happy to tell you that your dopey jokes are making me sleepy, I'm grumpy enough to doc your wages in township tale. Sneezy (shut up).

Stop picking at it. You're only digging yourself into a deeper hole.

Besides, your jokes will never be better than mine.

Posting here too. Valheim is on sale for£13. Vr mod currently broken due to content update but should get fixed. Upto 10 players.

EDIT - Modder says he's busy, but should get to it in Oct, not sure that's convincing enough for me.

Ahh, I would be reluctant to buy it now too. Haha, don't even have time for the VR games that I already have :p

Feel the same way, despite it not necessarily being true! Just struggling to get in the mood. Though I suspect that's more due to house hunting than issues with VR (latest place seems extremely likely that it's about to fall through).
