One to look forward to!

Might have to watch the film before this comes out, haven't seen it in years but seem to recall it has gained some cult status.

That's great, a new course in a few weeks

I do wish they would release an update to allow a couple of more players play together.

Labyrinth supports up to 8 players. Not sure if that'll be the case with the other courses.

Main lobby is 5 player only, hopefully they're upping to 8 for all?

hopefully

The only problem with bigger lobbies is the games will take even longer!

Ravenger · 6 Jul 2022 at 11:36

It's approx 2 hours for 5 players. That's approx 25 mins per player. 8 players could be over 3 hours.

Don't think my battery will last that long! I wonder if we'd actually get 8 people together regularly on a given day.

Think you're being hopeful, 8 players means a lot more interactions, chatting, consoling, giggling etc

Glad I get a 10K battery pack x2

Might get you an extra 20 minutes

I don't think it takes 2 hours with 5. We never start at 8pm and always finish before 10pm. If we got 6-7 players and timed it right, you could let Raggs go off for his 10 minutes while the other players take their shot.

Going to be hot for 2 weeks, are we still meeting up or ?

Unseul · 10 Jul 2022 at 09:22

I'm happy to. I'll be going on holiday to Israel for nearly 4 weeks at the end of the month, I need to get better with the heat

I'm taking my headsets to Israel, so there's a chance I'll still be able to play in the hangouts, thought it'll be a bit late, we'll see.

Wow 4 weeks! Enjoy.

Tomorrow is one of my days in the office, but I am planning on joining.

I'm away this week. Not sure if I could make a Minigolf session as not enough room where i'm staying (at least not without kicking the family out of the accommodation!)

Seated games would be ok.
