Pity about being inconsiderate and all.

I must say I really enjoyed 18 wheeler. A nice over the top truck racing game. Smash dem vans... honk that horn. I am a redneck

Also, congrats to EBE for his Death Tank skillz.

Now I am guessing we just need to arrange the next games night.

And Nova had that scary I'm about to talk Jar Jar Binks if you don't play look.

18 Wheeler looked good, So did Giga Wings, and Fire Pro, although Fighting Vipers 2 instantly had my attention. I better find the moves for all the fighters and fast.

Bah! Softcore gaming girls...

Oh and NukleuZ, shudup you. Well all know you're the real gamesnight weak link... As there's no power in your arms!!!!!
(I reckon going off and playing Shenmue by yourself like a total nige is going to get you more flames then not finishing it. )

If I'm so softcore how come you needed me to help you unlock everything in Star Wars Demolition, you didn't even make it to 7000 credits by yourself.

Two TVs for most of the night (annoying cos I could have easily brought one), one of which was seemingly dedicated to Heavy Nova playing Star Wars by himself all night

All night? I played it by myself at 4am while the rest of people where playing Death Tank... Moron.

My lord, a gamesnight without a TV 'seemingly dedicated' to Marvel vs. Capcom?

You've marked me down 1000 there. Which would mean your worth around 3000 credits.

Hmmm, and someone doesn't know what a hardcore gamer is. Well to fill you everyone in, a hardcore gamer is simply a gamer that can play non-stop for ages, that's all. He could lose every game he plays, but as long as he still craves and still plays, he's a hardcore gamer, IMO.
Softcore gamer is exactly that.. Soft! The only way to keep them playing is to egg em' on. *cough* Also a Softcore gamer could play a vs game once, win, and then *cough* say they've 'retired'.... *cough* because they know they'd lose if they played again. *cough* .... Hmmmm, I must take something for this cold.

BTW Jah, sorry if you're reading this, but it seems we're going through some gamesnight restructuring at this point.

Yeah, good luck. With everyone's jumping ship.

posted 21-03-2001 12:33 PM         

I also hate 1 on 1 vs in that style of game (and most others). If you could have forced others to play I might of.

And I had the craving to play other games not SW Demolition, which made no sense what so ever timeline wise.

posted 22-03-2001 12:31 AM            

Honestly, if you want to prove how "hard" you are by playing with yourself all night, do it at home with some tissues nearby.

Yeah sadly, mainly as there wasn't enough people. I didn't think that would be a major factor, but it seems alot of people are needed to drown out (two nameless) wet blankets. So really on the night we needed more flexible people (or green bearded people (injoke)).

---

Please don't tell me your efforts are what you consider "flexible"?

I arrived at 1amish. After the 7 hour yawnfest that was watching you earn Darth Maul (mostly on your own, even your partner realised enough was enough eventually), we sat through what was the 3 hour yawnfest (literally, I fell asleep at this point, which isn't common for me at games nights) of you playing with Darth Maul.

I've been around while you're playing Powerstone, and to be perfectly honest, joining you at a game where you have a clear advantage over others isn't an inviting concept.
With Star Wars Demolition you have at your control what is easily the most over-powered character in the game? No thanks.

I once tried to learn how to play Powerstone. After 2 rounds of you beating the crap out of me (and everyone else in the field), laughing after every power move, and with noone bothering to explain how the freaking game works, I was ready to try something else.

So the question must be asked, 'Why do you bother?'

I have not once seen you play in a manner befitting a console PARTY. People go there to play together and have fun. This may come as a shock to you, but your taunting of new players doesn't encourage togetherness or fun.

Softcore? I doubt it. But at least I know I'm not a whinging coward like yourself.

You laugh at me for playing DDR? I gave a new game a shot and found something fun.
You mock others for playing MvC or other one-on-one fighters? We play games other than Powerstone or Techromancer.

Hell, we share the controller around. I've lost count of the number of times you've planted your ass in a seat and camped with the one controller for hours on end.

You wanna bitch about the lack of people showing up? Try making some effort to encourage their repeat attendance.

And for a first post, I think that just about does it.

Um... A few months back I suggested we have a day or something that does not involve video games. I got a few responses saying this was a good idea. Obviously from the tension that has been building between people it shows that we kinda need to go back to basics.

I think we need to have another get together, away from the consoles. Just so we can all sit and chat and do stupid things.

I have tried to be the best host that I can be. I know that some nights I have been totally crap... I try.

I enjoy the games nights, it gives me a chance to play a crap load of games, and relive a feeling from my teenage days where I would get together with my friends and go hardcore on a crap load of games for one night. It also give me a chance to meet people and understand why we play video games.

Basically... what I am saying is... I don't want these nights to end. I want to settle differences people are having... especially between myself and a few others.

I hope that somehow we can all keep together and keep the games nights going.

Grey...

Maybe a bit of conversation wouldn't hurt either. We all have similar interests don't we?
