pLayday revamp?
So, I pose this question:Â would pLayday be better on a different day or at a different time or more Systems?
Currently, it seems like people may be able to make a 9pm slot easier than an 8pm. However, lately we have gone for 2 hrs (8-10pm), and some people can’t play much past 10. In the current iteration, the slot is 8-9pm and we play longer if we want to. Would it be improved if it officially started at 9, and people who want to play longer just show up early? I find this less likely to happen.
Another idea is to mix more systems in. We have been exclusively Live for a bit now, and I haven’t documented the games people actually own yet (but I should). We could branch out and fit in some Mario Kart Wii, or Team Fortress 2 for PC.
We all own PC’s. Would people be willing to pick up games like Team Fortress 2 for $20 (or Orange Box for $30), Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, or freebie’s like Command and Conquer 1, or games we may already own like Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, Fallout Tactics, Defcon, Battlefield 2?
The PC Market certainly has some other options for gaming other than FPS that support more than 4 people, namely RTS and RPG games.
Also, if we want to incorporate PC gaming in, which IM Client should we use? Since we all have an MSN Messanger accounts (your Live acct uses it, I recommend syncing them up) we could all actively begin to use that. Or Steam has a friends list as well.

my red night is somewhere in the mid 30’s. only other character i played was the guy you unlock from finishing the first arena. i played him thru the first few levels to get the achievement for beating a boss with one of his own minions.

Green Knight – lvl 25
White Knight – lvl 13
The rest are considerably lower.

Orange Knight: Level 5… I don’t really think I’m pulling my weight.

No need to ask Chue what he did this weekend…

Looking like we have enough demand for 2 parties.
Team 1:
Phokal
Hint
Ztynzo
Boramis
Team 2:
Chue
Detnap
: Claire?
: Will, Josh, Sean, Pat (there are others).
I figure Chue doesn’t need to beat the game anymore, and hence could help with Ted leveling.
Ted: Think Claire would want to play? I may call her shortly, since it would be good to know ahead of time.
Also, where do people want to be? I can host whoever wants to play locally at my apt, or we can just play over live (not as fun, right? ;)

the colons were supposed to have Open Slot in front of them…but since i used ‘<‘ brackets,…it got stripped out.

Oh, one other obvious note: big tv can easily become a Rockband tv if we get even more people, or you guys want to switch it up at all.
I figure team 1 is in the office (smaller screen), since we are more hardcore about castle crashers, and all need to be gold if playing with Hint over Live.
team 2 can be a local match if chue comes over (recovering profile), and ted and claire bring memory cards. Claire’s acct is silver, so otherwise she won’t gain any progress as a Guest.

Sure that sounds find to me, I’ll probably have to chime in over live though.

missed your call aaron – i was in a meeting.
i’ll call back when work is done.
I do not own castle crashers yet :( probably won’t be purchasing it today either.

crap, i got stuck setting up my living room lastnight, so i couldn’t show up. feels good to not have the xbox and tv on top of a stack of boxes though.
i still need to beat CC, i can’t get past the last part by myself no matter what i try, so if anyone sees me on, we should co-op for a bit.
