Now that I'm on break, I can play anytime, but Wednesdays are my corp's pirate raid day on EVE and I'm their 'field medic'...

If enough people can't do it tomorrow I may delay until Thursday. Also I think Duncan set a good precedent with Tuesdays, they even work best for me, but I don't think we'd get many people if I tried to plan it for two hours from now :)
Wait, today's Tuesday?!

Reach? The game with the weapon bloom, and slow movement, and long time till deaths? You really want to play that over Halo 4??? Huh.
(AKA: Heck yes, I'll be there!)
Um, yes.

Would love to play some Reach, but won't be able to make it this week. Had a lot of fun last week as well - let's keep this up!
Yep

Wednesday night is board game night here - the island of Catan beckons. I'll see if I can hop on Reach afterwards, though!
Yeah, definitely back to Tuesdays next week

To be blunt, why is a Halo game night being posted at DBO--or, at the very least, NOT being posted at HBO?
I'm confused.

I really need to get on these with yinz. Life has been pulling me away from online games lately, but I will move heaven and earth for Halo 3 times.
That was fun.

I had a blast playing with you guys tonight.
Me and Xenos started out by carrying a team with something like a 22 and 20 score in slayer. Then it was a great collection of DBOers rotating in and out. There were some great victories, some lol that was bad defeats, and some good midgame chats about gaming and Destiny.
Some of my other favorite parts:
- Tearing it up on multiteam Slayer on Countdown. Go green team!
- Our collective realization that DBO is a Community not a Clan. The difference? Clans win. (But they have to all dress the same)
- Winning most of our Invasion games, including skunking the other team once.
- Our mildly heroic attempted comeback on Blood Gulch. "Bring the tank forward, bring the Revenant forward, bring in everything! Let's spawn kill them!" It almost worked too!
AND
Halo Reach.
Holy hell I'd forgotten how much more fun it is than Halo 4. I loved the slightly slower pace. The longer, more drawn out one on one battles. The seemingly more worthwhile certainly less silly (I'm looking at you Mantis) vehicles. The more classic not overly scifi filtered sounds. Invasion, which is just a ton of fun. And, I don't know, just the whole thing felt better and far less so-frenzied-it-doesn't-even-really-matter-what-I-do-ish. All that and the UI is less kludgy, more informative, and doesn't list everyone's gamer tags sideways.
That was fun.

Couldn't agree more :) I especially love the weapons in Reach. And on an unrelated note I am much better at objective modes than Slayer.
Party Chat Question
by Ragashingo , Official DBO Cryptarch, Friday, July 26, 2013, 11:43 (4149 days ago) @ Ragashingo
When everyone dropped off of Party chat later on I left too (after more confusion that I'd like to admit :p) but never heard any of my teammates the rest of the night. Not even during Green Team's excellent win on Countdown. Did I do something wrong? Was I supposed to switch chat back to… something else?
Party Chat Question
by Avateur , Friday, July 26, 2013, 11:59 (4149 days ago) @ Ragashingo
Even when in party chat with you, there was no microphone symbol by your name. It was weird how you were talking in the party chat yet somehow never showed as having one. As soon as everyone left the party chat, I think we all assumed that you could hear us and speak to us in the game chat channel, but I guess not.

Haha.
Maybe because I invited myself to Xenos' game at the very first or something… When I was leaving for the evening I exited out of our party but was still paired up with Xenos.
Community Game Night this week?

Gonna have to say not available today. I might play next Tuesday. Just a question what games are you guys looking at for next week. Halo 4, reach, or odst or anything else.
Sorry for grammar on the phone.

I think we're going to try Halo 3 next week
Not Halo, but still co-op?
by SonofMacPhisto , Thursday, July 25, 2013, 14:09 (4150 days ago) @ Xenos
That makes this post sorta OT, right?
Anyone out there still got that Borderlands 2 itch? I think I'll have some free time this weekend days and night.

Hedge made some panos from our game night last night, check 'em out!
(They have my name on them if they are from last night)

Well, I'm pretty sure that's me dying while guarding the oddball guy in the shotgun room. Seem appropriate given my community "leading" kill to death ratios. :/
I'd forgotten about that shutout of an oddball match on Sword Base though. Poor blue team! :p

As someone on the blue team, I must say that you all did a great job. I absolutely wasn't expecting the game to go that way, and figured the ball would end up being guarded in a different room.
I think my favorite part was when we finally, finally killed everyone in that room, including the ball carrier, and Snipe was the only person left. And I was so sure I had him. He was hurting and done for. And he had a shotgun. Oops. Game over. :P

Yeah. I missed that part! You know, being one of the everyone in the room that died. I saw ball dropped and was expecting a long reverse of what we had done. I'll take a look at the replay (if I still have it) when I get home.
