Alright everyone we are going to give Marathon a try this week, since it was somewhat surprisingly a very popular choice. We may have to play two separate games since 8 players is the maximum per game.

Details:

Marathon 2: Durandal
Date & Time: Wednesday, August 7th, 2013: 9:30 ET/6:30 PT

Is this an indication that community game nights will typically be on Wesnesdays from here on out?

No, it's an indication of me being out of town on Tuesday... honestly I don't know which night is the best, the number of people who chose Tuesday or Wednesday are pretty close.

Cool. Perhaps we should just alternate then!

I'm going to try to jump on tomorrow night around 9:00 (central time), but will have to play it by ear.

I have Marathon: Durandal on XBLA, but I don't think I have either or the map packs... Will the rest of the participating community have those maps? (i.e. should I maybe download them?)

I do not personally have them... anyone else?

Wednesday is Co-op Night. Whenever Kermit comes back to life.

Wait, there are map packs for Marathon 2?

:-0

Bet those sold well. Hey! Let's release a map pack for a game which has literally zero players playing online at any given time, and were included with Marathon Infinity so everybody already played anyway.

Your community game night is literally going to increase the player count online by 1600% :-)

If anybody gives me an XLB code, I'll go all vidmaster on your asses.

Bummer... I can't make it tomorrow night, so if anyone is up for playing some Marathon tonight as well, shoot me a message on XBL or just respond here. I'll be online around 8:30 PT.

Zombie Kermit moves even slower than alive Kermit.

I actually was kind of serious about doing a RDR co-op night this week, but it's just as well. I'm busy. Not sure how much interest there would be anyway.

Halo 4 is coming. Looking forward to understanding the different modes that Destiny will offer and I'm hopeful that one will lend itself to a co-op night.

Let me know if you want to do RDR night, I'mma ready!

I was geared up for it tonight, but I have other Xbox Live obligations tomorrow. Bummer. :(

Dunno who you are, but thanks to you I can connect to XBL and play in this thing tomorrow!

I should be able to get on for a while around 8:30 PT...

It looks like Oholiab and I might be playing tonight around 11:30 ET / 8:30 PT... You interested/available? Anyone else?

That's getting a bit late, but I could definitely pop in for a bit right around 8:30 PST.

You could even stop by tonight...!

Hilarity ensuing big time. Better than all Halo games ever. If you're missing out on this, I feel really bad for you if you miss out tomorrow.

Yes. Yes it is.

I can't decide what I like better -- fisticuffs only or turning people into chickens...!

That was a blast! Thanks to all who joined up. It brought back many fond memories for this old gamer.

Fisticuffs, flamethrowers, crispy chickens, 2-dimensional weapons, and simultaneous respawns in the same location... I hope the group tonight has as much fun as we did!

I will probably about 10-15 minutes late just to let everyone know. Message me when you get online and I'll invite you.

We are officially on and playing! Let me know if you get on!

I'm on, but won't be attending this one. Partially because I don't want to buy a new game right now, and partially because I actually kinda busy / waiting for things to happen. Hope yous guys have fun. :)

Next week I am guessing we will play Halo Reach since it was second in popularity in our poll. I think I am going to try and do a non-Halo game every other week if at all possible, and we'll see how that goes.
