View Full Version : Who's on Live on the weekends?

Title.
Basically, because I play PC games with a friend most weeknights (save Thursdays, when I seldom play anything due to soccer), most of my console gaming is on the weekends, which aren't the designated time for any game, really, based on the threads here. So my question is, who's typically around on weekends and up for, say, a bit of Bad Company or Gears 2, or some other game I might own? (I do have CoD 4, but would rather work on the SP a little to get used to any given game before leaping headlong into the MP arena.)
I'm pretty new at Live, so I'm bound to not be very good and maybe a bit quiet, as aVaKus and Kielaran found out when we did Horde last Friday, but I'm also hopeful that'll change as I get used to everything.

I'm usually gaming every other weekend, as those are the times my girlfriend is otherwise occupied. This weekend, for example, is gaming weekend for Kato.
I have a slew of online games available, so just look me up anytime. I'm not some elite player, either, so you won't feel like you're holding me back if we team up.

Add me up Doogie. I just grabbed a 360 last week so we can be new together. Plus weekends are usually the best time for me as the wife is home and can watch the kid.

I make no promises but I am around sometimes. ADD relinquishes the tv if I tell her I made plans with CoGers to play online. Let me know in the Weekend thread what you are playing and i'll try to join.
And don't feel bad about being quiet...the few times i've been online with Kielaran too, I was quiet. The man is a chatter box! The man would fit in an Irish Pub perfectly...:D

Someone, either him or Av, managed to drag a few words out of me about NHL free agency, but because of my newness, I also couldn't focus on what was going on. It's weird, I could hold a conversation with someone in another room while doing melee DPS in Burning Crusade back when I used to raid (not an easy thing, because all those bosses were whores to melee), but can't say five words without losing track of what I'm doing in Horde mode.
I'm generally pretty open-minded about playing things online, and am perfectly happy to try whatever game others are playing that night. I've got a bunch of shooters (CoD 4, Gears 1/2, BC), and a few co-oppy type games (Crackdown, Viva Pinata, NHL 2K8, [Edit: Rock Band 2]), so I guess it'll be whatever strikes people's fancy that night.
Edit: Oh hey look, Jackel's playing Crackdown again. Funny I should mention that.

Heh. I just got crackdown yesterday, so whenever you want to play, just send me a msg (If i'm not on xbox live, msg me through steam as I'm always on my PC for work)

I finished the SP months ago, but I never got to the co-op because I didn't even have a WiFi adapter at the time, so I'm definitely game for that. Besides, my Premium Theme says "Play More Crackdown!" I must obey.

I have a few of those titles. CoD 4 (borrow it from my housemate), Gears 2 and VP I have. I'm embarrassed to say I only rented Crackdown and haven't bothered to buy a copy. I think it's due to my aversion to spending more time finding the last few agility orbs I need to get that *bleeping* achievement :D. I know I can find a cheap copy of NHL 2k8 in Gamestop, i'm just lazy to go in and buy a copy.

I'm usuaully knocking around on the weekends. Although I am in London so sometimes that makes a difference.
As long as someone hasn't pulled me into helping them I'm up for some games. The only online game I have atm is Gears 2 though. I'm usually kicking around on the MP on that.

I'm on Live a lot lately, but it's mostly playing NHL10. I do play a lot of Rock Band 2, though. That'd be interested as I've never tried the online before.
