TIGS Game Night (!!!)

Posted by Lorne Whiting Fri, 26 Oct 2007 18:34:00 GMT

Saturday is Game Night.

Game night is fun!

Fun!

Join us in IRC, on Saturday (Tomorrow, or today, depending on where you live), for game night fun.

We will be playing JSWO(pictured), Starcraft, and Tribes. The last of which requires a lot of people, so DOWNLOAD IT tonight and PLAY TOMORROW!

TIGS Game Night 2 (1 was a semi-failure) begins in about 18-22 hours.

    Need some actual specifics in terms of rough time/date here. The world is a sphere and I don’t know whether to trust Tigsource when it tells me you posted X hours ago.

  2. Zeno said about 1 hour later:

    I plan on being there, playing Tribes probably.

  3. Lorne Whiting said about 1 hour later:

    Umm, like, it will start at 2200GMT at the latest, which is 2PM PST.

  4. Stwelin said about 1 hour later:

    fucking awesome! i will own you all at tribes. it’s the only fps i play. ;)

  5. Stwelin said about 1 hour later:

    oh wait… 2PM PST = 5PM EST… i get off work at 7PM. well that’s a downer. hope someone will still be around.

  6. skaldicpoet9 said about 1 hour later:

    Yes! I will definitely be there again :) Tribes ftw!

  7. Radix said about 2 hours later:

    I will definitely try and figure out what that is in local time when I get home from work. Don’t think I have a Tribes disc anywhere around here though.

  8. Lorne Whiting said about 2 hours later:

    Radix: Starsiege: Tribes is freeware now. Click the link in the OP

  9. Kairos said about 2 hours later:

    Don’t you need a FilePlanet subscription? In any case, there are plenty of other mirrors out there.

  10. Lorne Whiting said about 3 hours later:

    You only need a free account, but yes, plenty of mirrors.

  13. Paracetamol said about 6 hours later:

    Ah merde, posted this accidentally in the unicorn comment. My IP will hopefully not yet have been excluded:

    So for Europe: 22:00 for the guys in Britain (and … Portugese?) and
    23:00 for the Germans, French and Scandinavians. And Polish, Italians, ..

  14. Radix said about 9 hours later:

    Yeah, I remembered Tribes is free right after I posted that.

    Daylight Savings starts or ends or inverts or something tonight. Clocks are hard. Fucking ancient egypt.

  15. Xander said about 10 hours later:

    Dang it! I’m back home staying with family for the weekend so no game night for me. I’ll be back next week for anything though, especially Jet Set Willy! It’s hard. It’s hardcore.

  16. Ben said about 10 hours later:

    Hmmm, can’t download Tribes from Fileplanet… no Internet Explorer here.

  17. MedO said about 11 hours later:

    I’m using firefox and had no problems, except that you get a warning you have to click through.

    Never played JSWO or Tribes yet, and I’m quite mediocre at Starcraft… so tonight will be great!

  18. Radix said about 11 hours later:

    Hating Fileplanet, I just got it from download.com instead.

    Tribes: ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/sierra/tribes/other/tribes_fullgame.exe

  20. underwhelmed said about 12 hours later:

    Sweet sweet Tribes. god I miss that game, too bad I’m busy tonight.

  21. Akhel said about 12 hours later:

    Holy crap, Tribes seems to be hard. Anyway, I’ll try to join :)

  22. King o' the W's said about 12 hours later:

    Why does an indie game night have 2 commercial games and a remake to play? Wouldn’t it be more in the indie spirit to play things like Defcon, Savage, and Sauerbraten?

  23. M2tias said about 13 hours later:

    Yeah, that’s really weird. I think more people would join if you would play indie games. I would love to join but my connection isn’t enough for Tribes :(

  24. M2tias said about 13 hours later:

    Oh, btw, a bit off-topic but did you notice that Tim (indygamer.blogspot.com) is planning to sell his site…

  25. Kairos said about 13 hours later:

    @King o’ the W’s: Because those 2 games happen to be insanely fun? Starcraft is like the epitome of RTS games because of the story, balance and gameplay. The game is a real gem. It’s what the games industry should be churning out in terms of fun - people are still playing it 9 years from the initial release (Progamers in Korea).

    Dunno about Tribes though. I just downloaded it, and I’m trying out the tutorial atm.

  26. Nizzate said about 13 hours later:

    Im ready for another game of tribes…maybe ill have a challenge this time ;) I don’t think there is anything wrong with playing commercial games, there are some decent commercial games and this is one of them. We should get a big game of savage going next time.

  27. Melly said about 15 hours later:

    I would like to go for Starcraft, but I’m shitte at it, and my copy has issues with online play.

    I think I’ll try JSWO, though. Looks like masochistic fun.

    And like I said, no Tribes for me. Ping and FPS’s don’t go along.

  28. Zmann said about 15 hours later:

    People better jump on this JSWO. It looks like fun. Impossible old-school fun.

  29. Skaldicpoet9 said about 16 hours later:

    So are we starting this sometime in the afternoon or later on tonight?

  30. Zmann said about 16 hours later:

    “Umm, like, it will start at 2200GMT at the latest.”

    So depends where you are. It’s like 5:00 EST and 2:00 PST.

  31. Binky said about 18 hours later:

    That would be 4:00 CST.(Central Standard Time, for those that don’t know…)

  32. b ooobooo said about 18 hours later:

    What is the IRC server and channel name?

  33. Xander said about 18 hours later:

    To get to the TIG IRC channel, just click the IRC link at the right of any of the main pages, just below ‘Forums’ and ‘Features’.

  34. Nillo said about 20 hours later:

    w00t. JSWO was really fun. I’m gonna make my own sprite for it.

    More Game Nights!

  35. Zmann said 1 day later:

    Holy crap, we totally need to do more game nights. JSWO is a blast, and I had a good time playing Wesnoth too.

    TIGSource rocks!
