TIGSource: TIGS Game Night (!!!)

TIGS Game Night (!!!)

Lorne Whiting — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 18:34:00 +0000

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.

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!

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

More Game Nights!

“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.

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

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.

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.

@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.

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

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 :(

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?

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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, ..
