West Coast/Late Night 360 Event: Tues 1/2 Inaugural Edition

Description: 
I'm starting a weekly late night 360 event for those of us who are on the West Coast, have kids, or are otherwise on Xbox Live into the late hours. I'm hoping we can get a regular crew together, because I'm tired of getting on Live just as everyone else is wrapping up. ;) We'll see how it goes. I'm thinking Tuesdays, 9pm to Midnight PST. Let's start on the 2nd. Who's with me, and what do you want to play? I'm listing it as GoW to start out, but I'm open to whatever. GRAW and R6:Vegas also seem like prime candidates.

I'm down for GWJer game nights whenever, as long as I own the games in question. I have Gears and will be picking up R6:V and possibly Project 8 on Sunday. May I also suggest Splinter Cell?

Tuesday is our normal WCGN for PC games too. Otherwise, I'd be all over it.

I've got Gears and R6: V, although I haven't played enough multi in either game to be any good.

If you stick to Tuesdays I'm generally up that late anyway.

I'd be in for Gears on Tuesdays as well. I'm terribly awful so far at the controls though.

I might not be there this Monday, but I will be there regularly. I'm a late night or early morning player these days and have often found that things are just wrapping up by the time I come online. Great idea Fly!

I don't think I'll be there this week, I'll be pretty busy mourning Gerald Ford by drinking heavily. Also, my 360 is dead.

Good idea, though. I'll join you guys when I can.

But but, the 2nd is a Tuesday! They're saying Tuesday night.

In Ultima Online I used to poison hams and leave them on the ground in cities for people to pick up and eat. I can't believe how many people thought street ham was a good thing to eat. -Elliottx

I should be in on Tuesday night. Someone make the decision though. I haven't picked up R6 or GoW yet, so I'll need to know which one to pick up before tuesday night.

Pick both up! Even if you have to rent them.

No, the world revolves around me, and we must play what I have!

Who am I kidding. I'll use some christmas bucks and pick them both up.

Welp, dinner with some friends tomorrow night. Looks like I'm a no-show since I'll be 3 hours away from my xbox. I have EMT courses for the next 3 weeks as well, so I won't be attending until maybe february.

Ok, Gears of War tonight at 9. My wi-fi connection isn't the best for hosting, so someone else should get a game and some invites going.

If our numbers are too meager for MP, maybe we can get some co-op going. I've played hardly any co-op, and I'd be happy to jump into someone else's game. I'm just about reached Ramm on Hardcore, and could also use a little help myself.

Is it? I looked back a few weeks and couldn't tell if you guys had a consistent night. If the PC crew's going to stick to Tuesdays, we can switch this one to Wednesdays starting next week.

Yeah, we've been doing Tuesday for a while, but we've missed a week here and there. Wednesdays are good, at least until Lost starts up again.

Man! Forget lost. Just download it the next day from xbl.

I don't know if anyone showed up because of the actual event, but we managed to get a couple of hours of great GoW games in anyway. Nice games tonight, everybody. And way to represent, East Coasters.

I'm going to move the event to Wednesdays starting next week, provided that there is no mass protest on the subject.

Mass protest! At least a few of us west coasters already play Zombie Skate on Wednesday nights, and I know that at least for me, that is enough gaming for one evening. Of course, you are welcome to join us any time you like.

I suppose it was only a matter of time until someone came in and whined about Zombie Skate

How about some impromptu late night gaming tonight? I'll already be on Gears for the Tournament match, but given my current addiction, would still prefer R6. Either way though I'll be on and up for playing.

No snubbed invites tonight. I promise

Zombie Skate is cool, but I seem to remember it always being just about done by the time I was able to get online (after 9:00 PST).

Same here. I almost never see any zombie skaters on after 9pm. Then again, Podunk, do any WCGN regulars besides you have 360s?

I'm gonna put it up for Wednesday next week, let's see how it goes. Maybe we'll catch some zombie skate holdovers. Podunk, you better be there, dammit.

Ah, I understand now. See, my prime gaming hours are 6 to 9 PM PST, but you guys are talking about a later game. I suppose I should just be glad that my game time lines up so nicely with that of people back east.

Heck yeah, you should. Trust me, it's rough over here for us on the edge of the Pacific, and with kids.
